joshmo65 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I got the Bills in at 6-10 winning either the KC or Houston game. Definitely a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The only real "negative" to come out of the Pats*** game was the potential Taylor injury. Otherwise, it's very clear to see that the Bills are pretty close to being what we would call a "good" team, worthy of a playoff spot. There are many scenarios to get the Bills in at 9-7 or even 8-8. Bottom line -- they control their own destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm liking the tie game scenario. Nothing like a probability generator that spits out a result that's occurred 3 times in 3.5 seasons since the overtime rules changed! We're in, folks!

May Day 10 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) I plugged in off the cuff predictions. I have Buffalo at 10-6 in the 6th spot... but it has KC in the 5th with the same record even though Buffalo has the head to head? Pittsburgh out with identical record. Indy out at 9-7. Jets, Miami, Oakland all fade Im assuming those are to be flip flopped. The Bills will play the 4th seeded Houston Texans 10-6. KC Plays Denver 12-4. NE 14-2 and Cincy 13-3 get byes. Buffalo beats the Texans and move on to New England in the NFL I have the Giants winning the east easily, and Vikings and Seattle with the WC spots. Atlanta first out at 10-6 losing the tie with Minnesota. Carolina/Arizona with byes. Carolina's 1st loss in week 15 @ Giants Edited November 25, 2015 by May Day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think the Bills finish 5-1 to go 10-6 Wins: KC, HOU, PHI, NYJ, DAL Loss: WSH But I don't think it's crazy to see 6-0 there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 If you go by Power Rankings, we get in losing to the Chiefs and winning out thereafter. Pittsburgh has a hard schedule an Houston is not going to keep pace. Feel slightly reassured we can still do this but as usual it comes down to taking care of business.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I put in what I expect to happen each week, got the following: AFC: NFC: 1. NE (16-0) 1. CAR (14-2) 2. CIN (14-2) 2. GB (13-3) 3. DEN (11-5) 3. ARI (13-3) 4. INDY (9-7) 4. NYG (10-6) 5. PIT (11-5) 5. MINN (10-6) 6. BUF (10-6) 6. ATL (10-6) Based on that I like Arizona over NE in the SB. Also, based on those records the Bills will get pick 26 in the draft, and the top ten are: 1. TENN (3-13) 2. BAL (3-13) 3. SF (4-12) 4. CLE (4-12) 5. SD (4-12) 6. WAS (5-11) 7. CHI (5-11) 8.

Lose to Dallas maybe. Lose to Washington? I'm planning on being there for that game. I might get luxury box seats from my neighbor. If you go by Power Rankings, we get in losing to the Chiefs and winning out thereafter. Pittsburgh has a hard schedule an Houston is not going to keep pace. Feel slightly reassured we can still do this but as usual it comes down to taking care of business. IMO the Power Rankings is the worst scenario because they have personal bias that affects the #'s. Try Win % then eliminate the 2 or 3 ties Buffalo has and your in good shape Edited November 25, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Bills playoffs start this week, they have to beat KC, NYJ and Houston or they are out. No they don't. They have to win 5 of the 6 (doesn't matter who they lose to in that scenario) OR win 4 of the 6 with both defeats against NFC opponents.

SF Bills Fan Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 If you look at all the most likely scenarios, it's all going to come down to us and Pitt. We win out or lose tomorrow and win the next 5- we are in unless Pitt wins all remaining games. However, we can lose tomorrow and lose another and as long as Pitt loses two, we are in. Luckily, they play Seattle in Seattle Sunday, They also go to Cinci and have Broncos come to town. So they have it fairly tough. If we lose to KC Sunday it is crucial we get a Pitt loss too. My money is on them losing Sunday and to Cinci. We can lose to KC and Washington and still go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true so long as our second loss is not Houston or the Jets - it has to be an out of conference loss.

GunnerBill Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I didn't realize that. In that case, our season isn't over if we lose tomorrow. It most definitely isn't. We can even get in if the second loss is the Jets (although I am not sure that is all that realistic a scenario). We have to have 1 of the next 2 and actually the Houston game is bigger for me. Kansas City are going to get to 10 or 11 wins - I am convinced they get in. I think Houston are a team who if they beat us can still get to 9... they have the Saints at home, Tennessee on the road and Jacksonville home. So if we lost to Houston we need every other game because otherwise that head to head hurts us badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 If we lose Sunday, I don't think we lose to Houston. I am just looking at what are the most likely scenarios. It is more likely that we beat Houston at home. So a loss to KC and to any other team other than Houston to go 9-7 and we are still extremely likely to get in. Given the probable scenario that Pitt will lose at least two of the three likely losses they have.ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, we want 6 wins, but this is pretty accurate to show what the likeliest outcomes will be. I think we will get in. Unless we really screw up. We are in drivers seat.

KDIGGZ Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think it's going to come down to the final week of the season unfortunately. Win and we are in. Lose and we need KC to lose too and then we hold the tie breaker over the Jets. So basically we need to win on Sunday or we aren't making the playoffs. No pressure though!
