the #1 seed picture won't. it's a fair bet to say that's off the table.

 

Off the table? They’d be one game behind (while holding the tie breaker against anyone relevant) with a half season to go! 
 

That’s crazy talk. Regardless of what happens Sunday they are Very Much still in it. 
 

Now let’s go win this weekend and put the pressure on the rest of the field.

No matter what the Beane cult worshippers believe, he whiffed big time on Saffold (and resigning Bates).

 

Also I get that Beasely is done and wanted out of Buffalo anyway, but idea that a proven failure like McKenzie and/or injury prone player like Crowder were going to magically pick up that production is short sighted at best.

 

Knox extension also very questionable at this point.

 

With all that said yes this team is still 6-2 and the top seed in the AFC for the moment, but one more loss and the luster and potential of this season starts to diminish exponentially as does the misguided belief that Beane is some kind of genius.

 

Yer a real blast at the parties there aren't ya bub?

Um...

 

Buff's third trip to the Super Bowl was as a Wild Card.  Your argument is invalid.  They needed to win a home and then two road playoff games to get there.

 

Holy ***** dude......don't confuse him with facts!!!  OH NO THOSE PESKY FACTS!!!!

Why do your posts always make me feel sad inside?

His posts don't make me sad.  They make me feel intellectually superior.

"Off the table"? Seriously? It really is not a fair bet in any way shape or form.

 

This early the idea is dumb. We're still in #1, actually. Allen might still play. We might win, with or without him. If we lose, KC might lose too, and one or more of the other competitors for #1.

 

Zero reason to think we don't still have a good chance to see things go our way. It certainly could happen that we don't win the #1. Or not.

This is crazy thinking. Yes they struggled against WSH but that’s because Washington d line is incredible and gave them fits. Our d line isn’t exactly as good so cousins will have time and that’s not even counting how much cook is going to eat up our d line. This could get ugly. 

it could… but it won’t.

   Good movie doubt many here have seen it.  That's the one he's stranded on a desert island with nuns and some orphans in pacific during ww2?

 

 

Yes, except Leslie Caron plays a French teacher with the kids and she ends up married to the "filthy beast".

It's one of my favorite Cary Grant movies and still holds up pretty good today.

I still see this team being in the playoffs as well barring a complete disaster, but what's it really going to matter if we are a WC team in a loaded AFC conference?

 

McD has proven he's not a true wartime playoff coach and there's a reason why he's 0-4 lifetime on the road in these games. There's also a reason the 90's Bills teams made 4 straight SB's and why KC also made 2 in recent years. Pretty sure that the Pats and Brady had home field throughout in the playoffs for all but 2 of their 9 SB trips as well, it's because playing at home matters and that's what this team needed this year for any real shot at a SB before the current window starts to close quickly.

 

My god you love posting like this.

 

Any real shot? Are you kidding me? This vaunted arrowhead crap needs to stop. Yes we got beat at arrowhead once. The 2nd game we lost on a fluke situation. It is not a given that we will lose in arrowhead again. Say what you want about the Texans (Allens first playoff game) and Jaguars games (No Allen), but the constant need for you to build this into some sort of trend is sickening. Just stop.

The attempt to build anti Bills staff/player narratives by him is astounding. It is why most believe he is a fish fan trolling.

And end up on the road in KC. Again.

 

Where we’ve won 2 of our last 3 and were seconds away from 3/3.  Kc is lookin mortal as ever though…it took the worst qb of all time starting and a very impressive effort from the refs to sneak the chiefs past the titans

"But not playoffs" he will say. "Playoffs we are 0-2 man! We lost 2 playoff games in Arrowhead, there is just no way we can win there."

 

They insist on this sample size of two games (one of which we had in hand) to demonstrate that we just cant win there. 

 

Would home field advantage be ideal? Absolutely.

Is arrowhead this terrifying monster we can't win in? Absolutely not.

I would put less stock in the previous playoff games than our game vs kc post tyreek hill…would be my response if he responds with that 😂. Those first couple losses against kc a few years ago our team wasn’t really on their level so they should not get equal weight as the game this year imo.  Especially the first playoff game where all our receivers were playing very injured

I mean yeah, historically correct.  Would we have won the game last year in Buffalo? I believe so 

 

It's all moot, really. If Josh misses multiple weeks, I'll bet we're a wildcard, given what's happening with our division.

Josh will play with a sleeve on his elbow. He'll throw for 4 TD's & team will run one in by end of 3rd quarter. Josh gets to rest for 4th quarter. Announcers are shocked !!!

The immediate fallout and impact:

 

- Bills fall to 3rd place in the AFCE, Dolphins regain division lead (this of course assumes the obvious that they beat a bad Browns team at home)

- Bills fall to all the way to 6th or 7th spot in conference if Chargers win

- KC assumes sole possession of #1 seed (also assuming obvious outcome of facing a bad Jaguars team at home).

 

We'll find out a lot about this team with our without JA17, but if it's the latter I feel it will probably be a somewhat easy win for the Vikings since they will stack the box and force Keenan to beat them.

 

Just goes to show that nothing is guaranteed and it's probably a good thing all the superbowl noise has come to an abrupt halt.

 

 

 

Im shocked it took you this long to make this thread. Did you not learn from your fear mongering last year?  Everyone knows what happens if the Bills lose this game.  Most people also know there is still 8 games to go and a lot can happen.

Discussing bad news from a Bills perspective only makes you a troll if you enjoy it and want the Bills to lose.

 

Actually, this thread is a Kool Aid drinkers excuse to B word, moan, and spew negativity all over the place.

 

 

Yeah sorry but this is the only type of thread or discussion the OP has done for years.  That makes it a troll.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
