Here is Baltimore's remaining schedule: Lions at Steelers at Browns Colts Bengals Ravens can very well lose to Detroit, will lose to Pitt, and possibly lose to Cincy. After tonight, they're 6-5, and could finish 9-7 or 10-6. They're O is way worse then ours, I think our WC battle will come down to week 17..
FloridaSnow Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Calm down, everyone. The Colts or Browns might beat the Ravens too (yes, they are that bad). The Jaguars or Titans could fall out of it (they aren't very good either). The Bills could lose to the Dolphins or Colts as well (everyone is terrible). There is so much football left to play... It could be that the Bengals and KC get the wildcard spots with the LA Chargers winning their division. It is a madhouse and too early to figure out who will be competing with us for a wild card (if we make it that far).

It's not just Baltimore That could definitely happen. Like many said,lotta football to be played.. McD, Dennison, Frazier can erase any bad taste left in our mouths by pulling off the major upset next week. Let's see what happens week by week. We luck out by playing an awful Dolphin team twice..

Boatdrinks Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 14 minutes ago, DaBills51 said: Three turnovers for Savage is the main reason the Texans lost. People continually downplay how well Tyrod protects the football. At least 10 teams have QBs that will continually not even give their team a shot. Also, while the Bills don't look like a playoff team, one could easily say that the Ravens, Titans and Chiefs don't either, and all three of those teams are currently in as of now. Yes, it is. Folks give Tyrod plenty of credit for minimizing turnovers. However, it also at a pretty big expense : few dynamic plays in the passing game. It's fine when the defense is playing well , and getting some timely takeaways of their own. The league is mediocre, and asking Taylor just to not lose the game such as in yesterday's win can keep you hanging around for awhile. There will be games in a season that are like the Jets and Saints games where you just need to score lots of points because the D doesn't have it that day. Or are simply overmatched. Tyrods style will only win them so many. Residing in the AFCE makes qualifying for the playoffs as a fringe team a lot tougher. If the Bills miss the playoffs again, missed opportunities in the CIN game when they couldn't score RZ TDs will be the biggest culprit. That and an abysmal second half showing @ NYJ. The margin for error is very thin with Taylor as a starting QB.
Buffalo03 Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 The Ravens should have easily lost their last two games. How do they manage to get the Packers without Aaron Rodgers and Texans without DeShaun Watson in back to back games? If both of those QBs play, the Ravens lose both games

You named six guys. Everyone of the the first six are better than the second six. Possibly Howard deserves to be in the top six.

The margin for error is very thin with Taylor as a starting QB. Its interesting that you bring up the Jets and Saints games. Why is it ignored that when you get run over for over 200 yards per game, and then the Saints game where I think it was 12+ straight rushes, that the offense has less opportunities? But I agree that there are plays a top 10 QB makes that would probably have this team in a wild card spot right now, but that doesn't mean Taylor shouldn't be on his team next year (which many want). Draft a QB in the first if he's there and make him compete. Not to mention, Tyrod was one of the better deep ball passers in 2015 (screen included through week 13 of 2015) and was middle of the pack in 2016, so it has to be asked, what changed? Dennison and then jettisoning all of our receivers can't be denied as having an impact. Obviously some of this is on Taylor too, but it's not as simple as Taylor can't and will never throw deep.
Bing Bong Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 who's the worst starter, Hundley or Savage? I would have said Savage a week ago

Possibly Howard deserves to be in the top six. Howard, Kamara, Freeman, and Ajayi are clearly better than Gordon and Fournette, who has been underwhelming for the fourth overall pick, and is looking like a guy who will spend a large part of his career on the injured list, just like he did in college. Gurley is having a very good year, but he’s been mostly disappointing. Gordon is a decent back, but that’s about it. Disappointing given where he was drafted and pretty much proves my point.
Fadingpain Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 I just finished watching. What a crap game. Is there anyway we can qualify for the playoffs AND play Houston or Baltimore in the first playoff game? I think that is a playoff game we could win! Both of those teams are terrible.

Fournette is third in the league in yards per game and seventh overall. Kamara isn't even the best RB on his team. I love the guy and said so here but Ingram, another first rounder, is fifth in the league. Freeman is 21st. Ajayi was benched and traded for nothing. Gordon was fourth in yards from scrimmage last year and tenth this year.

Even though he’s had fewer touches, Kamara has more yards from scrimmage than Ingram, who is certainly a good back. Freeman’s total yards are down because he splits time with another late round pick, and Ajayi had a great year last year and has been very good again since he got out of Miami.

Edited 39 minutes ago by mannc Snag Ajayi when you get the opportunity. Hold onto shady until Tevin Coleman's contract is up and Falcons can't pay him after Freeman's monster contract. There is more scarcity in pretty much any other skill position.

Wayne Arnold Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Bills need to go 10-6 to make the playoffs. Which means Sunday is a must-win. A bad performance from the offense in a loss and we could see Peterman vs. the Colts the next week.

Peterman could not beat out Savage at Pittsburgh. That says quite a bit to me.

You are wrong, there's no maybe about it. As for when Peterman plays again, the Chiefs win probably pushes things back a week so he probably won't start now until the Dolphins game at the earliest. Depends on how well the defense plays.

Conceded. On to the now with Peterman exposed as nowhere close to being ready. He's not playing as a starter as long as the Bills are in contention.
