Georgia Bill Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I agree it's going to take 10-6 to get in, and also think not all 10-6 teams will get in. If all goes as well as we could reasonably expect, we would probably need to beat NE in NE the last week to secure a spot. My fantasy - we beat NE and take the AFC East crown. Sweet revenge for the loss here in Buffalo Lot's of ball between now and then, I'm planning to enjoy the ride. Loving this D and the switch to Orton!

Just Jack Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 And then...in true Buffalo fashion, we lose to Denver and Green Bay...We lay an egg in Oakland...and then all we need to do is beat the Patriots 3rd string...and we finish 9-7. The script is written... Except Belicheck does not rest his starters in Week 17, no matter what the playoff picture is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelle Getty Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Yup. That Houston game is going to come back to haunt us. No it's not D-bag Edited October 27, 2014 by Estelle Getty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just saying, Pats have a brutal stretch coming up: home against Denver; bye; at Indy; home Detroit; at Green Bay; at SD. Fingers crossed they find a way to lose three, which isn't out of the realm of possibility. We jut need to handle our business and let the chips fall.

I imagine they'll be favored in all but the Denver game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six of their next seven will be a big challenge for them: vs San Diego, @ Detroit, vs Buffalo, @ Denver, @ Jets, vs Baltimore, @ New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsherman12 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Best bet to win 5 more is beating the Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Raiders, and Packers. That would be 10-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Still trying to wrap my brain around the Cardinals being 6-1 and the number one seed in the NFC. And they have started 3 different QBs this year correct? arians! COY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It would be common opponents, strength of schedule etc That's why I leapt from my seat right behind the goalposts when that Detroit kick sailed through at Wembley yesterday....... it could come down to strength of schedule. Go Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't really get why 4-2-1 beats 5-3. Doesn't it make a tie better than a loss or a win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't really get why 4-2-1 beats 5-3. Doesn't it make a tie better than a loss or a win? A tie counts as half of a victory. 4.5/7 = .643 win % where as 5/8 = .625 win % Note that Cincy already had their bye and Baltimore has not.

I would think 2 weeks to prepare for KC at home they better win that. I would say the Dolphins game looks to be a tougher win to me especially if they lose to SD.

Big C Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Will the HOU game haunt us, or will we all be thankful for our lucky win vs. MIN ? I would say more our win vs. Det. We lost to two great teams in NE and SD and we pulled one out vs another in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver bill Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I looked over the schedule in detail. NE and Miami have very hard schedules coming up. I think NE will pull out a 11-5 record though, and Miami will end up 8-8 and just out of it. I have it ending like this: Den 14-2 NE, Pit, Bal, Ind all 11-5 Buffalo, SD 9-7 In this scenario we just miss, due to the tie breaker with SD. I think the road games to Miami and Denver will be hard to win. KC and GB will also be tough, we likely split those. My guess is we enter the last game of the season against NE with a record of 9-6 needing a win to make the playoffs. NE will be probably be playing for a bye, or home field advantage. My concern is that although our defense is much improved this year, we struggle against top tier QBs. We have some good ones on the horizon: Manning, Brady, Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers. That said, we are definitely in the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 If the season ended today ... So, what you're saying is, we can be the 6th seed, then beat the Bengals in Cincy, then beat the Broncos in Denver and then beat the Patriots in Foxboro and were in the Super Bowl! Cool.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 before we worry about the P word, we need to (worry about) see the O have consistent 5+ play drives. Scoring with each would be great. just trying to avoid the being let down by being over confident who wasn't worried when Vick brought the game to 7 point difference?
