Poeticlaw Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I looked at the previous seasons to see the last time we were 2-0 Here is what I found 2007- Week 5 before 2nd win 2006- Week 4 before second win 2005- Week 5 before second win 2004- Week 8 before second win 2003- Week 5 before second win 2002- Week 3 before 2nd win 2001- week 13 before 2nd win 2000- This was the last year we went 2-0 but finished 8-8 Did not win 3rd game until week 7 So after looking at that and then looking at our next opponet I said ooo we are playing the Raiders Good% chance of wiining that one and what if we do win that when was the last time we went 3-0 to start a season I am not going to list all the years becuase it was that long ago 1992-It was not until week 5 that we lost and lost 2 in a row going ito the bye making them 4-2 going ito the bye. Im not going to say I am overly excited but It is very exciting to know that we are about to bring the 90's record into 2008. And also knowing that we are a second half team the thought of 3-0 and two winnable NFC games going into the bye week gives great hopes for this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taterhill Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 weren't we 2-0 in 2003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 weren't we 2-0 in 2003? In 2003 the Bills defeated NE and then JAX to go to 2-0 before they lost to the fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 weren't we 2-0 in 2003? I think you're right. That was our first year with Bledsoe, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think you're right. That was our first year with Bledsoe, wasn't it? Second...he came over during the 2002 draft. And I hate to nitpick, but last year we didn't get our second win until week 7. The Monday Nightmare dropped us to 1-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholic Guilt Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 2003 and our second win was against the Jags in Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Like the last time the Bills started 2-0, they beat the Jags in the 2nd game, and I was headed to Disney the next Saturday. Unlike last time, the Bills better not lose to their next opponent! I'll miss the Raiders game because I'll be at the Magic Kingdom, but I'll have to advance scout a sports bar to see if I can catch the score before the day is over.

JujuFish Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 For the hell of it, here's all the seasons we started 2-0: 1964: Finished 12-2, won AFL championship 1965: Finished 10-3-1, won AFL championship 1975: Finished 8-6, no playoffs 1980: Finished 11-5, lost divisional game 1981: Finished 10-6, lost divisional game 1982: Finished 4-5, no playoffs 1988: Finished 12-4, lost conference championship 1991: Finished 13-3, lost Super Bowl 1992: Finished 11-5, lost Super Bowl 1993: Finished 12-4, lost Super Bowl 1996: Finished 10-6, lost Wild Card game 2000: Finished 8-8, no playoffs 2003: Finished 6-10, no playoffs 2008: ??? So, this is the 14th time the Bills have started 2-0. Of the previous 13, the Bills made it to the playoffs 9 times and made it to the championship 5 times. Four years they missed the playoffs, one of which was in the strike-shortened season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
