Hebert19 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I think when you looked at the schedule before the year and you do now it's much tougher than expected. Almost every team is playing better than expected or getting hot before they play us. Arizona is better than expected. Seattle is better or at least Russ is Chargers with Herbert is better...at least a tough game San Fran...playing great all of a sudden Miami is better than expected. Titans...better than expected. Pittsburgh...better than expected. Its been a damn gauntlet already and ain't getting any easier. 5 1 1 1
ALLEN1QB Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Dude you ain't kidding looks totally brutal!!!! Easiest games left are against the Patriots. Buckle up boys it's about to get real! How many games win the division 8-9? I think Miami pulled the plug on Fitz to early. Edited October 26, 2020 by ALLEN1QB
dorquemada Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 The Bills won a game they were supposed to win yesterday. That counts for something. They should beat the Pats.
Hebert19 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 Exactly. We 'should' beat pats x2 phins chargers broncos. That should get us in... We lose one of them and shot gets interesting.
TAinLack. Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 This game won't be easy.., Patriots will be ready. Can't think of the last time Patriots lost 3 game in row.

I always knew this was a tough schedule. The NFC West is the best division in football. The routes to wins for the Bills this year are our divisional games and the three AFC West games that are not against Patrick Mahomes. That gets you to 9 and probably wins the division. Then you have to try and nick a couple elsewhere to really show you are a good team. They already have one against the Rams. If they could grab another against Arizona or Seattle then this is still a potential 11 win team. 4
Brennan Huff Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 The good news is Miami and New England’s remaining schedule is also tough. Just gotta win the division 1 1

Not optimistic about Cards, Niners, Seahawks or Steelers. 1
Greg S Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) If not for Russell Wilson I don't think the Seahawks are all that great. It will be a tough game because the Bills have their flaws but it is certainly winnable. Allen with Diggs, Brown ( I assume he will be healthy), Beasley, Singletary should be able to move the ball and score as well. Last night's Cards 37-34 win is what I could see with the Bills-Hawks game. As for the Cards they are up and down. They lost to Detroit at home but then beat Seattle. Who knows what to expect. The Bills can beat them. The two games I think the Bills are in trouble are Pitt and SF. Both physical teams who will beat up the Bills on both sides of the ball. Pitt will for sure. Depends if SF's D is healthy or not. If it is then they will do the same. Edited October 26, 2020 by Greg S
BreezeMafia Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 While Seattle and Arizona can score, their D's are vulnerable, like ours is, of course. When John Brown gets back 100% healthy, I feel it will re-ignite our offense because of his speed over the top. We will get back top putting up more points then we have been. 1

Not optimistic about Cards, Niners, Seahawks or Steelers. Agree that is the most likely route to 10. If we can rediscover something on offense I do give us a shot against Seattle. Their D is horrible. The defensive line is getting pushed around at least as much if not more than our own. When do they get Adams back? Anyone know?

We lose one of them and shot gets interesting. Maybe, but who is beating us out in the division? The Dolphins have played the easy part of their schedule and are only 3-3 - they have maybe 3-4 more wins - so 6-10 or 7-9. The Pats if things get corrected have 5 more wins potentially on their schedule - that gets them to 7-9. I still see the Bills as a 9 win team just as I did at the start and I do not see any other AFC East team getting more than 7 wins and therefore we should lock in a #4 seed.
BigBuff423 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Honestly, except for Miami, they've all been basically what I thought. Arizona was only getting better with Hopkins and that Defense was going to improve with the players they added, Seattle has been a good team since Carroll arrived, Titans were in the AFC Title game and added Clowney and didn't lose anyone substantial so not sure why you thought that wasn't going to be tough, Steelers got Big Ben back along with spending resources on the likes of Claypool and re-signed a couple of their premiere Defense players and conversations with people that in my mind they were / are the second best team in the AFC, and the 49ers pre-injuries were a Super Bowl team. So, except for the Chargers, there's not a team on that list that I didn't think would be a hard win. Even Miami, with the improvement they'd shown last year and all of the talent they infused on that roster, I thought would be a much improved team and they are.....or were, with Fitzy - now, we have to wait and see. 2

Hell, everyone will be a lot better than the Jets. 1

Exactly. If you actually watch the other 31 teams it really isn't as hard as some people out to work our before a season who is good, who is okay and who is bad. There are always one or two who over / under perform but for the most part teams are who we thought they were. 2 minutes ago, Wayne Cubed said: It’s his groin so they don’t want to rush him back but it could be this next week or week after.

Can't think of the last time the Patriots just looked like a bad team. If this roster was literally on any other team, we would be talking about how easy this game should be. Because it's the Patriots and they have tortured us for 20 years, we still treat them like they are the SB Champs with Tom Brady and are unbeatable. They suck. Treat them like the bad team they are and slap them around. 2
