Wouldn’t it be three in a row they lost the Philly

 

Could be wrong on this

 

They lost to Philly but it was two weeks ago, they beat the raiders last week

It’s why those quitting the season after the Broncos game and Eagles game are losers. 
 

“Wahhhhhh how could we ever win a game with Sean McDermott. “
 

The guy brought you the winning culture that you suddenly take for granted. The one that didn’t exist in your mind’s eye 5 years ago.  Let’s see the winning culture you’ve developed in your life to be throwing stones at him.

The idea that we're one game out is simply not true. It's more than that because we own literally no tiebreakers against anybody and have by far the worst conference record. Can't just look at 7-5 vs 6-6

Josh Allen brought a winning culture. McDermott brings stupidity late in games.  Spare me...😅

We own the tiebreaker w/Dolphins if Bills win out.

 

Own it w/KC if the Bills win out.

 

What are you talking about?

 

CRAP! I SAID "IF!" 

 

Now the Great Pumpkin will never come!!!

Lmao what are you talking about? Last I checked the OP was comparing our playoff chances to other wild card contenders, not the Dolphins. Reading comprehension is your friend

exactly… trade the victories against the Giants and Commanders for victories against the Broncos and Pats instead, and I’d feel a LOT better about losing one more game out of our last 5. Stupid division and conference tiebreakers.

The other teams will most certainly shake out. Might not even need a tiebreaker.

I watch these games around the league every week.  Every week I see the supposed best teams in the NFL play really well some weeks and then terribly average the next.  Coaching issues aside, I am still not convinced that when we play our best ball (which hasn't happened much this season at all), that we aren't the best team in the league.  It's so strange to say that sitting at 6-6 out of the Playoffs, but there is not a team we play that scares me talent wise where I just think we are outclassed on the field.  The problem this season, more so than execution, is our coaching. 

 

While it is just a 2 week sample size, it is very obvious to see that Dorsey held this offense back all season.  I can think of at least 3 losses that if Dorsey just uses common sense, they are wins and we aren't even having this conversation about rooting for other teams to lose to get in.  Add that to the fact that McDermott pisses and craps his pants every time a game is close and comes down to him getting a defensive stop, and it is becoming more and more obvious every week that the only place we are outclassed on the field is on the sideline with our coaching staff. 

 

If Brady rights the ship here on offense for the rest of the season and we can average 28+ points every game, and if we can just get McDermott to stop throwing up all over himself, this season can still be salvaged.  But that is a ton of "ifs" and McDermott has shown no signs in 5 years of figuring out how to win the games in crunch time.  That's why as of now, we are going to be watching career backups and journeymen QBs with below average teams in the Playoffs while we sit home trying to figure out what WR we want to draft with out mid first round pick.  So frustrating.

Bills are currently +500 to make the playoffs.  That means a $100 bet will pay $600 if they make it. Looking at the garbage teams we’re competing with, I love those odds, regardless of what all the tiebreakers say…

Well some have rotten egg all over their face but they like it that way.

If we don't go 4-1 it won't matter what the others do. We have to take care of our own business and so far we've done a very poor job.  We'll see but we waited way too long to replace Dorsey.  It's infuriating how close we are to being 10-2.

Also close to being 4-8

The culture died against Cinci in the playoffs last year. This team is on Josh’s shoulders now, we will only go as far as he can take us.
