bills would beat the titan 9 times out of 10, and the titan already used there 1.  

 

Actually aren’t they 2 for 2 against us lately?

 

If memory serves I think Josh is 1-2.

No, what you are saying is what’s known as a malapoop. I had the phrase correct.

yet somehow they don't or cant run it up the middle for 1 yard when they need it, that is very troubling

They can and have.

I totally agree with you about NE not being a walk in the park. There are way too many posters on here thinking we are just going to to walk to a 14-3 record and trying to figure out tie breaker scenarios in friggin week 6. There are 11 more games to play and our Bills are just as likely to lay an egg against an inferior team as the Titans are. It’s any given Sunday and I’m kind of shocked at the hubris displayed. I fully expect us to make the playoffs but trying to predict where we are going to end up based on our schedule and say the Titans schedule is ridiculous. Gotta play the games, 1 game at a time.

 

 

I disagree that they are "just as likely" to lay an egg as the Titans.    The Titans style of play,  their personnel and the history of their HC and QB make them more likely to lose games they have no business losing,  IMO.   They've already showed that against the Jets.   They are a winning organization overall,  but they are also characterized by that same inconsistency that they exhibited versus NYJ.    The longer the season, the more likely that is to hurt them.

 

The Bills could be in two close dogfights with New England and could end up losing others but I highly doubt they get beaten by a Jets or Jaguars or Dolphins type team.

I still believe we are a far better team.

Not worried about the Titans. They are going to have at least 3 more losses.

 

Have you seen their remaining schedule?

 

The Titans have to have the easiest remaining schedule in the league... Aside from an NFC team in the Rams, who are their losses coming from? I get they lost by 3 points to the Jets, but can we really rely on the Jags, Texans, or Colts to knock them off? What about the Dolphins or Saints? Maybe the Pats continue to improve & take them down, but that sucks too lol

I mean we did fine against Baltimore who are a very similar team.

They don't. The Bills do.

No, the Bills have "one of," not THE easiest. 

 

Titans have the easiest - http://www.tankathon.com/nfl/remaining_schedule_strength

 

Edit: Also, that wasn't even the point of the post you replied to. The poster I responded to said the Titans will lose "at least 3 more games." They have the tie-breaker against us, and have an easier remaining schedule. Assuming they will face "at least" 3 more losses is silly.

The Titans were with out both starting WR , and a few on defense and any team can lose any given Sunday. I don’t like the Titans at all my self but to act like there not playing good,or they can lose to a lesser team and the bills can’t is ridiculous!!! 

[Joe Ferguson]

If the factor is the weather in the post season, then we should root for Colts, Chargers and Raiders to be the top seeders.

It's not about whether the Titans "can" lose to a much lesser team.........it's knowing that they already have and probably will again.

Not worried about the Titans, Henry had one good game against them. He won't be the same in the playoff at Bills stadium... If they get that far.

 

Totally agree. We'd beat them in the playoffs. 

[Buffalo Junction]

Titans look good ATM with everyone healthy. However, they are not insulated against skill position injury. An injury to Henry, Brown, or Jones and that offense comes back down to earth rather quickly. The first part of their season showed this. Factor in Jones’ injury history, and it’s unlikely that they stay at the level they’re currently at for the entirety of the season. We’ll see how it plays out over the next few months.

Not sure about that with Henry and two very good receivers they are dangerous.

[GETTOTHE50]

The Bills beat themselves against the Titans. If McD is a decent coach, then he wont lose to THAT team twice in a season.

 

Settling for FGs, Josh's slip, and McDs game management all screwed us.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the Bills will have the one seed, deal with it!

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

I would never not want to be the 1 seed but this was pretty logical I thought as a silver lining.  The dbs have to try to run in the snow too though so snow is beneficial to a pass offense if you get to practice in it

The titans really aren’t built for late season success…they ride Derrick Henry way too hard during the regular season to stay competitive.  There’s a good reason why you don’t see any other teams around the league with the one feature back setup

While I agree with you to a point.  Henry did well in the playoffs a couple years ago.  The guy is a unicorn.  The team can be a hard out, they play hard.
