I was hoping we’d make #18, but I suppose the 19th slot will suffice.

Injuries, injuries, injuries. What did you expect after starting 5-2 then basically losing your offensive line, Jackson and having Fitz ply through broken ribs.

You forgot to mention that in the first 7 games, the Bills opponents turned the ball over a crazy amount of times.

They were feeding off the turnovers and then it stopped.

The Bills fans need to be cautiously optimistic about 2012. Since the late 90s I have seen the bills fans have such high hopes before their seasons that they get so riled up at a 3-0 start and they start shouting playoffs/superbowl/4 superbowls in a row to anyone and everyone who shows negativity. Bills fans keep your team under the radar until week 12 or so. If they are 8-4 or better you have a legit shot at making the playoffs (baby steps) but dont ruin it like you have for the last 15 years by freaking out about how amazing your team is in july. With that said I think 19 is a lovely spot to start for the bills.

Please name one team that has “won the off-season” with big free agent signings, then became the sports media’s “preseason surprise team”, that actually lived up to expectaions. I can name many that failed miserably.

Usually all the great expectations end up being unrealistic pressure that leads to failure

Hater,
I could talk about how Dallas picked up Deon and went back to the big game. maybe, you are two young for that? or I could bring up the Bucks droping two number ones for Chucky. How about the simple, Indy stealing the Pats kicker and he is the difference in getting past New England.
the truth is if you do nothing your team will not improve. Name one team that made it to the Superbowl and I will name fifteen that did not.

The Bills have the tools to beat anyone in the league.

They just need to be able to fire on all cylinders, which they seem to have trouble doing.

As someone who hates the Jets and Pats, I hope they make some noise this season.

Bills will get the Wildcard this year. They may be one and done but even making the playoffs at this point would be a huge victory
