SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bills-get-signature-win-with-4434-victory-over-seahawks-212511515.html The Buffalo Bills are for real, and they want everyone to know. The Bills rode a strong first quarter to a 44-34 victory over an uncharacteristically feeble Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, making a statement against a powerful team and getting their signature win of the season. Bills quarterback Josh Allen became the sixth quarterback to pass for over 300 yards against Seattle, and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw two interceptions and fumbled twice. 1
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Curious to see if any of the trolls will be creative enough to disparage this win. Would be some next level trolling. 1
Saxum Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 All of the issues with Seahawks were Wilson's. He had many errors not called by referees for he is NFL's golden boy. 2 minutes ago, SageAgainstTheMachine said: Curious to see if any of the trolls will be creative enough to disparage this win.

H2o Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 We got the monkey off of our back last week beating the Pats, have wins against 4 teams currently with winning records, and beat the Seahawks today who were 6-1 coming in. I don't know what else needs to happen. We are light years ahead of where we were even last year. Hopefully things keep progressing in the right direction. Go Bills!!!

Fixxxer Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Sorry, no signature win today, no defensive TDs, not a single safety, for defense minded HC that's a total failure....... 1 3
Wizard Posted November 9, 2020 Author Posted November 9, 2020 As the OP of this thread, I have enjoyed the various viewpoints. Ironically, ESPN, whether loved or hated, made reference to this win as a Signature win. This was probably the most complete game by Buffalo this year and in recent memory in all 3 phases of the game. On to the next challenge and continued momentum to be a tough out in the playoffs. 2

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not but the 4 turnovers helped a lot.... As far as a “signature” win I think this one makes the football fans who don’t follow every moment of the Bills 24/7 (like the majority of us) take notice that we are for real. I think as far as coaches/players/fans a playoff win fits that bill a lot better. 1

VW82 Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I was tempted to start an "Apologize to the coaching staff" thread for all the nonsense posts over the few weeks about our game plans but decided to post here instead. That Pete Carroll post game quote about not anticipating us completely abandoning the run was priceless. We're a different team every week, emphasizing whatever we need in order to win the game. I don't know if this counts as a signature win but it was a good one. Edited November 9, 2020 by VW82 1

I'm not referring to you, Major, but it cracks me up how some people operate here. They set a bar and when the bar is topped, there's an excuse why that doesn't count. This was absolutely a signature win. But though Seattle was thought of by pretty much everyone as a top three team and by many as the best in football, for some it won't count. You'll ask them why and they'll throw nonsense up in the air in vast dustclouds, but the real answer deep in their hearts is that the Bills only beat a team that was so bad that they could be beaten by the Buffalo Bills, and therefore couldn't have been much good. Yes, that's circular logic and logically eliminates the possibility of a signature win. But it's what's in their hearts. Edited November 9, 2020 by Thurman#1 1

The COVID PS rules help in that Metamorpho philosophy but have NOT seen what that Son of Bum did when he went back and forth between 3-4 and 4-3 alignment when he had 2 injuries to starters.
BillsPride12 Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Yes this was absolutely the signature win so far of the Beane-McDermott era. We have known since last year we can beat bad teams that we should be able to beat. But now we know we can play with the big boy teams in the league. 1

No just like moral victories(close losses) you get what you earned The bonus point would have been a Cowgirls win over the Squeelers 10 hours ago, VW82 said: Pete Carroll post game quote about not anticipating us completely abandoning the run was priceless. That was priceless You would think that would make their job stopping the Bills easier

I just dont think there is "signature" wins in the Season. Those for me come in the Post Season.
