Nothing Is Over!

People give up so easily. The team and players are still fighting hard, thankfully.

 

The odds are damn slim now, but not impossible. IDK if 10-7 will cut it, but I admit 11-6 seems like a looooooong shot.

 

So far, they've been unlucky except the Gioants game. Who knows. Many teams, including the Bills, have had long W streaks to enter the playoffs in recent years. Odds are slim, but of course they can do it. 

Have you watched the games this season?  
McD’s defense is awful
This team lacks leadership

Kneeling with 20 second left is a

perfect metaphor for what is wrong with this team 

Josh’s saying that it was the right call sucked as much as watching it happen.  There is no fire or any kind of urgency 

 

If we make the playoff it will be because some other team’s wheels fell off.

Mathematically, you are correct. Nothing is "over" and anything can happen. Realistically, though there are a lot of factors that have to go juuuuuust right at this point. 

 

Sure would be nice to win one of these "instant classic" games though, right?

I think it's a league policy that Buffalo is not allowed a instant classic win.  It's written in their bylaws.  But keep those close Heartbreakers coming.

It's never over until you are mathematically eliminated!

 

And we've got a bye week now to rest up and retool. How much fun would it be if they did go on a run. That's what I'm rooting for.

 

If it doesn't happen, well, that's what the offseason is for and changes will most likely be made. But, right now, we still have a chance with 5 more games. Just need to take them one at a time, exacting our season-long frustrations out on each and everyone:

 

Nedermeyer...dead, Mahomes...dead, Jerry Jones...dead, Boltman...dead---you get the picture. 😊

 

I mean, what the F@&# happened to the Bills fans that I used to know? Show some gumption and keep rooting for the team until the season is officially over. 

 

Go Bills!

We are the Washington Generals of the NFL.

If they play against the next five opponents like they did against the eagles, you know, the best team in the league, then I can see them winning out. The chiefs are not the chiefs of old. Dallas? We’ll be home and I think we are a better team than they are. Then the pats and the chargers who are not very good should be a win. Then close out against the dolphins, which might be for the division lead. 
I don’t get all this talk about the season being over. Ask the players if they think the season is over. 

Do you honestly believe that the Bills are better than the Cowboys on Defense?

[Drew21PA]

Dang just did the playoff machine

 

we lose to either KC or Dallas things are ugly.

 

too bad teams like cinci and such are just rollover games for some in our division 

 

just sad the Steelers will be most likely making the post season it’s unreal

 

Russ and the broncos most likely taking our 7th seed thanks to the pathetic showing against us

 

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Game over, man.  The Bills are Mahomes and Kelce's B word.  

[RoscoeParrish]

The guy who determines how far we go is officially back.
 

I’ll take that and a crushing defeat and still have a chance at getting in the playoffs/making a run vs. winning ugly yesterday and Josh continuing to look incompetent.

not in the regular season they’re not!

[JohnnyBuffalo]

As unlikely as it is they make the playoffs it would make for one hell of a story getting the offense hot at the right time and shocking the Effing world by winning it all!

 

But I’m not planning any trips to Vegas within the next 4 months.

Actually if we go 4-1 losing to Dallas is the best odds of playoffs at this point.

 

With as lackluster as the AFC has turned out this year, we have near a 70% chance of landing a wildcard if we run the remaining AFC games.  

 

Beat the chiefs and we'll start doing the math on whether Miami is going to have anything to play for in week 18.

As Josh Allen said to Sullivan

I've told my friends over the years that Buffalo teams are on this planet for the sole reason of providing enjoyment and euphoria for other teams fan bases. 

 

 

 

It’s not likely but i saw somewhere on the interwebs that an AFC team could make it in with 9 wins.  Supposedly, it’s not out of the question.

I strongly believe Elam is not the problem. The defensive philosophy / loyalty is the issue. Elam picked Mahomes and dominated a playoff game. Played hurt all season.

 

Bench Poyer and Von. They are hurt and costing reps to more able bodies.

 

Put Benford at Safety. Move Hyde to centerfield play him deep or bring down as robber. 
 

Play press man with Elam & Douglas.
Play handsy it works and is rarely called holding.

Blitz Benford and Taron 50%. 
 

Send Bernard on blitzes.

 

Play Floyd and Rousseau more. 
 

Use Epenesa as 3rd down PR, move Rousseau inside with Oliver to rush on 3rd down. 
 

Blitzing is fine, but we need to do it with handsy coverage.

they played well enuff 2 beat the rest of the teams they play, mind ya it better not b a close game as we know how those go

6 bonus points for the Rambo reference 

[Mikie2times]

If we did make it what are the odds McBoogerballs McBildos the Billsy? Pretty McF'n McLikely.

It’s that conference record, dudes. It’s pretty over. Effing New England, seriously

Its felt over since the Broncos loss.  that 12 man penalty is just inexcusable.

 

however.  If the dolphins blow a game to washington, titans or the jets then the bills have a shot because you can make the case Miami could lose two in a row before Buffalo rolls into town week 18.

 

I am going to say its over though.  The KC game is more a of must win than philly was but the way they lost to philly into a bye week just feels like emotionally they wont be able to get back up to that level.  

 

Buffalo is basically in the role of spoiler now.  They can screw up the seedings of Miami or KC with wins and they can maybe give Philly the division if they beat Dallas but other than that it feels like they are just playing out the schedule.

 

Would love to see the offense close out the season strong and keep running the ball and playing physical.  I am looking forward to knox being back.  If the team finishes 9-8 but plays great offense down the stretch It wont be as hard to take since that will more than likely signal the end of McDermott and some changes to the defense and a new voice leading the team.   Hopefully Diggs doesn't go nuclear over the next month.

No but while they have been dominant at home, they are only 3-3 on the road. They did lose to the Cardinals. It will be a tough game, but it is winnable especially at home.
