OK before you comment and tell me that there is no way they make the playoffs they suck etc... I got it. I think they win somewhere between 4-6 games so I am not saying they make it. BUT the path truthfully looks something like this if they want to have a real shot:

 

Wk 6 Win at Texans Watson doesn't play 

Wk 7 Win at Colts Luck is held in by our D and still shaky

Wk 10 Win at Jets

Wk 13 Win at Miami

Wk 14 Win vs Jets

Wk 15 Win vs Detroit

Wk 17 Win vs Miami

 

This would give them a 9-7 record and 7-5 conference record. Given how bad the AFC is that would keep them in the hunt. If they somehow could get to 10 wins and pickup a win specifically against the Jags which would boost their conference record to 8-4 things would be solid. 

 

Realistically those are the games they have probably the best chance to take at this point no one is predicting wins against NE and CHI/JAX look pretty formidable at this point.

From what I’m reading it seems the fan base will be upset if the bills make the playoffs. They are really hoping for a bust season so you know...  there is progress.

I like them vs Bears at home, and Jacksonville.  Boom, 11-5!  And if we could split Pats . . . .

 

But I don't think we best both Jets and Fish 2x - one loss in those 4, minimum.

I can see us sweeping Miami and splitting with the Jets.

As is tradition.

No, we actually read the OP where he immediately addresses that and predicts we will only have 4-6 wins.

My initial thought was "you're insane", but looking at the schedule it seems within the realm of possibility.  I still think this is a 4-6 win team at best, but I thought the same last year.  This week will be telling.  Houston is definitely beatable.  Need to stack two in a row here before I'll start to really consider it.

Judging by the way this fan base reacts, week to week, I'd hazard a guess and say, that these "predications" will ebb and flow as the season progresses..  ;)

 

 

Let's win Sunday and revisit this, shall we?

Given we are already down a H2H tiebreaker against Baltimore and the Chargers, I think our best (only) shot at the playoffs is a Brady injury and 8 or 9 wins taking the division.

Lol... making the playoffs would mean the Bills offense managed to come alive, so no Bills fan would be upset by that development. No playoffs but obvious progress would also be an acceptable outcome given the Bills roster.

Don't agree with the AFC being weak this year. Small sample size but 8 teams with winning records vs 4 for the NFC. At this early point the WC looks to be some combination of the AFC North and the Chargers IMO.

They need 7 more wins. Maybe 8. 

 

There are realistically only 9 potential wins. Best scenario.

 

 

Win 5 of these 6

 

Colts

Texans 

Jets  x2 

Dolphins x2

 

 

Win 2 of these 3 

 

Jaguars (Home)

Bears (Home)

Lions (Home)

Remember KC/LAC CIN/BAL all have to play each other and the schedule will balance out some W/Ls as we go.
