lol, truer words have never been spoken. Poor guy I was sitting next to at the bar was a Chiefs fan, he was hoping that we scored atleast 60 points on them so Herm would get canned!! AHAHAHA!!

No need to get excited we are what we are

We batter the 49ers. Some people get over-excited. We then finish the season 1-3 and end up with an 8-8 season.

it's called "realism", not "pessimism."

The truth is we can only play the teams on the schedule, and today we got a team that was in complete disarray. We beat the crap out of them, but this team has yet to beat anyone with a winning record. And 4 of our remaining 5 games are against teams with winning records. This win is more of the same for the Bills. So, go ahead and enjoy an almost- record point total for the moment- just don't get your hopes up and think it puts us back in playoff position.

Who's a pessimist?

For most of the year I've been saying the Bills will make the playoffs, but the combination of the last 4 weeks and the poor defensive showing today means that I see more evidence of an 8-8 team golfing in January than a 10-6 team sneaking into the playoffs.

Which can't apply to someone who for most of the season believed that the Bills would make the playoffs.

Weighing up the evidence and deciding that we're not quite good enough to make the playoffs is different than saying "Oh no everybody's awful, the Bills suck!"

.. We were also a team in complete dissaray coming into this game.

Re: so we beat a team in dissarray

I don't imagine anyone is such a fool as to think we're on our way to the Super Bowl, but when you lose four games in a row, it starts wear on the minds of players and coaches alike. The value of even beating even a team in disarray is it is a win, and it can break the pattern of little mental things that players may subconsciously do to themselves that tend to perpetuate the losing. I think the odds are that the Bills will be able to play a little better next week than they would have had they lost today.
