Dante Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Given the schedule, our fragile offense and seemingly 50/50 chance at the Bills making the playoffs, there is little margin for error. I mean, we can't afford to lose "winnable" games like this one against the Texans. It's tough when you are in the same division as the Super Bowl winners all the time. It's almost like your starting the season off at 0-2. Not that im a pessimist but just trying to be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said last years opener was a must win and it turned out we really needed that game at the end. I say every game vs the AFC is a must win. The opener will set the pace if we win.

So, hells yeah, it's must win. I'd also prefer we win when we wear our "Bills" jerseys this year instead of the "Broncos" jerseys we've been wearing most of the time lately.

I say something like 4-2 or there upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that im a pessimist but just trying to be realistic. 429914[/snapback] first of all, the bills don't have a "fragile" offense -- they have an UNPROVEN offense; unproven because none of us have seen this group play when it means something. when are you gloom-and-doomers going to see the difference? wait until they have stunk it up when it really counts before calling them out as pathetic. you're not realistic; you're pessimistic as hell. you are correct in one respect, though. good teams -- playoff teams -- do not lose home games against the houston texans. 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I haven't even seen this team play a real game together. Hard for me to call anything a must win b/c for all I know they could go 2-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Based on last year's week one, i'd say that this game is a must win... Just think if Clements would have knocked that 4th down pass away, the bills would have been a wild card team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly agree it is important, and would really ease a lot of fears about the rest of the season, but I think this is one of those occasions where it's fair to say "must win" is an overused term.
