    Bills Brethren -- Please Embrace THE Tank

    We just played 2 games that arguably are our easiest games on our 16-game schedule.

    What did we do?

    We softly massaged the lowly NY Jets to a non-impressive win.

    We could not score against a no longer dominant Carolina Defence.

    Really?

    3-13 please!!!!

    I am not so sure that the Carolina D is no longer dominant. But I agree with the rest of your post.

    We should be 1-4 going into our Bye Week:

    (a) We play a very impressive Denver team at home next Sunday = LOSS

    (b) Then go to Atlanta who destroyed the Packers last night = LOSS

    (c) Then go to Cinci to face a shaky Bengals team however no shakier than the Panthers who we lost to = LOSS

    1-4 and the Bye Week is a logical time to switch to Peterman to see what we have in him and taking the season properly.

    3-13

    It is simply Logic/Math.

    I agree with much of what you said except cinci. They are way worse than Carolina and I fear we will win that and be 2 and 3 at the bye.

    another thing to keep in mind is that these are the bills.. which means one win against a team they have absolutely no business beating and one loss to a team they have no business losing to.
    I came.
    I saw.
    I conquered.

    Cinci has looked like crap NO doubt.

    I have faith the Bills will find a way to lose that game nonetheless.

    3-13.

    I wanna believe in 3 and 13 but I see too many wins. Jets, bengals, dolphins once and chargers. Luckily the NFC south is pretty stout as is the rest of the afc west other than LA

    The Cincy game is a tossup

    One more bloody time MF'er.

    There is a BIG difference between tanking in the NHL for 2 & 1/2 years for lottery picks and then drafting a 18 year old you may not see on the NHL team for 2-3 years AND tanking in the NFL for a lost year (The Bills are NOT a play-off team) for a non-lottery draft pick of a 21 or 22 year old who would be expected to contribute immediately to the NFL team.

    Do you understand that?

    As a sidenote, I am soooooo disappointed with the American Educational System.

    Full tank ahad. Hopefully we pick 2nd or 3rd.

    We also have The Chiefs 1st round pick so we could trade up a spot or two if we are drafting 3rd overall.

    Re: Bills Brethren -- Please Embrace THE Tank

    Embrace the tank, you say. Well, here is a scenario showing 100 Sherman tanks against 5 King Tiger tanks:



    Not that kind of tank, you say? Oh, then never mind.

    Re: Bills Brethren -- Please Embrace THE Tank

    I will NEVER embrace a tank, by the Bills or any other team. It is unethical, unsportsmanlike, and just plain bad for the game.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    Nothing rights a ship like a game against the Bills. Now as far as tanking... Seems odd to call it a tank with the #2 defense. Did the DC NOT get the memo?

    Spike doesn't really mean tanking. He just means try very hard and lose close week after week after week lol

    Re: Bills Brethren -- Please Embrace THE Tank

    Tanking implies that the Bills are deliberately losing games ....Bills are losing because they're just flat out bad

    Teams don't deliberately tank in the NFL.

    Got my first class ticket on the tank train!!! Let's do it and get the best possible draft we can hope for. And we had BETTER get a starter or significant contributor EVERY time we trade up.
