Antonio Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 My favorite part is at the end, when even with a win vs Miami we get to 7-9 insted of 8-8 hehe JK my friend, but I hope you are wrong. It could happend but I´m sure we can play with anybody and beat anybody. We just need to play more consistent football. 2
DCOrange Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I don't think this schedule looks all that daunting but maybe I'm wrong. I'm not saying the Bills are great, but all of those games are winnable to me. 3
BillsfanAZ Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 People go off the deep end here. The Bills lost to two of the top teams in the NFL. The Ravens have a much better defense than the Bills right now and got torched by the Chiefs. The Bills are not an elite team but that doesnt mean they arent a playoff team. Just win the AFCeast and go from there. To say they will lose both games to the Pats is Beaten Bills Syndrome. Denver came into NE and beat them with field goals.

Guarantee that Flores and the front office made this decision partly on what happened last night knowing they should have beat the Bills the first time a few weeks ago and are right in the thick on the playoff/division race now. I think it was their plan from the begining to start Tua right after the bye.

Like A Mofo Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I think 9-7 is likely when looking at that schedule

Greg S Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 18 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: I am down big time right now on the Bills but I think it is overkill. Bills are at least as good as the Pats, i think a split there is more reasonable. Also we can beat both the 49ers and Cardinals, plus there will be games we win in upsets. Overall i think 9-7 or 10-6 is more reasonable I am not down all that much. We lost to two teams with a combined 10-1 record. The Bills are a good team but they are not at an elite level yet. They also have issues to fix that probably won't be fixed until the offseason (draft, FA,). Truth is the red flags with this defense started with the Miami game and really showed itself against the Rams in the 2nd half. I still think they get to 10 wins. Win this week 5-2 with a shot at 6-2 vs the Pats next week. If the Bills can win B2B division games then they are in the drivers seat for the division. 1
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I come here for the Bills talk, but I stay for the over reactive drama after every loss. You realize that we would have most likely beat the Chiefs last night if that fumble in the 4th quarter would have counted, right? (it was close but they ultimately made the right call, unfortunately) And that was with us still not having figured out our run Defense yet. I have faith that McDermott and Frazier will get that figured out soon. The only 2 sure losses on that list in my opinion are the Seahawks and the Steelers. We have a chance in every other game on the schedule. We just lost to 2 very good teams. Way too early to assume the season is lost... Edited October 20, 2020 by buffaloboyinATL 2

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Nothing about this season is a given. The schedule is on a pattern. You know the opponents for an infinite number of years ahead of time. It’s easy to figure out. All last year I kept saying how hard this year was going to be. I will be very happy if we make the playoffs. It’s not a given and it’s not going to be easy. The playoffs are absolutely not a certainty. Our schedule is brutal. No let up. 1

Charles Romes Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 My main concern is the shameless Tanking by the Jets for Lawrence. I don’t want to play him twice a year for 15 years.
mjt328 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 49 minutes ago, High Football IQ said: I've been pondering the upcoming schedule a while now, and while this team is pretty much where I expected them to be through the first 6 games there is serious concern about how they may fare the rest of the way with many more TEN/KC type of teams and games left. And if the defense continues to be horrendous and Allen is regressing to the same guy we saw the first few years this could certainly be 2008/2011 all over again. So this is my take and curious what others believe will happen: @ Jets - W, 5-2 As bad as things are right now pretty sure this team will not struggle here but I certainly don't expect a 40-7 type of statement because that's not what McD teams do. If anything this will be one of his signature 27-17 type of 'blowouts' that we saw in week one. Patriots - L, 5-3 As dire as things may look for the Patriots, Belichik is still lurking and knows they are only one game behind the Bills in the loss column as of today. I expect them to rebound against the 49ers this week and embarrass this team in a few weeks which is when the wheels truly begin to come off as McD falls to 0-7 vs the Pats and Belichik and the Bills time atop the AFC East likely ends for good this year. Seahawks - L, 5-4 Another elite team up there with the Chiefs and Titans and even though their defense has also struggled we all know they'll look dominant against this team because that is the same story with the previous two weeks where a very poor defense on paper player their 'get on track' game against the Bills. @ Cardinals - L, 5-5 Another week, another great QB and offense. Not sure the Cardinals are in the same weight class yet as some of the other teams the Bills face but unless things change drastically with the Bills defense they simply won't be able to keep up here with Weapons like Drake, Hopkins and Murray. Bye Chargers - W, 6-5 Desperate coming out of the bye the Bills end a 3 game losing streak and stay in the playoff picture and Allen leads a late 4th quarter comeback against a Chargers team that probably isn't playoff bound this year but has been a tough out and in every game this year so far. @ 49ers - L, 6-6 Another tough primetime/west coast game that should be a close battle but the 49ers do enough to win to keep their season alive in a loaded division and conference and the we simply don't get it done in a game that was probably winnable. Steelers - L, 6-7 This may very well be the best team in the AFC and they will send a message here not only effectively ending the Bills season but getting revenge for the Bills doing the same to them last year barely beating a team led by 'Duck' Hodges. @ Broncos - W, 7-7 Denver will also likely be hanging on by a thread for any faint playoff hopes here but I could see this being the 'too little, too late' classic late season Bills dominant win (i.e. another McDermott 10 point margin of victory special). @ Patriots - L, 7-8 Even if there is a faint chance the Bills could still make the playoffs and/or win the division here it's not happening especially if Belichik and the Patriots are in the drivers seat and I get the feeling they will be even if this is not the Patriots teams of years past. Dolphins - L, 7-9 Whether they are in the playoff picture our not it will be another big blow to end the season realizing not only are their serious question marks about this franchise and current regime heading forward, bu the reality is they are going to behind both the Patriots and Dolphins in the division heading into the 2021 campaign, and oh by the way the Jets will likely be landing the next generational franchise QB with the #1 overall pick in Trevor Laurence. Not sure if you have actually seen these other teams play. Agreed the Bills have some big issues, and they are not as good as many of us were hoping/expecting. But most of the teams in the NFL are in the same boat. The Bills should still be favored to win against the Jets, Patriots, Cardinals, Chargers, Broncos, Patriots and Dolphins. It's quite possible they drop 1-2 of these. But it's also quite possible they win 1-2 games they are expected to lose. We are still a "Wild Card Level" team, fortunate enough to be in a crappy division that will only need 9-10 wins to emerge on top. The real problem is that we aren't good enough to beat the class of the AFC (Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, Titans), which likely means another early exit from the playoffs. 1

Ill reply later as I have some high level business meetings to attend right now. Lol, yeah there's a few who suddenly snap out of a deep slumber as soon as this team loses. "Very concerning" Covid and the economy are very concerning. This is a team in control of the AFC East that needs to make some adjustments. Edited October 20, 2020 by Nelius
