Kingston Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 In the same breath every team on that schedule are marking the Bills game as a probable win.
NoSaint Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Here's the remaining schedule : Bucs Raiders Jets Saints Chargers Kc Pats Colts Dolphins Pats Dolphins Of the remaining games, the only teams I would chalk up as an absolute loss is the Patriots twice and kc. Their is nobody left on the schedule with a stout defense. Obviously that can change though. 11-5 is not all that impossible. I'll actually be quite surprised if we're under nine wins and that's with our horrid offense Even if you like us 60-40 in all those games individually it's a reeeeal long shot to win them all
Jobot Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 The problem is that teams will now game plan for Buffalo by shutting down the run, and keeping Tyrod contained.... From there an opposing conservative offense will eclipse the insurmountable 17pts about 50% of the time, and keep the Bills very close to .500
Sandy McFiddish Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Would not completely shock me if we make 11-5 or 10-6 just like 4-12 would not shock me. We had a fairly tough schedule so far, I was hoping we could be 2-3 by now so I will take it for sure. Hope we get some of these injured players back. This team is good enough to win any of the remaining games. There are also bad enough to lose any one of them. Exactly. There is no record we could finish with that would shock me
NewEra Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 We need WRs like yesterday. Agreed. Gonna take some creative play calling and Zay Jones to wake up for this offense to stand a chance
ogham26 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Bucs WRaiders WJets WSaints WChargers WKc LPats LColts WDolphins WPats LDolphins W 11-5 is possible but they would definitely need to rip off the next 4 or 5 games winning all of them to have a real shot at it

Manther Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 The Bills have faced 4 of the top 6 defenses in the first 5 games. I like the direction of our team. But, maybe those defenses are ranked high because of the stats the Bills helped them put up!?
26CornerBlitz Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I like the direction of our team. But, maybe those defenses are ranked high because of the stats the Bills helped them put up!? You might have a good point if they played the Bills offense every week. @YardsPerPass Offense certainly hasn't had it easy regarding the defenses they've gone against (4 of top 9:35 AM - 9 Oct 2017
TPS Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Here's the remaining schedule : Bucs--HOME Raiders--HOME Jets Saints--HOME Chargers Kc Pats--HOME Colts--HOME Dolphins--HOME Pats Dolphins Of the remaining games, the only teams I would chalk up as an absolute loss is the Patriots twice and kc. Their is nobody left on the schedule with a stout defense. Obviously that can change though. 11-5 is not all that impossible. I'll actually be quite surprised if we're under nine wins and that's with our horrid offense Realistically, we're talking about the ability of the offense, which really depends on whether they play at home or on the road. Of the 6 remaining home games, they can realistically win 5, losing to the Pats (while we might hold them to 20 points, we won't score 20). Of the road games, they have a chance for 3 out of the 5, losing to KC and the Pats as you said. If they win 2/3, that would put them at 10 wins. I think that's the rosiest scenario at this point.

transplantbillsfan Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Screw that! 12-4 and the #2 seed baby!!!
HappyDays Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I keep getting a bad feeling about the Jets game. We never play well in the Meadowlands. For some reason the Chargers game worries me too. Feels like a game where our offense falls apart and a bunch of injuries hit.
mjd1001 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I really don't see anything much better than 8-8....and with any more injuries....that is unlikely to happen. It is sad to say, but even with a winning record now, I'm almost more interested in seeing any hints as to what is going to happen next year. Will Matthews be resigned at WR? Is Cordy Glenn going to be gone (along with Dareus)? Will Peterman get a chance or is he just a clipboard holder for a high draft pick next year? With Kyle Williams and Dareus likely gone next year....how do they fill that HUGE hole in the DL (add to that Jerry Hughes isn't getting any younger/better) I'm actually very interested in seeing moves made sooner than later for next year. If the Bills happen to make the playoffs this year..then great. I just think there is about a 10% chance of that happening.
Samwell Tarly Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Bills could also go 5-11 and its not that crazy. No offense means defense ends up playing about 75 percent of the game, which leads to more injuries. A healthy defense holding opponents under 20 points gives the bills a shot, but if the score goes higher, they have virtually no chance. Unless they can get healthy and stay that way, their early success is not sustainable.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 No way we are doing that with these WRs. Unless we make1 or 2 trades for real WRs, 7 win max
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 So, are we still in the hunt? not mathematically eliminated so you're saying theres a chance...

NoSaint Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Or we could be 5-11 only winning against Indy and the Chargers the rest of the way. Yup. Most of these games are a coin flip from here, plus or minus a little bit. could come up all heads, or all tails but more likely somewhere in the middle.
