If you don't include us (who you must think are terrible), the Patriots have only beat 1 team with a winning record, and that team is only 3-2-1 because of a stupid tie (the Bengals).
I might be wrong, but I think Green Bay has yet to beat a team with a winning record.
I'm not saying we are as good as those teams, but I'm saying that what you are saying is irrelevant.Last edited by BuffaloRedleg; 10-20-2014, 08:33 PM.

The Bills are 6th in the NFL in strength of victory.
Visit ESPN for the complete 2023 NFL season standings. Includes league, conference and division standings for regular season and playoffs.
So I guess they are not only beating crap teamshttp://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

The idea that you "won't settle" presumes that you have some kind of control. Delusional thinking at best for a supposed fan of a spectators' sport. Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

Good teams win when they play teams that are weakened by injuries.
The Pats* have done that for years.

It's football kid, people get injured all the time, and it's never an excuse.
The Lions beat the Saints with essentially the same roster. So thanks for playing bye.Last edited by BuffaloRedleg; 10-22-2014, 08:07 AM.

Nice of you to answer the question though. I realize that it's a toughie and I wouldn't want to see smoke coming out of your ears, so probably best you don't tax your grapenut sized brain on that one.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

I couldn't help but notice that you failed to mention the biggest one of the three, Calvin Johnson.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

I didn't question if Calvin is a difference maker because he is a difference maker, the two running backs are average players who were replaced by another average player
