atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The problem with Denver is that you're never going to "shut them down" no matter how good your defense is. They're beatable if your defense can do a good job at slowing them down AND you have an offense that can keep pace with theirs. I think that's a pretty tall order for the Bills. We've only really scored a lot of points on bad teams and have struggled to run up the score on good teams even when we're dominating the game. Denver's defense is pretty damn good. We're not going to win that game kicking field goals all day. St. Louis did and the Bills D is much like theirs. Also that game was in a dome. Personally I like the outdoors better be Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Playoff machine is fun, but at this point it's just messing around and having fun. I have us getting to 10-6 and missing out because the AFCN does beat itself up. I think we Cincy to beat whoever they can. They play Pittsburgh twice and can effectively knock them out with two wins. As long as we beat Cleveland, Cincinnanti can lose to them and it won't make much of a difference to us. The Phins still have three division games left and a current 2-1 record. They need to lose at least two of those games to ensure that we, at worst, tie with them in division record. That being said, I see them going 9-7, with loses to NE and Baltimore. 9-7 isn't getting you in without serious help. So if they go 9-7, we go 10-6 and it doesn't matter what their division record is anyway. Yep we need to cut our losses with the AFCN, and hope one of those teams proclaims themselves division leader. If they beat themselves up, it makes it that much harder for us. I had Houston winning so many crap games that they all of a sudden stole our playoff spot at one point haha. They've got Jacksonville twice, the titans, colts, and ravens. We want them to beat the ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've done the ESPN predictor today...... I have the Bills, Miami, Kansas City and Cleveland all getting to 9-7 and missing out. I have the two wild cards going to the Steelers and Bengals (Ravens winning the North). In that scenario we would go to New England on the final Sunday with a chance.... and if I turn that predicted defeat into a predicted win.... well, who knows. I agree with what BillsVet is saying to some extent - this team has come up small three times when it has really had a chance to take a stranglehold on the season - but I don't know.... maybe I'm a wild optimist but sometimes strange things spark a team and the week the Bills have just lived through and then to come out and play as they played last night..... something like that might be what it takes you know. I've seen teams that didn't look play-off calibre get hot this time of year before.... Washington a couple of years back springs to mind and most remarkably a Giants team that was ready to dump Eli as a failure rode it's defense and then the QB got hot all of sudden in 2007 and we know how that ended. I'm not saying we will get to the Superbowl... I'm not even saying we will end with a winning record. I'm just saying the manner of last night after the week that had gone before might be a catalyst. We still have hope fellas. Miami plays the Jets twice, Baltimore and Minnesota at home, then at Pats. They have a very good change at winning 10 games now. Bills blew that on.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 there was talk on sports radio about the AFCN teams being abov .500 and the NFCS being under .500 by 3 games the AFCN plays the AFCS and NFCS ......... both crappy divisions. Hoping the AFCN falls apart when they play tougher teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am still hoping the Bills make the playoffs but understand that it most likely wont happen. That being said, I am hoping they at least finish with a winning record CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Miami plays the Jets twice, Baltimore and Minnesota at home, then at Pats. They have a very good change at winning 10 games now. Bills blew that on. Two wins against the Jets and a win against Minnesota gets them to 9. I see Baltimore really going on a run down the stretch. I think they have grown as a team as the season goes on. I have Baltimore winning the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) who to root for??? Denver at Kansas City - no brainer here GO Peyton San Diego at Baltimore - either way this won't help Cincinnati at Tampa Bay - not looking good New Orleans at Pittsburgh - this would help if N'Awlins can get off the losing streak Cleveland at Buffalo 5800 seats left ... will the NFL help out and void the blackout with the blizzard?

CodeMonkey Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Cleveland at Buffalo 5800 seats left ... will the NFL help out and void the blackout with the blizzard? No. Show me the money baby. But with all the Browns fans in the area, plus their local fans travel well, I have to believe that it will sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 who to root for???

Root for Cincinnati to win. They already lead AFCN and I say just give it to them. They still play Pittsburgh twice and a couple wins could knock them out in the process. Baltimore has an easy schedule, san Diego's is hard. Part of me says San Diego win because of that, but I also think if Baltimore is going to win a bunch anyway, they might as well win out and drive san Diego down now. They can't tie with us.

Tampa winning doesn't hurt us though. If the AFCN doesn't pan out with Cincinatti taking the title, then they could be the team competing with us for the wildcard. In that case, a tampa win would surely help us. Edit: That said, I don't think Tampa has a shot haha. Edit2: I just realized why the AFC North has such good records. I knew they played the crappy AFC South this year, but it never clicked that they also play the worst in league NFC South. Those 2 divisions have a combined 28 wins. 8 teams with a combined 28 wins 59 losses...... On top of that: the Browns played the Raiders (1-10) Edited November 26, 2014 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
