You know,  a thread like this should be for fans who still have a bit of hope to discuss realistic scenarios where the Bills could still get into the playoffs.

 

I get that other fans are frustrated and have given up - and I don't blame them - but what point is there in just hopping on here to ridicule the idea?

 

 

Because it's an idea worthy of ridicule, and I mean that in the nicest possible way

So, they have ZERO chance of making the playoffs? None at all?

 

I get thinking it's slim.  I think it's slim.  But there are scenarios and possibilities - and we're not even at a point where the math starts getting insane and you need all kinds of outcomes & other teams to win or lose.

Playoffs.

 

What do you think are the odds?

Being serious, slim and none. If they can’t win the games they should win, they have no chance against teams that are better than them. In all honesty, they should have lost vs the Giants, and they were lucky as heck to get the W vs Tampa Bay. Did you see what the Cowboys did to the Giants the other day? You think the Bills can beat them!? Anything is *possible*, but it’s not realistic. I think they win 3 more games, at the most.

So that's what you do with your day? Lurk on the internet looking for things to ridicule? Sounds sad.

 

You think the dolphins will beat the jets twice and beat the raiders?

[Bills!Win!]

The afc north is going to beat the crap out of each other. We will squeak in at 9-8. We will be fine (but not really)

gah this is so reminiscent of the drought years when we had to go to advanced calculus starting in late october to find a path to the playoffs. 

I’ve got my slide rule, protractor, and compass all ready!

I didn't say anything about beating the cowboys I said Jets, Fins Pats, and chargers

Yeah ok you got me on a technicality.  They have a non-zero chance at the playoffs.  I also have a non-zero chance of winning powerball

 

The reason why people are clowning on this is because the Bills arent going on some miraculous winning streak.  they aren't built that way, and the team leaders are all sulking instead of demanding accountability from each other and the organization.  McD will clap his way through it, dont worry.

Miami is NOT losing to the Titans.   Full stop.

Not to mention this current Bills team.

[Success]

We have lost to bad teams.  We also blew out the presumptive division winner.

 

Seasons can turn on a dime. I've been a fan for many years.  I wait for the math to no longer work.

"Lurking on the internet"  yes I have never been on this site before but the cool kids said there was lots of sadness here today so i made an account and here i am

Just sold all my tickets to the Jets game and as soon as that one is over, we can start thinking about the draft. This team does not have one strength, and right now, that includes Allen. I have a bad feeling we will never see the type of play from him that we saw in 2021. We had our chance and now, it's time to build a stronger team around him. 17 can no longer carry a team like he did in the past and the sooner people realize that, the easier it will be on expectations for the future.

We can only hope Tua gets hurt like last year and MIA stumbles. They lose to us, DAL, BAL and we still need to get to 11-6. Which means we can only lose one of the KC, PHI, DAL, LAC games and have to win NYJ, NE, MIA. 

[CodeMonkey]

The only road to the playoffs for this team is Taylor Swift buying the team.

[90sBills]

Too soon…

[Jay_Fixit]

They’ll be 11-6 I guarantee it 

[uticaclub]

If we can't beat the teams left on the schedule, what's the point of sneaking in and getting blown out wildcard weekend? If this is a championship caliber team then we should go 7-0, if we are counting wins and losses then we already lost.

[BigAl2526]

To me, the road to the playoffs looks to be about 13 1/2 months long now at minimum.
