it's not about "wanting their help" so much as recognizing that for the Bills, there are quite a few "no lose" games coming up for the evil empire.
Either the evil empire wins and buries a potential Wild Card contender further, OR they lose a few and open up the division. It starts with the Jets next week.
Crazy? The Jets only have 4 losses. Their schedule softens up soon. I could easily see them getting to 9-7. the NE game is huge for them (and us). A NE win probably buries the Jets.
Jets (1-4)
NE
JAX
MIA
NYG
WAS
OAK
CIN
MIA
BAL
PIT
BUF
Then we get to Cleveland (2-4). Their next game is against the evil empire. A loss against NE likely buries CLE as well. But they will be desperate, so who knows. I could still easily see them winning 7 more, making them also 9-7. A win against NE puts the Browns right back in the conversation at 3-4, with all of those seemingly winnable games coming up for them.
NE
DEN
BUF
PIT

Then there is the evil empire themselves. Here is their remaining schedule:
Currently 6-0
NYJ
CLE
BAL
PHI
DAL
HOU
KC

BUF

They are actually going to play some more real teams soon. the Luke Falk/ Colt McCoy portion of their schedule is pretty much done.
Yes, I know. Their defense is better than the 85 Bears! Greatest of all time. Historic, in fact. LOL
Look, they are good; they are NE. But they are going to lose a few games coming up. Brady is not anywhere near the same, and that defense is vastly overrated because of who they have played. It's just the order of the schedule.
