1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
did I see that stat right? It seems like it's been that long, but that's crazy if true.
Re: 1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
Yeah. Eleven straight prime-time losses before tonight.
Re: 1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
And it will be lost in history.

Yeah, I think the last one that they came close to winning was the Pats game they blew on MNF. Don't think they've been on since.

Primetime team baby, highest ratings ratings on a Thursday night game ever at the end.

if true, everyone got to see a horrible game
Re: 1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
I remember that 2001 game...Rob Johnson rallied the troops with a 2 minute drill and some throws to a one Larry Centers and got the team in position to kick the game winning field goal. Mark Brunell was picked by Tavarse Tillman at the end of the game...One of our 3 wins that year and only win by RJ. AVP got the other two versus Carolina and NYJets at the Meadowlands.

Nicely done.
Re: 1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
i'm kind of stunned we played 11 primetime games since 2001 to be honest.
i remember the dallas game, the handful of pats games, and that's about it. i thought the last win was the payback season openner against the titans.

Don't forget the Browns game where Trent Edwards threw 3 picks in the first half, then we came all the way back to lose on a last second field goal! Also the game against Miami in 2003 where we lost because they called a redzone half back pass with Travis Henry that was picked off.

How did such a positive topic turn so quick? I'm sick to my stomach remembering those primetime losses.

12 years of sucking. If you want to discuss the team, there is only enough positive to keep you going for a couple of minutes. After that, the topic has to change or else the negative will start coming out.
Re: 1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
you want positive? i am know standing firm in my belief that hte bills are now the 2008 giants. lost to the pats in a game that was surprisingly close. now the bills go on a tear.
Who is with me?

*sigh* i hate to admit it, but thats where i am too... i believe 9 wins will get us in the playoffs... thats 5 more with games against St Luis, Indy, Jax, Sea, Miami, and the Jets, that means going 4-2... i think its highly unlikely but completely plausible
Re: 1st win in Prime Time since 2001...
normally after a season as pathetic as this, i would be all for tanking so that we are truly exposed as what we are. but with the afc east so bad, and us pretty much putting the nail in the dolphin's coffin, its between the pats who are very vulnerable if they weren't gifted two divisional games and the jets who are in full on meltdown.
so that means, we can get that wildcard spot if we keep winning.
and with the draft class so weak, whoever we want should be available to us because qb's are dropping. maybe that works in our favor. who knows.
last year was the year to tank. this year is the year to hope you get hot at the end and go on a magical run.
