Bills schedule thru nine games

[SoCal Deek]

I’ll be the first to say I’m disappointed after the last two weeks but when the smoke cleared you step back and look at the Bills schedule through the first nine games…a pretty decent sample size. 
 

All of their AFC opponents are essentially in first place (the Jets are a half game back). The lone exception was Pittsburgh. You can say what you want about Miami and the Jets but we’re now past the halfway point of the season. They are both for real.
 

And their NFC opponents have included the first place Vikings, the Super Bowl champions on the road, and Aaron Rodgers. 

Brutal!

It has been a tough schedule,  but of course we should have at most one loss. The next two weeks will say a lot. Two poor teams, teams they should beat soundly.  If they lose one, if they struggle even if a win, then this team is in trouble in terms of a deep playoff run.

They need to get healthy especially on D. If they play next week with an injured lineup again then don't expect a blowout win. A loss is also a realistic possibility.

The Browns and Lions will be playing us like it’s their……

Yep. Looking back, they’ve lost three games by a combined total of EIGHT points including one in overtime. A brutal schedule with all three head scratching last minute defeats. Again…brutal!

Indeed they seem to be. Yet, in all 3 losses, you could just see the Bills are the superior team, much better than the Jets and Fish. The hype for the Bills is based on reality. It just boggles the mind they lost these games. A fluke happens, but wow. Sure, the Bills have weaknesses (what team doesn't!!!) and have had injuries too, but if they play mentally well, they can still win it all, for sure. What a weird situation.

Toughest schedule in the NFL and they still have the best point differential by far.

 

They also have the highest strength of victory.

Indeed. I’m convinced they would be undefeated if Frazier would just be even a LITTLE more aggressive on defense. Not to turn this into another ‘who’s to blame’ thread, but stepping back…what’s the worst that could happen Leslie?
