Doesn’t one win only clinch it if it’s against the steelers? A win against patriots or jets puts us at 10 wins, can’t Steelers and Tennessee get to 11 and knock us out?
The thing that’s probably been answered already is if the titans get to 11, that means they beat Houston twice, which means Houston would be 9-7 at best. That’s why it’s possible for just one win to make it. If Tennessee weren’t playing Houston twice (with Houston and Tennessee both at 5 losses), then we’d need more help.
We can also clinch, if I’m not mistaken, with all three being losses if.....Tennessee loses 2
Oakland loses 1
cleveland loses 1
So at this point, I would (to not worry), root for Baltimore to need week 17 against Cleveland.
Tennessee probably loses 2 (Hou, NO, Hou)
And Oakland to lose one of I think Jax, Chargers, Broncos (any one works).
So, even if we lose out, it’s going to be tough to miss at this point. We stacked enough wins early on to even “back in” to the playoffs.
Edit: I think we are above the colts in this scenario as well, even if they win out.

Here in the Washington DC suburb of Herndon, we had eight kids. All from our street (a short cul-de-sac). That's a bit light, but not by much. Our weather was rainy and windy. Seems like neighborhood kids pass our street in favor of the busier streets nearby. The leftover candy goes into the trash this morning so that I'm not tempted to cause my blood sugar levels to rise to catastrophic proportions.
I’m down in Fredericksburg, maybe 50 miles away, and the rain held out. It was 80 degrees, so everyone was out with shorts and tshirts. It was nice. There were literally 100s of kids in my neighborhood. We didn’t have candy because we were taking our kids around the neighborhood

Here is who I think we will lose to: Dallas, New England, Baltimore. We might just go 11-5... and might not make the playoffs.
If we go 11-5 with losses to Dallas, and Philly last week, that means we are 11-5, with a 9-3 conference record. Good luck missing out with that record. We’ve set ourselves up for tie breakers. Also, if your scenario came through, that also means we beat Cleveland. I haven’t looked it up, but that puts them at 6 losses, even if they win every other game. So we beat them. Tennessee, Jax, and Oakland have 4 losses already. We beat Tennessee. So remove them. That leaves Jax and Oakland, who can each only lose 1 more just to tie. Again, I don’t know what their conference record would be, but I imagine it would be worse.
I just looked. Oakland has 2 conference losses already with KC and Houston. They play KC again. I assume that would be 3 losses.
Jax also has 2 conference losses. They also have a game against Chargers, so one of those two would have to lose. And chargers are already at 5 losses I believe anyways.
So basically, 11-5 is a lock at this point. The only way it wouldn’t be is if we beat the Cowboys, but lose to Browns instead. And even then, 8-4 conference record would still be tough to beat
-
I still think KC is 2. Buffalo is between 3 to 5 for me. I think anyone could argue any of those positions. We have the 3rd best record (well tied for 2), so you can easily make the case for 3. I wanna see Allen cut down the bad plays. But my biggest issue on offense is the lack of scoring. I know our defense it great, and I know we move the ball pretty well, but those yards aren’t turning into points. When (or if for those who are pessimistic), then the sky’s the limit. Regardless, this is a playoff team, and not a “2017 Bills” playoff team. I think they can win in the playoffs. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost to Houston either. Either way, it’s gonna be a fun 2019-20!

So last year, with the drafting of a QB and breaking the drought the year prior, it was the most stress free season I had witnessed. Wins and losses mattered, but the final season win loss record didn’t stress me out since we finally tasted the playoffs.
Going into this season, I told everyone that I had the same feeling. All I cared about was Allen’s development, in hopes of it giving us hope that year 3 and beyond were more than just playoff chances, but actual playoff runs. I didn’t think I’d get stressed and would still care more about Allen’s development than win loss outcome.
Here we are, at 3-1, and that’s gone out the window. I am excited and nervous because 4-1 with this team and this schedule would set us up nicely for double digit wins, which we haven’t seen in 20 years. We need this game. To me, it has the feel of a playoff game, with full knowledge that it’s just one game in a 16 game season. Our season can turn on this one game. Not to overlook opponents, but 4-1 should turn into 5-1, setting us up nicely for 6-2 at worse. We haven’t won 6 in first 10 games in 20 years either. We need this. Let’s go!!!!

I just have a hard time believing this. I have seen this posted a couple times, yet there’s never a link to any audio. I doubt this is true

0-3 points most halfs? I’m confused too. Didn’t we have 14 last week and 21 week 2? If so, then it’s not most, it’s equal.

I use an Apple TV and have 200mps internet. It’s flawless for me. Been using it since 2015. The first year was the worst as I used a chromecast. Decided to use appletv the following season because I could download the app on it, unlike the first generation where I’d have to cast it to the Apple TV.

To anyone that thinks our WRs are set (I like them), green would still be a great addition. I liken our group to Seattle of the past few years. Sure, they had Baldwin, and he was their go to guy and even put up 14 TDS in a season, but you wouldn’t consider him a true #1 would you? Like Baldwin, I think brown can put up numbers, and likely will be pretty good. But he’s not an AJ Green type that we could definitely use.

I believe what we're talking about is the offseason of 2006 when Gonzalez was looking for a new team. He moved from Atlanta to KC.
The above is talking about a trade from KC to GB while he was under contract with them.
I think he declined a trade to buffalo in 2008, and the article I posted mentions that, as well as GB. Because the GB part of the deal fell through, KC kept him until he was a FA in the offseason, where he signed with Atlanta in 2009
-
I remember hearing that. But keep in mind, when this happened, I believe it was the week before the Chargers game in 2008 with Trent Edwards, who looked pretty good at the time. So I don’t know if the issue was winning as we were 4-1 at that point I think. Maybe he just didn’t want to move further north?
Edit- found this link. I guess it was between us and the packers, so I assume he just preferred GB. But it fell apart at the last second when KC upped their asking price to a 2nd

Maybe we should just stop talking about the QB.
It seems to bother many here.
The thing is, nobody needs to stop talking about. It’s just ridiculous to make a thread acting like you’ve come up with some new idea, when in actuality, it’s been beaten to death. Everyone thinks this season hinges on Allen. Not just this site, but everyone everywhere
Oh, and just typing Josh Allen into the search bar returns 233 pages of results, but nobody has discussed this topic.
-
Well here is a couple minutes of my life I’ll never get back. You seriously think nobody is talking about Allen, or his need to take the next step? This might just be the most absurd thing I’ve read in a long time.
-
I’m shocked nobody has said you’re kids are more important than the Bills, so don’t worry about how to listen.
Seriously though, I’d probably try and listen as well. I’m only kidding about the first sentence

It is funny because 6 months ago my wife & I got in a fight & for some reason(don't ask me why she still kept this) she saved the old pregnancy test from my daughter who just turned 10(I also have a son that is 15). She ended showing me the pregnancy test & said I am pregnant. I would be lying if I said there wasn't a few tears shed by me & believe me they weren't tears of joy. Even though there was no baby she was actually astounded by my response & got even more mad at the way I reacted.
My wife & I don't use any preventive measures either but we rarely even sleep in the same room so I think we are okay?.
Just last week I called my wife up on the phone from work & said "honey I am thinking about the last time we had sex & I am starting to get excited." She said "Who is this?"
Luckily for me, I’m pretty sure my wife is good with our 2, so me being upset with a positive wouldn’t get me in trouble. The difference between us is I am good with just 2 forever, while she’s a little more open to one day maybe having another.
Its funny, when I was younger, I said I’d have however many kids it took to have a boy. If that meant 6 girls, then so be it. After two daughters, I quit. I don’t need a boy that badly.

lol why wouldn't you just get fixed and be done with it
Good question. I guess because my wife isn’t 100% sure she wants to be done, and while I can pretend I call the shots when writing on a message board, let’s be real.

I got divorced last year and have a 4 year old I co-parent. I am dating again and my pool of potential dates shrinks because so many single women want children or want more.
It's one of the questions on Match on their profiles. I'm getting ready to turn 38 and no way in hell am I raising a new born at 40.
I am at the point now where I would probably literally cry if my wife got pregnant. The sad thing is, we don’t use any sort of preventative measures, so maybe I’m just firing blanks at my old age anyways!

I couldn’t imagine 4 at once. In fact, after having 2 kids 14 months apart, I couldn’t imagine 4 total. My wife and I stopped after 2 kids. They are 5 and 4 now, almost 6 and 5 (both born in fall). We are just now starting to feel like the anxiety of young children is gone, and we can finally go places (even just a friends house) without worrying if they will fall down the steps, choke on a toy, etc. I’m much more closed to the idea of another, but I’m also 38 now and can’t imagine having a newborn/1 year old at 40 years old.

Nowhere near as many as I would have liked.
2006 Miami at Buffalo
2007 Denver at buffalo
2007 Dallas at buffalo
2007 buffalo at washington
2009 Cleveland at buffalo (lucky me. 8 hour drive for that?)
2011 Philly at Buffalo (great game and proposed to my wife that weekend at Niagara Falls, probably like everyone else who visits)
2013 NE at Buffalo
Been to a couple preseason games (2x at Washington and one at Baltimore)
Been to a few non-Bills games.
1998 Minnesota at Baltimore
2001 Cowboys at Redskins
2010 Cowboys at Redskins
And the worst? I was so confident buffalo was making the playoffs in 2004 that I bought tickets to the Steelers home playoff game in the divisional round. My best friend is a Steelers fan. Anyways, we obviously didn’t make it so I ended up going anyways for the Jets at Steelers. It was freezing that weekend, but it was a good game. Jets missed a FG to win (or tie, I don’t remember). So that’s my only playoff game. That’s what I get for being so confident. The dumb part is I was certain we would beat the Steelers backups (who wasn’t), and win the first round game (maybe would’ve been the Chargers?). Oh well, one day I’ll see a playoff game in person.

Wow, that's hilarious he tried to pull that and it's awesome you countered him. But that's lame he was able to quit without a loss. 2002 - 2006 was the sweet spot for Madden. After that the game started getting too complex and maybe started out thinking itself imo.
I agree. I was younger, no real responsibility, so I’d be that guy who waited outside GameStop when they would open at midnight for Madden. You’re right about the complexity. Now, it seems like there’s 1,000 different ways to tackle, juke, etc. It was much easier back then. And that 2002-2006 time was the peak (as far as I remember) of Madden Authority, which was some sort of website or something that taught you all the “cheat” plays. There was a dime formation, zone blitz, that once you moved a DL over a bit, someone else would instantly get in the backfield for the sack. I mastered that and killed everyone who played at my house. It didn’t work as well for me online because I feel like everyone did that.

Haven't played madden in a long while. Once upon a time I was ranked as high as #17 after knocking off #2 in the world. Was getting ready to out with some buddies, they were picking me up. I decided to try and get a quick game in, got paired up with a guy ranked #2. My buddies got there early and were honking there horn. I was like Holy crap get in here, I have to play this game! They all popped beers and sat on the couch and cheered like it was a real game. It was Buffalo vs Tennessee in a defensive battle. I could barely move the ball. Scored on a 90 yard bomb just before halftime, then later on a fumble return. Hit a 55 harder as time expired for a 17-16 win. Men those were the days.
I had a similar story in that I was beating the #6 ranked. I was in the top 1000, but nowhere near top 100. Anyways, I was buffalo and he was Detroit (back when they were bad, 2002 or so). I was up big at halftime. Coming out of halftime, he had to kickoff. He wouldn’t kick off, and there was no playclock on kickoffs. So the game just sat there.
It was late and I was tired, and also furious. So I turned all the contrast/color down on the tv to black out the screen, turned the volume up all the way, and went to sleep. Hours later, he kicked the ball off and it woke me up. I grab the controller and start playing. Probably surprised the crap out of him. Then, all of a sudden, he quit the game, and I never got credit for it. He quit in some way that made it not count. I was livid and haven’t played online since, minus maybe a game here or there.
I havent purchased a madden game since madden 12. I have kids now and no time to play. I wouldn’t. change a thing now, but occasionally I think it would be nice to relive just one of those care free days

I tried to take a nap, but wasn’t very successful. I wake up at 3:40 in the morning for work, so tomorrow is going to be rough. With the wins by Texans, Jags, and Cards, I could go to bed knowing we are likely going regardless. Tempting, but I’m sucking it up.
