Dragonborn10 Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 This team is going to kill Miami. They are going to take out their frustrations on NFL network and destroy the Dolphins. You could see the raw emotion on Fitz during his press conference. It will be 28-3 early in the third quarter and they will not let up. Then if they can overcome the emotion of Indy on the road they can win out. This team is so close. Just one break on defense, one pick, one sack-fumble... Just one dialed up blitz at the right moment... It all starts with destroying Miami!!! We played our best game of the season and lost. We will likely lose out. They can't give Spiller 9 carries and expect to win. 9 carries was good enough for 31 points... Would you rather run against Wilfork and Mayo or pass against their horrible secondary???
poblano Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Ill be watching Thursday and rooting for them. And I'll do the same when I travel to Indy to see my first game live this year. I only get 16 sundays a year. I'll watch every min +1
KollegeStudnet Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) You must be high, because I'm looking at a team that hasn't won a game vs. the AFC East so far in 2012! Edited November 12, 2012 by KollegeStudnet
thewildrabbit Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Even the Jags game isn't a lock...something happens to Fitz or Spiller its an easy loss.. 3-13 is possible, tho more like 4-12 You guys need to remember who is the Bills DC We played our best game of the season and lost. We will likely lose out. They can't give Spiller 9 carries and expect to win. That does boggle the mind... The Patriots fans are sure happy Spiller only got 9 carries, 4 pass receptions... how can a head coach be so stupid
jkrules Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Seattle may be a challenge, but I actually think we match up well with them. Believe it or not, I am banking on winning out. Wow, usually takes a couple of days after another loss for the delusional people to show up on this board.
ALLEN1QB Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I have to disagee we will have to beat the Steelers out fod a wild card spot and thats not going to happen. I have to disagee we will have to beat the Steelers out fod a wild card spot and thats not going to happen.

Rico Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 The 2004 Bills were also 3-6 after 9 games, then won their next 6 & would've made the playoffs if Bledsoe hasn't sh#* the bed against the Steelers 3rd-stringers... so anything is possible.
jjmac Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Given this team started 6 of 9 on the road and having to play 4 of those games against very difficult opponents on the road it was expected this team would go at best 5-4.....which they almost did. It came down to a play in each game from that vs 3-6. The expected record was 4-5. They can easily win out the rest of the games and finish 10-6. 5 of them are home games, 2 of them are road games. If they go 6-1 they still aren't out of it. Its quite possible the two WC teams from the AFC are 9-7 or worse. With them losing today it will be very difficult for them to win the division. The Bills would need to have a better record than New England. I'll politely beg to differ. The Bills haven't proven they can beat teams that they shouldn't. Until they get more consistently competitive, they will not make the playoffs.

boltuprite Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Miami = loss at Indy = loss Jacksonville = win St Louis = win Seattle = loss at Miami= loss Jets win = win I see a 6-10 record not a 10-6
CodeMonkey Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Seattle may be a challenge, but I actually think we match up well with them. Believe it or not, I am banking on winning out. I certainly hope you are talking figuratively.
MikeBillsFan Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Seattle may be a challenge, but I actually think we match up well with them. Believe it or not, I am banking on winning out. I saw four or five penalties on that opening drive that didn't show good coaching. Here are four replacements who wouldn't let that happen: http://buffalowdown.com/2012/11/08/buffalo-bills-need-a-change-at-head-coach/
mjt328 Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I've been calling this since Week 1. The Bills will win 6 of their last 7. They will finish 9-7, just barely missing the playoffs... yet taking themselves out of the chance to draft one of top 3-4 QBs. Don't be surprised if they wait until the Jets in Week 17 - with playoffs on the line - to blow it either.
agardin Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 They will not make the playoffs but they wouldn't be the Bills if they didn't make a run and fall just short. That way the fans could look back at the Titans and Pats games and say "if only". The Bills will then have a half decent record and a resulting 8-15 slot in the draft. Make no mistake, the Bills will find a way to frustrate their die hards. Sadly, I am one of them.
Billshank Redemption Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 take it one game at a time, no sense of worrying about 5 games down the road when with this win it only puts us at 4-6
Big C Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 The Dolphins started strong, but I think they are starting to show their immaturity. Make no mistake, they are good and will be good soon, but this is not their year. The Bengals and Chargers could be competition for us, but their play has been just as inconsistent so I don't see them as a legitimate threat. The only teams I'm seeing as wild card competition are the Colts and Steelers. Both teams have a much harder schedule ahead of them than us: Colts get @New England, @Detroit, and both of their Houston games; Steelers still have both of their Ravens games and @Dallas (they look better than their record implies). The young Colts especially look poised to lose 4 games not including us. We still need to beat them, though, so say Indy beats one of the above and loses to us. They go 9-7. This means that even if we go 6-1 and end 9-7, we still get in with the tiebreaker. The Steelers are more likely to get to 10-6 or better.
Smiley Dear Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I have to disagee we will have to beat the Steelers out fod a wild card spot and thats not going to happen. I have to disagee we will have to beat the Steelers out fod a wild card spot and thats not going to happen. The Steelers are a lock for the 1st WC. We are competing with Indy, Cinci, Tenn, SD Miami and NYJ for the last WC. The Bills have by far the easiest remaining schedule. I wouldn't bet on it happening, but if they can manage to win out, they WILL make the playoffs. I'll be watching and praying that they do. Edited November 12, 2012 by Smiley Dear
May Day 10 Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Ill be rooting for them Thursday (and each subsequent game if they win) If they lose against Miami though, coaching staff should be fired immediately and maybe Nix. 3-7, 2-14 in last 16 Division games. ugh
