...but don't make the playoffs would you still be satisfied with the season and consider it a success?

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
yes. If the Bills manage a winning season despite the talent level and the pile-up of bodies on IR as well as the QB issues.....id be freakin shocked. Even more-so that they are a play or two from 11-5 if that indeed ended up being the case.

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
I will be a little disappointed, but considering all the injuries Buffalo has had, it'll only be a little disappointment. I have to admit that if the Bills do make the playoffs, I have zero expectations for how they might do once they get there. The only way that changes is if they discover an offense during the last four weeks of the season.Last edited by TigerJ; 12-06-2007, 09:34 AM.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
I would be let down but I would consider it a success for the reasons Devin stated above.
They have a crap load of injuries, a QB issue, now a rookie QB starting, an inept offense, and a bunch of nobodies starting major positions. 9-7 would be great.
I'd be a little let down just because they would have a winning record and not make it, meanwhile the NFC will probably have at least one .500 team make the playoffs.
If they do make the playoffs.... They could lose in the first round and I'd be sorta ok with it. It's been so freakin' long since they made the playoffs and at this point I've almost forgotten what it feels like to even play in a meaningful game like that.

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
normally i would have said no but with the bodies piling up like george bush lies and losman caving like democrats on wiretapping getting to nine wins would be pretty damn impressiveOne set of rules for all in the beloved community

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
at the start of the year i would have been happy with 7 wins.
that was before the injuries.
As far as im concerned this year is pretty much a success if they make it to .500My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
Yes.
I expected 7-9, or worse before the injuries, QB's, etc so anything better than that is good by me.
The bar is raised for next year, though.YardRat Wall of Fame

I'll be pleased but not satisfied. Pleased that we're heading in the right direction, but never satisfied with staying home in January."It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error." -- Martin Luther

Re: If the Bills go 9-7 this year...
9-7 would be amazing. A huge accomplishment for this team we had so many guys step it up this year. Anyone who doesnt give Dick credit for that is nuts.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
