At this point, I think there's a decent chance they can finish the season 10-6. I might change my mind tomorrow night....

IF the Bills can win the next 3 AND go 2-2 in the final quarter, they make 10-6. 5 Wins= @Mia, NYJ, Clev, @Oak, GB For the competition, I'll list games where they have a higher (than 50-50) chance of losing: AFCW KC 6-3: SEA, DEN, @AZ, @Pitt, SD. Lose 4 of 5. 9-7 SD 5-4: Pats, Den, @SF, @KC. Lose 3 of 4. 9-7 AFCN: Clev 6-3: @Buf, Ind, @CAR, @Balt, Cin. Lose Ind, @Buf, and one of @Balt or Cin, so Pitt wins division and Bills win head-to-head. Cinc 5-3-1: @NO, Pitt, @Clev, Den, @Pitt. Lose any 3 and they are 9-6-1. Pitt 5-4: NO, @Cin, KC, Cin. Easiest schedule. Hope they win division (Bills have the head-to-head over Clev). Pitt needs to beat Cin twice in case Clev and Pitt are 10-6. Balt 5-4: @NO, SD, @Mia, Clev. Lose 3 and they are 9-7. Scenarios: 1. It's all moot if Bills don't take care of business. 2. If KC only loses 3 more games, then Pitt needs to win AFCN so Bills have tie breaker with Clev. I don't see SD doing better than 9-7. 3. If KC loses 4 more games, then most likely Pitt and Clev get in as Div winner and WC, with Bills as the other WC. It would've been a hell of a lot easier had the Bills beat KC, but I believe they still have a pretty decent shot with #2 be most likely.

GB is a very winnable game. Buffalo and Detroit are very similar teams defensively, and the pack struggle against the lions. They are not the same team on the road. My optimism may come crashing down after tomorrow, but the bills are a very talented team, and IF they can manage to win the next 3 and boost their confidence, they will have a good shot at 10 wins.

They will need to restructure Mario's contract. Also a lot of dead Monet from fitz and Stevie should be gone.

take a look at schedules and tell me who you think will be 10-6 let alone 11-5 and not a division winner? KC has Seattle, Denver, and SD @home and They are @pit and @AZ. Do you think they'll win 3 of those 5? Before ending @KC, SD has Denver and the pats @home and @SF. The north is a clusterfek. There is always hope...

sorry doc, but they still have a good chance if they win the next 3. KC and SD have very tough schedules and it's not a stretch for both to end 9-7. The north will be a mess by the end of the season (kind of like season 3 in game of thrones), and IF the Bills can get to 10-6 then they will be in. It starts Thursday. Now, if they win the next 2, then lose to the Browns, "I will be so done with this team!"

The Bills need to develop a killer instinct quick. The KC should've been no contest. They have to win the next 3, and they certainly can. Despite orton's poor throws, the O might be turning a corner. Finish this quarter 3-1, then split the final 4. I think 10-6 will do it despite being on the wrong end of too many tie breakers. Lose Thursday and it's aloha...

I'll be interested to know which Wall Street bank (he protected against prosecution) he'll be working for...

let's not blame the entire O, it's the Oline and running game. Orton and the passing game have been solid and come through when needed.If they don't get a good running game going this week, Orton is in for a long day.

Bengals will be lucky to win 2 of there last 7 games. They are done.

Well, I think we're getting an answer about one of these teams. I'm looking at the Bengals schedule, and if they lose this, I think they spiral downward.

When I cooked for a living, quite a long time ago, most of us used Macs. I have henckels now, but would love to have my old Mac back.

The Chiefs are a much better team this year than last. That said, since the Bills have home field, I really hope the Bills do something like KC did to the Pats. I'd love to see a blow out, but I'm afraid it's going to be close, and I think the Chefs win in a close game. So, either 34-13 Bills or 20-17 Chefs.

both teams give up about 140 ypg on the ground and almost 400 YPg overall. I'm reminded of KC last year. Or as some like to describe here, their winning ways are not sustainable...

man, is economic literacy in decline...Keynesian stimulus comes from the fiscal side. Any real Keynesian will tell you monetary policy is impotent in recessions. Where do you guys get this crap? Don't conflate your want to criticize Obama with criticizing economic theory. You're acting like a political hack now.

So I was perusing the Nfl stats as I often do, and came across this fact: the Browns and Bengals rank 28th and 30th in yards given up per game defensively. However, They rank 8th and 17th on points given up per game. My question: Is either of these teams legit or are they both paper tigers?

wtf, are you saying the Fed's bailout was Obama's plan?!? Are you trying to say Obama controls the a Fed?!? Speak English man!

Regarding the second one, you'll have to expand on what that empty rhetoric means. My point was that the bailouts were 2 different things; in fact, the Treasury "invested" in the banks via preferred shares. Regardless, it is quite easy to perform a bailout of student loans that is equivalent to the Fed's bailout of the banks.

You are confusing two bailouts. The Treasury (under Paulson) made loans to the banks to fortify capital, and those were paid back. The Fed provided both liquidity loans AND bought most of the bad **** from the banks at face value--those were not loans. In fact, for the first time in its history, the Fed started paying interest on the bank reserves that were increased by the Fed's purchase of that bad ****. Eventually the Fed sold that **** for pennies on the dollar. Fortunately, since they own the printing press, they can lose money until the cows come home... So, regarding the student loans, we could easily change it to the same animal if students defaulted on the loans they have from private banks, then have the Fed buy those loans from the banks at face value...

I agree about his inability to coordinate a better run game, Hackett is a ****ty blocker...

that's twice today I've laughed out loud at your posts. Can you point me to 3 other posts today? I really want to believe in 5...Sorry, I realize I didn't tell you the other one, but you're smart...

Did I tell you about the 5 things I hate?

WhyTF is every publication focused on "5 Things"? Can't one of these reporters have some balls and talk about 6 things, or 4?

Two points, one to reiterate and one to disagree. I've been thinking of posting about Mario, so I'm glad he was in your list. While he has been criticized in the past about taking plays off, he IS showing some nasty out there. I love it when he rag dolls someone! Regarding wholesale house cleaning, I would hope that Pegula(s) has a heart-to-heart with Whaley, and that it's Whaley who helps P make that decision. I think most of us trust Whaley's judgment, so let the insider be the decider. Hope you enjoyed your break.... Ps. As usual, GG is wrong.

And we get older and grumpier....
