billsredneck1 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) i really believe our only chance at the post season is if we can somehow beat the pats and then go 10-6. here's my feelings on how things will go elsewhere. afc west i can see the bolts running the table and at 10-6, i believe that would give them the division. i can also see kc going 10-6 but hopefully they drop one they shouldn't, like this upcoming jets game or somehow go 9-7. i don't think oakland has a chance. afc north i really think baltimore will lose 3. lions, steelers and cincy. i'm not worried about cincy they have a tough stretch ahead. afc south. i can't see either the jags or the titans losing more than 2 of their remaining games. both at 10-6 i can't see 9-7 claiming any wild card spot. we have got to...(oh God dear please!) beat the pats once and there's no way that in the 2nd to last game, will they be resting starters,especially against us. if we lose on sunday, the new question should be when and where to give peterman another look and/or chance to redeem himself. i think 10-6 and the tie breaker over the chiefs is our only way in. this is all just based on my having looked at each teams remaining schedule so i'm not claiming to be mistake free.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I really don't think the Chiefs are getting to 10-6, especially if they lose to San Diego. I think it's Baltimore or bust. Unfortunately there is a decent chance we both go 9-7 and they get the tie breaker. How sick would that be after 18 years.

I think most people are looking at Baltimore and are banking on Steelers and Detroit being losses. But I also think both Indy and Cincy are much tougher games than for the Ravens than one would initially think. I think the Ravens lose at least one of those two games. But then again, they also might actually split with Detroit and Pittsburgh.

I think the Chiefs are falling off a cliff. They lost to the GIANTS!!! So they will not make the playoffs. your race is with Baltimore, I agree on 2 certain losses then the Bills need them lose to either the Colts (Brissett isn't a bad QB just raw) or Cincy.

How sick would that be after 18 years. the chargers could and probably will be their only loss though...hopefully the jets defense can pull it off though. who knows i just don't think baltimore is going to cut it. detroit can outscore them and they need the win. no chance at pitt...cincy would be the perfect spoiler for them and even indy may give them a run. either way 9-7 i don't think will do it.

Dude, they aren't scoring points! There are ZERO easy games left for them. I mean they scored 9 against the Giants and 10 against you guys.
LeGOATski Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 The odds are against the Bills, so don't get your hopes up. I'm just hoping for exciting football. They've already exceeded most people's expectations, which drought or no drought, has been nice. They should be able to build upon this season and a new QB next year. 4 minutes ago, PatsFanNH said: Dude, they aren't scoring points! There are ZERO easy games left for them.

SaviorPeterman Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I still think that both the Jags and Titans are a lock, regardless who wins the division. So it still boils down to one spot left and looks like it will in fact be the Ravens. Flacco is a shell of himself and their offense is terrible but they have a defense that is capable of carrying them which is what everybody expected the Bills to do the last few years with Rex Ryan and now McD. If the Ravens beat the Lions this week (the first team they've faced in weeks with a competent QB) it's definitely over unless a miracle happens and the Bills find a way to upset the Patriots.

Doesn't look like it at this point, unfortunately for them looks like a step back season but they've had their own issues with QB and injury. Goes to show just how valuable Ryan Tannenhill was to that team after all. Either way still think their future is brighter than most teams (maybe even the Bills too) with the Tannebaum/Gase combo in place.
Fadingpain Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 If we are to accept the OP's premise that we need to get to 10-6 to make the playoffs, that means we must win 4 out of our last 5 games. How many times has this franchise won 4 of 5 in a 5 game stretch, in the second half of the season, in the last 20 years? We actually did it in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, and 2006. In 2006, we lost to the Chargers which broke up what would have been a 5 game winning streak including wins over Houston, Jacksonville, Jets, and Dolphins, from Week 11 to Week 15. That's our most recent late season run of 4 wins in 5 games. Maybe we can do it again this year!?

I think Cinci could beat them, the Bills really need to take care of the Phins x2 and Colts. I mean, if the Pats could do us a solid and rest starters in week 16 that'd be great. I'll also add that Tennessee has not been impressive and have 3 possibly 4 losses on their schedule. Even so, say the Ravens/Titans/Bills all finish 9-7. The Bills would get the nod over Tennessee to the 6th seed. Sincerely, Bills fans everywhere Edited November 30, 2017 by Captain Murica

OR it just goes to show you how lucky they got last year/how good their defense played/how over rated the Dolphins were last year "Tannenbaum/Gase combo" - ummm....what? The dolphins are trash man, and will be in overhaul mode maybe as quick as next season
ndirish1978 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 The only way we upset the patriots is through namecalling, we're not beating them.
