Well that didn't quite work out.
I still believe we would be a team nobody would want to face in the playoffs, but that doesn't really matter now since we'll never know.
Another disappointing season effectively ended today. Here's looking forward to April even I will once again start to believe we have what it takes to win it all.

Bills 423, Eagles 267 = 690

Statistically speaking, over the last 25 years the Bills have made it to the Super Bowl 57% of the time after qualifying for the playoffs. That's basically a coin toss. Call the OP a crazy jackass if you must, but the numbers support him.
I appreciate the support!
And, some of these responses have been hilarious, so thanks for the laughs.
That said, and with a night to think this over... I'm even more confident in my prediction and buy-in.
Super Bowl here we come!

Ya winning in cinci, Denver and new England shouldn't be a problem at all...
Glad we're on the same page!

If we make it to the playoffs, we'll make it to the Super Bowl.
The only reason playoffs are in doubt is because we do not control other teams' performances. But, make no mistake, we will win out.
Why do I believe this?
The defense is slowly but surely getting Rex's scheme, terminology, assignments ,etc. It has taken time, but this group should be clicking the rest of the year, even with the injuries factoring in. The performance against NE*, sacks against Houston, and holding a receiver like Hopkins to a below average day are just some of the signs of where this defense is headed.
What about the offense? Well, they've already been pretty decent all year. The X factor now though is that TT is really stepping up, and is exactly what this team needs. Telling Hughes to get his head in the game after KC, making sure Carpenter was supported, and my favorite, telling, no yelling at, a veteran to hurry up and get on the line are just a few examples of the leadership characteristic TT has to offer. His play on the field has been better than anyone expected. Now, he's about to take that next step and nobody will mistake the Bills for anything other than Tyrod Taylor's team.
It's about to get fun ladies and gemtlemen. Enjoy the ride.

it's because there's little time left to the season that alot of injuries won't be healed in time to make it back by the end of the year. You might as well put the player on IR and bring in someone you can take a look at and help instead of wasting a roster spot on someone who won't be able to play the rest of the season.
Also with it being near the end of the yeT and teams still in the hunt with banged up players already, lots of teams need a body to play now and take snaps while others are banged up so they go with IR so they can bring someone else in. Usually on the last few weeks, most role player guys have to either play hurt or go on IR if they get banged up cause teams don't have the space to hold them if they aren't going to be on the field.
but you don't know if Spikes can contribute without knowing the defence. If this was the same defence as last year then yes he could step in and probably contribute,but with Rex's defence it doesn't appear to be easy enough that they can just get anyone and plug them in and contribute. And if they won't change and adjust the defence to suit their own players who are having trouble or issues with it, why would they change and adjust it for a guy who's been on the couch all season who they could have had earlier on their roster learning it? Obviously the front office or coaching staff aren't as big on Spikes as the fans are
Agreed. This was the point. Whether someone is in a position to where they could contribute or not, they are not even going to get a look unless they have previous experience with a Rex Ryan defense.
-
I would love to see Spikes back. However, if Rex's defense is as complex as reported, and confirmed by ex players, we likely are not getting anyone who hasn't been exposed to it before. This means we are limited to practice squad guys, guys we had in camp, or Rex's former players.
This means a guy like Tarpley, who has been nothing but horrible so far, is in, and a guy like Spikes who can likely still contribute at least at a decent level, stays at home on the couch.

271 passing + 237 punting = 508

You would think Jets fans would love IK. A 5-4 team with Fitz is 3-6 at best with Geno starting.
-
Do we want ball first?
-
I wonder how much Rex being familiar with many of these players at the next level plays in. Sure, all coaches have tape to watch, but you would think after coaching them he may know things like if a DT has a slow first step one way or another or if a certain LB struggles with dropping in coverage on the weak side. Small weaknesses, perhaps even that he schemed to cover up when there, may become opportunities when coaching from the other side of the field.

Fans have been saying this for the last 12 months. Nice to see Sammy say it's since he actually has a voice with the team. Hopefully they listen.
-
I think I won!
McCoy up the middle for four!
-
Shady up the middle for 4
24 first downs
Side note: I would like to see us run pitch plays more often with Shady
-
PERFECT pass

Something with a lot of rum in it.
Was in Ocho Rios about a month ago. Lots of rum was more mandatory than optional haha.

Thank you holding!

Home Brew Pale Ale to start, then Fat Tire.
Defense!
Homebrew! Always a good way to start!
-
Do we want to see offense or defense first?
Defense and a three and out to set the tone.

If you are near, There's a bar in Divide, CO where the manager is from Buffalo. They have wings and fish fry.
Nice! I'm in Fort Collins, but get down to Colorado Springs a couple times a year. It'd be worth the extra drive out to Divide. What's the name of the bar?
Wearing my Manuel jersey but I'm on the Tyrod train. Let's go boys!!!!

Superbowl picks on CBS pregame show. Someone picked Seattle and Buffalo, didn't see who it was though.

Genny Light. Wanted to get the new Southern Tier OneBuffalo but hasn't made it to Rochester yet.
Genny is my normal beer for gameday.
I always try to get a Genny when I'm back that way, simply for nastolgic reasons! I'm in Colorado now and can't find it here, so have to take advantage when possible. There are some craft breweries making some good cream ales these days though.
Playoff Machine is up. Have fun

So I'm thinking the Johnny Manziel era is starting exactly at the right time, as he brings a little late season magic to that team.
Our path to the playoffs is still quite easy, even if it is unlikely. If nothing else, a loss by Pittsburgh to the Broncos next weeks keeps us one game and an exciting week 17 away from the playoffs.
Pittsburgh loses to Denver week 15
Bills win week 15 and 16
Jets lose to Patriots (as they should)
If these three scenarios happen, we are playing Jets week 17 with playoffs on the line, rooting for Johnny to upset the Steelers, and we're in!
