If you can only do that between 10-20%, you’re obviously far, far, far from Prime Time and Playoff Ws! And, it is highly unlikely there has been a signature W, against a star studded, healthy opponent. Like the Bills have been this entire generation, including under McClapper! sorry bro. you can take your regular season trophies. some of us want the real deal holyfield, and others like you...you'll settle. get to the playoffs and the big boy wins begin. so be giddy that the raiders beat the chiefs...like it matters at all right now. you may not be, but some of us are looking for more than regular season wins. talk about setting the bar low.

I’m always looking for Playoff Ws. Like, there have been sooooo many of those since 1995! 1995!!! The Bills are 1/8 teams that haven’t played in a Conference Championship since 1996. That’s how pitiful, they have been. 24 freaking years! 25 without a Playoff W. That’s why I said earlier that the minimum bar is to beat Playoff Teams at a 50% rate minimum, so that you win your Division and finish 1/2 in the Seedings. In that way, I obviously believe the goal should be to reach the Conference Championship. By winning Playoff games. But, If you can’t beat a majority of Playoff teams during the Reg Season, then you are most likely not making them. Nor, beating anyone, should you have the luck of the stiff 2019 sked. A la McClapper.

The bar then was winning EVERY game and the SB! I’m a little more relaxed now and stone cold realistic, notwithstanding what I want.

It's a win that signifies that you've arrived, that you are one of the elite. It's a win over a team that already is there at the top. It's a win that says you've joined the club. And there hasn't been one, which is the debate here. If you're going to say they arrived beating Duck or Thanksgiving vs. Dallas, who btw went 8-8 going 5-1 in the division & beating Detroit, Miami and LA Rams (but yes two wins vs. 9-7 teams), again that is laughable. Bills only win in 2019 vs. a winning team was vs. Tenn (Mariotta + 4 missed FG). Go Bills (& spank the Pats).......

corta765 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 They won on the road in 2017 against ATL and KC both who made the playoffs that season and prior year. The Falcons were in the SB and at the time that win was consider the biggest in over a decade plus on the road. I don't disagree they need to win more games against the top teams regularly to take the next step, but there have been wins yearly that are sizable.

As stated Atl was very early in McD's tenure and we were already told not to expect much, but yep a very good win, as was KC. 2018 Tenn & Minn 2019 Tenn Thus I will repeat not including 2020 they are 5-17 vs. those with a record over .500. Conversely they are 20-6 vs. all others.

Yes, the history of the team has nothing to do with a signature win. lol You can't really be that stupid. McDermott has a win that put the team in the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. Nobody in 17 prior years can say that.

machine gun kelly Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 You mean like beating the 5-2 Rams, who just beat the 5-1 Bears. The Dolphins are no slouches and the Raiders record just went backwards, but will show by the end of the year they are a good team. After we win this week, you’ll make the same argument and we’ll be 6-2. The Hawks and Cardinals will be tough tests. 1

Billsfan1972 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 10 hours ago, High Football IQ said: Has any media member ever asked McClappy why he can't blow another NFL team out? I'd be curious to see his response but then again it'd probably be something like 'it's hard to win games in this league, you need to play tough, hang around in the 4th quarter each week and try and find a way to win'. Also for the folks that insist on pointing to last year's Cowboys game as a 'signature win'....we beat them by 11 points and scored two total TD's. Also they weren't a playoff team and the middle of a downward spiral. The Steelers SNF game is a similar story and it took 5 INT's from a fringe 3rd string QB that will likely never seen a meaningful snap in an NFL game again to barely hang on and in that one. Maybe someday this coach will go on the road against a dominant 13 win team and blow them out but don't bet the proverbial farm on it, until then enjoy all the low scoring, one score wins that has been his MO since 2017. You are not allowed to talk about these things with McD as coach, because remember it is a Process. Now being blown out, that's okay, because it happens. To actually blow-out a team, is just not something the Bills do..... Notwithstanding they have won some games by lopsided scores, but that is lost with the Offense (prior to this year) usually being shutdown come the second half.

Wouldn't mind a taste in the regular season. Only beaten three playoff teams 2017-19, the Falcons 10-6, Chiefs 10-6 in 2017 & last year's Titans 9-7. A little practice (i.e. beating playoff teams) wouldn't be a bad idea.....😉
