Utah John Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Then we did what we're supposed to, win at home. Need to finish 6-2 at home, or better, and 4-4 on the road. The path to 10 wins either includes winning on Sunday or upsetting Green Bay in December. Six home games left, NE - MN - KC - NJJ - CL - GB and all are winnable though NE and GB are tough. We have 5 road games left, NJJ - MI - DE - OAK - NE, and should win NJJ and OAK, getting to 4-4 on the road. So if the Bills lose to both NE and GB at home, they need to pick up one more road win, probably Miami, which is realistic but always tough. EJ costing the Houston game will really bite if we drop another winnable game and settle for 9 wins. Or if it turns out 10 wins doesn't get us in. For all the one game at a time guys, sure I get it, but it's important to understand what's at stake this week.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 And looks good doing so? Do we instantly give him 50 million? Do we all buy Orton jerseys? Do we bow down to the mustache messiah? The road to the playoffs always goes squarely through New England in this division, and if the Bills beat the Pats I'm ready to believe. If they get beaten handily, it's just another year of business as usual. you do nothing but celebrate the W. Orton is a band-aide and nothing more
Realist Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Orton is here only until EJ is ready (probably next year or year after), or a new qb comes in and gets ready. To be honest, I see Orton as our qb through next year...unless he completely ***** the bed.
Fan in Chicago Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 ... we endure a week long media commentary about how TB* had an uncharacteristically bad day and how the officials made some bad calls against the Pats*. Oh and also several posts here to temper our enthusiasm and not get too happy.
Utah John Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 you do nothing but celebrate the W. Orton is a band-aide and nothing more Sometimes a band-aide is all you need. The team was built this year to expect only weak play from the QB. Anything beyond that is for this year a bonus. From the looks of Orton, he's a competent, middle of the pack capability, which is far beyond what EJ was doing. Whether Orton is better or worse than Fitz, we'll have to wait and see. At least for now, he's a lot cheaper than Fitz.

sjjr Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 It would be a huge win that sets up the Bills to be in control of the AFC East with a potentially softer schedule over the next several weeks. At this point, he needs to win to validate the decision and what he currently makes. Only way he would get a new contract would be if they get to the playoffs and deemed the starter going forward at the end of the season.

BmarvB Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 A win sends a loud and clear message that these aren't the same old Bills of the last 14 years, and it's time to take us seriously again.
Bangarang Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 ESPN would never let Orton or the Bills beat the Pats. They would certainly spin it to make it about the Pats.
Chandler#81 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Then we will be 4-2...that is all. Xackly. Nothing more, nothing less. 4-2 ain't crap if we're 4-4 2 weeks later. One at a time.
Heitz Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 If Orton beats the Pats we, drink in Hammer's Lot. If Orton loses to the Pats, we drink in Hammer's Lot. But maybe we think about shaving our porn stashes.
JC2002 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 It wont be Orton that beats the Pats it will be the Bills that beat the Pats and it will mean that we are moving in the right direction and gives us a chance to build momentum and a nice streak before heading unto the bye week.
