maddog Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I actually think last nights loss really hurts Denver. Look at their schedule. Three road games plus a home game against Indy. 9-7 is a real possibility now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch19079 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 9-7 is most likly. we have the second easiest remaining schedual in the NFL. i dont think we can beat the stealers, but they should already be in the playoffs, and might be resting people. imagin what our record would be if we didnt loose to the jags or raiders????

Dante Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 My thoughts exactly, those two games are going to haunt us for the rest of the year. 137236[/snapback] Personally the playoffs this year do not mean too much to me as far as the Bills team is concerned. I cant wait until next season with the way this defence is progressing and of course the way Magehee is coming along. Things are coming online exactly the I had hoped they would. Gradual positve progression as everyone gets used to the new coaching staff and schemes they install. Overall, im feeling pretty good about the Bills especially for next season.

gantrules Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I think you are going to see a total meltdown from Denver. They will finish 8-8. Jets will get in at 10-6. Bmore will finish 9-7, Jax will finish 9-7, Cincy 7-9.... and we'll finish.......10-6. Let's hope that last game of the season ends up meaningless b/c Pitt is the only team left that I'm concerned with. We'd more than likely end up playing in SD or Indy....of which I'd prefer SD. I can't believe I'm talking about this when we are still two games back from even being in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxboro Mike Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Congrats on another strong performance yesterday. Somewhere, a guy who once used the nickname "McGahee's ACL" weeps. If this Bills team was in the NFC, you're probably looking at a 4-seed. Looks like things may be coming together. The sign of a good team is one that gets better as the year goes on. It's happening in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 i dont think we can beat the stealers, but they should already be in the playoffs, and might be resting people. 137232[/snapback] Anyone who saw yesterday's Steelers/'Skins game knows the Bills can beat the Steelers in Buffalo. If a team can stop the run and put event he slightest pressure of Big Ben, they will crumble and leave the door open all day. Also, Pitt cannot stop the deep passes. I see big things for Lee Evans in that game -- as long as Drew can get the ball to him. I agree with other posters that Denver will collapse. I also see the Jests letting a couple slip away that shouldn't. The playoff picture is much more open than it appears right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachChuckDickerson Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I BELEIVE!!! WHY NOT US!!! Are chances are not as dim as they were last week.

JETS- 8-3 Houston Possible L, but a W b/c at home @Pittsburgh Definite L Seattle Possible L, Seattle is not as bad as they were yesterday New England Definite L @St. Louis Definite L Thats 10-6 if they win vs. Seattle, but if Seattle wins, then 9-7. I'm much more concerned about the Ravens. Do you guys honestly think Baltimore will lose to Cinci??? I think the Ravens get one slot for sure at 10-6, Denver collapses and we fight with the Jest for the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad1 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 The Bills are 2 games out of a playoff spot with 5 games to go. Not the best position, but certainly it's not time to throw in the towel, especially if they keep playing the way that they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICE Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Bottom line we have to win out. No way around it. Even with 10-6 we most likely won't make it. 9-7 there is no way in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate you giving credit where credit is due... 137442[/snapback] Hey, the Bills are playing good football. Buffalo played the Pats well up in RWS, and there's no shame in losing at Foxboro. Your special teams are dynamite. The one thing I would fear, if I was a Bills fan, would be how much of yesterday's result was of the Bills dominating or the Seahags imploding?

Even if the game comes down to Seattle imploding, while the Bills stayed in control, which they did, that's not a bad thing. Winning games in November and December shows that the team has character that other teams lack. That bodes well for them building themselves into a contender.

Foxboro Mike Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 As Jimy Williams used to say, "Gotta play the schedule." Well, now you have meaningful games in December - starting the way the Bills did, you guys can't ask for much more than that. Added bonus: you can evaluate players you have questions on for next year in a late-season, pressure atmosphere. It'll help MM and staff grow as well.
