If they lose to Miami or Kansas City, they don’t even have a chance. My point is, if everyone used an asterisk next to teams like that, we wouldn’t get very far. Give the Bills credit Your point is you have no idea what you are talking about because the two situations are not the same. YOU are making up your own "narrative" and trying to justify it with another situation that isn't even remotely similar. Teams "back into the playoffs" all the time. The chargers were a hotter team than we were, but dug too big a hole earlier in the season. I would bet that if you asked and NFL GM about who they would have played in the wild card: 2017 "3 point, Cincinnati miracle, tyrod Taylor led" Bills or the "Joey bossa qb eating and Phil Rivers led" chargers, every single GM and coach would say they would rather have faced the bills. You sound like you're WHINING about the 2017 Bills barely making the playoffs and not getting enough respect. Maybe you should scroll up and take your own advice about whining on another board.

Give the Bills credit For me - it’s the difference between a playoff team that’s a true championship contender vs the next tier of a half dozen teams that are separated by a funny bounce or rolled ankle. Whether you are the 6th seed or the 8th seed doesn’t drastically change my view of a team most years 2

But like a lot of teams there, they got a few lucky bounces there way. That’s why I don’t buying into the “backing in” argument. It happens to a lot of teams
hemma Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Mayfield is too short Zay Jones is a bust Peterman is the worst ever and will never improve Josh Allen is a pre-bust and will be a bust Current topics, current events.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Trent Edwards career was ruined by one hit in Arizona.
BuckeyeBill Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 The fact that Buffalo has the worst weather is overblown. Yeah, we get snow, a lot of it. But there are other teams that have rough weather too. The media talks about Buffalo like it is in the Arctic Circle.

It happens to a lot of teams It happens all the time- not just 6 seeds either. We’ve seen division champs skate in with luck or circumstance Again, why I’m saying I don’t think simply getting in is that big of an accomplishment or the 7 that much of a failure. I’d obviously rather land 6 and have a shot than 7 and be home but don’t think I change my evaluation at all based on whether cincy completes that pass 1
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 since it is all past related, I'll pass on subscribing to any and look forward to the future. trust the process
RememberTheRockpile Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 "The duel threat QB is the wave of the future in the NFL". Been hearing this one since the 60's. Still waiting for it to come true.
Chuck Wagon Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 McBeane has a grand master plan and we just need to trust them.
mead107 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I am just a Bills fan. Go to Buffalo for the tailgating. Game is just a bonus.

Dadonkadonk Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Darryl Talley was a grat player. He was a B- player who played behind the greatest DE in NFL history. He missed more tackles in SuperBowl XXL than any other player and was the second reason they lost the game. He just was never that great and does not deserve a spot on WOF. Marv Levy was a great coach. He was a very good coach but not a HOF coach. He is the number one reason they lost SuperBowl XXL. He didnt control the players during the week and let Kelly keep throwing. Thurman would have had 250 all purpose yards had he told Kelly to stop.

Many teams have gotten into the playoffs and even won the Super Bowls thank to fortunate situations. No one goes back and says "yeah the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2001 but they were lucky because of the tuck rule." I could rattle off countless scenarios. Could have. Should Have. Would Have. Get over it. I'll even requote your original post. pretty much EVERYBODY agrees they got lucky with the tuck
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I'm honestly sick of fill the holes and wait on a QB. We didn't load up on draft picks this year to sit tight and watch what could possibly be one of the best draft classes at QB go to waste while we have two backup QB's on the roster. Anyone who thinks Beane isn't moving up hasn't been paying attention. We are moving up deal with it and pray it is for the right guy.
