The game in Foxboro will be a mini-playoff game. Miami's schedule has only two losses left: KC, Bills, Patsies ... pick two. 8-3 looks pretty haughty today. But this will be a slugfest until the end of the season. Your putting a W in vs Raiders ? I think the last 4 will be tough 2-2 or 1-3 for Miami.
CincyBillsFan Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 The Bills making a deep playoff run this year is no less likely than thinking that Tennessee would make a deep playoff run at this time last season. 2

Good point. It's one game at a time and a lot of crazy stuff can happen in one football game.
QLBillsFan Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Agree. Outside of KC it’s anyone’s opportunity in AFC. Bills have 5 games to improve as do the other contenders. If JA brings his sharp mindset, smoke is back, and Bills continue to pressure QB’s they are in the mix. 1

They feel hungry. The defense walking off the field at the end of the yesterday had some swagger. I feel we are closer to a deep playoff run than a first round bounce. Its all about peaking. In both 2007 and 2011 the giants were not world beaters but got kind of healthy and hot going into last few games of the season....not saying we are them but sometimes it's about the pieces coming together at the right time. See Flacco and ravens. Etc. This D continues to get better and Josh gets hot and I'm not scared of KC. 15 minutes ago, QLBillsFan said: Your putting a W in vs Raiders ?

Fitz is an accident waiting to happen and Tua is well...not good.

Dr. K Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 2 hours ago, thurst44 said: And any given Sunday, someone could get past KC. Juggernaut teams don't ALWAYS win the Super Bowl. We all know what happened to the 16-0 Patriots and the 15-1 1988 Vikings and 2005 Steelers did not even make it that far. KC has won its last three games by 3, 4, and 2, and the 2 was against a Panthers team that had lost three in a row going into that game. They only beat the Bills by an almost identical score to the one many fans here are bemoaning was not enough against the Chargers. Chiefs are a great team, but they are hardly invincible. I will go so far as to say the Chiefs won't repeat as NFL champs. They are the favorite for the Super Bowl but they could easily not get there.

CincyBillsFan Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Just now, Jobot said: Tennessee didn't hit it's stride until the last quarter of the season. That's my point. Some posters were acting like saying the Bills could go on a deep playoff run was crazy. Well it's no more crazy then saying after 11 games last year that the Titans would be going on a deep run. 2
goldenboy81 Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 If they healthy with j brown and milano, then yes this could be a scary team to face come playoff time

Had to look it up, but Tennessee was 6-5 through 11, so I would think you'd get a good amount of eye rolls saying that this about Tennessee at this point last year. 1

I mean yeah its fun to imagine a deep playoff run and as fans we're inclined to fantasize both the best and worst case scenarios. But Ive been a Bills fan way too long to take anything for granted there are just way too many unknown variables between now and next week forget the playoff scenarios. And not just our teams unknown variables but others too. 1
london_bills Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Bills joint 2nd in first downs gained, behind the chiefs, tied with chargers.
Kenosha2Buffalo Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Figuring out the run and defense is prepping for just that ,you're damn right sir. Seems to be happening, who knows if we actually do it.

Certainly will be super competitive with anyone left on the regular schedule. Plus, home field advantage means squat with no fans, so playoffs are pretty much neutral field games. Go get em bills. Kc might be a better team but they don't scare me one bit. There's not a team in the league that we couldn't win 5 out of 10 times again... probably a crap metric to throw out there, but im saying any given Sunday. If we get hot in the playoffs we could absolutely win it all... big if, but we've never seen a team that we could say that about in my lifetime 1
Thurman#1 Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 6 hours ago, Hebert19 said: This is actually a team that could peak in Jan! Just my 2 cents. Why would anyone not think so? The power rankings all have them between about #5 and #9. Of course they're gearing up for it. How much they achieve is another matter, but outside the Steelers and Chiefs they're as good as any team in the conference.
BADOLBILZ Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 They are well positioned..........their style of defense should benefit from the time together and the late bye was great...........if they can stay healthy and mostly covid-free and keep winning until Brown and Milano can come back to full strength they will have a punchers chance against the field. And in a year where anyone could find themselves off-balance in the playoffs........that punchers chance is greater than normal. 2
Buffalo Boy Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 3 hours ago, Limeaid said: My worries is we get in playoffs, team takes care of themselves well and a team like Ravens or Titans is our opponent and they do not take care again. Are playoff games gong to be rescheduled or postponed? We clearly got screwed with the Titans getting competitive advantage for not taking proper Covid safety seriously. I would hope that teams get the message after watching he Broncos this week. I also hope the league makes teams play whomever they can in the playoffs or forfeit. The only other recourse is to have a bubble at a neutral site which I can’t imagine them doing.
whatdrought Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Nah. Member when the Patriots went 19-0? Proof positive that the team everyone expects to win the SB on December 1st always does and no plucky wild cards or overlooked division leaders ever stand a chance.

Augie Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 On to the 49’ers. Why is this so hard? 🤷♂️ It’s the only way I can manage my hopes and expectations. That could just be me. To each their own.
