Jets 24 Bills 13. 
 

 

I will never be surprised by a bills loss prediction anymore 😂  but I think rasul has shored up the defense a bit and I don’t think we’ll give up 24 to the jets 

[muppy]

the lack of confidence in our team is palpable.  Isn't a part of the Process perseverance and Pride?

 

Noone on either side of the ball is going to mail this one in. A Dub would be a very welcome respite from the nagging negativity surrounding the entire franchise. 

 

I am hosting a game watch event with some friends. I didn't know when I planned it the team would be in such a FUNK

 

Yep that is what this team is right now, in a Funk.  The fanbase too. Please lets  break out of it. At home. POR FAVOR 

 

Noone wants this stink of being chokers and losers anymore. ENOUGH! I hope McDermott coaches his *** off. Brady too. Matthew Smiley too (special teams cooordinator)

 

you catch my drift? this team needs FEBREZE all this negativity and show UP on Sunday

 

GO Bills.

I am glad the press asked him about his brothers tweets, but the follow up question should have been along the lines of is this all his own opinion or is this him echoing thoughts from conversations with you?

That way he would have had to go on the record and state where he stands. Disappointed in the reporters for not digging further and for Diggs just not coming out and ending it.

Yesterday on Get Up they talked about the Travon Tweets - and today they are really hammering it again now after Stef's PC yesterday.  When I watched the PC I noticed some of the same things they are talking about - when asked about being unhappy he says "I'm a Buffalo Bill, I give it everything I've got, I'm a professional"  He could have just said "I'm happy here" but he never does.  He might just be playing games with the media, and for me personally I don't think it's necessarily some doomsday thing - but strange to me he could have done a lot more to put it to rest than now just inviting more speculation.

Ahh, some logic out of Logic.

With a win we're back to a 27% chance of making the playoffs (the Jets would drop to 4%), which is a whole lot better than where we were at this time when we ended the drought in 2017. Reminder: November 19, 2017: Nathan Peterman gets the start and throws 5 INTs. The tank was on, but it didn't work. If it had worked we probably would've drafted Sam Darnold.

Believe!!!

Only 27% chance if we win versus the Jets?  Mathematically maybe but hat sounds incredibly low considering how bunched up the AFC is.  Assume Miami, Baltimore, Jax and Chiefs win their conference,  that leaves 3 spots for Buffalo, Cinci, Pitts, Browns and the last three beat up on each other.   Maybe throw in the Raiders and Texans

It's running thousands of simulations that take into account the strength of the Bills, the strength of our opponents (that's the problem), and the strength of our competitors and their opponents.

So did Cincy losing to Baltimore help us? A tiny bit - I get 28% now if we beat the Jets (and not knowing any other results).

I preferred 538's model/predictor because it was more transparent and (I think) a bit more sophisticated. For example: I don't know if the NYT or ESPN models "know" that Deshaun Watson is out for the year, or that Joe Burrow is probably out for a game or two (or more), or the quality (lack thereof) of their backups. So that's a big wildcard that may not be in their model.

My big takeaways: we kind of control our own destiny in that we can get above a 50% chance (again, not knowing anything else) by winning all our remaining divisional games. Of course, that wouldn't be enough (8 wins). Can we also beat the Cowboys/Eagles/Chiefs/Chargers? History would say that in the NFL we'll win at least one or two of those. The model "knows" that. And that may be enough.

We have had our blood letting. Time to move on.  How badly will the Blills beat the Jets this week?

Roger that, Chaos.

The Bills will destroy the Jets Sunday. 

 

The previous 3 games say otherwise. The Bills will probably win but it will most likely be a one-score game again.

Saw Garret Wilson is questionable for Sunday, he's a Bills killer, so him out Bills will most likely win.

You shut your mouth with that negativity.  Our season is going to be like the movie Major League.

 

How it started.

 

 

How it ended.

 

 

And Mac Jones was also in the movie.

Not to mention no other WR seems to have Zach Wilson's trust.

Stefon is a troll, always has been. If he can get the media to bite he will.

I doubt the receivers trust Wilson as well.

[Success]

I think this team has fight in them.  They have shown in the past that they can overcome bad starts and go on extended runs to put themselves in good playoff position.

 

I think they'll embrace this challenge, and I plan to as a fan.  Would I have loved to roll through the season and have the playoffs locked up in a couple of weeks?  Of course.  But this kind of situation can also be fun, hanging on every game and seeing a team overcome adversity.  

 

It all starts Sunday.  Who knows - maybe Brady is the guy they needed.

I just don't know where I find five wins on the remaining schedule.  I mean PHI, KC, DAL, MIA is brutal.  @LAC is no pushover, and the two other games I didn't mention (NE and NYJ) already beat us!  I just don't see it but would love to be surprised.

This game is equally "must win" for Jets.  I'd still be surprised if he didn't play.  Plus, if I read correctly, he got in Limited practice all week and no DNPs.

You absolutely need to throw in the Texans and almost guarantee them a spot. Their schedule is advantageous to say the least and they are very hot.
