    If the Bills are for real...

    ...They NEED this game.

    A win against Cincinnati would make them 3-0 in the Conference, and 1-0 against the division.

    Essentially, the games against the Giants, Eagles and Skins are meaningful only in the W-L column.

    In order to seriously compete for a WC spot or a Div title, they need to have Div and Conf tiebreakers.

    A win would go a long way to us having that edge.

    Re: If the Bills are for real...

    I agree completely. Winning divisional and conference games are huge. They would be 4-0 in conference with a win against Bengals though.
    A big difference I see in myself in this team is I am now going into each game thinking we have a chance to win. That has not happened since the Kelly era.

      Its been a nice ride so far, but i will not be 100% convinced we are a serious playoff threat until we are sitting at 5-0. After we have secured wins against the raiders pats and eagles no one can doubt our legitimacy.

        Re: If the Bills are for real...

        I feel like we need to win yes. I also am concerned about how they are winning. I would like to see them have better 1st half's and play a complete game or 2. The comebacks are nice but I don't think you can do that all year long. Would be nice to break that pattern of the last couple weeks and get out to good start and dominate the entire game.

          I don't think this group is reading their press clippings, since people are still asking " how are they doing it ? " (citing the fact most aren't high picks or stars ).

          If they did lose, it would due to turnovers or something in that vein. Not because they're going through the motions, believing they're better than they are.

          Still, Gailey seems like the right coach to keep them on their toes.

          Go Bills !

            Yes these are the type of games that contenders win... Although Cincy's D could keep us in check some, I just don't believe Cincy's O should rack up many points. Our O should be able to put up some points therefore we should win this game

              I expect the Bills to put up some points in this game while the Bills defense gets after Dalton. I don't expect a blowout like KC, but a SOLID WIN.

                A guy I work with was kind of indignant that we were only favored by 3.

                I told him I could not remember the last time the Bills were road favorites.

                  4-0 in conf

                  1-0 in div

                  its a huge game being 4-0 this early would give us an edge at the end

                    I won't believe they will the game until they spot Cincy 21 points.

                      Seriously though, I hope this isn't a trap game. I hope they don't get caught up thinking about Philly next week and lose their heads in this game.

                      Besides, my wife is a Bengals fan and to lose to them would be bad for the dynamics of the house.

                        If we are who we think we are, we will completely destroyed Cincy.

                          Going 3-1 does not concern me. Its going 3-2 that I would be worried about. At 3-1 you are still a good football team, and still close to the top of the division and conference. At 3-2 you are average.
                          True fans want wins, not draft picks.

                            Yes... Division and conference games are huge in tiebreaker situations. But I'm thinking that all the NFC East games are almost equally important due to the "common opponent" tiebreaker... Hell, that puts double emphasis on the AFC West games.

                            Are there any games that don't have potential tie breaker implications?
