Now obviously me saying this, I know that if we fail it doesn't change much, we're still big playoff contenders and could erase a manhandling by the Bills in the playoffs, but a win here could still be huge. Up to this point the games have been about fighting for the right to be considered competitors. What we're fighting for this week is the right to prove ourselves dominant. A class above the teams that laughed at us last year. A statement made here could echo throughout the league and let them know that not only are we back, we're back to stay, playing for keeps every year and every Sunday.
Not only that, but the Bills have got to show everyone what they've got. For us this is almost just another game, but for the Bills, if they lose they get demoted to fringe contenders after dominating the east all year. A huge kick in the pants for a team and fanbase that have been starved for glory for a very, very long time. It could be very damaging to morale on the shores of the St. Lawrence.
