I ran the ESPN one 10 times now and the Bills get in once or twice at 10-7. They need a lot to go their way to make it at 10-7.

While true, they also play the Jets, Bears and Bengals. I can see them beating all 3 of those teams. Many here just assume since the Steelers and Browns have crappy QBs and crappy offenses they will just lost here on out. No one is taking into account their remaining schedules. Look out for Denver, ever since the Miami game their defense has come around and the offense is playing decent now.

I did the simulator a few times and they get in most times. It's due to their remaining schedule. They play some weak teams left and that defense will win them some games. Same goes for Cleveland. Both play the Bengals with no Burrow. It's going to come down to the last few weeks.

To be fair there is been posters here who say the same thing

It's also hard to win in this league. Either way if they don't 2 of the next 3 games seasons over. Even then it's going to be tough to make it at 10-7. That lose to the Pats is going to come back go haunt them.

That's the thing. As I said earlier, the NFL has no reason to change anything. It's the same for the NBA and the NHL. They are paid to manage the games and keep them as close as possible.

Agreed. The NHL and NBA are no different. The refs call the game to keep them the score as close as possible. It helps with parity and helps with TV numbers if games are close. It will never change as calling the game this way is what's best for the league.

He will also still lead in INTs.

Disagree. He's been playing great all season. He went his first 5 games without a INT and he's been carrying this team to wins. I also said if they make the playoffs he should win.

If any QB should be MVP, it should be CJ Stroud. He's carrying that team to a playoff spot so far. IMO if they make I can see him getting the MVP

Bolded is why I don't think Brady is going to change much. Also why I don't see them all of a sudden going on a run in the second half.

They have a winning record against teams below .500. I don't see that changing. IMO wild card is the only way and with 4 AFC losses already it's going to be tough. They lose this weekend it's done. I agree with what you said. I just don't see how so many are so sure they beat the Cowboys.

The Bills have Dallas, KC and Philly. It amazes me how everyone here has all these other teams losing to the top teams yet the Bills will beat those same teams.

They don't have a clear path. They need help to make it.

I do. I can also see them winning against the Cowboys but losing to the Chargers just as well. In the end it will even out. They will win a game they're not supposed to and lose one they are supposed to win. Being 5-5 at this point is going to cost them the playoffs.

If that continues they go 5-3 to end the season. What hurts the Bills is they already have 4 AFC losses. I have the Bills going 4-3 to finish the season with losses to Cowboys, Chiefs and Eagles. If they lose this weekend, start focusing on the draft and new coach hires. I don't see this team making it at all. They have regressed a lot since the 13 second game

Yes a lot of things are going to happen between now and January. You also have to take teams schedule into effect. Anything is possible is true but you can't dismiss other teams either.

I don't see them going 5-2 the rest of the way. I see 4-3 with losses to Cowboys, Chiefs and Eagles. I'm not sure that gets them in. They would need a lot of help.

While I agree with most of that, they also need to play to his strengths. He is and never has been that great at reading a defense. Meaning he's not like Manning and seeing what the defense has lined up and call an audible. What they should be doing is on top of the underneath stuff, add designed runs for him to open up downfield throws. Taking away his running is what made the offense so good

That shows he really isn't having as great a season you think he's having.

What's hurt Allen more than anything is taking away what made him so good. He was at his best when scrambling and making big plays. Making him take underneath stuff and make long drives is not where he excels. IMO the biggest problem is McDermott wanting to offense be one that chews clock so the defense stays off the field.

Allen is an elite athlete that plays QB. IMO he will never be the elite pocket QB they are trying to make him. He struggles reading the defense. Let him scramble and make plays. At least the offense scored when they were playing that way.

I don't think he will ever be that elite QB. For one he doesn't seem interested in leaning it. If he was interested, he would spend the off seasons studying. At this point this is who he is.

IMO it's not all play calling. IMO it's that Allen has regressed as a QB the last year and a half. It goes back to making him something he is not. He is not a pocket passer. He was at his best when we was scrambling and making throws off of that. He's never been good at reading the defense.

Season is over now. They will be lucky to win 9 games.
