Predict 2nd half of season

[Doc Brown]

There's a lot of pessimism after these two division wins following two discouraging losses. 

 

However, we're 6-2, 4-0 in the division, and have a clear path to host our first playoff home game since the Clinton administration.  What are your predictions for the rest of the season?  Here's mine.

 

Seattle - L - Offense will get back on track with a more favorable matchup without a monsoon.  Wilson is too much for this defense and we lose in a shootout Seahawks 41, Bills 31.

@Cardinals - W - Give me this offense against a suspect defense in a dome every time.  I see a similar game to the one we played in Vegas.  Bills 38, Cardinals 27.

 

Bye - We fricken need the bye as we'll be banged up the next couple of games.

 

Chargers - W - This is the game where we deliver an unexpected blowout.  We match up well against this team and we give the rookie QB fits.  Bills 34, Chargers 13.

@49ers - L - Not a good matchup for our defense with the 49er's dominating rushing scheme.  This one could get ugly  49ers 43, Bills 18.

Steelers - L - A much better effort but their defense does just enough to limit the Bills offense to under three TD's.  Steelers 28, Bills 20.

@Broncos - W - will be hearing we're a paper tiger by the national media all week.  Bills come out hungry and win.  Bills 27, Broncos 17

@Patriots - W - Our first prime time win of the year against a Patriots team that may be sellers at the deadline coming up.  Bills 24, Patriots 21

Dolphins - W - Josh Allen puts up 400 plus yards again and we secure the #3 seed in the playoffs with a revenge home game against the covid Titans in the playoffs.  Bills, 42, Fins 24

 

We finish 11-5 and host the Titans as the Colts take that division.

we almost have to have this outcome. There may be no room for error to drop a game we should win.
 

So far this year, this team has won every game it “should” have won— which is a great testament to the entire team and especially the coaches. we just need to keep doing this. 

[TheCockSportif]

I still say 10-6 or 11-5.  Right now playoff output looks tenuous to me.  I need to see a few more weeks to see how the D, in particular, has been able to adjust.

The Bills are entering the meat grinder portion of their schedule.

 

I see a 3-5 finish for a 9-7 record and a division championship.

 

Seahawks- Loss

Cardinals- Loss

Chargers- Win

49ers- Loss

Steelers- Loss

Broncos- Win

Patriots- Loss

Dolphins- Win

I said 7-9 after a similar exercise a few weeks ago but since we beat the Pats today we might go 8-8 since I thought this would be a loss.

 

Upcoming schedule is simply brutal and I thought the only possible win and game will be favored in is the Chargers but man does that team and QB look good today and wouldn't be surprised if they came into Buffalo and destroy this team.

 

Chargers are the ONLY POSSIBLE WIN?  The Broncos are terrible and we get the Pats and Dolphins again, both of whom we already beat.

I think 4-4 will be a good outcome. We need to sweep the AFCE and beat Denver and the Chargers, which won't be easy.

4-4.   We’ll lose one of the two divisional games to end the season.  As well as 2 of the remaining 3 NFC games, and either against Pittsburgh or LA.

He's a known/outed troll.  He just is never happy and wants to see the Bills lose no matter what.  After every win he seems to update his win/loss prediction by 1 win.  Just moving the goal posts to fit his narrative.  

[BillsFan130]

I see 4 potential wins:

 

-DEN

-LA

-MIA

-NE

 

Got to win 3 of those. 

 

I can’t see them beating Seattle, ARZ, SF, Pits, 

[dgrochester55]

Seahawks-One of the tougher teams and too many weapons for the defense as it is now-Loss   6-3

 

Cardinals-Part of me sees Murray carving up the defense, but the Cardinals are a very hot and cold team I feel like we catch them on the right day Win 7-3

 

BYE

 

Chargers-Herbert will make this tough, but I think that he makes enough mistakes to make this a win   Win 8-3

 

49ers-I think that we either win this or Arizona, but not both.    San Fran will be healthier and I could see us catching them on a hot streak  Loss 8-4

 

Steelers- Another tough matchup which I feel will be closer than Seattle but still a loss    Loss 8-5

 

Denver-A low scoring game which could be one of the few where Buffalo D looks dominant   Win 9-5

 

New England-At this point,  New England will be checked out and Buffalo will win without much trouble   Win 10-5

 

Miami-Buffalo will have the division clinched while Miami is 8-7 and battling for the last playoff spot.   Buffalo is likely resting their starters while Miami is going all out  Loss 10-6

SF has looked bad in half of their games.  That's a very winnable game.

I just don’t like the matchup. They are a heavy run team. 
 

And we all know how bad the bills run defence is lol.

[NewEra]

If we continue to get injuries at key positions, which I assume will happen, I’ll go 9-7.

 

i think we’ll lose 4 in a row close out with 3 wins against Denver, Miami and New England to win the division. 
 

if we get everyone back and stay relatively healthy, We’ll beat SD to go 10-6 and possibly even the cardinals if we get more than one turnover and don’t turn it over

Oh I agree that their strength is our weakness and it will be a tough one, potentially a blowout.  But they have laid some eggs and they're laying another one right now.

8-0

Very true and good point.

[Pitch left]

9-7 is the best this team will do - old Dline/no stopper upfront; inconsistent offense

[whatdrought]

Seattle: L - Though I'm not convinved. Shootout, could go either way. 

Arizona: W - I like our chances here. These two games will put Josh back in the MVP conversation.

Bye: W - I didn't like the late bye in April, now I do. Give me 7-3 into the bye and a chance to get healthy for the stretch run. 

LA Chargers: W - Herbert's amazing, but we'll come out strong from the bye and our defense will begin a late season surge.

49ers: W - Run defense will struggle, but look at what Seattles passing game is doing to them. 

Steelers: L - I think this could go either way (I genuinely don't see any clear wins on our schedule) but I think the physicality of the Steelers defense will get the better of us. 

Broncos: W - Seems like a defensive struggle, but could turn into a similar result as last year 20-3 or something along those lines.

Patriots: W - Full rebuild mode coming for the Pats. Their will to play will be even more broken, I doubt Cam is playing, Stidham is worse. 

Dolphins: W - We play this game for an outside chance at homefield, which we miss, but we come out and win trying to get there.

 

12-4, number three seed behind Chiefs and Steelers (titans fall off down the stretch). We host the Ravens in Wildcard round. 

[LABILLBACKER]

10-6 and no better.

We're not beating Sea, SF, Arz or Pitt. Maybe very close "cardiac ugly" wins against Chargers, Denver, NE & Miami. We'll win the AFCE but depending on who we draw could be in trouble. After these last 4 weeks my level of optimism for this team has been hit hard.
