I'll bet you 10k that the Bills win out if you bet me 10k that the Bills lose out. Deal?

Well, since you asked for a little more realism. You're on a Bills fan site. This isn't a general football realist site. Maybe join NFL.com message boards if you're turned off by... Bills fans expressing hope for their beloved team? Do you have any clue what lengths the OP has gone to watch and support the Bills? To quote the pre-match song of probably the indominable fans in all of sport, "Walk on, with hope in your heart. And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone."

I think we really need to focus on stopping the run, and hope there's no hurricane force winds.

For sure, I just think the team, and Josh, plays better in prime time.

I don't, those are the only game we seem to lose. Josh just plays better in prime time.

Nobody prefers reading insistance that pervasive negativity is "realism" outside of those who are emotionally damaged and suffer from PTSD. For them, assuming failure gives them a sense of control and a quick dopamine hit.

Looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.

You're a rational, level headed poster. Even when you disagree, you have reasons that are well thought out as to why. You are not one of the myriad of harpies to whom my post references. But I will take issue with something here. Yes, not only is being a Bills fan an emotional commitment, I contend that we actually have the ability to effect the game (to some degree). I have zero mathematical evidence to present. This is a purely instinctual and emotional belief. But I very much believe in home field advantage and the ability of the crowd to lift the team. And I take issue with the weak spirited contingent of Bills fans who do in fact project their fears about the worst possible outcome into the future as soon as the going gets tough... These are the contingent of people who were among the group of idiots who showed up at the airport to welcome the team back from the AFCG loss at KC and chanted "0-4! 0-4!" at the team at 4am... I digress...

I think might have been the one who told the guy to eat a D. Lol

Just our of curiosity, did you spend all of your energy worrying about the combination of ways you could lose your match? (I'm doubting you did.) For me, I don't see any value that the Concern Queens of the board have in ruminating on what could go wrong, and their demand that everyone accept their worst fears will come true. I do see value in talking about the ways our team can improve, and looking at what went wrong in the loses and what the solutions to them are. It truly is an any given Sunday league. The Bills could lose any game left on the calendar. They could lose all games left on the calendar. I just don't see the value in spending energy worrying about losing. Who does that help? True story, when the Ravens came to town in Lamar's MVP year, it was a close game. We had a chance to pull it out at the end of the game. On the whole, the home crowd was pretty good. But there was this one guy sitting behind me that would screetch "Nooooo!!!!!" everytime Josh cocked his arm to throw. Like this dude was living in terror that Josh was going to get picked every time he threw the ball. I think about that guy when I read all these screaming banshees demanding everyone else accept that their worst fears will come true. Worst part of the experience in this board, imo.

Must be that time of the year to lose out for a higher draft pick!

When did we win one game? I must have missed that.

Maybe his mom runs his Twitter account also?

Christian Watson is looking good!

That might be real. But there's been a million fake cloned accounts over the last few weeks saying ridiculous things.

No no no, you always project the worst possible senario into the future. The Bills lose out, Josh Allen retires to raise goats in Montana, Terry sells the team to Canadian Tire and move to Oshawa. Mark it down!

He's actually been good over the last 3 games. They would project to 85 catches, 1,150 yards, 6 TD's and a 68% catch percentage for a whole season.

Kelly was also 31 before he played in his first AFCCG.

Shhh, if you don't admit the season is over and the Bills won't even make the playoffs you're a Polyana. It's your duty as a loser fan to always assume failure, put down everything you can and demand others to do the same.

What value do people think it brings to fellow boards memebers to post things like this? It's the NFL, we could lose out and finish 8-9. I's a realist! Ya buddy! Hopefully the Bills lose by double digits, then you'll really have something to post about. Hee haw!

Can you guess my name?

Talk about our of touch with reality, expecting a team to play like it's the Super Bowl every game of a long grueling season that's seen the whole league decimated by injuries.

You remind me of someone who enjoys smelling your own farts.
