Who doesn't think this team is good enough to go 5-0 down the stretch?

Why would anybody that has watched this team play all year believe they are capable of winning 5 straight games when 3 of them left are on the road (where this team is 1-5 this year). Especially KC where Andy Reid and Mahomes have never lost a December home game....again NEVER LOST A HOME GAME IN DECEMBER.

 

Oh and do I really need to mention the elephant in the room (you know the clapping idiot on the Bills sideline).

 

I admire some fans optimism and unwavering devotion but if the crushing loss to the Eagles wasn't the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, just wait until Mahomes all but ends the Bills season again, this time just not in the playoffs.

You answered your own question.   Even if the entire team was healthy they almost certainly don't win out with this schedule.  

But remember too, this is just football, not life and death.  Those same "some fans" prefer to turn their brains off sometimes and just enjoy   I'm not wired that way, and it seems you are not either.  But that's what makes it fun for them!

 

If I'm going to turn my brain off, I'm going balls out ... Taylor Swift watches the Bills/KC game and falls in love with the team and particularly the road Bills fans. She makes Pegs the proverbial offer he can't refuse on the spot for both the Bills and the Sabres.  Her Midas touch brings both the Lombardi trophy and Lord Stanleys cup for the first time each to Buffalo, and in the same year!

Next game tells us nothing. This team could go 5-0 or 0-5. They could go beat KC and DAL then lose LAC and NE. There have not been many games this season that the team has lived up to the expectations.

If only you could bottle this optimism. 

It already has been.  

[essential]

Based on this seasons sample size, they've proven they cannot play clean enough to win 5 straight, let alone 5 straight against good teams.  Are they capable of it? Sure ... but there is nothing that would lead you to believe they can do it based on their play so far this year.

[Bruffalo]

If they do go 5-0, it's because Allen is getting red hot with Brady at OC and they're blowing the doors off of teams.  

 

McDermott has shown without a doubt that he can't close out a game with his defense, you can argue whether or not it's personnel, scheme, or decision making but the numbers are out there. He's probably the worst 4th quarter defensive playcaller in the league right now.

We are good enough. Can we be coached good enough is the question? We are better talent wise by a large margin over the teams ahead of us for a wild card and it's not even close

I think they realistically go 1-4 down the stretch. Our coach is really hampering this team. 

Boy you really hate McDermott, don't you? Even if he had blunders in all 5 games, I don't think there's any chance in hell we only go 1-4

Talent wise they're good enough to go 5-0... Coaching wise they have no chance to go 5-0

Yeah, but we're not playing them. We're playing KC, Dallas, LAC, NE, and MIA. That's who we have to be better than. Without running the table, we will be on the outside looking in.

Next game pretty much will tell us all.  

 

And yes even a loss and we'll all look next to Dallas.😉

Let’s look at the last 5 games:

 

KC : They been inconsistent but unlike the Bills they have found ways to win, and it looks like last week they found a WR who can catch.. in KC. I am thinking KC wins

 

Dallas: in Buffalo, and Dallas isn’t as good on the road. They have a top D and a Top O in the NFL. Close game.. Thinking Dallas wins on late drive.

 

Chargers - In Buffalo and the Chargers are a mess. Buffalo wins

 

Patriots - In Buffalo and by this point Malik Cunningham may be Pats QB Bills Win.

 

Dolphins - At Miami and I think Miami sits starters.. Bills win.

 

so I see 3-2 could be 4-1 but I don’t see the Bills beating KC and Dallas.

The Chargers game is in LA, but it will still be a Bills "home" game.

I understand we aren't playing then. I'm just saying that we should be ahead of those teams and if all goes right, we will be. Yes, I think we are better than KC, Dallas, LA, NE and Miami. But we have to play like it

[bigduke6]

how hard this team fights in the Chefs game will tell us how the rest of the season will go.   they lay an egg,  they quit, season over.

if its close,  played hard,  win or lose,  shows us they still wanted it.   if the team quits,  McD is gone at the end of the season.   gonna find out alot in the next few games.

[CaptnCoke11]

The defense and McDermott better get it together if they wanna go 4-1 down the stretch.  I think the offense is going to continue to dominate 

[Buffalo03]

I think KC is our biggest challenge. I do think IF we beat them. We win out. We have 2 weeks to prepare for them so, there are no excuses

[Freddie's Dead]

No way we go 5-0 down the stretch.  McDummy will choke away at least one game. 

[stuvian]

We are good enough to beat the Eagles and run the table for the remainder of the season. We have also shown the ability to play down to the level of the Patriots and Panthers.

Do you mean to tell me that the McDermott strategy of protecting a one score lead by letting the opposing team move the ball past mid-field with ease against off coverage, only to then zero blitz them when they get in FG range, isn't sound play-calling?

I think the team is great.

 

i think the coach is horrible.

 

The coach is going to cost them a minimum of 1 loss.

[Gregg]

I will say this if they get by the Chiefs and Cowboys then they will go 5-0. LAC is a mess, and it will be a Bills "home" game. The Pats aren't sweeping the Bills, and the rematch with them will be just like the rematch with the Jets. If the Dolphins have the division locked up, then they probably rest their starters. But even if they don't and that game is for the division then I still like the Bills chances against Miami. They match up well with the Fish. This time the game in Miami is in Dec so it won't be 110 degrees outside.

[BuffaloRebound]

5-0?  No freaking way.  The special teams are shaky, the defense folds, and the offense still has turnover issues.  Oh, and the head coach wets his pants at the end of games.  At least 3 of those 5 games will be close so the odds of overcoming all 4 of those factors in at least 3 of those games is minuscule.
