thebandit27 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's nice that they are good enough to beat Jacksonville (2-9). Please. Of Jacksonville's 9 losses, 6 have been 1-score games. Those games include losses to Baltimore (6-5), Kansas City (8-3), and Detroit (7-4), so let's not act as though a win by a single TD is somehow damning to the team's playoff chances. How many times over the last decade have you seen NE eek out a win that they probably didn't deserve against an inferior opponent? It happens; wins matter. Now they need to go win the next one.

thebandit27 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 These Bills ain't going to the playoffs. I'll put money on it. That's really going out on a limb now that they're in a spot where they need to go 4-1 over their next 5. Quite the risk-taker, aren't you?

SF Bills Fan Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I just played with the ESPN playoff machine, and here's the low-down: If the team goes 4-1 the rest of the way, with the only loss coming to a non-division team, they're extremely likely to get in...I base this on the fact that the machine puts them as the 6th seed with a 10-6 record (wins against Miami and the Jets are non-negotiable) and the remainder of the schedule playing out in favor of the team with the higher win percentage. Same result. I've played around with it a little and with a loss this week but wins the rest of the way after that, we should make the playoffs. I used a setting where the likeliest outcome is selected (win percentage). I also made a few adjustments here and there, but I think that our chances if we go 10-6 are much better than people seem to believe. That said, beating Pittsburgh, Miami and even the Jets in NYC is a tough achievement, so 10-6 is not going to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yeah, but.... "Of Jacksonville's 9 losses, 6 have been 1-score games" - thebandit27 Thanks for proving my point--that not one of the other 5 teams that only managed a 1-score victory over Jacksonville has a "yeah but" in their standings either. Every win counts--it seems you're unwilling to concede that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
