Kellyto83TD Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yeah I know shocking coming from me but look at the schedule. Pittsburgh flat out sucks W Jets at home W (should have beat their asses in NJ) Bye week Atlanta Flat out sucks W Tampa (*) W Jacksonville (*) W Miami at home W New England L (*) these two are vying to tie Detroit for a 'Oh for' this season in the win column. But seriously, look at how the D is starting to solidify and show up. Look at how we can run when teams know we have NO passing game. IF...IF we can quit the dumb assed turnovers and penalties and IF we can get any semblence of a passing game.... We will win 9 games this year! Ok that is an entire seasons optimism for me.

John from Riverside Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 To win every game sounds like a bit much......but I think this is where the bills start going on a winning streak..... I think 8-8 is more likely....which is a considerable improvement from last year.....and puts us in a good position to get a difference making TE in next years draft.

The Avenger Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I still think the Bills will have a few more of those "Coulda Shoulda Woulda" games - games that really should be wins but are losses - we've had a bunch of them so far and I think there are more coming.

Kellyto83TD Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 John, even 8-8 is a HUGE step up for this team. I tell ya what I will take 8-8 esp. if one of those is upsetting NE in NE and knocking Marcia Brady on her ass constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I am absolutely expecting us to win the next 6 games. I don't care what the odds are. We can, and by all means should, win those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss among yourselfs. Unrealistic to expect them to win six of last seven, no matter who they are playing, but remember, NE will probably have nothing to play for in that last game and Belichick is certainly not above resting a lot of starters, especially if the Pats are not going to have a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

There's a very realistic chance that the Pats will be fighting for the #2 seed come the final week. I'm not counting on them resting anyone.

FluffHead Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Everyone always chalks the Jets up as a win when in reality we have rarely beaten them in the Rex Ryan era. They usually punch us right in the face and then we cower in the corner crying. The other games on the schedule I think we should expect to win with the exception of NE.

Boatdrinks Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I doubt it. @ PIT I don't care if they're hardly the same Steelers, they have big Ben and still a nice Defense that blitzes (our weak point) Besides, the franchise has won at PIT maybe twice? Forget it. vs JETS This team always kills us in the trenches and that D is for real. Loss BYE we win this one ATL @ TOR the game usu. sux at Rogers Center. Might as well play in a mausoleum. ATL isn't that good and they can't stop the run. Bills win 24- 20 JAX Win. if not we really blow. TBAY Nice defense at O might be getting it together. I'd say a loss, 28-21 @NE Really? 35-23 pats. Looks like 5-11 to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 So this team can win 6 in a row, but beating the Pats is unfathomable? I think beating the Pats, and losing a few of the six is lots more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looking at the schedule, we can win every game that we have left. But so far, this team has shown that they win ~50% of the games that they could have (or in some cases should have) won. But I'll keep yelling at the TV, because it's what we do.

Boatdrinks Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 There's a very realistic chance that the Pats will be fighting for the #2 seed come the final week. I'm not counting on them resting anyone. Historically BB does not rest his starters. Something will probably be in play for PATS as I doubt the seeding will be all determined. Pats will probably be in division lead and have something to play for. Everyone always chalks the Jets up as a win when in reality we have rarely beaten them in the Rex Ryan era. They usually punch us right in the face and then we cower in the corner crying. The other games on the schedule I think we should expect to win with the exception of NE. Agreed. We usually lose the LOS on both side of the ball to Jerts. Just a bad matchup, kinda like our OL/DL vs KC. We beat them in the trenches all day yesterday. PIT is just like the jets with a better QB, but sketchy OL and bad RB's. Our OL will get mauled by PIT D and succumb yet again to blitz zero pressure looks that LeBeau will throw at us.

Joe Miner Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think if the Bills actually pull off a winning streak, and rack up 5 more wins going in to NE, there is a shot that with their confidence level, plus perhaps NE not having a lot to play for in the last game, that the Bills could sneak 6 wins out. But this is the part of the schedule where there should be no more excuses. They have to win the games they are supposed to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 You know they will choke on at least one or two of the remaining games right? 6-10 sounds like the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 6-10, would be 10-6 and a playoff team had we kept TJax and/or if Hacckett had a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadstroke Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hey, if we win those six you mentioned then we'd being clicking along on a roll and the NE game would be within reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Watch if this happens 9-7 won't get the Bills in the playoffs like it has some teams in the past. But I still see 8-8 or 7-9 with this team. Just seeing HCDM reaction after the game was something to appreciate for a change. At least he wasn't going to kick the dog, just not "pet" it.

Leelee Phoenix Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Watch if this happens 9-7 won't get the Bills in the playoffs like it has some teams in the past. With the Bills AFC record likely 6-6 after being 9-7, odds are they wouldn't get in. Playoffs are realistically done. Either EJ can suddenly show he's one of the best 10 QBs in the league the next 2 months, or lose every game and try again for a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either EJ can suddenly show he's one of the best 10 QBs in the league the next 2 months, or lose every game and try again for a QB. I doubt EJM will look anything like one of the top 10 QB's in the league after a month on the sidelines. He wasn't to begin with before he got injured. I also doubt we lose every game, and doubt even further we draft a QB in the first 4 rounds of the 2014 draft. Probably somewhere in between, say 2 or 3 wins the rest of the way. Maybe a 5th round QB to develop. Everyone's always at such extremes..either he's the next Luck or a complete flop. Rarely are things so black and white. I'd be surprised if EJM didn't look a little rusty out there when he returns, he's hardly a seasoned veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
