Did any of us expect us to be 3-1?

10-03-2011, 09:35 AM

So, I was pissed as hell too about yesterday's loss, I also thought the refs really gave the game away, and how we played like chit, etc etc.

Nonetheless, we have far far exceeded my expectations for the season thus far.

I thought we would be at most 2-2 at this point, and I was going to be encouraged if we were 3-3 going into the bye week. It may still happen that way, and I would still be okay with the progress.

At this point, having beaten the Patriots was well worth the stupid loss to the Bungles. I can live with that.

If we learn from this loss and keep up our intensity, we could still very well make the playoffs.

I didn't expect us to be 3-1. I expected us to be 4-0

I don't think it was hard to think this team would be 3-1 after four weeks. I hope that isn't making you excited, they are about to play a huge stretch of this schedule. This team can easily be 3-4 after the next four weeks.

Re: Did any of us expect us to be 3-1?

I'm somewhat surprised, however, I'm very surprised the game we lost was the Cincinnati game. That was a "should win" game as I looked at the season.

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: Did any of us expect us to be 3-1?

As stated above, I did have us at 3-1, but not with a loss to the Bungles. Of course, I am,on pace for my 18-1 season prediction...

Bye Bye Brady...

I have us 3-1 in the Official BZ Predictions, but I have the Pats' and Bungles' results switched.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Ditto

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.

I'll have to dig out the thread, but I believe I also have the Bills losing the next 2 games. Not sure though.

I had hoped we'd be 3 - 1, but I don't think I really expected it, more like 2 - 2.

Re: Did any of us expect us to be 3-1?

This is why it's difficult to keep things in perspective after a loss like this.

A month ago, if someone said that we'd be 3-1 with a win over the Patriots at this point in the season, most of us would have said it was nuts. So from that standpoint, we are exceeding expectations.

That being said, beating the Patriots is no excuse for looking like **** against the Bengals and losing what should have been a winnable game.

The reality is that we're not as good as we looked against the Patriots and not as bad as we looked against the Bengals. There is still a lot of football to be played, and the truth is somewhere in the middle. Exactly what that means is hard to say at this point. I could see this team pulling it together and sneaking in as a wild card, or I could see an epic choke job like '02, '05 and '08.

I was thinking 2-2 at best based on the preseason. Which I knew better than to do but did anyway. No idea now though. The Bengals loss worries me. Huge game this week.
