The Bills beat 1 winning team and 1 play-off team

[Big Blitz]

The Saints beat 3 playoff teams this year and 2 of those were the Texans and Titans.  We beat one of those teams and a lot of folks think we can go in and beat the Texans.   

 

The NFL is wide freaking open this year. 

[Locomark]

To Op Ed....yet the Bills are a winning team and a playoff team.....    

 

 

better than being a 6-10 team and having beaten 4 playoff teams......

They earned a spot in the playoffs by winning their games. Many, many other teams failed to do exactly that. Nothing to worry about, as the Bills have a playoff game next week ! Lots of teams fans have turned their thoughts to the offseason and the draft. 

 

They also earned said playoff spot after 15 games.

 

Raise your hand if you expected that back in August. Beuller? Beuller? Anyone?

You are right.  They should forfeit to the 10 win Texans.

He is a closet Pats fan. You shouldn’t put too much into anything he says.

I know and I don't.  LOL

The Dolphins beat 2 division winners this year. Go root for them if that's what you're looking for.

10 wins is barely above mediocre

I know you must be upset. The Pats couldn’t beat a 4-11 Miami team to get home field and a Bye. 
Didn’t the Bills beat the Dolphins twice? 

[Stallions]

Why are posters so upset when something is stated truthfully, factually about the Bills?   It's little kids stuff!

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

At the end of the day, all that matters is the Bills now have a chance for their biggest win since 1995. Doesn’t matter how we got here. Beat Houston and it’s the biggest Bills win in 25 years.

[Mrbojanglezs]

Would your rather go another 17 years not making the playoffs.

Aaanndd this couldn’t be said in post game or the WC THREAD???

The Titans in week #5.  The 'signature' wins came against 8-8 teams in the Cowboys and Steelers. We finished 4-4 at HOME. 

 

WHAT - ME WORRY?

I mean. It’s not true. They beat 3 teams with winning records. Pit, dal and ten. Wether people agree with it or not, 8-8 is considered a winning record in the nfl

Huh?

The team they play this week is on par with Tennessee, Dallas and Pittsburgh.

 

Sure, the Bills haven’t beaten an elite team yet, but we’ll worry about that next week.

I have been more in the corner of the OP as far as coming back to earth on this team, but even within that, this isn't as black and white as I felt earlier in the season. Early in the season you could make a pretty good argument for us being overrated against our record. Pretty much all of the advanced data showed as much. As the season progressed we played much better and the advanced data shows that as well. So while I have been bearish on the Bills most the year, I'm bullish in the sense that we can A) steal a game from anybody in the league this year B) expect more progression next year.

 

This is a bright future ahead of us, as good as it's looked since the early 90's. I will even give it a +1 against the Flutie era playoff teams and those teams were no joke. The year we lost MCM, we very well could have went to the Super Bowl. That was one of the best defenses in Bills history.

No we're won't.  Houston is far from an elite team.  Maybe in two weeks there's a worry.....

Those defenses in '98 and '99 were far superior to what we have now.  As it is now we don't have a QB that can WIN a game rather than just manage it.

The other 2 playoff teams were all within 7 points IIRC.

I agree about the defenses, but we are only looking up, and that is in both areas you mention. Johnson and Flutie vs Allen (Forward Outlook). Allen all day. As far as that defense, well, we saw what happened. That was the latest best window we had. I see the next 3-5 years giving us a better windows than those teams. Especially when you consider we haven't laid it on with spending, YET.
