The Wiz Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 As we await news on where and when our next game will be ...here is an interesting article from Lunardi on what constitutes a bad loss. We even get a shout out in the article. I think the take away for Bills fans is the difference between a bad loss and what I would call a painful loss. A painful loss is one you should have won. A painful loss though isn't necessarily a bad loss. Leading in the final minutes of a game only to watch it slip away is painful. But our losses were not to bad teams. A computer can do one thing a Bills fan can't do....take the emotion out of the wins and losses....which is why Lunardi and I are both more optimistic than some Bills fans are. One last thing...I am not a big fan of the NET...it is a tool...(yes ..a double meaning) . But if you want to use it in the best way possible, you have to think like a selection committee member. Instead of looking at The Bills NET rating...look at The Bills opponent's NET rating for a better idea of what goes into the Committee's selection process. www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/32965626/bracketology-new-year-resolution-redefine-bad-losses CBFan and Bills By 40 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilliesBy40 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Painful loss is also a blown opportunity for a good win. Our problem right now is a lack of good wins, not bad losses. Hopefully we can add another good win tomorrow. It is a great opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
