I'm shocked we are still in 7 seed.  When I took a closer look Cleveland and Cincinnati both look like they will end up with the same or similar conference records...

 

We have a better SOV than both which is shocking.  Keep winning KC and Miami. Ha

 

So based on this we win 3 of 4 we should be good for 6 or 7 seed.  

 

Anything I'm missing?

The good thing is they control their own fate. The schedule is pretty favorable with three at home and one on the road. The Bills will be solid favorites in their home games. Today's Daily News has the Bills as a 9.5 favorite over Carolina.

I'd still be shocked if we don't make the playoffs. All of the teams in the WC race have tough schedules coming up, and they all basically play each other multiple times.

 

The game I'm most interested in is Colts/Pats. That's a win-win for the Bills. Either NE puts a 7th loss on Indy, or Indy sets it up so we still have a shot at the division the following week (if we take care of business against the Panthers).

 

Pats fans online were pretty universal in celebrating their big division win yesterday. I don't think they were doing the math.

Sorry to be that guy, but let's see if it's going to be Mitch Trubisky Time before we get too excited about playing ANYbody.....

With Trubisky I still think they beat the Panthers. Cam sucks, no McCaffrey and the Panthers were "impressive" in the 29-21 loss at home to Atlanta. The Bills will definitely need Josh vs NE however.

I wish I shared your optimism, but until I see Trubisky actually WIN a game with the Bills, it's really hard to put any stock into a guy who has played VERY little this season....

Win our and NE Drop 1 to (Indy, Jax, or MIA), and you are the AFCE Champions. That should be your goal.

 

Win out and no matter what else happens you are in the Playoffs and have at least 1 Home playoff game.

so if we make the playoffs at the sixth or seventh seed we get the 2nd or 3rd seed on the road - NE, Tenn, or KC ?   

 

Don't give the division to NE just yet. They have a tough one on the road against the Colts this Saturday night. If the Colts win ( a good chance this happens) and the Bills win on Sunday vs the Panthers then get ready for a week of hype with the 8-6 Bills at the 9-5 Pats and a battle for first.

He was a decent starter on an otherwise crappy team for 3-4 years, so it's not like he's a rookie or a career backup. And he has a similar playing style to Josh, so there's no need to completely revamp the offense around him.

 

With that said, after the Jags game, I see nothing as a gimme this season. But if the rest of the team plays well, I don't see Mitch losing the Panthers game for us.

Hope you're right!  🤞

I don't know if I want this Bills team in the playoffs.  It doesn't seem like they're built for a deep run.

First sentence doesn't make sense. Either you want any Bills team in the playoffs or you are really wierd fan.

 

Second sentence I strongly disagree. We are losing all close games this season. It will not last forever. I'd say we are actually ready for deep playoff run. I have no doubts whatsoever that this team can end up 7th seed, and then go and win road games vs Titans, Patriots and Chiefs.

 

Not to mention that I strongly believe we are still likely to win the division.
