    No one is giving us a chance

    No one thinks we can beat the Packers this weekend. The spread is set at 6.5 points for the Pack.

    So we're playing at Lambeau Field.
    So the Packers are 34-0 at Lambeau when the temp is below 34 degrees.
    So they have a 11-3 record.
    So they have Brett Favre.
    So it's our #17 defense against their #3 offense.

    But we have an all-time record of 6-2 over the Packers.
    But we have Bledsoe, another Pro Bowl QB.
    But we are also a cold weather team.
    But we are playing for our playoff lives.
    But it's our #7 offense against their #11 defense.
    But their 11-3 record comes from playing in a super weak division. And we also beat all the NFC North teams they did.

    Let's look at how they are so high and mighty with 11-3.

    Green Bay's record:

    Atlanta W
    @New Orleans L
    @Detroit W
    Carolina W
    @Chicago W
    @New England W
    Washington W
    Miami W
    Detroit W
    @Minnesota L
    @Tampa Bay L
    Chicago W
    Minnesota W
    @San Francisco W

    Buffalo's record:

    N.Y. Jets L
    @Minnesota W
    @Denver L
    Chicago W
    Oakland L
    @Houston W
    @Miami W
    Detroit W
    New England L
    @Kansas City L
    @N.Y. Jets L
    Miami W
    @New England L
    San Diego W

    Green Bay had the luxury of playing 8 times against teams with losing records (Detriot x2, Minn x2, Chicago x2, Carolina, Washington) and they are 7-1 against them.

    Buffalo has played only 4 games against teams with losing records (Det, Minn, Chi, and Houston), and we are 4-0 against them. If you were to substitute the extra 4 games against losing teams in Buffalo's schedule, theoretically we could also be 11-3 instead of 7-7.

    We have won more games against teams with winning records (Miami x2 and SD) than they do (Atlanta, SF). We have never lost to a team with a losing record, they did (MIN).

    So why isn't anyone giving us a chance this weekend? I think we could win this game!

    GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      LA needs a football team so that I can watch a Bills game live.

        They beat NE as well on the road so they have 3 wins against teams with winning records, same as Buffalo.

          If you go by yardage given up. ,............IF you go by points given up we are 30th and if you go by turnovers forced we are dead last!


          Ranking D's by yards given up is a totally misleading stat!

                34-0 at Lambeau when the temp is below 34 degrees?

                I'd have to say they're long due to lose in that scenario.

                  It's not like the Bills haven't played a game in cold weather

                      I'm looking forward to it. I think someone else has posted some stats of Green Bay against AFC opponents at Lambeau in the past 5 years. They were mostly close games. This, hopefully, will be another one but to our favor.

                        A win over the Pack would be an awesome way to end the season. Sure we’d have another game against the Bungles, but even if we missed the playoffs, this would be a great win going into next season.

                          if we go 9-7 I win a bet against my Brothers-in-law! It's only a dollar but hey it is the whole point that they said the Bills wouldn't even be at .500 at the end of the season! So GO BILLS! If Price wants to be recognized he better have the game of the season. Other wise he will get the reputation of a whiney crybaby ... oh wait ... to late

                            Even if we lose to the Pack, the Cincy game is almost a sure win. You'd still win the bet cuz we'd be 8-8.

                              Depends on how well our D plays i suppose, and whether we run or shoot...and how Drew performs...and whether or not we can pressure Farve...and how well we can stop the run...and how our special teams perform....and so on and so on...
