dayman Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 We're 3-4. A lot of football left, but we probably have about 2 (maybe 3) losses to give for the entire rest of the season now if we want to compete for playoffs. We've got a much improved Dolphins team and the Pats again, and a good Jets team twice. Plus a Cowboys team that will be healed by the time we play them, as well as a slew of other games we could potentially drop. Best case scenario I can realistically forecast would be: W - Dolphins (use the bye as an excuse to do this) L - @Jets (best case scenario we split and win the home game) L - @Pats (can't beat them, never do) W - @Chiefs (fair to say we win) W - Texans (who really knows but this is best case scenario) W - @ Eagles (again, best case scenario here) W - @ 'Skins L - Cowboys (really don't think we're winning this one, at least not this one and the next one v. the jets) W - Jets That would put us at 9-7. I doubt we make the playoffs with that, and this was me being about as optimistic as possible. Rex lasted 7 games. This season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 7-9 at best. Just accept it. I know part of it was injuries, but not all of it. We're just not that good. Sad that I have to start thinking bout next year in October. There is zero chance we end up 10-6 or 11-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Jets are for real. Split maybe, but will not beat them twice. If the Bills are a playoff caliber team, they will have to win a few tough ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Have to finish in the top 6. Now they sit in eight place. Have Pittsburgh, NY and Miami ahead of them.

MDH Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's not over but they'll have to be markedly better from here on out to have any chance. They'll have to win a few games that they shouldn't. Not impossible but not likely. The loss today is the type of loss that crushes the competitive spirit of teams. I could see them going into the tank the next 3 games. We'll see if Rex can keep the team focused and have them playing inspired ball out of the bye.

Best Player Available Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 no but by turkey day.

zonabb Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Put me down for "it's over." Even with the injury issue, when they come back, still lots of problems, starting with horrible DB play; mediocre QB (yes I said it, he's average); lack of a consistent pass rush; and offensive play calling that is troubling ( still dumbfounded how you call a left roll with the game on the line with a QB who is inaccurate when he's not running and who failed on the same play earlier). I guess some are ok with sneaking into a symbolic playoff spot to get the streak off the teams back but I'd rather not get in just to get crushed on the road. But I don't think we have to worry. The next three, all against the afc east, should have everyone bellying up for turkey and mashed potatoes already thinking about the draft and hoping for a good pick. I can't see how anyone thinks this team can beat NE or NYJ on the road. Best case is they beat the Dolphins and go 1-2 but at 4-6 they're done. I'd put 10 times the money on 0-3 than even 2–1. It's ok to dream but when your eyes are open and you stare reality in the face, it's pretty clear this team is bad despite the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The sad thing is we are wasting a cupcake schedule. The AFC south is the worst division in football by far, and the NFC East is nothing but mediocrity. And we can't beat them. The Sabres will make the playoffs before the BIlls.

Bacchus44 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Had the Bills won in a dominant fashion today, I might have said yes. After today, no...absolutely not. You don't lose three home games and then one on the road to the worst team in football and expect to come out smelling like roses in the end. 6-10 or 7-9 looks & sounds more fathomable at this point - and even that is probably being optimistic.

I doubt we make the playoffs with that, and this was me being about as optimistic as possible. Rex lasted 7 games. This season is over. That's about how I see it, and even that requires us going 3-2 on the road the rest of the way. I hate to say it, but the Dolphins game after the bye is a must win. We could certainly beat the Jets in the Meadowlands, but I've seen precisely nothing to suggest we'll be competitive in Foxboro. So 2-1 is a realistic best case scenario for the next 3, which would leave us at 5-5. Then it would be must wins in 3 pretty even road games -- Chiefs, Eagles, Skins. It is indeed getting to be a long shot .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah, this was it. It'll be a bit before the Bills are mathematically eliminated, but this was the coffin nail that mattered. 3-4 means they can weather one or maybe two losses in the last 9 games to have a chance at a WC. Two wins against the Jets would almost certainly be a must. With those two games, a game at NE and a home game against Dallas (with a likely healthy Romo) it's a highly improbable road even if they take care of the other 5. I really thought 10-6 and the last WC spot was very realistic, but not anymore. 7 or 8 wins is where they'll likely land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably be 8-8. How did we get all of these supposedly great players and regress? Has to be the coaches When I see guys in position to make plays and they don't make them, I don't look at the coaches. Why are so many guys getting a pass? I see bad tackling , guys missing blocks, QBs missing open receivers, committing mental error penalties such as false starts, etc. players have to make plays, period. Too many are not, that's why they are losing games. Yeah, this was it.

I really thought 10-6 and the last WC spot was very realistic, but not anymore. 7 or 8 wins is where they'll likely land. In most years, 10-6 is required but this isn't shaping up as most years. A lot of other teams in AFC have 3 losses already. That said, the Bills haven't shown any kind of consistency and it's hard to envision a lot more wins. The QBing has been terrible and TT needs to start from here on out for them to have any chance. The lack of big plays by the defense is disturbing as well. The pick six today was needed, but let's be honest it was pretty much a punt. As bad a throw as you'll ever see in the NFL. Maybe things will greatly improve as injured players come back but I'm not so sure. Something is just lacking right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The problem with the Bills at 9-7 isn't that a 9-7 team might not make the last WC spot, it's that the Bills won't win that tiebreaker. They've already got 3 AFC losses (3-3) and will likely have more coming with their schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Front Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I predicted 4 wins at the beginning of the season. I am shocked we won 3 so far. I haven't watched a full game all fall. Except for today, the weather has been nice every Sunday, and I refused to watch today's game due to globalism. NFL games are all WWF, so don't let yourself get too bent out of shape when the same five or six teams make the playoffs every year: Pats*, Cowboys, Steelers, Giants, Packers. It's all a joke anyway. Rex knows it and the veteran players know it. I do feel bad for fans with their blinders on and the Pegula's, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
