TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I love it. I'm sure the players feed off of getting no respect. I know I would.
elroy16 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I don't know who Michael Silver is, but he's an idiot. No way in hell the Texans and Browns take the two wild card spots. Take out his two long shots and I can't get too bent out of shape with what the rest thought.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I saw this yesterday and my reaction is WGAS?

Additionally, BF4E, even if we go 10-6 I am not 100% confident of that record getting us in if we are just 6-6 in the conference.
Beerball Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Whether the Bills make the playoffs or not will depend 0.00% on what pundits have to say. If you want to fret think about our offensive offensive line.
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I also love that all the "experts" keep picking the bills to lose in their weekly predictions, ruining their year-long prediction records they all seem to be so proud of.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Last week, Marrone used the experts making the Bills underdogs against the Jest. Here's to him similarly using these expert prognostications as motivation for a 2nd half playoff push.
boyst Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 As soon as the Pats lose one game the headlines will then say the AFCE is up for grabs, anyone can win it. If they lose 2 games in a row or short time span the headlines will then read that the Patriots are vulnerable and will struggle to win the division. Of course, these headlines are going to get attention. Just like at the checkout. Bat boy found in Arkansas. JLo has alien living in her tuchas. Bill Clinton wants sex change. Then you look and they got you
K D Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 yep did you see the "sounds of the game" with Brandon Spikes? he was telling the other guys on the bench about how the Bills were the underdogs vs the Jets and everyone was getting pumped up. i love being the underdog. good motivation

I agree, Sorry if I was unclear, that is what I meant when I said the Bills need to win out in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Especially in week 17 The Bronc's game will be very tough challenge. GB should be tough too, but they have struggled a bit so far. The Browns - being a homer I say the Bills get a W, but they have played tough against good teams. If the Bills flop against the Faiders ... I will be physically JLo has alien living in her tuchas. Got pics?? I saw the movie Parker on the plane yesterday. Edited October 30, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever

DC Tom Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 C'mon...after 14 years of abject futility, does anyone here honestly expect the Bills to make the playoffs this year? We might hope they do...but deep down, is anyone not completely pessimistic and expecting them to collapse down the stretch?

Nicely thought out, ricojes! Yeah, at the time I thought the loss to Houston would hurt us and it looks more and more like that is the case each passing week. I don't think about the Patriots game because in retrospect we just weren't going to win that one. For our remaining games I see the increasing difficulty to win as follows: Jets Oakland Browns Miami KC Green Bay New England Denver I believe the Jets and Raiders are sure wins, Browns and KC likely wins, Miami and GB, shaky (yes, I know it is out of order, but it just the way I feel - sorry Big Cat - about a being a road team on a Thursday night game), and I just don't think we can win at all in Denver and New England. ...weird to think, though, if the Bills win all their home games and beat Oakland on the road they'll be 10-6.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 C'mon...after 14 years of abject futility, does anyone here honestly expect the Bills to make the playoffs this year? We might hope they do...but deep down, is anyone not completely pessimistic and expecting them to collapse down the stretch? It's likely to come down to the Pats game the last game of the season. If I were the Pats, I would lose to the Bills on purpose, knowing that if for some reason you had to play them again in the post season, you could beat them whenever you want. If it's another team that gets in instead of the Bills, there's a chance they could beat you.
FireChan Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 It's likely to come down to the Pats game the last game of the season. If I were the Pats, I would lose to the Bills on purpose, knowing that if for some reason you had to play them again in the post season, you could beat them whenever you want. If it's another team that gets in instead of the Bills, there's a chance they could beat you. I could see it. It'd be kinda funny to see the Pats up 14 in the 4th, Brady throws the ball behind him into the end zone. On the ensuing kickoff, Edelman forgets the ball in the end zone and runs away. Bills go for 2 to win while the entire Pats defense lies on their stomach in front of the O-line.
