Doesn't matter. The Bills got theirs a couple drafts ago, remember?

Yup why wait until after the game to whine about the inevitable refs cost the Bills the game. Hahahahahahaha

Added Nate Silver to original post.

Nah, who would want to see him when Kyle Orton is on the field as well!

41.8% doesn't put it in the hands of the Bills.

The Bills D probably is angry ... but they are angry at the Bills O Ouch!

Oh I couldn't agree more about the direction of the team. The D is there now and the O is only missing a few pieces (one being the most critical). The future would appear to be bright.

Not sure about the boasting part, but I also believe most here have written off the team regarding playoffs this season. It's pretty easy to see why. Look at the scenarios. If you are aware of the situation this should be obvious to you. Given the likelihood of any of the required scenarios playing out, can you really blame them? I mean, it is mathematically possible that Kate Upton will decide today that she cannot live without sleeping with me. But (sadly) no one should think that is going to happen. Nothing wrong with the OP and others doing some "what if" goofing around of course and maybe joking about it hurts some peoples feelings. But believing in the easter bunny has never been my strong suit i guess.

Well I think that's kinda the point of the "grumps". It doesn't really matter in terms of playoff implications for the Bills. But that doesn't mean that the "grumps" as well as the "non-grumps" can't still enjoy the game. Yes the Bills are still mathematically in it now with more and more improbable scenarios every week. And I have no problem with people who enjoy figuring out the scenarios if they enjoy it. But seriously, very possible?

Bills get 3 points for being home, plus GB has played much better at home this season than on the road. But yeah, is 5 points enough to get the non-Bills-Fan betting public to bet on them?

I should preface this by saying I did not read the article as I do not read anything of his. This does not apply to all Bills fans, and not even all Bills fans here ... but there is a rather sizable contingent that complains week in and week out about how the zebras are unfair to the Bills. Every single game, win or lose. Any thinking person has to realize this is impossible without some kind of conspiracy going on. Those people ARE crybabies in my opinion.

Maybe .. Just maybe ... If we can convince Justin Bieber to go hang with all the teams we need to lose ...

You really think BellyCheat gives a rats hairy ass about the Bills playbook?

C ... I don't care about football at all anymore except for the Bills.

Generally I would see a big win by GB. But I think this will go a lot like Denver. GB will have a big lead at halftime and will coast in the 2nd half more worried about running the clock than the score which allows the Bills to get the score closer than the game actually is. GB 38 Bills 28

Both of the ones by Gay were those stupid kick it to himself ones that both times didn't go the 10 yards. Unless Gay shows the coaches something this week during practices to make them believe he can at least give the team a chance, I'd say give Carpenter a shot if it gets to that this week.

Orton is a slight upgrade over Manuel at best? Man, we sure have a different opinion of Manuel's ability at this point. What they gain by playing Orton, in my opinion anyway, is the possibility (small as it might be) of eking out 2 more wins and getting to 9-7 which just might save some coaching asses. If they play Manuel they could much more easily lose out and end up below .500 yet again. Playing Manuel makes sense to me as well for the long term. But I suspect Marrone is not looking long term right now. He is looking to have a job next season.

Calls, correct as well as incorrect, always have an impact. But to think that for 15 years or more that [nearly] every game the calls go against one particular team goes against the laws of probability and would require some outside influence. I do not want to call out anyone in particular, but you can find threads like this as well as others after nearly every game. More after the losses. I am mainly just wondering what people who think this way think is the explanation for the outside influence, because I do not think that way personally.

So, it would seem that a lot of people here comment that the officiating is biased against the Bills almost every game. Even the wins. Do you chronic anti-officials posters think there is a conspiracy against the Bills, a subconscious (or not) bias by the officials against a team that has been mediocre to bad for 15 years, or what is your explanation for the constant anti-Bills officiating? Or maybe is it just therapeutic post-game venting?

??? What could it have been?

As much as it might hurt to admit it, at 24-3 in the 4th, Denver was happy to give up the underneath stuff to burn clock. They also almost exclusively ran the ball, again to burn clock. I think they underestimated the Bills O a little and expected their D to keep the Bills out of the endzone which made the score a bit closer than they would have liked at the end. But the 4th quarter was all garbage time.

I agree that this team is close to turning the corner. But not there yet. IMO, the Bills need 6 things: 1) Starting QB 2) Starting QB 3) Starting QB 4) A young Fred Jackson 5) Upgrades to the OL 6) Better OC and HC No reason to blow it up. Get the required upgrades which should be possible (QB is of course much harder), sit back and enjoy as fans.
