QB Bills Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 And this board is littered with threads on QBs for next year and PEOPLE {idiots} complaining about Tyrod. What happened to this place? There have been a couple of good posters come over from BBMB but it seems as they've been vastly outnumbered by the mouth-breathing table jumpers. That can't be all of it though. I think the Bills have finally broken some of you when I read that you'd rather miss the playoffs than get knocked out in the first round if Tyrod is the QB. We have a realistic shot at the postseason for the first time in forever and there is zero buzz around here. What's the deal? EDITED by Moderator. No Name Calling. 8 1
Elite Poster Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 To be honest, the outcome of that game does not necessarily control our destiny unless other things happen and lets be honest, this franchise is not lucky. It might be depressing, but I've already decided it's done. You have to control your own destiny. 5
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 It’s been 20 yrs since we’ve had a franchise QB. Sorry, I want more ??♂️ 5 1
Peevo Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I subscribe to the "broken" emotional fan you describe above. It's just been too long, and I'm too young to know of the "glory days" when the team lost a bunch of Super Bowls in a row. It's not so much the ability to see the Bills as winners, as I doubt they'll get the help. The odds are something like 13% the Bills win and get all the help they need. So it's not looking good, and that's LIKELY. It's more likely they miss than get in. That's a fact. I can't take much more of this "wait 4 months until the Patriots win the Super Bowl" thing. It's depressing, predictable, boring, and stupid. Nobody cares, nobody likes it, nobody wants to see this again. They'll win another one, and Belichick will COMPLAIN at the postgame podium about how much less time his team has to prepare for the draft after all these long playoff runs. And the wheel keeps turning. Someone needs to put a bullet in my head. I'm at a complete emotional loss. A lot of fans that for some reason either convince themselves (lie to themselves) that they're gonna win each week get on the "naysayers" that offer a reasonable, fact-based, objective perspective. Somehow I'm a bad guy for not believing in a team that's known for nothing but losing virtually their entire existence. They're a franchise loser, with a 408-467-8 overall record. They'd need years of sustained, consistent winning to just get back to .500 overall. The future is bleak. Let Morty explain this better than I can. Edited December 28, 2017 by Peevo

The truth is yes, it's nice to make the playoffs but we've also seen enough bad football over the years we know when the team is good and not so good. I think we're trending upward but I'm in the camp that feels Tyrod isn't and will never be good enough at QB. 1
oldmanfan Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 I expect a win Sunday. Cutler will fold like a cheap suit once again, and guys like Suh aren't the types to put forth maximum effort in a meaningless game. If the Bengals come to play for their coach's last game, we have a shot. 3
CSBill Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) The questions here is, will Mike Mularkey screw us again? .... for you younger folks, the Bills were heavily favored in that last game of the 2004 season--all they had to do was win, they were on a 6 game win streak and were just killing teams---to the Pittsburg Steelers, who sat all their key starters. And yet, they still crushed us rather easily. I rank that as one of the top three losses in franchise history: 1) Wide Right, 2) Music City Ripoff, and 3) The Great Let Down vs the Steelers. The only question for this week is, will the demons be exercised? Edited December 28, 2017 by CSBill 1 1

BillnutinHouston Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Hard to think of the game as big when we need so much outside help.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Weird season and weird Bills team. There isn't much to get excited about for the future.
Steptide Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 2004 and 2017 are looking very similar. If I remember correctly, we had to beat the steelers in week 17 AND the jets had to lose. Jets lost but so did we unfortunately. This year we have to beat the Dolphins AND the Ravens have to lose

xRUSHx Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Miami is home where they won against NE, sadly I see the same end to the Bills.

See edited original post) I could be mistaken but I’m fairly certain 04 wasn’t win and in. We needed a jets loss and got it becuz I remember the stadium cheering when the jets score popped up and they lost and I also remember hanging my head on the way out thinking we had that game go our way and still couldn’t beat the freaking steelers 2nd and 3rd stringers. 2
DCBongo Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 This game would be bigger if it were truly "win and in", but to have a realistic chance to play in the post-season for the first time in 18 years makes this must see TV.
Patrick Duffy Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Either way, it will be an exciting Sunday evening as I myself look forward to it. I actually think the Ravens can easily lose this game just as well as the Bills could lose to the Fins. So it's really up in the air. But it's still great IMO that this team, even with the ups and downs it's had during the season, still has a shot to get in on the final game of the season. Usually season is over in November or early December. Nice to finally have a full season of meaningful games, especially at week 17. So I'm stoked and can't wait til Sunday. And celebrating New Year's Eve at the same time.

Hosting a NYE party, I will start with the Bills game in the background. If it's close and one of the other scenarios is playing out I will hook up the other tv and go full on football mode and ignore the company until the games finish. Go pick up the Chinese Food Go in the Kitchen Go make a snowman Just get out of the way of the damn TV. I hope it comes down to that but we shall see. 1
