TC in St. Louis Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Face it. When you're in the division with the Pats, who with Brady are nearly invincible, you start the season 0-2. Which means you are in a hole to start the season. The Pats screw up the entire division every year. 8-8 in our division is equal to 10-6 elsewhere. How many seasons has Brady played? How long since we've made the playoffs? I know, that's weak. The Jets and Phins have made the playoffs. But the Pats have been a huge factor in our not making it. Duh.

When the Bills were good that is how the rest of the division felt about them. That is what needs to be recreated.
plenzmd1 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Bills schedule this year was a dream schedule...playing two divisions where not 1 team of the 8 is over 500. Not ONE! Last year AFC North took advantage of playing both of the South divisions, this year looks like the putrid AFC east cannot. And I think every fan outside of NY, Buffal and Miami says " well of course the Pats get homefielsd, they are 6-0 to start the season in that sorry ass division. " and I agree with that point of view.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Right, it the pats fault the bills suck
billsfan714 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Hoodies record against the division since 2000.....Bills 28-4, Miami 21-10 and the Jets 23-10
May Day 10 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Should have beat nyg, jax, was, phi... maybe even the big game vs kc. There's 11 wins with dallas and nyj still to play
machine gun kelly Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Excuse making. 20 years ago, the Pats said the same thing about us. They improved, we went south.
NOVABillsFan Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) the point I believe is that if you add 1 or 2 more victories to the Bills each of the past 15 seasons then the drought may not have lasted this long. Edited December 22, 2015 by NOVABillsFan
QB Bills Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 the point I believe is that if you add 1 or 2 more victories to the Bills each of the past 15 seasons then the drought may not have lasted this long. If the Bills had gone undefeated against the pats all this time (lol), they would have gone to the playoffs in 2004 and...that's it. The patriots are not what's kept buffalo out of the postseason. They've sucked against the rest of the league too.

How many games did the Bills miss the playoffs with last season going 9-7? 10-6 wouldn't have done it? http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=div&season=2014-REG&split=Overall Looks like they would have edged the Ravens out with a better Division record
May Day 10 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 if the Bills would have just won all their games and were a better team, they would have made the playoffs during the past 16 years.
BillsFanNC Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The OP is correct in the sense that playing in the Pats* division leaves little room for error with the rest of the schedule. The Bills cannot afford to drop those "supposed to win" games and yet every year they do, which of course begs the question are those really just games they are "supposed to lose"? In the end, they just blow.
Maury Ballstein Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 if the Bills would have just won all their games and were a better team, they would have made the playoffs during the past 16 years. These figures are accurate.
The Frankish Reich Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Should have beat nyg, jax, was, phi... maybe even the big game vs kc. There's 11 wins with dallas and nyj still to play Teams with a winning record that the Bills defeated this year: Jets. That's it. This was not a playoff team. Period. Even in the NFC East (0-3) this would not have been a playoff team.

QuoteTheRaven83 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I will bet we go anywhere around 6-10 or 8-8 next year. I will put 1,000 dollars on it. Any takers?
