Dwight Drane Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Not bad....we'll be 3 point underdogs our next 3 games, 3 point favorites the 2 after, then @Baltimore which is the hardest on paper. Could be 9-7 if we tighten the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob2232 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Brutal? We should be able to beat Miami, Tennesee, and the Jets. Baltimore might be resting week 17. And 4 of the 6 remaining games are at home! Next 2 weeks will define this season. If we can pick up a win next week, I dont think 9-7 is out of the question. perhaps this is some unwarranted optimism based on todays game, but assuming the light went on today, I would put even money that we finish 8-8 or better.

Simon Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Can somebody explain why Baltimore will likely rest their starters? 842805[/snapback] Cuz there's a distinct possibility they'll have the division wrapped up but not be able to catch Indy or NE to get one of the bye weeks. No point putting aging vets like McNair, Lewis, Ogden, Price, Mason, Gregg, Rolle and others in harm's way the wek before an elimination game.

Can somebody explain why Baltimore will likely rest their starters? 842805[/snapback] Just a hunch...they're currently sitting at 8-2 with a 3 game lead in the AFC North. In the next 6 weeks, their opponents have a combined record of 26-34, including playing Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh twice. In the next 2 weeks (Pitt and Cin), they could lock up any potential AFC North tie breaker, as well as likely win an additional 2-3 games to secure a division championship (I don't see Cincinnati doing enough, with their schedule, to overtake Baltimore).

The parlay of the game meaning nothing and Billick pulling a Dungy is possible, but not terribly likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2003 the Ravens and Pittsburgh has a serious hatefest going on; that won't be the case with the Bills. I don't know how it's going to shake out (nor do I think it makes much of a difference either way), but if Billick lets injury prone McNair (who's the key ot their SB hopes) or banged up guys like Ray Lewis, Derek Mason and Kelly Gregg play a full game on a meaningless weekend possibly just 6 days before an elimination game, then he's a damnedable fool.

AJ1 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Long range forecast has high of 36 and rain/snow for Sunday. Let's have a nice warm Western NY welcome for the boys from Jacksonville. After a Monday night game and away in the cold in Buffalo, a dismal showing by the Jags would not be unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The biggest games I'm worried about are the Chargers game and the Jets game, THe Chargers are a very good team and LT is going to have a field day against our dismal run defense, and the Jets are a tough team this year and we don't seem to play too well against them on the road. If we can win those two games however, we should make the playoffs (assuming we win the games we're supposed to). I expect the Bills to lose those two games and finish 8-8 but it could go better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I wouldn't exactly chalk up Tennessee as a win... by the way, it would've been nice if Henry had busted off a 70 yarder or two in his time here- then maybe we'd have him at RB and a solid interior D-lineman instead of McGahee...

However its a opportunity. If the Bills D can shut down LT(that is hold him to under 100yds and 1 td) I'll be impressed and it will be a good boost for them. It's all about building blocks at this point for the Bills. Stepping up against the highest powered offense would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see the Bills beat them at full strength, anyway. We were booking our playoff tickets with the Steelers' 3rd stringers as the only obstacle in our way, and we all know how that worked out.

Can somebody explain why Baltimore will likely rest their starters? 842805[/snapback] Because home field will probably be owned by Indy at that point and Baltimore will have won their division, unless they turn on the suck machine I agree with the original poster that it may be a possible win.
