707BillsFan Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I hate losing, even if it would help our draft position. I don't want the Bills to be that ONE team that loses to Cleveland. The Bills will probably draft middle of the pack anyway, not sure a few spots either way will make or break the pick.Win!!
Prickly Pete Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 I want them to lose, but with a winner's mentality! "We didn't really lose, we just ran out of time."

Maybe Wrex Wyan can ride off into the sunset with a new, modern-classic, lose/win quote of his own? I think he needs one, to put a cherry on top of his controversial career. One for the ages.
BigBuff423 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Whatever it takes to get Rex fired and Tyrod run out of town....
JPL7 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Here is my question to anyone saying they dont want the Bills to lose... What is the upside?? What's the point? We have won numerous pointless games at the end of the year in previous seasons that just cost us draft positioning. With a loss, it adds a nail in Rex's coffin, hopefully we sit Tyord the rest of the season (because, as much as I hate to say it, he isn't the guy), and we don't completely wreck our draft pick. It can't even be argued that winning this game would be beneficial in anyway.
DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 It can't even be argued that winning this game would be beneficial in anyway. Sure it can: it's not losing.

Ohiostyle Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 The browns have this game circled as their one winnable game. I would be shocked if we win; it is the most Billsy thing in the world to lose to the browns. This is exactly my thoughts
KD in CA Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 I hate losing, even if it would help our draft position. I don't want the Bills to be that ONE team that loses to Cleveland. The Bills will probably draft middle of the pack anyway, not sure a few spots either way will make or break the pick.Win!! Only problem with that theory is the Bills have proven the ability to !@#$ up their first round pick no matter where in the draft order they fall. "Winning is a habit. Unfortunately so is losing." --Vince Lombardi. Losing is a disease....
reddogblitz Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Only problem with that theory is the Bills have proven the ability to !@#$ up their first round draft pick Amen. What makes anyone think even if we did tank we'd pick the right guy. If we fire Rex what makes anyone think Terry will hire someone better. Sometimes teams mark time at 8-8 or 9-7 for a few years before breaking through. I remember the Saints did that a few years with Blake at QB until they got Blue Drees. The didn't tank to get a good qb. then they were set and off to the races. I'd rather see us do it that way. I don't trust the Bills to go 3-13 and get back to .500 much less playoffs in 5 years.
DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 I don't trust the Bills to go 3-13 and get back to .500 much less playoffs in 5 years. Especially since after one 3-13 team, this crowd will clamor "We suck! Blow it up and start over!"
reddogblitz Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Especially since after one 3-13 team, this crowd will clamor "We suck! Blow it up and start over!" Oh totally. The blow it uppers say they'd be happy losing knowing better times are ahead. Would be about half a season before the bitching would start again.
DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Oh totally. The blow it uppers say they'd be happy losing knowing better times are ahead. Would be about half a season before the bitching would start again. If the Bills did that, how many seasons do you think it would be before the "blow it up" crowd got as bad as "The first half sucked! Blow it up!"
Nitro Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Never root for them to lose. I want them to win. After following the team for 50 years, I have had enough of losing. Just win and deal with the future in the off season.

I'm sure you are right about where they will draft win or lose, plus the Bills haven't exactly been setting the world on fire with their drafting anyway. The only real advantage I can see is for the fire Wrecks crowd. Being the only team to lose to Cleveland may be the straw that broke the Pegulas back and force them to fire him. Particularly if they play to win, i.e. play TT.

Talk about keep doing the same thing when it's not working. gheeez It's all pissing in the wind probably anyway. When Terry hired Rex he said he wanted stability and gave him a 5 year contract. If we win 2 out of the last 3 we will have gone 3 years without a losing season. Stay the course for at least 1 more year anyway IMHO.
