BobChalmers Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I think 4 wins is the about the best that can be expected They have only this week finally put together back-to-back wins, and all 3 of their main offensive weapons sure seem like they are on the cusp of re-injury (Tyrod, Watkins, McCoy). Lose any of them for more than a game, and it's all over. I see 9-7 or 8-8...a miracle might get them into the playoffs with 9-7. 9-7 with tiebreakers (which they have in abundance so far - WILL be good enough. 9-7 may sound like nothing in the abstract, but to need 10-6 TWO other teams have to get on a big roll to 10-6. Who do you think that is? OAK, PIT, NYJ are the only ones with a prayer. HOU, MIA, or KC would need to go 7-1 to make 10-6 - yeah right. OAK would need to go 6-2. They're a rising team, but that's not going to happen. Edited November 13, 2015 by BobChalmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 soooo EJ's fault? All joking aside, if we do miss the playoffs by one game, then of course you can logically say that EJ blew the season for us that game by crapping all over himself. Obviously it depends on what happens the rest of the way though. 9-7 with tiebreakers (which they have in abundance so far - WILL be good enough. 9-7 may sound like nothing in the abstract, but to need 10-6 TWO other teams have to get on a big roll to 10-6. Who do you think that is? OAK, PIT, NYJ are the only ones with a prayer. Agreed. But not to get too far ahead, getting that 5th seed as opposed to 6th would make the difference between playing at indy instead of playing at one of ne/den/cincy.

metzelaars_lives Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) isn't it always. Just look at what he did to the team last night! Are you implying that the Jaguars game was in fact not EJ's fault? Look, I know you guys got all cute after the Bengals game with the whole "the run defense- that must've been EJ's fault too, right?" If a pitcher completely sucks in a game and gives up 9 runs in 2 innings but a batter on his team also goes 0-5 with 5 strikeouts, would you say, "oh those 5 strikeouts- I guess those were the pitcher's fault too, right?" No they weren't. But that doesn't change the fact that the pitcher also sucked. EJ sucks. No one ever blamed EJ for something not having to do with EJ. Get over it.

Prickly Pete Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) are you saying players may get hurt playing football? Yeah, I am (and that this team can't win without all 3 of those players). I'm also noting that these guys appear to be nursing injuries that kept them out of games (or serious affected their performance) earlier this year. Do I know the old saying that "everyone is injured at this point of the season? Sure, I also can see when guys get up limping on the same leg injury they just came back from, or favoring a shoulder that was injured. I don't think it's silly to think they might have a recurrence, and that it could bring back the kind of limpid offense we saw without those players (and the offense wasn't very good yesterday). This team is not going to win 5 more games. Edited November 13, 2015 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southtampacane Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Who do you see Bills beating rest of way? @Pats @Chiefs Texans @Eagles @Redskins Dallas Jets We can win any game on our schedule, but could also go 3-5. After last night my heart says this team will get to 10 wins, but I think 8 or 9 is more likely. Something is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan in MD Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I know that the best attitude is to view the Pats game as non-essential and a "nice if they can do it" kind of thing, but it's damn hard not to think about a win that could ultimately turn out to be a defining moment for this team . . . Seriously, a win on MNF changes everything, both in terms of expectations and how the team is viewed both inside and outside the fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 @Pats L @Chiefs W Texans W @Eagles L @Redskins W Dallas L Jets W I think we will blow a close game at either KC or Philly. That will bring us to 8-7 going into the final game vs the 9-6 Jets. Winner goes to the playoffs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
