Mickey Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 We're going 8-2 the rest of the way? With this defense? I just don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong. GO BILLS!!! I am more worried about the injuries than the defense. They are starting to pile up. Andy is going to left tackle, Kyle Williams is out and may be out longer than expected. We are literally running out of receivers. Every team in the league is dealing with injuries but we are so lacking in depth that its going to cost us more heavily than other teams.
r00tabaga Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I will agree with you if we beat the Redskins without controversy. I hope we don't draw Gene Catchatori's crew this week. The referees have been hit or miss this year. So random wether you get a good crew or not. 11 on 11 or 11 on 16.
hamtenp Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 +1 ESPN jumps on any bandwagons as they pass by. I dont think we will go 12-4 maybe 10-6. I can see that. But I hope Im wrong too. We will be lucky to go 8-8 considering all the injuries. The Jets, Miami and NE are not walkovers.
Mr. WEO Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Wait--where are all of the "ESPN sucks" and "I never watch ESPN because they only talk about the Cowboys, pats, Steelers,etc" and "ESPN doesn't know anything about the Bills" posts?
nrod424 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Wait--where are all of the "ESPN sucks" and "I never watch ESPN because they only talk about the Cowboys, pats, Steelers,etc" and "ESPN doesn't know anything about the Bills" posts? This is a pointless post, why would anyone complain when we finally do get coverage? That said, ESPN does suck, along with the NFL and NHL referees this year.
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Wait--where are all of the "ESPN sucks" and "I never watch ESPN because they only talk about the Cowboys, pats, Steelers,etc" and "ESPN doesn't know anything about the Bills" posts? ESPN does suck but it is a monopoly. And anyone who is getting their football knowledge from ESPN is clueless to begin with.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 ESPN has introduced a 2012 NFL Playoff Predictor: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7141042/introducing-espn-insider-nfl-playoffs-predictor?addata=2009_insdr_mod_nfl_xxx_xxx It has the Bills as a #5 seed at 12-4 with a 62.9 % chance of making the playoffs. The rest of the AFC goes like this: #1 Patriots 14-2 with 90.6% chance #2 Texans 12-4 with 72.6% chance #3 Ravens 12-4 with 85.6% chance #4 Chargers 8-8 with 55.3% chance #6 Steelers 11-5 with 59.8% chance If that scenario held up the Bills would travel to San Diego in the Wildcard Round. I'd signup for this scenario right now!!! Go Bills!!! Can't beat going to an 8-8 team but were going to be 14-2 in the #1 spot so we wont have to worry about it.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Unless they start actually playing well, San Diego is no shoe-in for the playoffs. I believe all 4 of their wins were against teams which were winless at the time the Chargers played them… Minnesota, Kansas City, Miami, and Denver. They don't have a quality win yet this year. Actually, when San Diego beat Denver, the Broncos had 1 win. Still no victories over a quality team.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 We're going 8-2 the rest of the way? With this defense? I just don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong. GO BILLS!!! With this defense? This defense? One outstanding performance against a LOUSY Redskins team - Let me give you some advice - Don't bet $ on them. In 4 to 6 more games if the D performs halfway as good as they did then you could bet the bank.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81c2d42c/article/playoff-picture-2011?campaign=Ext_email_NL_WK9_BUF Looks good to me...especially after a Bills' win on Sunday!!!
Donald Duck Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 10/30 Washington Redskins (Tor) 4:05 pm 11/06 New York Jets 1:00 pm 11/13 @ Dallas Cowboys 1:00 pm 11/20 @ Miami Dolphins 1:00 pm 11/27 @ New York Jets 1:00 pm 12/04 Tennessee Titans 1:00 pm 12/11 @ San Diego Chargers 4:15 pm 12/18 Miami Dolphins 1:00 pm 12/24 Denver Broncos 1:00 pm 1/01 @ New England Patriots 1:00 pm The Bills should do no worse than 6-4 with this remaining schedule....I wonder where they have the Bills losing two. I could see losses to the Pats, Jets, Cowboys, and maybe San Diego on the road. That would be 11-5 or 10-6. Jets /Bills matchup is a 1:00 PM start time. (just so nobody gets confused and misses it)
LABills08 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Just hope that Bengals loss doesn't come back to bite us.
BillsBytheBay Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Well, how does it feel to look across a schedule have games were calling wins. This team has come so far in a short time. This game is big, and I think it is what this team needs to get real respect. If the bills win Sunday I can see it being a 12 win season.
strive_for_five_guy Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Updated Today: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7176905/kansas-city-chiefs-make-playoffs-espn-insider-nfl-playoffs-predictor #1 Patriots 12-4 with 90.8% chance #2 Steelers 11-5 with 76.7% chance #3 Texans 10-6 with 82.3% chance #4 Chiefs 8-8 with 39.5% chance #5 Bills 11-5 with 86.1% chance #6 Ravens with 72..2% chance Despite having the top running game and third-ranked passing efficiency in the AFC, people continue to sleep on the Bills; trust the numbers, Fred Jackson ain't Travis Henry. so the bills win 23-0, and espn now projects them to go 11-5 with 86% chance, instead of 12-4 with 60-something percent chance....
26CornerBlitz Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 Just hope that Bengals loss doesn't come back to bite us. Bengals have @Titans, Steelers, and @Ravens the next three weeks....That will tell quite a bit about who they really are.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 so the bills win 23-0, and espn now projects them to go 11-5 with 86% chance, instead of 12-4 with 60-something percent chance.... I wonder what happens after we beat New Jersey this weekend. Maybe they'll project us for 9-6 and a 95% chance of making the playoffs.
Lockport Bills Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 SI has us getting the 6th seed, beating Houston in the wild card round, and losing to the Steelers in the divisional round. Regardless, anything with Buffalo Bills and playoffs in the same sentence is awesome!
RyanC882 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 SI has us getting the 6th seed, beating Houston in the wild card round, and losing to the Steelers in the divisional round. Regardless, anything with Buffalo Bills and playoffs in the same sentence is awesome! Super Bowl. But then we loose again, this time to Green Bay. But whatever. This defense will improve throught the remainder of the season, even with the uninspiring play calling of Edwards. No QB can throw when their center is in their face. This will happen a lot with Marcell on the inside. We just need to continue the pass rush, or pressure even, then we can let the DB's continue their interception streak. We shouldn't be afraid of anyone in the AFC right now. Our offense can score quickly, or slow it down with Jackson runs, and I"m sure Gailey has trick plays he's waiting to use.
