The Bills win the tiebreaker over the Pats so this site is wrong. Talk about large market bias. It doesn't really matter thought because there are still 11 games to be played.
RyanC883 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks for the post. Really the only 2 teams in the AFC that frighten me are the Raiders (McFadden is a beast, Cambell can have great games) and the Pats. We've beat them before, but I think we'll have to beat at least one of them again. Nice to be thinking about Playoffs, but we still need to win some games. Let's get the #1 seed!

It doesn't really matter thought because there are still 11 games to be played. It is not who is in the playoffs today, but who he thinks will be in the playoffs. For example, San Diego is currently 4-1, but he has Oakland winning the AFC West, although they are 3-2.

I would add the Steelers and Ravens too, they both are beatable on occasion but also can have near perfect games.
Maddog69 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I don't care who we match up against, it is just fun to have the Bills be in the conversation for playoffs at this point. My expectation is that we will go into the last week of the regular season needing to beat the Pats for a playoff spot. So that game will be our defacto playoff.
BuffaloBill Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I prefer to savor the season one week at a time .... way too early to think about this topic
Drey Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Here's what the playoffs would look like if the season ended today (instead of someone's projection): NFL.com Week 6 Playoff Picture Edited October 12, 2011 by Drey
deep2evans Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 i believe the worst AFC matchups for the Bills are teams with a talented, fast defense and a reliable running game. For me, in order of difficulty, it's: 1. Baltimore 2. Pittsburgh 3. NYJ The Jets look weak right now, but with a healthy o-line and if Shonn Greene gets it going, I really don't like that match-up. As for the playoffs - we know we need to get to 10 wins. You need the Jets to win less and Tennessee to win less. I think Cincy will fall, and they need to, because they obviously have the tie-beaker over us. I also don't think Oakland wins MORE than 10, so we have the tie-breaker there. So that leaves playoffs spots for the division winners: Buff/NE, Balt/Pitt, Houston, San Diego. The leftovers from those battles get the wildcards. What's fascinating is that I think we could end up with a very winnable game if we get to that 10 win spot. It will more than likely end up being Houston or San Diego in that #3 spot (I think NE wins the division and gets a bye).
maryland-bills-fan Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Playoffs!!!???? Playoffs!!!?? Whose talking about the Playoffs!!!????
John from Riverside Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I really hate these early season predictions..... Look....This is still a young team and we are going to lose some games here and there.....my first prediction for this team was 9-7 (I changed it last week to 10-6) We are not going to keep winning nearly every game.....we are going to lose some of these close shootouts. It doesn't mean that this team isnt getting better quickly.
Captain Hindsight Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Just win the division. Chan has done it in 66% of his seasons as a head coach. He understands the importance of that
RyanC883 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I would add the Steelers and Ravens too, they both are beatable on occasion but also can have near perfect games. Good additions. More scared of the Steelers. When their offense gets going, it gets going.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I would add the Steelers and Ravens too, they both are beatable on occasion but also can have near perfect games. Steelers dont scare me nearly as much as Pats or Ravens. For some reason the Steelers this year look average. Maybe as the season will go on the guys will get more focused. Butfor some reason right now they don't seem like the team from just a season ago. Not saying the Bills shouldn't be hungry or over confident against any team

Not saying the Bills shouldn't be hungry or over confident against any team I agree. i thought the Steelers have looked average and dare I say... old? Time to find out if Tomlin is a good coach or not
SactoBillFan Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Here's what the playoffs would look like if the season ended today (instead of someone's projection): NFL.com Week 6 Playoff Picture Not sure how they know whether Green Bay or Detroit get the bye...
r00tabaga Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I said the Bills would go 5-11...maybe 6-10 so this topic is AWESOME!!!!!!
Drey Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Not sure how they know whether Green Bay or Detroit get the bye... Strength of victory tiebreaker. Green Bay's opponents are 10-15 (40% win percentage) and Detroit's opponents are 10-14 (41.7% win percentage) Same reason the Bills would be top seed in the AFC over the Chargers Edited October 12, 2011 by Drey

BRAWNDO Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Wait a minute a national writer mentioned the Bills as a playoff team??!!
