Bills will win out. And then...anything can happen

[BillsVet]

I'm guessing not many here figured after the TB game Buffalo would need to win out to make the playoffs.

 

Oh, to be a fan and suspend oneself from reality on a frequent basis...

Bills will win out, make the playoffs and play Tampa in Super Bowl.

Seriously how many loses does a team need to "wake up".  Here is a thought, maybe we just aren't that good and last year was a mirage.

 

Lost to the effin Jags this year... Zero confidence this team wins out 

They woke up in the second half.

Yeah saw that. Shocking since he finished the game and looked good doing so. Got to believe it is nothing but then why have the boot right? 

 

Lets hope it’s a “manage the pain” type of injury. if they find any kind of fracture in there it’s Trubisky time.  And we get start dusting off the mock draft boards.

No doubt they did as could be said for other games where we went out and won a week after a bad loss only to fall asleep again and lose the week after that... Inconsistent is their MO for most of the season and I don't see that changing

That Pats game in a few days will be interesting AF…

Especially if they lose to the Colts.

Turbitzky could feel in for a week against the Panthers and Bills might win. But a fracture could be longer. I think Josh would gut it out though until the season was over and take the off-season to recover.

Thinking it is better the Colts lose and Bills just handle their own business against the Pats. Bills can own tiebreakers over the Pats but not over the Colts.

[dpberr]

They *have* to win out.

 

The now is here in the now or never.

 

[clearwater cadet]

yeah but then we’d have to hope the Pats drop another game besides the Buffalo one.

Definitely not winning out. 2 more wins at best and we might be without Josh.

3 wins. Have you looked at the schedule? We have the Panthers, Falcons and Jets all at home. Only game we're losing in the last 4 is the Pats game

Even with Josh fit and healthy I still think we go 3 and 1 at best. Believe Belichick has our number and have doubts we’re strong enough to overcome that at the moment.

3 and 1 is highly likely to get us into the playoffs.

If we play NE like we played in second half tonight, we'll beat NE by a couple TDs.

It might be the best thing for this team to get in as a WC and not have a home game. Maybe avoid bad weather and win on the road in the playoffs. SB is in  doors…might works out well.

after what happened with Jacksonville, we can’t take anything for granted.

 

That being said, I think they’ll take care of business against the three non-New-England opponents.

That was a one off. Trust me, this team is too talented to have it happen twice 

[Bookie Man]

If they put an effort into s running game, absolutely. A running game is a qbs best friend, especially on the road. It’s unfair to 17 how one dimensional this offense is. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Don't see it. They left everything on the field today and couldn't get it done.  The players saw McDermott fake a punt and then punt on 4th and 3 down 14.    They have no faith in this clown of a HC.  My guess is 2-2.

Pats beat the Colts you need them to lose to either Jags or Miami. I don’t see that happening this year. Not with this D

[Ross Murdock]

Josh had to play like a possessed maniac.... And they still lost!!    The Bills would need a similar Allen effort to beat the Pats, How many more of these kind of games can he possibly have in him, and do we have ANY right to expect this kind of play? That Jags game is an absolute killer. Among the five 7-6 teams. The Bills have the WORST conference record except for the Bronco's who are pretenders anyway. A loss to the Pats and were really in a bad spot.

Actually, as long as we win the 3 "easy" games, we've got a great shot at making the playoffs.

 

@ 88% chance according to NY Times.

 

Beating the Patriots would be 100% chance, and much preferred, however.

 

If we play NE like we played in the second half tonight, we'll beat them by 2 TDs +.

 

Mac has had a great rookie year, but he ain't no Tom Brady, and he ain't no Josh Allen either.
