This was the excuse that we heard after the Cowboys won the MNF game against us. Why shouldn't we believe that it works for us too?
As far as I am concerned... we won ugly today. But... guess what... WE WON!
On top of that.. it was against a division rival, who had their backs against a wall, and played like they had nothing to lose.. oh... and it was AWAY!
I'll take a win like this... any day!
Here's to a 4 game winning streak, and playing spoiler next week!
You make a good point, but the difference is that Tony Romo hardly has had back to back awful games. JP has had his share of inconsistencies. If JP can have a good game next week, in my mind he would have cemented the job for the rest of the year because NE is as tough as it's going to get.

Hell YEAH!!!
Winning ugly is part of football, and it was our turn today finally!
I'm going to enjoy it, we know we're better than that, but today,
we didn't need it! WE WON! :squish:

Yes, I'll take the win and it is great that we are 5-4. But the goal is the playoffs and JP will not be the guy to get us there.
Should I pretend like I didn't see JP completely suck for the entire game?
Does anyone here not believe that a healthy Edwards wouldn't have done a better job today? Seriously, anybody?

I think edwards most likely would have played better but i hated how we came out this game...also a couple receivers made some bad plays reed on sideline and gaines over the middle gaines was easy 7 and JP made enough plays late to help us win
Still the D won this game

just as good teams win ugly good players find ways to win even when they arent at their best
jp was painfully awful the first half. im kinda shocked how bad he was and wonder if i was premature in believing he had turned the corner. im certainly not ready to give up on him but lets just say im less confident in him than i was before this game
yet when the game was on the line and the bills were down by eight is when he started making plays. between this year and last hes developing somewhat of a pattern in being able to do that
criticize him all you want and he will deserve most of it. but he did it when he needed to time after time after time late in the game to seriously help the team win. note also he didnt make any mistakes down the stretch, another key to pulling out the win. hate all you want but nobody can take that away from him
one thing for sure if he craps the bed like that against the cheats, even for just a half, the holes gonna be so big the team wont have a chance to pull it out at the end. it will be interesting to see what happens next week

assuming what Edwards might of done, is just worthless bullcrap.
Yes we saw JP have a bad game, but we won.
Which was good enough for Trent, when he had a bad game, but we won.
So :stfu: and enjoy the divisional win. (You can pretend that Trent played today if you want), we WON!

Excellent post Meathead.
JP was bad and downright awful at times. But when they needed it he led them on two scoring drives in the 4th Quarter to win. Do we need more consistancy from him and better play. Absolutely there is no way around that. But I still am going to beat the drum that no matter who the QB is, as long as Fairchild is gameplanning and calling the plays this offense will be downright frustrating to watch.

To be honest I couldn't stand that guy. I loved watching those teams play, but on offense with him leading the way it could be downright, hit your head against a wall frustrating. I remeber that Baltimore game when he played like crap, the Defense held them to six points or something and we pulled it out at the end and Flutie was god. Anyway, a win is a win though.

Flutie saved our franchise!
It's at least a lot better than losing pretty.
This makes up for the Dallas loss.

I understand Flutie saved the franchise, but that was in 98 and I'm eternally greatful.
In 1999 he wasn't very good, and that is something I think people forget because we were winning.

Good Teams Win Ugly
Then Buffalo is the best team ever because that may have been the ugliest game I have ever seen. Truthfully, I wasted three hours of my life.

That is good but it doesn't make you good. Difference there. We will see where you stand next week. I will be surprised if you keep it within 17. If you play like you did today, you will lose by 30+

it's a watered down league....the Bills of today would get spanked by the '91 or '92 Bills 66-0. The 2007 Pats might be the only team in the league to be able to compete with those 4 SB teams or the NYG, Wash, Dallas teams.

I agree with Pride's original premise.
To be able to defeat a team when you don't bring your A game is significant.
The Bills may have taken a valuable step in their development yesterday.

If Booker catches one of those two passes the Bills lose.

Booker should be gone next year. Rookies can drop those passes just as well as a higher paid vet

If the kickers miss two last second field goals we're 7-2. It works both ways.

I don't believe Trent would have done better. I seriously don't understand what makes people have comments like this. You only saw JP suck for the entire game? I watched the game at the Bills Backer's Bar. There were 24 of us there, and 10 of them started yelling for Trent in the 1st Q. The only thing that would've accomplished was (maybe) tie the score at 3. :rolleyes:
This game was mangled by the entire O side of the ball. They weren't opening holes for Lynch, 5 different guys missed catches, some throws good some bad, and they weren't giving JP any time. They wouldn't have been able to do that for any QB, so it didn't matter that JP was in there other than to give his haters more excuses to hate him. It was ALL of them.

When you start throwing "what ifs" in there, the possible scenarios become endless.
What if Gaines catches that ball?
What if the Josh Reed pass is complete?
What if one more block was made that could've sprung Lynch for a long one?
What if Buffalo could hold on for 5 more combined seconds vs. Denver and Dallas?
Every game has "what ifs" but you can't use them as excuses or dwell on them because in the end the only thing that matters is the final stat - W.

You have beaten the teams you are supposed to beat, the reality is you are not a good team, and you struggled against a ****ty team yesterday.
Beat a great team and I'll give you guys respect.
Good teams are not one game above .500.
"Oh but we almost beat Dallas"
By that ******ed logic, I could say we almost beat you so that makes us 1-8.
I'll take this win too man! Any WIN is a good WIN. Especially against the Fins, a DIVISIONAL opponent!
I would like to give away the big burn on my upper lip though!

It was an ugly win, but it makes up a little for the ugly losses. I'll take an ugly win over an artistic loss any day of the week.
Whether we're really a good team remains to be seen, however.
