truth on hold Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Loss to Cleveland and Bills are toast. They'd have 4 conference losses thru 10 games, 3 division losses. With only 6 games left they'd have to win 5 of them to stand a chance at 10 & 6. But with all the conference and division losses we'd most likely lose any tie breakers. Better play nads out Monday night, because a loss for all intents and purposes ends this team's playoff chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remains to be seen if someone is going to turn the setting to "incinerate" and press the lever down or not. A win against the Brownies would do a lot to restore some confidence that the team is sorely lacking right now. A loss against the Clevers, on MNF, at home, would not be a good thing.

Fewell733 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 lose monday and we have to win out to have a good chance at the playoffs. so yeah, I'm willing to call it a must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Not to pee on the parade here, but every game from here on out is a must win to stay alive. If Buffalo takes an L on Monday Night, They may as well play the kind of football that lets them draft Orakpo from Texas, that stud of a DE.

silvermike Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The Bills have seven games left: Three division games: They have to win two (7-5) Three games conference games (CLE, DEN, KC): They have to win two (9-6) And San Francisco, who they have to beat (10-6). 10-6 doesn't guarantee them a playoff spot, but it's the only route I can reasonably see them taking at this point. We can hope for 11-5 all day, it's just not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Right now the Wildcards are up for grabs. So anything can happen. But they have gotta get better of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 lose monday and we have to win out to have a good chance at the playoffs. so yeah, I'm willing to call it a must win. Agreed ... I say we can omnly lose 1 more game and not to a conference or division opponent if we are going to make the PO's. Guess this means we can toss the SF game.

The interdivisional games ARE must win! We are 0-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOOBY Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 We just need to find the win column for the next month, our upcoming opponents all suck so it's time to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if we can win 3 out of the next 4, we're right back in the thick of things. Get a couple of key players back and win some winable ball games, 8-5 with 3 games remaining, it can be done.

If they lose monday night then they should tank it : 1. Put some of the backups or reserve players on the Oline 2. Put Losman in as QB so Edwards doesn't get killed. That should move them way up in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks underestimate how much Aaron Schobel means to this football team then throw Whitner into the mix of injured players and we have big problems. Our loses are as much about key injuries as anything else so with all due respect, I disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, hopes hinge on mathmatical possibilities rather than confidence in what the team is and what it can do. Another tranlation: In spite of the coaches, the Bills are still alive in the playoff race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, even if they moved up to 8th in the draft what difference would it make? Who did they take the last time they drafted that high? Whitner! Big deal!
