CodeMonkey Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) NO SUCH THING as an embarrasing win, UGLY -----> YES but in the end no one will remember how you won, just that its a W. this win could be the difference between making the playoffs and the Bills watching them from home. So no win is ever ever embarrasing. ^^^ this ^^^ But the posters in this thread that are talking playoffs this season, did you watch that game yesterday? Neither of those teams will be in the post season if they play like that, nor should they be. But also as the saying goes ... you are what your record says you are. And right now that record is over .500. Edited October 20, 2014 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to guess even THAT is better than most expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) A win is a win, so let's all pretend the Bills are playing great football in the last three weeks. Yes, they played like crap. But I am not embarrassed they won. There are teams that play poorly and win games, there are teams that play good and lose. The Bills over the past several years were the latter. If you're good enough to play poorly and win in the NFL, you have a pretty good team. This team needs to improve, no doubt. The O line is horrendous, we probably have the 2 worst starting guards in the league at this point. But if you can win and continue to work on the issues, it's much better than the alternative...

buffalover4life Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Again, we need a last second tounchdown to beat a George Edwards Mike Zimmer D that completely shut us down. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 A win is a win, so let's all pretend the Bills are playing great football in the last three weeks I'm fairly certain no one happy with the win also believes the Bills have been playing great football the last three weeks. (But with that strawman argument, you should come visit us at PPP. What I'm saying, at least, is that this is a game we surely would have choked away in the past. But didn't. And to have such a thrilling three-minute drive to tie the game with unthinkable throws/catchs...including a ridiculous 4th and forever...was a lot of things, but embarrassing isn't one of them. Next week is another game, and no one knows what will come of it, but today? Today a crapload of people are going to work in a great mood after spending an afternoon watching an exciting 'circle the wagons' game the likes of which have been few and far between.

BillsVet Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Against a rookie QB playing on the road in an offense without their All-Pro RB coming in 2-4? And the Bills turn it over 4 times, allow 5 sacks, and win by 1 at the last second? Going to have to play better than that if you're going to make the playoffs.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) So we should be embarrassed by bad played wins, which this surely was. But there are also no moral victories, so we cannot take credit for playing well and losing. We cannot blame the refs or the fact the other team has good players that make plays in losses either. We also have to consider what players were hurt on other teams who presumably would have beaten us. So either we dominate or we cannot be happy.

Prickly Pete Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I guess the word "embarrassing" is what people are hung up on. How about "discouraging"?

So you can't be happy with moral victories where you play well but lose, and you can't be happy with victories where you play poorly? I'm sure it's true that you were happy with the win. But it surely sounds from your post, and others, that you cannot enjoy it because it is hollow or unsustainable. I completely understand if someone is happy with moral victories and unhappy with wins like this because it bodes better for the future. Or if they are unhappy with moral victories but happy with winning games you played awful in. But if you're unhappy with moral victories and unhappy with wins like this, you're just an unhappy person, and IMO it's an unreasonable stance.

LB3 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Bad analogy. Lotteries are random. So you are in on the bet? It's pretty sad that you want to make a bet that allows you to root against your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Good grief - how many games has Buffalo lost over the years that they should have won? It's beyond counting. So they finally win one they probably should have lost - so what - enjoy the win - that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Just sayin, I took the Bills in one of my survivor pools and I'm quite quite happy today. ( on the flip side ugly win, but hey it counts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
