Koufax Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Forget all that stuff, and we can worry about the Bills in week 17. What really matters THIS weekend is that the Browns beat the Panthers and the Falcons beat the Saints. With those two outcomes, we keep alive a very good chance that a six win team makes the playoffs. Six wins! That's the kind of stuff that keeps 7-9 Dick Jauron up at night!

bbb Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Somebody tell me quickly -- I don't want to go through all of the permutations -- what was the impact of Jacksonville's win last night on the Bills' chances? It was the Butterfly Effect.

That one of them had to lose so the Jets are still 6th overall pick at 3-11!! Bad time to suck. Edited December 20, 2014 by What a Tuel
truth on hold Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Hogwash. I guarantee you the Bills are not "scared" to play the Pats.* If they're good enough they'll win; if not (or if Walt Coleman is the referee), they won't. I'm a lot more concerned about pats 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th man, than I am the Bills playing them straight up Edited December 20, 2014 by JTSP

8-8 Forever? Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I am simply looking forward to hopefully another win and a strong game. the rest can wait.

YoloinOhio Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Only? I'd say a 1 in 3 chance is pretty darn good considering where we're been i think what he is referring to is that many people assume we have a great chance if we win out. I was thinking it might be more like 50% or 60%. Oh well.

I was too optimistic but I guess I can't get to the point where I can imagine the Bill winning in Foxboro. So if they did, for some reason, that equaled playoffs to me. Haha.

I'm preparing for two scenarios that are both very Buffalo Billian. 1.) Bills find a way to lose in Oakland (They haven't won there since 1966, similar to the Pack's strange winless record in Buffalo) 2.) All the rest of the NFL wins break right for the Bills to be 6th, The Bills are leading in Foxborro by 6 with 3 mins left, then Spiller fumbles after catching a dump off. Pats recover and return to Bills 30, then Brady throws a TD pass with a minute left to take the lead. We then watch Orton try to get the Bills in FG position but he takes a strip sack fumble and the game is over. I'm pretty certain it's going to be option 1.) or 2.).

QB Bills Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) 5) Over the next month and a half the Bills win in oakland, foxboro, indy, denver, foxboro again and then finally in arizona Edited December 20, 2014 by QB Bills

VA Bills Fan Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 How about a scenario of beating OAK and losing to NE and still making playoffs? I'm sure its already been posted so I apologize in advance...
