BillsNYC Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 A member of NYCBBB sent this email, which puts the loss into perspective with the loss and the Bills of the 90's. Brilliant writeup and worth the read, brought back lots of memories: http://nycbbb.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62
lets_go_bills Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 The loss was good thing, we needed it. Hear me out and don't get me wrong, I'd rather of won and be 5-0. But the loss was humbling and put things into perspective. It's a long season and we've got a ways to go yet. It also cooled the media on us, which takes away some unwanted heat and attention. I think the loss will make our guys hungry and ready for more.

I think the loss will make our guys hungry and ready for more. And this is why it's good to lose a game once in a while. The more a team wins, the more they start to feel invincible and take the opposition for granted. I'd rather have a team that's 4-1 and knows they need to work for every win instead of a 5-0 team that just thinks they'll win before the game starts.

But, as worded, I'd take a 5-0 confident team any day of the week. Now, is it better for the Bills to be 5-1 with that 1 loss coming from Arizona or the Chargers? Definitely better to lose to the Cards and come into this game fired up and ready to get back on track.
aussiew Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for forwarding that Matt. It did indeed bring back memories.
UncleBuff Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I am optimistic about our chances this week BUT.... Isnt saying a loss may have been good in a very tight divisional race kinda whistling while walking past the graveyard?
IDBillzFan Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Nice post. I really got a laugh out of this: Anyway, we lose to Miami and then win eight in a row before losingto the Oilers.......two days before my 14th birthday. That year, I asked for two things for my birthday: A Bills win over Houston, and to finally stop wetting the bed. I received neither.
