Losing to Houston was GREAT for us

Let's revisit this after we make the playoffs. IF we go 8-8, was it a great thing?

 

Orton had, IMO, his best game. Still, there is room for improvement. But let's not start licking our popsicles yet. Didn't Orton start off 5-0 one year and miss the playoffs? And honestly, it's not really about Orton. I still think Hackett isn't good. I would bet the times you win with 6 turnovers is damn near 100%.

 

You can't be losing to teams like Minnesota or letting garbage teams like the Jets hang around.

 

Unless your Buffalo and playing Dallas on MNF in BUFFALO......Dallas had 6 turnovers to our 1 that night, but managed to squeak out the win and crush our souls once again

someone posted in another thread that we might be looking back at the Houston game and saying "what if?" I think you make a good point to counteract that line of thinking. As you state, it led to Orton starting, and it is that loss and ensuing decision which will most likely put the Bills in position to contend for a spot in the last quarter of the season.

 

Here's what I think has to happen in the second half for the playoffs to become reality:

1. Win all 4 home games--KC, Jets, Cleveland, and Green Bay. All are possible given home field advantage.

2. Split the 4 road games--Miami, Denver, Oakland, and New England. This will most likely be easier than the #1 with Miami and Oakland as Ws.

 

This outcome puts them at 11-5 and in the playoffs (my sig line btw).
