The optimistic side of the loss...nothing lost

[Doc Brown]

We almost lost to the Bengals and Dolphins at home.  We could easily be at least 4-3 with a tougher schedule coming up.  I'm fine with 5-2 and hopefully 6-2 after next week.  Sometimes you need a good spanking to get back on track.

THIS is not our year.....but it is coming. I’m happy with 5-2 for now.

They answered the question today. It was a bad answer.

Ya.   I'm feeling the wildcard unless someone proves to me that the Pat's are actually beatable. 

If we had a world class special teams coach we wldve avoided that blocked punt TD and beaten the Pats.   

Or a head coach that knows how to call a timeout when he sees a play about to blow up in his face.

Of course it hurts us.

 

We're now just about out of contention for the division. And we have one more loss than we would have otherwise.

We lost to 2 latest Super Bowl champs only. All other games are won. I don't see a reason for panic.

I’ve read before that NFC losses help you make the playoffs.

 

I've read this also.  I think the order of importance according to most is actually:

 

1.  Division win

2.  AFC win

3.  NFC loss

4.  NFC win.

It’s an NFC loss, sure so not as damaging. It exposed many cracks in the Bills scheme, though. That’s worrisome going forward. The good news is there are a lot of mediocre teams in the NFL and many of them are on the Bills schedule. They weren’t winning the division anyway, and you could probably say that for about 26 other teams if they resided in the AFCE.

the issue is we have beaten the most garbage teams in the league and got beat down by a decent one. we are lucky we were given the easiest schedule ever and still have easy games ahead

We have beaten Tennessee on road. They are 4-4 like Eagles so they are decent team too. Looking the schedule It was expected we win 1 of these 2 games. And it's better we won in game with AFC competitor.  Nobody expected perfect season without losses.

This happens to every team in the NFL not named the Patriots. The Cowboys got manhandled by the Jets a few weeks ago. It happens.

we beat tenn when they were playing garbage mariota. they are a complete different team without him. and even vs that D we only scored 14. and were lucky to face mariota. and tenns wins are vs buccs browns jags and falcons all garbage to. but without mariota are much better

 

its a fact we have beat the bottom of the barrel

Shining the national spotlight on the Bills always seems to produce horrific games. I'd prefer no nationally televised games including Sunday, Monday or Thursday nighters! And let's not flex that Patriots/Bills "showdown" in December, either!!!
