John Clayton - hatin as usual

[The Answer]

What an assclown. Sad thing is he will probably end up being right:

7. Buffalo at New England: NBC either struck gold or made a programming blunder. The Patriots might be going for an unbeaten season, but this is only Week 11. They are coming off a bye. NBC decided to dump Chicago-Seattle for this potential blowout.


The Bills probably won't have Marshawn Lynch in the backfield because of a bad ankle. In Week 10, the Bills struggled to put up 13 points on the winless Dolphins. This has the makings of a 41-10 game, which doesn't make for compelling television The only drama in this one will be if the Patriots try to run up the score.

Re: John Clayton - hatin as usual

how is that "hatin"? We did struggle against the Fish and we are missing our best player. And the Pats already blew us out once this year. Everything he said is true.

Buffalo Bills (5-4)

I know, you all think it's hopeless against the Patriots on Sunday. New England has won its last three in Buffalo, scoring 28 or more each time. And when the teams met in September, it was Pats, 38-7. All I can say in rebuttal is remember the Buffalo-Dallas game. Folks up there get feisty when constantly reminded how bad things are.

Was I the only one who watched the last 20 seconds of the Dallas game? We LOST!!! LOST LOST LOST!

How is a LOSS an example of how we can beat the Patriots (especially when the team we lost to proved that they're inferior to the Patriots)?

Only Bills fans who have accepted mediocrity use "almost victories" as positive examples. I hate that defeatist attitude- "we almost didn't lose so it was a good game." Give me a ****ing break.

No, for the billionth time, you were not the only one who watched it. All he is trying to say is that things can get rough for the Pats because of the way we are when it comes to adversity. He did not say we would win because of it. Only that it "could be" a factor.

How can you say that nothing at all positive came out of the dallas game? Yeah we lost, so what. You cannot sit there and tell me that you deny that the team did not at least grow because of it.

Losing sucks, being spoiled in the early 90's ruined us on this current edition of this team but damn bro, throw in some good points when making your bad ones for a change.

The Answer feels your anger and frustration OP - but consider it took a freakin miracle (and some horrible coaching) for Dallas to beat us - the same team that is 8 - 1 and blowing out everybody they've played except for the Pats who handed them their only loss. They look to be well on their way to the superbowl in the NFC.

With Lynch we would have been able to hang with the Pats but it might be a lot tougher now.

the Dallas game is the worst loss I can remember, and I was at the 2004 finale against Pittsburgh.

It was our chance to prove something- our chance to win a big game for the first time in easily 6 years, and we failed. Miserably.

Nothing good comes out of an epic collapse.

I want to play the cowboys one more time this season, on the last game. That would be quite a headline and a real good time for our revenge.

I'd tell you you're missing the trees for the we-have-a-young-injury-decimated-team-in-the-wild-card-hunt forest but I wouldn't want to intrude on your little bubble on perpetual misery.

Carry on.

how does any of that change the fact that we lost a game where we caused 6 turnovers and had an 8 point lead with 2 minutes left?

"good despite injuries" is not the same as "good".

and if you think this is going to hold up when we play the Pats, Jags, Browns and Skins instead of the Jets, Ravens and Dolphins, you're kidding yourself.

The Dallas game is even worse than an almost-win. It's a we-were-winning-but-blew-it-in-an-infuriating-outrageous-inexcusable-way-in-the-last-minute loss.

no, you're wrong.

We didn't get blown out, so it was a good game.

OP, we lost the dallas game and it's a deep wound. Does everyone understand that now, everyone?? Great.

We our on a 4 game winning streak and need to beat a great team for #5, new focus / new team to beat.
