Bills could be tied for 1st in the AFC at 7-4

[Doc Brown]

NYT model has Bills only having a 36% of making the playoffs right now and only a 45% chance of making the playoffs if we win our next two games.  Yikes.  I didn't realize we were in this much trouble.  We probably have to go 6-2 for a Wild Card.  Our best hope might be the Dolphins stumbling down the stretch and us beating them the last week to get in as the 4 seed.

The Steelers are really ruining this WC chase.

That's kind of surprising.  Would think our chances at 7-4 would be a lot better than that.

 

The AFC is pretty stacked this year.  The focus for this team has to be the division.   Miami's schedule is close to as tough as ours - really have to keep pace w/ them until that final game, and then see how it goes.

Also the Texans might only have 3 more losses on that schedule.

Fins schedule is much easier as they already played the Eagles and Chiefs.  Miami's next five are the Raiders, Jets, Commanders, Titans, and Jets again.  They'll probably be 10-4 or 11-3 before they play the Cowboys, Ravens, and us.  The Jets and Pats losses really put this team's back against the wall.  Let's hope they respond.

The path has always been through winning the division. Keep pace with Miami and have a play in game week 18.

I can see the jets sweeping them with their defense. That team is playing scrappy I hate to say

Id like to play the browns. That matchup would be amazing. They're designed in a way that'd beat us. Most of the AFCN is. Pittsburgh could beat us with their aggressive pass defense. Houston would be a Bengals type game. 

 

It would be hilarious to see Motor run roughshod over McDummy's defense.

oh Gawd, the Jags are probably the team I’d want to face LEAST in the AFC playoffs.  It’s always a house of horrors when we play them.

 

Agreed, Pedersen  >>>>>>>>>>>> McDummy.

Could be tied or whatever and we end up losing on Monday Night.

 

Forget being tied for 1st. The team itself needs to acknowledge their weaknesses and over compensate for that.

 

Just win.

This is simply not possible. 
 

I read in another thread that we’ve already been eliminated from the playoffs. 

If you are talking about my thread or anything I said in it and you came away with that, then you misinterpreted what I said.

Chiefs aren't losing at home coming off a bye to the Eagles. Forget the Raiders. They'll be 9-2

Chiefs are so overrated . There's no powerhouse in AFC or the NFC for that matter. Thought SF at 1st, then Baltimore.  Week to week league. Just win this week

You have a thread?  

[CSBill]

This thread reminds me of the "We Could Go Undefeated the Rest of the Season" thread after the Dolphins game. I warned you then, and I will warn you again. When will you youngsters learn? These are the Buffalo Bills. Keep your over-enthusiastic threads to yourself. Save them for the day we win the Super Bowl. Such threads jinx us every time.

 

MODS, please remove this. Tonight is too big of a game to allow such foolish behavior to go unchecked. Please!

I’m not worried about the bills. AFC teams will beat other AFC teams and you’ll see teams like the Steelers Browns and Texans take a hit

You should be.  Kc Philly Dallas chargers and Miami can score points. If our offense does not get back on track we are in for a long second half of season.

I forgot to mention the browns as well but see dolphins/steelers

The Browns are actually a concern as their defense is legit.

AFC is pretty logjammed.  If the Bills can just start performing they can be right there at their bye going into KC.

Even at 25% of their ability they would be far and beyond a lot in the afc

Doubt they get a WC as they have to many conference losses. Best hope is to win the division.

I am really sick of that franchise. They are NOT playing like a 6-3 team.  They should be 3-6 it's a joke.
