ricojes Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 This week and next they are the key....hopefully they'll beat New England this week and do us a favor and then we can thank them by crushing them following week Go Chargers ..against NE I don't know about this one. Obviously next week is the real key game from a Bills stand point. This week is kind of tough to call. SD will be battling for one of the wild cards and they have a team that can definitely win 10 games, but back to back losses to NE and Buffalo would really put them behind the 8 ball. NE is very beatable this year without Brady, but it's a divisional rival and a loss for them is probably more beneficial to Buffalo. I guess it's one of those games where I would be happy is NE loss, but not terrible disappointed if they won... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 in that case it would be back to back to back losses against Miami, NE and Buffalo. Yes, and it would put them at 2-5 and that's the bottom line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 This week is a must win for SD. I know this is said about nearly every game every week but they will be in a deep hole if they lose. Makes them hungrier when they play Buffalo. Does anybody know Buffalo's won lost record coming off of bye weeks. I want to believe that it is not good.

It seems to me that for the past several seasons we had faced the pats* after their bye week and they whipped up on us every time. It seemed frequent enough that I remember complaining about it last year. Turns out they probably used the week to film our defensive play calling so that they could react to the calls in real time the following week.
