What say you? 795371[/snapback] Sorry, but the Bills haev not earned the right to have a statement game. We lost that right by collapsing at home to the Jets. If we do beat the Bears it will simply be an upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Trooth Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Well, I'll go with reality and "trooth" on this one. Bears in a sone cold lock over the Bills this weekend. I may be a Bills fans, but I'm a human first, and if I use my brain as God intended, all the evidence I've seen points to a Bears victory. This Bears team looks like a SB team. This Bills team resembles nothing like that, right now. Bears earned respect by winning and a stout defense. The Bills will get respect as soon as they deserve it.

ACor58 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 It will still be a statement that we beat a #1 team at THEIR house! 795390[/snapback] It would be a nice win and an upset, but not a statement. If we were 3-1 and still underdogs, then yes, it would be a statement saying that we are for real. However, we are 2-2 and choked one away against the Jets. The win would turn some heads, but would not be making a statement. The Patriots had a statement game against the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daquixers_is_back Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Longer than you! 795392[/snapback] Then you shouldnt be upset by stuff like this. I have been a Bills fan since I was born and this seems to be the re-occuring them for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I wish Buffalo could have faced GB and Detroit to open the season too, maybe then they would be 3-1 or 4-0 Buffalo loses to NE (in a close game) beat the Dolphins in a game most thought was a loss for Buffalo against the hot SB pick this year, Lose a close one to the surprising Jets (who played well against Indy last week) and beat the Vikings (a team the Bears almost lost to) The Bears are good, but not as good as their record shows. They got to feast off some week teams to start the year and make them look better then they really are. But I guess most people just look at the record and think "SB, here they come!"

There have been VERY GOOD teams in years past that started out 1-3 and then went to the playoffs. It didnt mean they werent a good team. Just means they had a bad start. Just because the Bills are 2-2 instead of 3-1 does not mean that this is not a statement game. Thats ridiculous. The Bills very well should have beaten the Patriots.

Are you really trying to draw a distinction between "turning some heads" and "making a statement." Why do you get define what is and isn't a statement? Why are you even arguing this? The point the author of this thread was trying to make is that beating the Bears this weekend, in their own house, after the way they beat the Seahawks, would draw some attention and change the way the Bills are viewed. That is a correct statement. You're argument is pure semantics and irrelevant. Stop being so nitpicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 he just dosent get it man! 795434[/snapback] I get it just fine. Here is what I am saying. The Patriots are a Dynasty and have been one of the best teams in football for the last 5 years. They barely got past us, barely got past the Jets and lost to the Broncos. They then went into Cincy, some peoples pick to win the Super Bowl, as Under Dogs and kicked the crap out of them. That is a statement to the league saying that they are the Patriots and should still be feared, despite people writing them off. We are the Bills. If or when we beat Chicago it would be a great victory and an upset, but at the end of that game, we will not suddenly be viewed as a force to be reckoned with or a team to fear. One win against the Bears does not earn that for the Bills. I guess that what I am saying is that we are not quite good enough to make a statement yet. That doesn't mean that later in the year we might have a chance, but right now, I am sorry, that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
