We're not "on the cusp" of anything other than a playoff spot at the moment If we are on the cusp of a playoff, we are also on the cusp of winning the AFC East...We made the playoffs 2 of the past 3 seasons....we last won the East in 1995...so it is a big deal 1
Nelius Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Feels like a 12-4 season to me. A 12-4 Bills team that nobody wants to see in the playoffs. What a thing to type, but we're here. 1
BringBackFlutie Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 13-3. Book it. This is a super bowl team. It's okay. We can say it.
Big Turk Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Of course they CAN do it. They will be favored in all the remaining games.
H2o Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I thought, and stuck with, 11-5 at the beginning of the year and throughout the bye week. But if this team keeps playing like they have been post Hail Murray, then we very well could end up 13-3. Hopefully after that a few more on the way to a Lombardi. 1

You could *maybe* make this thread if we were 12-3 (if you don't care about jinxes). There's still nearly 20% of the season left. We're not "on the cusp" of anything other than a playoff spot at the moment 🥱 Cusp, Verge pure semantics. Maybe it’s you who that provides the jinx 💭 the question is. Do you think that they will run the table? Yes or no. It’s an easy question

The most likely L right now looks like Miami with Barkley under center. But our remaining games are all games that we'll be favored in. I'm not sure. Seems the 2 vs 3 seed will likely be in play (unless Pitt loses twice...which would mean losing to Cincinnati), and I THINK that would matter to them.....but maybe not. 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Freaking Hail Murray! The situation I want to avoid at all costs is playing Miami with our B team in a win and you're in game for Miami in which we will play them again the following week. It's been a while but I remember that same scenario about 10 years ago the Jets played the Bengals. Bengals already clinched so they didn't play hard. Jets won and following week the Jets beat the Bengals again. Miami's defense is legit. I don't see Allen having as easy a day as he did back in week 2. Don't want to give Miami any confidence they can come into Buffalo in January and win. 1

One Hail Mary play away from the chance of breaking the record. 1993 12-4-0 1st -- AFC East - Made it to the Superbowl Marv Levy 1991 13-3-0 1st -- AFC East - Made it to the Superbowl Marv Levy 1990 13-3-0 1st -- AFC East - Made it to the Superbowl Marv Levy 1988 12-4-0 1st -- AFC East - Made it to the Conference Championship Marv Levy Pre-season I had thought 12 - 4 was a lofty goal. In fairness the two 13-3 season, the Bills had clinched the #1 overall seed with one or two weeks to go and played mostly subs. That 1990 season, their last game Gail Gilbert played QB and lost to Washington, they didn't even bother going to Reich, in 91 Reich did play the last game and lost to Detroit. If it had mattered, they may have won the last game. The 88 season, recall they cliched the division around Thanksgiving weekend, then went and lost 3 of their last 4 games. I recall if they had won even one of those last four games the AFC championship game would have also been played in Buffalo instead of in Cinni where they lost. They lost to the Bengals 3 times that year, pre-season, regular season, and AFC championship game. Last game this year also could become meaningless, but not very likely as either could be playing for a chance to move up to the #2 seed or with a loss drop to #4. The one way it could become meaningless is if the Bills get flexed to the Sunday night game as all the results are then in. Likely for that same reason would make more sense for the Bills to play the Fish at 4:00 and flex the Pitt-Cleveland game to Sunday night. Edited December 19, 2020 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch

They will be contenders for a while if they keep the caliber of players and coaching moving forward ????? It took Kelly how many seasons to get to this type of record? 1

I believe they can, bro. I was thinking before the stealer game, that if they beat the Steelers, I thought that they could run the table and go 13-3. It starts today! 1

SirAndrew Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 13-3 would be nice, and I’m really hoping to see the starters every game. I hate resting starters before the playoffs when you don’t have a team who’s experienced with deep playoff runs. Allen and this offense seem to be very momentum driven, and I want to carry some into the playoffs. 1

If the BYE week was early I could see wanting to rest them one caveat week 17 play the starters for at least a half. Edited December 19, 2020 by SlimShady'sSpaceForce 1
