NoSaint Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 well, if you swap the KC Arizona game for ours - 5 afc playoff contenders are sure to lose (but 5 are sure to win). Chiefs playing the nfc is the only exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Six of the seven with the Bills at Denver is a "realistic" possibility. expect a lot of it, with the nfl putting division games heavily in december. with the entire AFC within a couple games, there should be a few weeks coming up where just about everyone plays each other. itll be interesting to see if anyone gets hot and a gap develops or everyone splits everything and it stays incredibly tight.

I think it's unlikely that someone separates, unless one team gets REAL hot--hotter than they've been all season. That's why I rolled my eyes a few weeks ago when even the national pundits said it would take 11 to get in. Shoot, at this point, it's easy to find ways that 9 will do the trick!

hondo in seattle Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've been so focused on the difficulty of the Bills remaining games, I failed to notice the challenges that the other 7-5 teams face. Amazingly, they're all facing teams with 7 or more wins. IF the Bills beat Denver, the playoff hunt will be very interesting down the stretch. If we're truly good enough to beat the Broncos, there's a fair chance we'll go 1-1 versus NE and GB and we should beat Oakland, leaving us at 10-6.

As many others have noted, they have only themselves to blame for being in this predicament. When you have opportunities to win games right in your grasp and don't take advantage of them, regret is the eventual sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly looking for opinions I think they actually have a decent home field advantage...but my gut says KC wins that game It's fair to say that. But they also have no running game. But they've made a killing this year on big play opportunities. The KC dink and dunk model doesn't bode well if Arizona--at home, with that nasty defense--is playing their game.

TPS Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Miami's win last night was huge. They play 3 of their last 4 games at home--Balt, Minn, and Jets, and get the Pats away. Miami is tough at home. I think they are in the driver's seat for a wild card at 10-6, as long as they win their home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is tough at home. I think they are in the driver's seat for a wild card at 10-6, as long as they win their home games. No doubt. I was praying that Geno would make a uncharacteristic TD throw to win the game but it just seemed like the Jets were hell bent on not trying to score points. Last night was terrible for the Bills playoff chances given the disparity in strength of (remaining) schedule between Buffalo and Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Chiefs suck, and the Cardinals suck too. Denver was 2-2 against the NFC West. Chiefs are actually 2-1 thus far, and should have beat the 49ers somehow. Andy Reid is a good coach, that is the only way that team wins. They suck against the run but don't let up rushing touchdowns, they have no TDs passing to WRs, they somehow win. Cardinals hopefully beat them. Chiefs have Oakland 3 tough games left too, although not nearly as tough as the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Not that I believe the Bills will win this week, it's quite a longshot as everyone knows. But... If we do win, let's just say, we will be coming home, riding higher than high, with a three game win streak, and the team itself will truly believe they can play with the Packers. And then anything can happen. It's not like I'm predicting it. If I had to bet it's two losses. But if we do somehow pull out a win, with all those losses to teams we are fighting against, as well as an 8-5 record coming off a Denver win in Denver, the world will be a different place for at least a week...

Koufax Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I agree. No way the Bills get in with 9 wins. There are a bunch of ways that don't involve the Raiders winning in Lambeau or other impossible things, but the Dolphin win last night cut off a fair amount of them. But some pretty simple and likely outcomes plus Jets over Dolphins, Browns over Ravens week 17 have us in at 9-7. I don't expect it to happen, but if were to hit the final week at 8-7 it is fairly likely we won't officially be eliminated going in to the final 60 minutes. But one certainty is that seven wins will not be enough, and the road to 10-6 or 9-7 goes through an eighth victory. Right now we just have to find a way to win #8 and let a few other chips fall into place with some help pretty likely this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
