nfreeman Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 During the drought, the Bills have lost the kind of game they have tonight -- i.e. one where they have a chance to make a statement and put themselves into good position in the standings -- 100% of the time. I don't believe yet, but I want to.

It was mentioned up thread that the last 2 times the playoff drought Bills were 5-2 they lost to the Jets for game 8 both times. If they can win tonight it will be a big step towards getting the monkey off our back. THE MONKEY IS A LIE. The current regime recognizes no previous success or failure. Only the now, and the now is success. Go BIlls! Edited November 2, 2017 by Doohickie

Doohickie Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 But there's no doubt in McDermott's mind: This is a playoff team, as long as they follow the process.

I don't believe yet, but I want to. I understand the feeling behind this. I've given up on being overly fatalistic -- am I in or am I out thinking -- about what the Bills are or aren't going to do. I'll be into it, but with a slight remove throughout the game. It's a trick I've developed. I find that it limits how pumped up I can get when they win -- how things went down with the Bucs, and how I responded, is an excellent example. This is a survival technique. I'm not sure what I'm apt to do if they end up playing a truly meaningful game in December or January. On 11/2/2017 at 8:14 PM, WildCard said: Benjamin is in tonight That's fun.

WildCard Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Posted November 2, 2017 Might wanna pump the brakes. Source is iffy, and Schefty only reported he would bet he does play. So I would say he does, but there is nothing official yet Sorry about that
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 So I picked them in my suicide pool.... So sorry for the loss guys

Don't know if it matters much, he knows his coach, maybe already knows a few plays they can put him out there for. Whatever happens, they need to run the ball against this team.

My prediction is that he will be targeted in the first drive once or twice. If it works they'll continue, if not he'll be a decoy for the rest of the night, drawing defensive coverage away from the other receivers. Remember, McDermott knows Benjamin, so I'm sure he'll be able to bring him up to speed on some plays that involve routes he's already familiar with.

I've really enjoyed watching him this year. The progression that started with that first long scramble against Cincy in week two to now has been incredible.
