Beef Jerky Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 When teams that don't have to contend with being in the same division as Brady / Belichick for a decade and a half make the playoffs with crappy records ( and don't have to deal with some god awful streak because of it) I'll just take the cheap playoff berth, thank you. Baby steps... Even if the Pats weren't in this division the Bills still wouldn't make the playoffs.
Boatdrinks Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Even if the Pats weren't in this division the Bills still wouldn't make the playoffs. Perhaps not this season. I'm pretty sure the Bills wouldn't be in the midst of a fifteen year drought though. Teams have gotten in at 8-8 or less in other divisions. So I'll take it if they do. No shame in that . Just a playoff berth please.

Baby steps... for me, playing tough and smart is a step forward, and anything less is a disappointment - regardless of where either lead
IronyAbounds Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 has the bar really been set so low, that the idea of this team sniffing a wildcard spot - playing the way they are - excites you guys? this roster has talent and a professional coaching staff to prepare them. if they can't get their collective head out their collective ass in the second half, and dominate opponents - then i could care less about them stumbling their way into a post-season tourney. you play to make your mark. you compete to win. they may still have it in them to play tough disciplined ball - to becoming a team with a purpose. if we see that happen in the next 9 games - then let the chips fall where they may. I'll be happy to make the playoffs just because it would be a nice change of pace after 15 years, but if the Bills limp in at 8-8 or 9-7 that won't change my opinion that Rex sucks big time.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 @SalSports Good morning. It's #MiamiWeek in Buffalo. And after 8 weeks, AFC playoff picture is a mess & completely wide open: http://www.wgr550.com/Messy-AFC-keeps-Bills-firmly-in-mix/22131538
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Even if the Pats weren't in this division the Bills still wouldn't make the playoffs. Look at Indy's record. Take the Cheaters away and the div is wide open just like the NFCE.
TheFunPolice Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 This AFC wild card race is wide open! Let's get to 4-4 going into that huge TNF game against NJ!
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Midway through the season with a bunch of bad teams and good teams playing bad - I guess now is the time to talk scenarios. http://espn.go.com/nfl/standings/_/view/playoff Raiders, NYETS and Steelers are in the way. The NYETS will fall away very soon. The Steelers are they prime competition and the Raiders, who have surprised the NFL thus far, play each other Sunday in Pittsburgh http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/oak http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/pit This AFC wild card race is wide open!

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Looking at that, we have the easiest road by far.......I mean if we were actually good What's this? No faith in Tyrod with maybe Sammy and Shady back??
Dorkington Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Looking at that, we have the easiest road by far.......I mean if we were actually good Indeed. We really do control our own destiny, here.
MDH Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Looking at that, we have the easiest road by far.......I mean if we were actually good Five on the road including 3 in a row. That makes it not so easy.

Heitz Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 We have 2 losses left or were out. I don't think it will take 10 - 6 to make the playoffs this year, I think 9 - 7 can do it. The 5th and 6th seed currently have one more loss than us (and good luck Jets with Geno), the 7th seed, Pittsburgh also has 4 losses, but have played one more game than us so they have 4 wins as well. Keep winning - especially over the next two weeks and we'll (obviously) be going in the right direction...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 it will be a close race to the finish that is for sure. Close enough to a MUST win the next 2 of 3 games followed by MUST win 2 of 3 games followed by MUST win 2 of 3 games.

Close enough to a MUST win the next 2 of 3 games followed by MUST win 2 of 3 games followed by MUST win 2 of 3 games. Patriots and Dallas I am guessing are two of those losses so we can allow one more after that.....God it sucks to have to concede two games every year to the Pats.
