Buffalo Baumer Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I don't care if this idiotic team does not make the Super Bowl for the next 50 years but can they at least field a team that makes the last 10 games of the season SOMEWHAT worth watching. Too bad the Bills don't play all their home games first so at least you can get a little bit of your moneys worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You can still watch a young team try to improve. It doesn't beat watching a playoff team but it's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderswr80 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 noway.....week 3 was it for me. A bad Jets team at home opening day and we lost, that was the turning point for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectations fell back to 5, maybe 6 wins, about twenty-two minutes into the Bears game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectations fell back to 5, maybe 6 wins, about twenty-two minutes into the Bears game... 816604[/snapback] See with me, before the season i thought we had a team that could possibly be a game or 2 out of the wildcard spot, but now.....its just a total mess. 6 wins, wont happen, id be shocked if it did. Remember, we have 9 games left, and still play Indy, SD, Jags, Baltimore, all those teams have decent defenses. We couldnt get anything moving against a terrible injury depleated Detroit Lions team...with the way Buffalo is playing, they wont beat those teams. I also dont think they can beat the Texans on the road nor the Jets..... I dont see this team winning more then 2 more games.....I just dont. If they can come out and manhandle the Packers I mean, put up 30 plus and pound the ball and have a decent showing of defense then my tone might change. But if Buffalo struggles against GB's Defense then this team is in serious trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad Jets team at home opening day and we lost, that was the turning point for me.... 816600[/snapback] And you weren't mildly encouraged by the win over the Vikings? I really don't think anyone could say that this team was done after week 3 - even knowing what we know now. I'm not saying I expected them to contend for the playoffs, but that got them back to 2-2 and all I was hoping for was to hear the ESPN "experts" say that Buffalo was playing better than expected.

When Buffalo beat Minnesota, lots of people started saying the Bills might not be as bad as thought, and the Vikings not as good. Then, two weeks later, Buffalo loses to Detroit, Minnesota beats a banged up Seattle...you really can't tell much about these teams from week to week. Buffalo could just as easily beat Green Bay and Houston, as they could get blown out by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the Bills don't play all their home games first so at least you can get a little bit of your moneys worth. 816572[/snapback] Were you expecting playoff's this year? What exactly has changed between the beginning of the season and now? Coming in, it was a young team hoping to improve as the year went along and expecting a roller coaster ride along the way. That's exactly what's happened. The thing worth watching, just as it has always been for this team, is improvement. I watch every week because I want to see individual plays, because that's where I get to see if players have improved. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluv Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 For the past few Halloweens it's been more trick than treat when it comes to the Bills as the mindset is always finish strong, add a few draft picks and free agents and look forward to next year!

Nothing worse than making the effort for the road trip, taking time off from work, getting a hotel, etc...only to have your team not show up...the losing is not as disappointing as the "quality" of the loss...no shock in losing to the Bears and the Patriots, it is just the way they lost...

If we stink up the next 4 games, then the Chicago game was more a turning point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldnt get anything moving against a terrible injury depleated Detroit Lions team... 816613[/snapback] The lions were depleted on the offensive side, not on the defensive side of the ball....A guy named Hall had 3 1/2 sacks in that single game.....You have to call out the defense for that game for not being able to contain a Lions offense that had 3 scrubs on its starting OL......

I haven't seen either this year, a slow regression with a continued lack of excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
