    What this win means

    With another win over a lousy team, the Bills have sucked us back into having that small amount of hope that they can put it together and make a run to the playoffs only to be dealt another crushing blow in the next important game. It's hard to get excited about this team again only to be let down again.

    They said the same thng about the Giants last season. If we can starting hanging 30 + points on our opponents a game, we are going to win most of them.

    If the Bills were playing the Kansas City Chiefs and their ilk all year then yes, hanging 30+ points is no problem and the wins should be plentiful.

    That being said, the Bills have three divisional games left and can at least have a say in who wins the division.

    Trent needs to watch more film on the many looks a defense will give him. If he can memorize a lot more than just one ones he's "familiar" with, he'll do better in the stretch. KC happens to use a "familiar" defense, so Trent was/looked amazing. Let's see what he does against the "unfamiliar" defense of MIA, Jets & NE the second time around, now that he's a little more familiar with them.

    Re: What this win means

    So we shouldn't get excited over a win? That's just downright boring and conservative.

    Hmmm... that sounds like the man so many of you hate. Dick.

    I think we're all excited about the win, but I'm prepared for what Billsburgh described. It's usually the way it goes.

    ...and a part of life for most sports fans. Some try to block it out and ban their team, some cry and pout, some *****, and some just deal with it and move on to next week.

    I say take the highs while you can and move on.

    Re: What this win means

    It just sucks that our highs can only come from knocking off teams with losing records, teams in turmoil about to fire their coaches, etc. Someday it would be nice if our team could roll with the big boys.

    Re: What this win means

    Or make big plays against big teams when they count.

    Oh well, at least we are still going along with the plan I set out before the Browns game. That is, lose the heartbreaker, win KC, SF, and Fins, lose to the Jets and head against Denver and NE at 8-6.

    Re: What this win means

    I'll enjoy the ride until we face the next 3-4 defense on our schedule. We just can't prepare to face those defenses. That's where the wheels come off...

    Re: What this win means

    This win means the Bills aren't one of the NFL's bottom feeders. Obviously, I'm happy they won the game (it was about time), but it was against a bad team. At least they performed better -- on the road -- than they did against the Browns (another bad team) at home.

San Fran is crap, but their defensive scheme gives us fits. We gameplan for the 3-4, hopefully have some success against a mediocre team and then take the positives from that and build on it for the Miami game. If we're going to make one final push for the playoffs, we'll have to run the gauntlet facing those extra linebackers...

    Re: What this win means

    I can understand where everyone is coming from. Only the bills are the ones who could make 4 straight sb's and not win one of them. I forgot the nos. but how many team started off 5-0 and missed the playoffs?

    If we're not the only one I'm not surprised we are going to be one of the few that does . Heartache is part of being a bills fan. This is why we are the greatest fans in the NFL. We still come back for more.
