dollars 2 donuts Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Bills lost to the Jags in the 2017 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them. Bills lost to the Texans in the 2019 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them. Bills lost to the Chiefs in the 2020 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them. Bills lost to the Chiefs in the 2021 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them. The one thing we all learn about stats is that past performance is always 100% indicative of future results and can never, ever vary. I’m sorry, Cincy. Facts are just that…facts.

ChevyVanMiller Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 In 1961, the Bills became the first, last and only AFL team to lose a game to a CFL club as they dropped a 38-21 decision to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in front of a crowd of 12,000. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NlcrAAAAIBAJ&sjid=j50FAAAAIBAJ&pg=3039%2C1390338 2 Quote

Freddie's Dead Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) We're so awesome at winning when it doesn't count. Remember the game in Dallas where Emmitt was holding out? We won 13-10 on a last-second INT, to avenge the embarrassment in Pasadena. Then we got waxed 30-13 in SB XXVIII. We're kings of the regular season, whoopee!!!

Dablitzkrieg Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I really don't care about regular season wins, even blowouts, when you get out classed physically and outcoached when it matters most. That's 3 straight years Quote

On the bright side at least McDermott has four playoff wins as opposed to someone like Marvin Lewis. Imagine being a Bengals fan and watching your coach go 0-7 in the playoffs. 2 Quote

However, my memory is blank on how we did that same year, as well, against Washington and the Giants. ....Just checked. You are sort of correct with that. In 1993 we beat every team we lost to in the Super Bowl and we swept the East entirely as we also beat the Eagles. 16 hours ago, ChevyVanMiller said: In 1961, the Bills became the first, last and only AFL team to lose a game to a CFL club as they dropped a 38-21 decision to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in front of a crowd of 12,000. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NlcrAAAAIBAJ&sjid=j50FAAAAIBAJ&pg=3039%2C1390338 1 hour ago, Limeaid said: Weren't they also only team to play a CFL team?

They played CFL rules, which are quite different. The Bills had only existed for 1 year, too. It took a long time for AFL teams to get up to the level of NFL teams. The game was also played during the preseason of the Bills, but the middle of the season for the CFL team, so they were in shape. Previous matches between the NFL and CFL had them play CFL rules during the first half, and NFL rules during the 2nd half. The NFL teams won all those games. Not sure why they didn't do the same for this game. 2 hours ago, Limeaid said: Weren't they also only team to play a CFL team? They played a few NFL teams in those days too. But yeah, no other AFL teams. The AFL was in its infancy then. 1 Quote

That's 3 straight years That's an interesting thing about the NFL. 32 teams start the season. Only the 14 best teams make the playoffs. 13 of the best teams end their season with a heartbreaking loss. Obviously, I'd rather be the team that hoists the Lombardi. But minus that, I'm glad we're one of the elite 14. The regular season wins get us into the second-season (i.e. playoffs) where we at least have a chance for a SB. That's why I personally care about regular-season wins. One way to think about it is that the best teams win lottery tickets. Each ticket has a 1-in-14 chance of a Lombardi trophy. I'd rather have a lottery ticket than not have one. If you earn enough lottery tickets, the odds of winning it all get pretty good. Quote
