    I hate the "Who have they Played" thing

    Now I feel bad for doing it to other teams. Sorry guys.


    But seriously, WTF are we supposed to do?

    They put us against 4 teams and we beat all 4. And I’m pretty sure that 2 of those teams will make the playoffs this year (Jax and Seattle).

    God it’s so annoying.
    Resign our own guys!

      I agree. I used to say it all the time and now it's being spun on me. I believe that is some form of karma.

        why because he's happy that we're 4-0? Because he takes all NFL level talent seriously? Or is it because his world isn't rainclouds and doom when the Bills are at the top of the AFC?

            Check out the combined records of the teams that these guys have beat.

            Giants ranked 1 in most power polls - 3-9 (St. Louis and Cincy)
            Dallas – 5-7
            Wash – 7-5 (The only one over .500 based on the Dallas win)
            Tenn – 3-12
            Denver - 5-7



            And Cleveland has lost to teams totaling 8-3
            Cincy – 10-4
            Oakland – 9-3


            So maybe, the teams that have good records have played teams with bad records because they beat them? And maybe the bad teams have played against teams with good records because they lose to them?

            This is high tech math stuff here, but it may just be true! I’ll keep you all posted.

                We are supposed to apologize after each win.
                Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

                  those teams we beat have bad records, because we beat them. Those teams lost games.

                  i'll buy the record debate later in the season when more data is in there. but for now, if you played 4 games and lost 1 game. you lost 25% of your games. there isn't a curve yet. there are teams who have losing records and teams with winning records. later in the season there will be some nuiance and you can make this argument. for now, it just makes no sense

                    schedules are like stats...they can get you to the street, but not the actual house number.
                    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

                        One thing that bothers me is the injuries also people talk about, Seattle without 2 WR's and the Jags losing 2 lineman.

                        The Bills were without Angelo Crowell who decided to get surgery when we start preparing for Seattle and Jason Peters who decides not to come to Buffalo until the 2nd week of the season.

                        Last year these guys could arguably be called our best offensive and defensive players.

                        Now if we beat Arizona we will hear Boldin is out, but I bet we don't hear how McGee is out.

                          I get a kick out of people listing the good teams in the AFC and will list Jacksonville but then say Buffalo is 4-0 but have beaten up on teams like Oakland and St Louis.

                            I think it is the best thing because we use to be one of those teams.

                              Oakland – 9-3


                              So maybe, the teams that have good records have played teams with bad records because they beat them? And maybe the bad teams have played against teams with good records because they lose to them?

                              Well said Patrick. Some of us here realize this, unfortunately... a lot don't.
