We're Going To The Playoffs. (edit: Updated - Super Bowl)

[zow2]

I had us beating the Eagles in a nail biter and losing to KC.  I just can’t see the Chiefs losing a 3rd home game.  Hope i’m wrong and the script is flipped and we do run the table.  That’s the only way. Dallas will not feel comfortable playing in mid-December in WNY. The Chargers will be tricky but they seem to lose to everyone else, NE is woeful and Miami in a must win situation is doable.

And only four more weeks till Santa comes too!  

 

It's all so exciting!

 

 

I honestly have a better chance of Santa getting me a 5,000$ gaming PC than the Bills making the playoffs. 

[ProcessTruster]

They played well.   The offense did what it needed to do, score a lot of points.   The D is weakened, but almost got it done.   The refs completely sucked, and I rarely get on the refs.   

 

If they play like that for 5 weeks , they can certainly win them all.

Mark it down right now.  This team is going to the playoffs.  We're going to run the table and finish 11-6.  Too much adversity has hit this team over the last four years for it not to happen.  The negativity they'll hear the next two weeks will spring this team like it did in 2021 in a very similar game in Tampa.  It's always darkest before the dawn.

Yeah ok. And in the playoffs, McDoopy will find a way to suck the soul out of this team, this town, this fan base all over again. Like usual.

Not a chance. This team is mentally weak and the defense plays scared at the end of games. Eagles went down field easily in OT. The 13 second Chiefs game ruined this team. I don't like to blame coaches all the time but McDermott needs to go.  

[harryS]

Making the playoffs isn't the goal anyway, and hopefully people remember that!  We want to win a Super Bowl. Making the playoffs only to choke away a win @Ravens or @Chiefs is a failure.

 

The sneaky bastard McDermott has moved the goalposts.  Very few expect us to make the playoffs anymore, so now making the playoffs with Josh Allen is a success lol and will save his job.

[RiotAct]

k. 

[Doc]

Depends on whether the NFL/refs keep screwing the Bills.

[McBean]

Best thing we can hope for long term is a butt kicking in KC and McDermott gets fired on the tarmac.

[BreezeMafia]

100% all in on running the table.

Really love the optimism.  If we can somehow beat KC, I think we have a decent shot at 11-6.  Dallas will be tough, but over the years they haven't played well in Buffalo.  The game in Miami could end up being the must win to get in.

We actually ran the table the last 3 seasons in a row after terrible losses.

 

2020 Cardinals Hail Murray game, won 6 (after the bye)

2021 Tampa OT game, won 4

2022 Vikings 4th and 18 and OT, won 6

Don't stop there. The complete scenario would be a rematch with the Eagles in the SB. 

 

Not likely, sure, but there would be some good story lines there.  

 

[C.Biscuit97]

This game won’t hurt so bad if we didn’t blow games to MacJones, Zack Wilson, and The Broncos. Embarrassing losses. Sad part is if we make the playoffs, we could make the SB (I’m sure we will lose a heartbreaking playoff game but still). 
 

this season sucks so bad because there are so many what ifs. 

[nedboy7]

Watching that game yesterday I felt all along we will find a way to lose this.  I believe this is why opposing teams have the most improbable outcomes against us. Cause they believe we will find a way to lose.  We are losers now.  Embrace the loss.  

[MikePJ76]

Great.

 

Note to the offense.  You will need to be up 9 points or more with 1:00 minute or so left on the clock in every game going forward or the philadelphia football savant who runs everything here will find a way to lose the game for you.

Can you even remember the last time a kicker was "iced?"  That ***** doesn't work.  Who cares if Allen threw an int?  He also threw 2 TDs and ran for 2 more. Allen was the reason we were winning that game.  You let your elite QB be an elite QB.  It was a bad call all around.  and yes, McD does tell the offense to burn clock.  Thats why while on offense that drive McD had the playcard over his mouth talking.  Why would he need to hide his mouth while we are on offense.  Thats McD's call whether to be aggressive or to be conservative and try and burn clock.  Thats exactly what happened.

 

How many games have we lost like this?  The dude is not good enough.  I am tired of excuses.  Eventually it's a pattern.  That pattern is apparent.

I actually can… the exact same scenario played itself out in the Jaguars/Texans game yesterday.
 

Texans trailing the Jaguars by 3 points. Incomplete pass stopped the clock with 34 seconds left. Texans lined up for a 58 yard FG and Doug Pederson called his second timeout to ice the kicker. Kicker hit the crossbar, game over.

For a normal team in any league or sport this is entirely in the realm of possibility but not for this team! Why? because this is the cursed Buffalo Bills! Bad luck, Bad officiating, Bad coaching, freakish plays and injuries for us or against us. Any one or all of these things will derail our trip to the playoffs. Here's what I predict (which of course is the worst case scenario). We tease our playoff chances so that we are sucked back into the hope vortex only to be cruelly denied at the very end. The Bills are like Charlie Brown kicking the football and the football Gods are Lucy. Same crushing end, every year, forever. Or like another pop culture analogy, its like "Groundhog Day" at the end of every Bills season.
