We need a moratorium on playoff talk

[OpIv37]

Right now, this team is not playing like a playoff team. They have a long way to go. People are talking about the playoffs because it's a mathematical possibility without really thinking of the probability, which is very low as it stands right now.

If we beat Jacksonville, stay over .500 and avoid that 5th conference loss, I will stop complaining about the playoff talk.

As it stands now, it's still hopelessly optimistic to be discussing playoffs. We've already been over the scenarios and there's nothing left to discuss.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

Playoffs?! Did you say PLAYOFFS?!!

PLAYOFFS?!!

You stop the too negative talk / we'll stop the too positive talk & we'll meet in the middle.

I'm not being negative. We got beat 56-10 last night and today people are talking about playoffs.

If we lose to Jax, it's over for all practical purposes. So, let's worry about them, and if we win, then we can talk playoffs.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

It's been 8 years. Far too long.

As long as there's a chance, we're going to push for it, whether you like it or not.

Amen...we're not going anywhere this year

[Oaf]

How dare we pine for something we've waiting 8 years for while it's still possible. Hey guys, lets change subject and talk about the QB situation in Buffalo!

There ya go Op. I feel just like the guy at the very end of the clip.

[Historian]

NO!

We need MORE playoff talk!!

We need to send these guys our emails of support!!!

They CAN do it, with hard work and FOCUS!!!

Go Bills!!!

[Night Train]

Let's just take it one week at a time, like this coming Sunday against the favored Jags.

I'd be surprised if we won, since the Jags have really started to gel and look like the 2nd-3rd best team in the AFC.

Whatever you say, Wade.

If you don't want to discuss the playoffs then don't.

Others can feel free to discuss the playoffs at any time - it's their right.

[mybills]

You're all correct.

The Bills are a hot & cold team.

[OpIv37]

It's ignorant and hopelessly optimistic, especially with Denver winning last night.

It takes an embarrassingly ridiculous level of denying reality to be talking about playoffs less than 24 hours removed from a 56-10 loss.

[DraftBoy]

I think we are a playoff caliber team in 2010

[HHURRICANE]

I'm kind of with OP on this one for two reasons.

1) WE AREN"T MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

2) WE AREN"T MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

The Bills are not a very good football team which was made abundantly clear after the last 2 weeks.

This board is classic at perpetuating the unrealistic. There is a big difference between possible and probable.

[User Manuel]

Are
Jacksonville
Cleveland
Tennessee
or
Houston
really playoff teams?

That is our competition. It seems like a whole lot of the same to me.

There is a difference between being merely a playoff team and a contender. This team could make the playoffs and be a very nice sacrificial lamb for someone like Pittsburgh or San Diego.

I am staying positive.

THAT's staying positive?

[User Manuel]

THAT's staying positive?

Its all relative. saying this team could make the playoffs isn't denial it is a distinct possibility.

It is more of an indictment of the mediocrity of the NFL outside of New England.

Lets enjoy the ride and hopefully the wins. It has been far too long.

all I'm saying is that we're driving a Pontiac G6. It's got a V6 and some features and can be a fun ride, but let's not pull up to the red light and rev the engines next to the Porsches or even the Acura TL's or the Mustangs and pretend we can beat them off the line.

[BlackMetalNinja]

I find it hilarious that Op gets all mad when people tell him to stop being negative, that he has a right to vent and share his opinion....

Then he tells others to stop talking about the playoffs.
