Rockinon Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Just looked it up. Leading Miami by a mile in both OSRS and DSRS. Hmmmm.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 @FiveThirtyEight Both Washington and Buffalo are riding four-game winning streaks and look like playoff contenders: https://t.co/R634s7NInH
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 It's still early, but the schedule doesn't look nearly as bad as before the season. Still the Bengals are a solid team despite their record. Miami can't be taken lightly. Even Cleveland is competitive in every game. I feel like that Bengals game is a big one. I don't count the Bills out against NE* or Pittsburgh but I can't expect to get those games. @Cincinnati and @Oakland...two playoff contenders I perceive as right around our level. Those would be huge AFC wins if we could get em.

What a Tuel Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Monday Night Football Texans @ Broncos (I guess I'd say Texans here right?) The good news: Steelers lost to the Patriots (At this point, I don't see them losing 6 games for us to compete with them for the division) Ravens lost to the Jets Not sure yet news: Titans lost to the Colts The bad news: Bills lost to Dolphins ( fish) Browns lost to the Bengals Saints lost to the Chiefs Jaguars lost to the Raiders Next Weeks Matchups Jaguars @ Titans (We want the Titans to lose) Redskins @ Bengals (Clearly want the Bengals to lose here) Chiefs @ Colts (I think we want the Chiefs to lose here) Raiders @ Buccaneers (Clearly want the Raiders to lose) Lions @ Texans (Clearly want the Lions to lose) Patriots @ Bills ( ) Jets @ Browns (Not sure it matters much) Chargers @ Broncos (Starting to think Chargers might be a wild card threat if the ball starts bouncing their way - This one is too close to call) So we have a lot to root for next week. Our current closest competitors for the wildcard are: Chiefs at 4-2 Broncos at 4-2 However this can easily change from week to week. One week at a time guys. Just like 2014, we aren't out until the season is over, so quit your whining. Edited October 24, 2016 by What a Tuel
26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 @fboutsiders On @ESPNInsider, analysis of the FO postseason odds and commentary on the super-strong NFC East/AFC West: https://t.co/wWfxXP0gWh AFC PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS 6. Buffalo Bills (4-3)Odds of making playoffs: 51.1 percent Although the Bills still make the playoffs in over half our simulations, their odds fell 24.7 percent with the upset loss to Miami, more than any other NFL team this week. Poor play dropped their overall DVOA from third in the league to ninth, and the loss also made them 1-2 in the AFC East. A home loss to the Patriots would essentially kill their chances to win the AFC East and leave their playoff chances up to having two of the four AFC West teams collapse. Three of Buffalo's four wins have come against NFC West teams, putting them in terrible position if they end up needing a tiebreaker for a wild card.

Three of Buffalo's four wins have come against NFC West teams, putting them in terrible position if they end up needing a tiebreaker for a wild card. But we knew this already.... once again proving that its better to lose to NFC teams than beat them.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 But we knew this already.... once again proving that its better to lose to NFC teams than beat them. No doubt that 1-6 would put them in a much better position.
Dorkington Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 We lose against the Pats, we're basically out of the playoff hunt. Not even November yet, Jesus.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 We lose against the Pats, we're basically out of the playoff hunt. Not even November yet, Jesus. Uh no! The hunt for the AFC East...sure. AFC Playoffs? Still alive for sure.

4merper4mer Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Mathematically, sure. But realistically... Tiebreakers will suck for sure.
Dorkington Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Tiebreakers will suck for sure. Think we can get Roger to move us to the NFC?
