TPS Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted this in another thread. Relevant for this one. IF the Bills can win the next 3 AND go 2-2 in the final quarter, they make 10-6. 5 Wins= @Mia, NYJ, Clev, @Oak, GB For the competition, I'll list games where they have a higher (than 50-50) chance of losing: AFCW KC 6-3: SEA, DEN, @AZ, @Pitt, SD. Lose 4 of 5. 9-7 SD 5-4: Pats, Den, @SF, @KC. Lose 3 of 4. 9-7 AFCN: Clev 6-3: @Buf, Ind, @CAR, @Balt, Cin. Lose Ind, @Buf, and one of @Balt or Cin, so Pitt wins division and Bills win head-to-head. Cinc 5-3-1: @NO, Pitt, @Clev, Den, @Pitt. Lose any 3 and they are 9-6-1. Pitt 5-4: NO, @Cin, KC, Cin. Easiest schedule. Hope they win division (Bills have the head-to-head over Clev). Pitt needs to beat Cin twice in case Clev and Pitt are 10-6. Balt 5-4: @NO, SD, @Mia, Clev. Lose 3 and they are 9-7. Scenarios: 1. It's all moot if Bills don't take care of business. 2. If KC only loses 3 more games, then Pitt needs to win AFCN so Bills have tie breaker with Clev. I don't see SD doing better than 9-7. 3. If KC loses 4 more games, then most likely Pitt and Clev get in as Div winner and WC, with Bills as the other WC. It would've been a hell of a lot easier had the Bills beat KC, but I believe they still have a pretty decent shot with #2 be most likely.
TheFunPolice Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Lots of games between these teams... Pitt and cincy still play twice New England* still plays the Chargers If the Bills can finish 10-6 they will make it in imo
BillsBackersChicago Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Lots of games between these teams... Pitt and cincy still play twice New England* still plays the Chargers If the Bills can finish 10-6 they will make it in imo Playoffs or not, 10-6 and I will be beyond satisfied with the progress made this season and will be willing to sit on judgment of our coaching staff and GM until the end of next season.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 If the season ended today Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins moved back into Wild Card contention with a win over the Bills on Thursday night, rising all the way into the No. 7 spot in the AFC. Make it 15 years w/o playoff football.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 @BuffRumblings Still holding out hope for a #Bills playoff run? Root for HOU, SEA, NO, STL, OAK, DET, GB, IND, TEN this week.
dwight in philly Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 11-5 gets us in the only way to approach the rest of the season, take it a game at a time.. who knows.. its been done by others..
plenzmd1 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 the only way to approach the rest of the season, take it a game at a time.. who knows.. its been done by others.. I am with ya brother>>>lets watch the games and see what happens today...then lets beat the Jets...thats all they can do right now
Matteboots Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Anyone that seriously believes we have a shot at playoffs is beyond my comprehension. With games still against Denver, Green Bay and New England, finishing 8-8 at best (not to mention playing a different Jets team and a 6-3 Browns team that will have Josh Gordon back) is not going to get us in the playoffs. We needed these past 2 games and we couldn't pull it off. Another year, another .500 or below finish. At this point I am just looking to see some of the young talent show some development.
Bill Brasky Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 3 weeks ago the media in Pats land were pimping the upcoming 6 game stretch as a killer for NE. It's daunting when you look at all at once but when taken individually it's at least manageable.

plenzmd1 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Anyone that seriously believes we have a shot at playoffs is beyond my comprehension. see, thats the point being missed. No one thinks we have a realistic shot at the playoffs, but what the hell, I will still root for them to win and others to lose so mybe that 3% chance can happen! Think i remember a couple of years ago San Diego being 3 games back with 4 to play...they made it in. Not saying think it will happen, but WTH, aint like we can move up in the first round with loses
26CornerBlitz Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 With Houston defeating Cleveland today the Bills fall even further in the AFC Playoff race.
plenzmd1 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 With Houston defeating Cleveland today the Bills fall even further in the AFC Playoff race. really? I can see the Cinci win, but how is the Celeland loss bad?
26CornerBlitz Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 really? I can see the Cinci win, but how is the Celeland loss bad? The Bills lose the head to head tiebreaker with Houston because of the week 4 loss.
rumblefish Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 you never know, who would have predicted that the all might Broncos would have only scored 6 point and lose, add in the browns going down Thursdays loss in one word was "HUGE"

I'm not.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 @BuffRumblings No matter what happens between SD and OAK, #Bills will still be 12th in AFC tomorrow and own tiebreakers over none of the 11 ahead of them.
All_Pro_Bills Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Anyone that seriously believes we have a shot at playoffs is beyond my comprehension. With games still against Denver, Green Bay and New England, finishing 8-8 at best (not to mention playing a different Jets team and a 6-3 Browns team that will have Josh Gordon back) is not going to get us in the playoffs. We needed these past 2 games and we couldn't pull it off. Another year, another .500 or below finish. At this point I am just looking to see some of the young talent show some development. I'm resigned to the fact the Bills are close to certain of not going to the playoffs again this year. Sure, we can look at all the scenarios and hold out hope but you're just setting yourself up for more disappointment. The team is like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. Trust me, I won't move the ball when you try to kick it! They had their chance with the 2 games in 5 days against the Chiefs and the Dolphins and failed the test. Plain and simple they didn't answer the bell. Edited November 16, 2014 by All_Pro_Bills
