RevWarRifleman Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Third quarter of the season starts Thursday. This will be the make/break stretch for many teams. How will the Bills do? Place your predictions. I'm going with 3 - 1. We all know who the one loss will likely be against. Nevertheless, Go Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I like dividing the season to quarters when appraising a team. It helps to not get too high or too low over any single game. The Bills definitely need to go 3-1 over the next quarter season. This game against the Jets is as close to a must-win as I can imagine for a ninth game of the season.

Boatdrinks Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'd say 2-2 is likely. One loss is already in the bag ( save for major injury to Gronkowski or Brady) . It's hard to envision winning the other three. I don't think we match up great with this years model NYJ. I can see all sorts of misdirection plays and the Bills D relentlessly over pursuing and biting on play fakes and bootlegs. Then they will go gangbusters toward the QB not recognizing they are being let in and set up for a screen. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing the Jags game is the big reason why. I'd say 2-2 is likely. One loss is already in the bag ( save for major injury to Gronkowski or Brady) . It's hard to envision winning the other three.

Hopefully though, you will be wrong. I'd say 2-2 is likely. One loss is already in the bag ( save for major injury to Gronkowski or Brady) . It's hard to envision winning the other three.

Then they will go gangbusters toward the QB not recognizing they are being let in and set up for a screen. I hope I'm wrong. That is a likely scenario against the Jests. I'm hopeful too, that you will be wrong. Get your popcorn ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta make that one up somewhere. The game at the Jets looks like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 At the half way mark I'm 1 game off of my prediction of 5-3. Stay healthy and play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 They have to beat the jets tomorrow. If they don't, I really think the season is done. Cause then it is at new england so 4-6 most likely, then would almost have to go 6-0 or 5-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Jets win gives them a 2 game cushion and the tiebreaker for a wildcard, assuming that the Patriots to fold like a wet taco. This absolutely 100% is a playoff game for Buffalo.

This is a Must Win in my book. it would give the Bills tie breaker (for the time being) and "if the playoffs started that day" gives the Bills the WC spot for the week.

BobChalmers Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Agree with you @ the Jets game. It's basically for the Bills, a playoff game. Losing the Jags game is the big reason why. Yup - that's my thought too - the difference between losing to the Jags and not is the difference between 4-6 and 5-5 if they drop the next two. 4-6 is a tough spot - not totally out of it, but not good. I guess I'd stop short of calling it a playoff, but they're in a hole if they lose. Since we can't expect a win @NE that 5 has to come tomorrow night. OTOH, a win @New Jersey puts them in likely position to close out the Jets and clinch a spot when they host them at Buffalo at the end.
