Browns (7-6) vs. Raiders (6-7)

 

Patriots (9-4) vs. Colts (7-6)

 

SUNDAY EARLY:

 

Titans (9-4) vs. Steelers (6-6-1)

 

Jets (Dumpster Fire) vs. Dolphins (6-7)

 

Bills (7-6) vs. Panthers (NFC, idk/idc)

 

SUNDAY LATE:

 

Bengals (7-6) vs. Broncos (7-6)

Not sure what scenario in regards to being best interest for Bills you were thinking here, but imo I would change 3 of those games here...

 

I'd rather want Raiders over Browns

 

Colts over Pats (no brainer to me) 

 

Steelers over Tenn

That Pats/Colts game really should tell us our best shot at seeding. Pats win and our only hope is to win out and hope the Dolphins beat the Pats again in the final week.

 

Colts win and we control our own destiny to the AFCE title.  I'm pulling for the Colts here since division is still in play and I feel like the Bills stand a great shot at winning out.

 

 

Yes, indeed...and no disrespected intended to the OP, but as a fan base can we please wrap our heads around...a New England loss on Saturday and the Bills control their own destiny for the playoffs AND the division."

I...I feel like you are trying to make a point but not sure what it is.

I will be watching Indy vs. NE with as much interest as I can remember in a LONG TIME for a non-Bills game.

 

I'm talking glued to my set and I wouldn't consider missing 5 minutes of the game for anything.

 

 

[Gugny]

Colts all the way.  If the Colts win Saturday and we win out, we win the division.

And watch, Hyde, just watch.  New England will then go out and DE-STROY Indy, with Wentz going 12-31, with three picks.

 

...Man I hate those New England sons-o'-*****es, I really do.

 

CAN ONE NFL TEAM PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS?!  I know, I know, the Bills still have to beat them themselves, but still.

 

Go Bills.

That sounds about right, Donuts. 

 

Then we would have to beat the Pats and hope like Hades Miami can nip them in the final week. Lots of roads still lead to the division title.

I can think of a LOT of things I'd miss 5 minutes of that game for. 😂😂

JAGUARS 9 - BILLS 6.  - STILL AN UNBELIEVABLY BAD LOSS. Bills do not recover from that stench. Finish 9-8.  Rousseau and Basham almost NO impact. Both belong on a milk carton. Oliver is no stud for a #9 pick, and is the definition of mediocrity. Epenesa and Ford are busts. Bills are paying the price this year, and likely next season as well for these horrendous early round whiffs.    

The young draft choices certainly haven't delivered. Epanesa just plain sucks. Oliver is Ok but not consistent or dependable. Certainly, not living up to his draft pick. Is Basham even on the team? Who is he? Hughes is pathetic and getting top dollar to do nothing. Rousseau flashed early and has now disappeared. Edmunds is terrible and not a starting lb. Star is often injured and not reliable. Besides Allen, Beane and the Bills brass has largely whiffed. However, getting the franchise QB is undeniable the biggest and most influential game changer. It was a brilliant risk reward scenario. You gotta give them credit beyond words. It almost makes you forgive their misses which every team has.

I would prefer to see Indianapolis beat the Pats. Bills need to beat New England , run the table and become AFC East Champions.

I mean, I'm already deeply annoyed about the "hope you enjoyed your 1 flukey year on top" comments from Pats fans online.

The Chiefs seem to have fixed their "failed" year nicely.

No reason we can't do the same thing.

 

4 wins to finish and the AFC East title would be excellent given the way this season has played out.

 

And we'd be peaking at the right time, heading into playoffs on a 4 game streak, which is perfect.

 

Gotta do it though!  No more talk; must perform now.

Rooting for the Patriots over Indy is the loser mentality....hoping for the wildcard. Indy needs to win and the Bills run the table.

I agree, bro. Good thoughts, go for it all. Don’t just settle.

You make a good point. At this point, I think im ready to settle for a playoff appearance. Anyway and anyhow. You never know what can happen. However, under any scenario it's difficult to think this team can make a deep playoff run. The lines have to improve somehow whether by schemes, making changes, or better execution. Come playoff time in colder weather the battle of the trenches will be even more important. I doubt Allen will be able to carry this team on his back. He needs help especially vs playoff teams. Thus far, the team is

7-6 with medicore and inconsistent play; especially since the break. Heck, look at the Tampa game. From game to game and now half to half I really have no idea what Bills team is going to show up. Last year, I felt excited and confident about the team. This year feels vastly different. 

 

A few things that give me hope. The way they played vs Tampa in the second half. It was the Josh Allen show! We need to see more of this with more Beasley and Davis. Timely and effective runs and misdirection plays. McKenzie should be playing. His speed is an asset. 

 

Secondly, there doesn't seem to be a dominant AFC team. KC is looking very dangerous. All other teams seem beatable on any given day. 

 

Go Bills

You definitely could be right, bro, they may not have a deep playoff run.

 

That said, the reason you have hope is the reason I have lots of hope. I know it’s only one 1/2 of a football game but they really showed some thing in that second half of the Tampa Bay game. Not saying it’s going to transfer over for sure, but we know the team has the talent and has shown it before for long stretches. If it does transfer over, watch out. We can literally beat anyone if we start playing consistently like that. Also, to your point, everybody’s beatable in the AFC. We even beat KC. I Realize they weren’t at their best at the time, that said, we still beat them and now we know that we can. Also, they would’ve lost last night if it wasn’t for the overly aggressive coach of the chargers.

 

While time is short, there still is time to right the ship, get on a hot streak and see what happens come playoff time.

I like this post. 👍

Indy beats the Pats, Bills beat the Pats, Dolphins beat the Pats for the sweep. Bills take the Division. Dolphins take the final wild card. Patriots go fishing. 

[Nester]

No chance i will be rooting for the pats over the colts. 

[DapperCam]

I won’t be rooting for the Pats, but I won’t be that upset if they win either. Colts will beat us in the playoffs, and the Pats can still blow the division vs Miami (who they already lost to).

That's actually a great point. I'm much more confident Bills can beat the Pats away or home then I am the Bills being able to beat the Colts away or home.
