Punching Bag Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Dilfer is a tool. But I like the prediction. At least he is a sharp one unlike the dull broken ones who call him a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) True this. Kyle Orton will become a big fan favorite in Buffalo. Don't we all hope!!!! How bout those 1-3 Jets. Let's take a second and look at their next four opponents: @SD DEN @NE BUF We have a chance to eliminate them from contention by week 8. OR they could go 2-2 (heaven forbid better) 3W 5L in the 1st wk of Nov is not great, but you never know. I think 1-3 or 0-4 is the more likely outcome Edited October 2, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't understand how winning the division means home playoff game? We go in as AFCE champ - but a wildcard like San Diego is 12-4 let's say while we are 10-6.... we still get home field advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bunk Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Who cares, for a chance to finally get back into the postseason i'd be willing to buy a ticket to watch the Bills play in Siberia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the rules are such that a wild card team may never host a division champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills fan base is the least qualified fan base in the league to correctly answer this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting the Bills aside, that is why i HATE 4-team divisions. but i guess that's another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If the season ended today the Bills would be hosting the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs. #keepthedreamalive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The AFC East runner up is probably going to struggle to get a wild card. Anything less than a playoff berth is a failure of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devldog131 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I hope he is right. I don't agree this is the right time to bench EJ as I feel he showed enough in 14 games to warrant more time to develop, however, come Sunday I just want the Bills to win. I don't care who the QB is as much as I care about us just winning. So come Sunday, Orton will have my full support even though I don't have a lot of faith he will fare much better. This division is definitely up for grabs right now and we have enough talent to win it for sure. I am still not sure who is better suited to lead us there at QB as we have not seen Orton play yet, but if we can just stabilize the QB situation we can definitely win this division. That being said, my biggest concern is still Hackett. He seems to force is offense on the players rather building one around the strengths of the players. Hopefully Orton fits his offense well because I have almost no faith Hackett will adjust or call a smart game plan. I hope he proves that wrong, but I just have not liked his poor adjustments, his situational play calls, or how he is using some of our playmakers like CJ. And I also hope Orton can get rid of the ball quick like Watkins spoke of earlier, because the All 22 tape is ugly on how bad we have been pass blocking. I don't think we can really judge Hackett's game plans yet. I admit, the decision to throw as much as we did in Houston is a question mark, but judging by how many times receivers were running open and we're either missed or not even looked at, I think it could have been very successful had it been executed properly. If we see better, or even just competent, execution from the quarterback position moving forward with Orton, Hackett's play calling and game planning will be much easier to judge. He had his receivers in a position to succeed in a pass heavy game plan in Houston, but the limitations at the quarterback position sabotaged it from under center.

jester43 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Fixed. yeah really....if you can't finish in the top 6 out of 16 at least every 3rd or 4th year...that's pretty bad. and that really puts the bills failures in perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful but expecting a loss at Detroit and i have no idea how Kyle Orton will play in a Bills uni? No one really does. We THINK he will be an improvement but let's see.

The Detroit game isn't critical at all to the Bills winning the division. It would be nice to get the W in a non-conference road game this week, but the week 6 NE game is far more important to that end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
