CentralVaBills Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 We win, and continue to play a poor schedule coming up. AND.... Baltimore loses. Denver loses. Jax loses. But damn, the Chargers escape in KC. The Jets also win in Arizona but that was to be expected. BUT, you have to LOVE Denver losing at home to Oakland. THose are precisely the things that we need to happen. Now let's look after next week....... Baltimore wins at home vs. Cincy Denver LOSES at SD Jacksonville loses vs. Pittsburgh NY Jets wins at home vs. Houston Then you have...... Pittsburgh New England Indy San Diego Wild Cards NY Jets 9-3 Baltimore 8-4 Denver 7-5 JAX 6-6 Buffalo 6-6 Baltimore still is AT PITT and AT INDY. Denver is still at KC, and at IND, and AT Tenn. You never know! JAX will be a non-factor. Not likely. But if the Bills can get to 9-6, it will be interesting to see which teams "choke" their way back to us!
CentralVaBills Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 I say Houston beats the Jets next week 136948[/snapback] I hope so. If Brooks Bollinger is their QB, I say maybe! Let's hope! We need an unnecessary slip by the Jets.
CosmicBills Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Is a SD win really that bad? It doesn't matter so long as Denver keeps losing right? I mean, someone in the West has to win the division, had SD lost to KC it may have allowed KC to creep back into the wildcard hunt, giving the Bills another team to worry about. Instead, SD took a big step towards securing the West. Let 'em have it. Or am I missing something?

Before the game though, I actually thought that SD might fall back to the pack, because their schedule is brutal too, but their win today at KC hurt that chance. SD has Denver, AT INDY, AT Cleveland, KC.......I thought they'd lose today and AT Indy, then we'd only need one more. But now, they win, and it's Denver who might come back to us! WOOHOO. We REALLY need SD to win next week.

Simon Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 The problem isn't SD or Denver. The problem is that we're 3 games back of both Baltimore and the Jets with only 4 to play.

CentralVaBills Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 The problem isn't SD or Denver.The problem is that we're 3 games back of both Baltimore and the Jets with only 4 to play. 136974[/snapback] Two things that will let us make the playoffs. Bills win out. Long Shot. And the schedule. Baltimore has no chance of winning AT INDY or AT PITT. The schedule for ALL of the WC contenders is BRUTAL! Like I said, if the Bills can take care of business, it will interesting to see which teams "choke" their way back to us. 3 of them starting today! It will continue to happen every week. The schedule is BRUTAL for all of them.

CosmicBills Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 If the Bills finish 9-7 or 10-6 I won't care much if they don't make the playoffs. To have a winning season after starting 0-4 will be reward enough (for this year) and set things on the right track for 05.
Simon Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Don't we have 5 games left? 136977[/snapback] Whoops. You're right. I was just looking at the totalgamesplayed in the standings posted above w/o realizing that they were a projection fpr next week. That's still an awfully long climb in which we have to leapfrog several teams. Whatever may happen, we shall continue with style....... Cya
YOOOOOO Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 The problem isn't SD or Denver.The problem is that we're 3 games back of both Baltimore and the Jets with only 4 to play. 136974[/snapback] Actually 5 to play.... Like said before the Jets/Jags will definately be 9-7 or worse.... Denver with this lose to Oakland and pssobily fall to 9-7 now... Baltimore will likely go 10-6(unless NYG or CIN can beat dem too) Bills beat MIA, CLE, CIN, SF then I believe the Pitt game will be for the playoff 6th spot....Hopefully Pitt will have clinched there bye and playoff spot by then....
CentralVaBills Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 Dont forget Baltimore plays the Jets. Someone loses there 136981[/snapback] No Baltimore already beat the Jets in OT! Actually, we would be in even better shape had the Jets won that game.

We REALLY need SD to win next week. 136969[/snapback] Plus if SD lost today in KC...We wouldnt have to root for one side next week...We would just have to root against the team that lost...Now SD has got to win next...

I hope PIttsburgh HAS to win that game for homefield. I want that. That will be playoff atmosphere. Since we wouldn't have a home playoff game IF it happens......I want Pittsburgh's best. And again......we match up well vs. Pittsburgh. They will not run on us. Big Ben will have to win it on the road, in bad weather. I like our chances!

Makes it tougher, but makes more games exciting!

Since we wouldn't have a home playoff game IF it happens......I want Pittsburgh's best. I live in Western Pennsyltucky so I'm definitely down for that. When we whip their fading asses I don't want to hear from the locals about how it was because they were resting people. Cya
