In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 ESPN The Bills rebounded from their ugly Week 5 loss to the Cardinals with another well-rounded display against the Chargers. The Bills can win with offense, defense or special teams. CBSSportsline.com As long as Trent Edwards plays like he did against the Chargers, the Bills will push for the division title. They're better than we thought. FoxSports.com Rejoice, Bills fans! The respect you all knew was coming has finally arrived after a solid win over the Chargers. Especially impressive is how Buffalo continues to roll on despite several injuries -- its depth is much stronger than in years past. NFL.com Beating the Chargers made a strong statement that the Bills are among the AFC's elite. Now they have a chance to do some damage in their division.

MarkAF43 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Interesting comments from each, and pretty spot on after the Chargers win. yea i forget who it was, but someone on tv i believe said something like " yea its nice but it would have been a lot better if they beat the chargers in SD" not sure who i heard it from, but there are still some people who doubt this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 IMO- The Giants don't belong in anyone's top 5. They have played the easiest schedule so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 yea i forget who it was, but someone on tv i believe said something like " yea its nice but it would have been a lot better if they beat the chargers in SD" not sure who i heard it from, but there are still some people who doubt this team As they should. We're getting exactly the respect that we have EARNED. We have been losers for years and years, and we are just now showing that we do not still deserve that title. And we are doing it slowly. We aren't blowing teams out, we're winning hard fought games, and we lost an embarassing game. As we EARN more praise, we will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It would better if Bills had not had a slow start AGAIN but now "comebacks" are coming earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent, it's those commentators who just go against the grain just to do it, whether it be the Bills or anyone else... "well everyone is saying they are good, but i'm gonna be different and say they are still bad" those are the morons i am referring to..... but i believe you are right, slow is the way to go with this and i am happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball'n Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 yea i forget who it was, but someone on tv i believe said something like " yea its nice but it would have been a lot better if they beat the chargers in SD" not sure who i heard it from, but there are still some people who doubt this team I don't remember who that was but they said I won't think they are in the AFC elite until they beat a contender as the away team, such as the game being in SD. That comment was stupid in my book because we beat a tough Jaguars team as the away team thus neutralizing their comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 We've had a fairly easy road so far too. In fact, not counting match ups our opponents have less losses than the opponents of the Giants, Steelers, and Titans. Washington and Arizona have both played opponents with more wins than losses.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 IMO- The Giants don't belong in anyone's top 5. They have played the easiest schedule so far. That's true but IMO you don't disrespect the Super Bowl champ with a low ranking until they seriously show you something to doubt them about. We'll see what happens when they hit the meat of their divisional schedule. The same can be said for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Maybe I am feeling a little cockey, but I would love it if the Bills played the Steelers this year, and whipped their asses...I feel like I have seen them play almost as much as the Bills this year, and I really think the Bills are a better team. If Buffalo could just dominate, once, with the running game, I would be absolutely sure...what a difference a year, and a QB, makes! Alas, it won't happen, unless we meet them in the playoffs!

BuckeyeBill Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Of the Bills final 10 games, 5 of them are against teams ranked 25 or lower! If we win those, and go 2-3 against the rest of our schedule... can you say 12-4?? Playoffs... very real possibility!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Anybody want a stat? Ok, how about this: Of The Giants (5-1), Steelers (5-1), Skins (5-2) and Bills (5-1), The Bills are the only team whose loss(es) come soley at the hands of a team with a winning record. Giants lost to the 2-4 Browns Steelers lost to the 3-3 Eagles One of the Skins' lossess was to the 2-4 Rams. Sorry our competition hasn't been up to snuff for some of these guys and the other teams among the top five have been so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
