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

[stuvian]

If we're going to tank we should tank like we mean it Cardinals style 

[Success]

It would be fantastic if they could shut the national media up.

 

They did it before. After the "wind game," everyone was saying the Pats had taken the division back, and the Bills were yesterday's news.  And that turned out to be our best run.

They need to be ahead by 2 scores with 13 seconds left; if they are….Super Bowl! 

But they must play complimentary football ... Josh Allen puts a TD on the board the defense must give one back.

[HomeskillitMoorman]

The team is good enough…the head coach is not. He will cost us at least 1 more in these next 5. 

[Dillenger4]

The Bills are definitely good enough. Let Joe cook! Our D will get a tad more healthy over the next 12 days.... We beat KC and it's on!

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. 

Why are you here?

Well stated.  I'd like to add that the injuries (particularly on defense) compound their consistency issues.

[BillMafia716ix]

There good enough but I still don’t trust Josh Allen to be consistent enough through 5 games. He hasn’t been all year.

I dont trust the defense to hold a lead no matter the circumstances  Shell shocked from how bad they have been at end of games

[billsbackto81]

Sure.

 

But they picked the wrong part of the schedule to need a win streak like that.

 

Would be great to see that Miami game mean something at the end. I just know Josh would eat that opportunity alive.

I get thinking that might be the record if a fan thinks the team is falling apart - but "realistically" is not at all accurate.

 

There is a very slim chance the team falls apart like that.  We're a 6-6 team that talent-wise is on par w/ the top teams.  Only about 2-3 teams are likely to win only one game the rest of the way, and those are really the dregs of the league.

 

The problem is the defense can't hold up late in games because we have a lot of older players that look absolutely gassed at the end of games.  So we play soft defense and get taken to the wood shed far too often.  

 

That being said, Josh Allen when at his best is the most dominant player in the NFL.  So a 5-0 run is possible.  We need Joe Brady to be scheming up some bigtime offense that suits Josh, and the Bills secondary especially our safeties really need to tighten things up.  Hyde and Poyer's fall off in play this year has really been surprising.  

[Prospector]

Why doesn’t doesn’t nothing ever?! I mean come on!!! 

[BuffaloBaumer]

I am FULLY convinced that all this team needs to do is beats KC and they go the Super Bowl. The thing that that truly sucks is that I don't think think we are beating KC. This could go down as the most infuriating season of my life because even after the injuries, these players can STILL do it. If the defensive coaching could just get out of their own way, we very well may STILL have the best team in the NFL. 

 

If McDermott can't figure out a solid defensive plan over the 2 weeks he will have, I hope he rots on some other team next year. I honestly feel the whole rest of his career hinges on KC so for the good of him, and the best fans in the league, GET IT FREAKING DONE!!!!!

And quite frankly so what if we manage to squeak into the playoffs? We aren't going anywhere. This season was supposed to be about a lot more than just getting in.

And that is the issue.  McD and Bills win the next teo. It lines up well.  

 

Bills need at worst 8-1 to win SB, which they're capable of.

 

Ifbthey don't is this tlreally waht.we want?

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

They're not well coached enough 

[90sBills]

I see a lot of ‘They’re good enough…but probably won’t’ responses. A great coach once said you are what your record is. Or something like that. This year’s Bills is a .500 team after 12 weeks. So they’re not good enough to win 5 in a row. It’s fan delusion to think otherwise. 

 

What they are good enough to do…is rise up to better competition so they might upset KC after the bye. Which would be a great feel for the fanbase in what is a disappointing season. It would be the highlight of this season. Might save McD’s butt for another year.

Next game pretty much will tell us all.  

 

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

72, I only care about the Chiefs.  Then I’ll only care about the Cowgirls.  We win those two convincingly and McDermott stays out of the freakin way, then I’ll start to have some hope as we were the better team against Philly.

[RunTheBall]

I’m a huge Bills homer and I don’t see it happening. Not with this defense, this special teams, and this head coach.

 

I expect Andy Reid and Spags to school McD in Arrowhead after the bye and end all discussion.

 

I think we have the better team overall but I think the coaching disparity is what will doom us. 

 

Hope I’m wrong.

Paup, to me part of that beyond your points (all good ones) is they have been on the field for way too much time.  The problem is the seam offense and I finally started to believe Brady was getting more creative as well as Josh.  
 

McD on the other hand I’ve lost faith.  Too many bad decisions so I’m late to the party with McD can’t take us any farther.  I’m getting there now.  He was what this team needed 2017-2022.  I can’t look the other way anymore when some of his decisions are maddening.
