    "The Bottom Line"

    NBF's latest "The Bottom Line", "How Sunday's results, affect the Bills" is out and he asks the question which victory or combination of victories benefits the Bills the most this Sunday.

    The relevant games are:

    Miami @ the Jets

    N.E. @ Chicago

    K.C. @ S.F.




    Thoughts?
    Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!

    Then let's go to Disneyworld!

    GO BILLS!!!

        Several people have said similar. But wouldn't you rather see us be able to beat teams at full strength and on the merits of outperformance considering that than simply beating up on backups?

        I know I get a lot more excited when we beat up teams at full strength and not w/ a bunch of second-stringers in there. It's a more meaningful victory. I know that when I play sports I always like to play against the oppositions best players.

            Yeah, that's right! I love it when we lose! I predicted 12-4 last year b/c I really wanted the Bills to be 0-16.

            I was really excited when we lost to N.E. I tried to offer some N.E. fans good cash for their paraphernalia, but none were biting!

            My loss!

            I can't wait to get crushed by the Chiefs! That'll be grand!

            Thanks for finally helping me come out of the closet cas!

            Thank you! I owe you big time!

            As a matter of fact, if we go 0-7 over our last 7, then I may double the amount of season tickets that I buy from 8 to 16. The only thing that I can hope for for Christmas is a Drew career-ending injury. That would really wrap up this season well for me.

              If Miami wins , they'll be 3-1 against the AFCE.

              On the other hand, if the Jet's win, they could get on a roll. The better scenario would see Miami winning and us beating them in a few weeks.

              KC will be the ugly game. If they win, they will be so cocky coming back home. However, if they lose, they will want redemption.

              The bottom line: Regardless of what happens Sunday, the Bills better be ready for anything.

                cas,

                P.S. How on earth did you draw the connection from the beginning of this thread to that?

                  I didn't. I was just saying that Sunday's outcomes do have an implication to the Bills, but their fate is in their own hands.

                    Injuries are part of the game. If a top contender can't compete with their key players in the second string at some time in the season then they don't belong in the playoffs either.

                    I do not wish for any player to get hurt, but if they are nick up a little, which again is part of the game, then I don't feel like it was a false win. After all that is football.

                    If Buffalo was the dominating team on both sides of the ball, then yes I would rather see a win playing the top players of our opponent. Seeing that we aren't that way this year a win anyway we can get it is fine with me.

                    There have been many teams in the past that thanks to an easy schedule or injuries, have gotten into the playoffs or just ended up with a winning season and they never complained about a shallow win, so why should we. Each win gives the rookies all the more confidence in their ability, which will be good for next year.

                    Also don't forget every win makes the price we played for Bledsoe cheaper.

                    GO!!!...BUFFALO!!!...

                      Well, 90% of your posts come after a loss. You fell off the planet when we had that 3 game winning streak.

                        I think more the reality is that you must not be coming on after we win.

                          DH,

                          I hear ya, but my point was that if all of our victories are against scrubs or teams that are all banged up, and they're all close games to boot, then it's less of an indicator of how good a team is than when it legitimately beats a team.

                          I mean look at what happens when teams have an easy route to get to the Super Bowl. They often get criticized as not belonging there. The Pats won last year vs. the Raiders on an officiating call. That's as big a part of the game as injuries. Yet that made many people, Bills fans in particular, criticize the win.

                          The counter to that is that it changed the outcome of the game. Well, so do injuries. No one can say that Miami has been the same team w/o Fiedler. So if Miami were to make the playoffs now on the merits of a good start to go 5-1 and yet only be 5-5 after that, wouldn't that have some meaning?

                          Just MO and some food for thought.

                            You predicted 12-4 after all the losses in the offseason last year?

                              I want to see the Jets beat Miami, just to knock them down a notch. KC is going to be fired up coming into the Bills game, because I predict the 9ers will hand them their asses on a red & gold platter...they could end up trying too hard against us because of that, and losing, so we still have a chance. As for the NE/Bears game, I'm not sure NE has come off cloud 9 yet, so they may end up with a "dismissing" frame of mind and lose this one.

                              What I can't wait to see happen, is Miami losing the next 2 in a row...that would make me a pretty happy camper!
                              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!
