how many wins do the bills need to get some national coverage?

[trapezeus]

34-10 in a complete game. it's a little odd that the monday NYT had two sentences on the game, yahoo sports barely had headline in its football section, and espn only showed the punt return and the fake field goal to gloss over the whole thing. Pretty disgusting.

I think the bills have to be 4-0 with at least one more blow out win before some decides to have a small segment to give the team some props.

I think beating Jacksonville is a step in the right direction. But we have to keep it up. If we beat the Jags, we'll be at 2-0 with two wins over teams who made the playoffs last year. But we could ruin all of it if we come back home and lose to the Raiders, and then lose to the Rams. We need to show we can play with the big boys, and still beat the teams we should beat. 4-0 going into the bye, and then a win against the Chargers would have everyone talking.

they have a game vs the cardinals before the bye week. so they'd be 5-0 if they are undefeated into the bye.

If we beat Jacksonville decisively, Boomer will be trumpeting our praises from the rooftops.

They have to be 8-4 after 12 games to get any national attention. I think the Bills need to be in serious contention for a playoff spot late in the season, and not just being one of the bubble teams, but serious contention.

It doesn't matter. We're a small market team so unless we're like 8-0 we won't be getting a lot of media attention.

Detroit was 6-2 last season and nobody cared.

None the less. We HAVE to beat Jville. If they are touted as being in contention, we have to win this game to be a game up on them and have tie breaker. But if we can start 5-0, we should be on the first screen of power rankings.

And half wishfully homerism and half in the realm of possibility, they could go 14-2 with the chargers and Broncos being the toughest challenges. I think if the pats keep Cassell in there, they are toast.

My prediction though based on week one is 10-6

Same, anything more than that is gravy.

Well, a week ago I would have voted that we would need to be 15-0 before anybody noticed, but I'm already reading here and there that the national sportswriters have noticed...

If they go into the SD game at 4-1 (or 5-0 :)), and SD is decent, it could be the media's darling game of the week.

Would NBC be able to flex that early in the season to televise it?

To hell with national coverage, I'd rather sneak up on people.

NFL Total Access just showed Roscoe's return as the #1 play of the week. National?
