Re: Statement Game
for what?
if they miss the playoffs, youll be happy because you were right and the bills arent good.
if they make the playoffs and lose in the wild card round, people will be mad because we're keeping marrone next year, and the fans will think that with marrone at coach and orton at qb, we can't do anything more than luck into a wild card.
if they lose in the divisional round, people will be upset because we're a solid team that lucked into a wildcard round win, but doesnt have a high enough draft pick to get that missing piece to propel us to "truly elite," and we'll be stuck as a middling team forever.
if they lose in the afc championship game, people will be upset because we have too many veterans along the defensive line, and orton is too old to build around, so our ceiling will always be just below denver or new england, until luck and dalton take over the conference, and therefor the bills will never make the super bowl.
if we lose in the super bowl, people will be upset because we made it to the big dance based purely on luck of the draw, caught new england in a down year, and rode homefield advantage in the first round to an upset over the patriots, and chanced into 2 more lucky victories. they will say that the team as it is currently constructed can never win a super bowl, and the loss will set us back like the 90-93 losses did, by making us think there is more talent on the team than there actually is, and we will be perpetually stuck as runner ups.
if we win the super bowl, people will complain that we have no succession plan in place for orton, and that we dont have enough money to resign hughes, spiller, and all the free agents that will come due in the summer of 16. people will complain that the bills sacrificed long term success for a one-off championship just like the florida marlins, and now we're going to have to suffer for another 14 years, so enjoy it for 20 minutes (while it lasts) because the future of the bills is dark.
honestly--it's come to this.
when the bills can be at (almost) the halfway point of the year, a game back from a first round bye, and people are saying things like
"slim playoff hopes"
and
"check back in january"
what's the point of discussing them on here.
I'm enjoying this season IMMENSELY. yet every time i come online, i find myself trying to fugure out whats wrong with my head for thinking its fun to watch the bills in 2014.
at 4-3, with the division and a bye in play, i've realized: nothing is wrong with me.
i'm watching a game.
the bills are playing well.
it's fun.
you guys are idiots.
it's as simple as that.
