  1.  

    It mattered most when both teams were winning with future HOF QBs.

     

    Tossing the Bills in with other rust belt cities isn't going to create some new hot rivalry.

     

     

    Wilson wanted to keep his current division teams. Buffalo already had Pittsburgh and Cleveland rivalry.

     

    Buffalo vs Pittsburgh is probably the most heated rivalry for non-division and non within state rivalries in the league.

  2. A few reasons.....

     

    1. Senior management under Wilson. Made it where coaches didn't want yo cone here. pegs us changing that.

     

    2. The team hasn't been awful...but more midfle of the pack where since the last layoffs they have been in that 7-6/6-7 for many of those seasons. You could go through and find 3-4 games they easily could have won with a pkay here or there.

     

    Of their 7 losses, 6 were by a score late in the 4th.

     

    3. People forget Taylor is in ways just like a rookie with him getting his first real snaps this season.

     

    4. The frustration thing is the new coaches !@#$ with what is working. When Gailey came on, he changed the defense that was damn good. Rex screwed with the defense too.

  3. I thought Rex hire would have meant the D would have been the same as it was. For whatever reason the defense just isnt the same when it comes to QB sacks and turnovers. The defense has had its moments and played well---the talent is there.

     

    6 of their 7 loses can be drilled down to 2-3 plays in the game that made the difference.

     

    injuries has been a big factor with this team this season.

  4. Buffalo can still make the playoffs....

     

    win out and....

     

    1. Oakland lose a game either today or last 3

     

    and 2 of the 3:

    1. Jets lose 1 game in the next 2

    2. Chiefs lose their last 3

    3. Steelers lose 2 of their last 3

     

    By losing today Buffalo would have the conference record tiebreaker on Pittsburgh. (DEN, at BAL, at CLE)

    Chiefs would have them by head to head or conference so they have to have a better record (at BAL, CLE, OAK)

    Buffalo needs the Jets to lose one and beat them in week 17 and then they would be ahead of them. ( at DAL, NE, at BUF)

     

    Oakland would have a better conference record.(at DEN, GB, SD, at KC)

  5. This is a direct result of Eagles Cards game being flexed to Sunday night but really doesn't impact fans although some may end up getting game on local tv now and some who would hv may not

    Funny thing....the records of Arizona and Philly could be the same as Cincy snd SF.

     

    Buffalo and Washington if Washington win tonight would be better. Houston at Indy would be also better.

     

    With cbs getting a game back and fox losing a game for FOX a game was going to fox....buffalo at Washington was the logical game because of the area conflict of Baltimore Also at 1pm on cbs.

    I guess they don't think buffalo will beat philadelhia.

  6. On buffalo making the playoffs.....

     

    KC has a big edge. They beat buffalo, houstn, and Pittsburgh and went 1-3 against the NFC which means they have the tie breaker edge.

     

    With Indy losing that means 2nd place will be a 7 loss team at least, thus no tiebreaker advantage with buffalo beating both Indy and Houston.

     

    The issue is going to be a tiebreaker with Pittsburgh.....

     

    Pittsburg plays Cincinnati, Denver, Baltimore, and Cleveland...

     

    Buffalo and Pittsburgh if they tie at 10-6 will have the same conference record because both go 3-1 against the NFC.

     

    Second tiebreaker is common games.....

     

    Cincinati L Pitt, L Buffalo

    New England. L Pitt LL buffalo

    Indianapolis. W pit, W bufalo

    Kansas City L Pitt, L buffalo

     

    Buffalo needs cincinati to beat Pittsburgh so they end up tied at 1-4 common games. A Pitt win gives steelers the tiebreaker.

     

    Third tiebreaker is strength of victory... Based on buffalo winning out snd Pittsburgh losing yo cincinnatio but winning their other 3 has buffalo ahead...but the next 3 weeks will determine this because the last week it's hard to gain any ground, at most you can gain 2 games ( your noncommon opponents)

     

    If Pittsburg loses the next 2 weeks and buffalo wins the next 2 weeks puts them in the drivers seat and turns the bills/jets game into a winner take all game

     

    As for elsewhere around the league......

     

    Cincinnati Denver game coming up..if Denver wins could seal a top seed for Denver with them beating New England.

     

    In 2 weeks Indianapolis and Houston play which could determine who wins the division.

     

    In the NFC....

     

     

    The NFC east is wide open. A Dallas win tonight puts them one game back

     

    Carolina's magic number is 3 for top seed of their wins and Arizona loses.

     

    Arizona is 3 games up with 4 to play. Arizona has a hard finish playing Philadelphia on the toad and hosting Green Bay and Minnesota. Them going 1] with the win at Philadelphia and seatyle going 3-0 puts a winner take all for the west in werk 17. If Arizona goes 1-2 with a win against Philadelphia will go to a strength of victory.

     

    Green Bay and Minnesota have a rematch in werk 17 that could decide the division. This could be a scenario of teams trying yo lose. Would you rather play on the road at the NFC east or host seattle. Under a different scenario it could be where they have a rematch in the first week of the playoffs ( seattle/Arizona is 5 playing NFC east)

     

    Tampa bay and Atlanta are each one game back. Tampa bay has a decent conference record who could pass seatyle if they were tied.

  7. As of now......for games week 14 or later

     

    week 14: at PHL--with them losing on thxgvg not likely

    week 15 at WAS--possibly if Washington wins the next 2 weeks (this week you have a bad game in CIN/SF on currently and not a standout candidate so you have options in this game and GB/OAK, AZ/PHL, HOU/IND and CHI/MIN)

    week 16 DAL--not happening give Dallas lost

    week 17 JETS---good shot if winner is in kind of game or Buffalo controls own fate where they win and in and lose and another team (possibly not the Jets get in)

  8.  

    You're dreaming...They will be lucky if they win in KC on a short week after a huge emotional loss. Then there are the injuries. Then there are the bunch of games against teams that appear to be at about the same level as these BIlls, the middle 3rd of the the league.

     

    No way they win out and go 11-5.

     

     

    Kansas City isn't that good.

     

    Lets see Buffalo lose 3 games to the leagues top 5 teams

     

    The other two loses were due to officiating.

  9. If you guys are talking about that TD play:

     

    http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/11/seattle-seahawks-catch-ruled-touchdown-wrong-short-of-end-zone-butt-replay-luke-willson-russell-dallas-cowboys

     

    Its a judgement of when his but hit the ground. You cant tell for sure his but hit the ground (cloth doesn't count) Its when you have certain but compression is happening at which point the ball is breaking the plane. This is also not factoring in angles of view.

  10. It sucks to have a comeback like that only to lose.

     

    it comes down to:

     

    1. PI call

    2. penalty on Shady's run to the 1 that forced us to settle for a FG instead of a TD

    3. Shady hit causing a fuble at the 2....would have gotten a FG at least.

     

     

    In looking at the standings most of th teams are behind Buffalo in the aFC.

     

    ahead of Buffalo are:

     

    East-New England

    North-Cincinati

    South-Indy

    west-Denver

     

    Jets (2)

    Pittsburgh (3)

    Oakland (3)

    Miami (3)

    Buffalo (4)

     

    next 3 weeks:

     

    Buffalo: bye, MIA, at jets

    MIA: at ne at buf, at phl

    NYJ at oak, JAX, BUF

    PIT CIN, OAK, CLE

    OAK NYJ, at pit, MIN

     

     

    After week 10 Buffalo could be in one of the two WC spots--if not then they would be tied for the last WC spot.
