LI_Bills Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 As a fan I hope they lose for the draft position. But no way do I want players that think that way.
White Linen Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 There's no reason to win this game for the betterment of the team. Of course the players won't feel this way but it's absolutely how a fan should feel. The added benefit of possibly dropping the Jets a couple spots too.
boyst Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 sit the starters. go for depth. the guys lost rex and maybe they'll be happy enoguh with that.
WotAGuy Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 By starting EJ, haven't the Bills made it clear they are tanking?
K-9 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 It's hard to ask a professional athlete to take it easy and not play to win. Especially the Bills. Because they don't have to be asked.
WotAGuy Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 The Billsy result would be EJ throwing 4 TDs and the D shutting them out.
Fadingpain Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 We're starting EJ aren't we? What more tank do you need?
PromoTheRobot Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!! I...OBEY I'm all for losing this one for draft position. But you know people are going to act like we suck even more if we do. Not sure I can take that after this week. Edited January 1, 2017 by PromoTheRobot
LI_Bills Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Holy flashback to New Years Day, 2006. Jets-Bills at the Meadowlands. Neither team had anything to play for, but the Jets had more to gain from the loss than the Bills. Sound familiar? Reggie Bush was the presumed target for the Jets. I was at the game with the same ambivalent feeling I'll have tomorrow...I can't actually root against the Bills but I hope they lose for the higher draft pick. Bills go up on a FG mid 4th quarter...and I could be wrong but I think the drive started with a kickoff return for a TD by McGee that was called back on a penalty. Regardless, Jets return the ensuing kickoff for a TD and the Jets fans are pissed This is messed up: Mario Williams goes first in the draft, Bush goes second, Vince Young goes third and finally the Jets take D'Brickashaw...which probably was the best pick. Moral of the story: play your balls off and draft well! Suck for Luck is a rarity. Happy new year to all!
Playoff Bound Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 This game should be treated like a pre-season game. Play all the backups and see what they can do. If they win then fine. if they lose, thats OK as well. I would prefer they lost because they end up with a better draft slot in each round,

John from Riverside Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I would like to see the bills look at players that might actually be counted on guys NEXT season for evaluation..... Such as Logan Thomas C. Jones
DDD Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 For years I have always taken the position to lose to improve draft position. And for years that has resulted in me wanting to lose to improve draft position.
Utah John Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 It's January. A serious knee injury now would push recovery times past training camp and maybe into the regular season. It's just not worth it to risk McCoy or Watkins.
