Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Extending to 20 years. 20's a nice round number don't you think? And I have GREAT faith in their ability to make it. Gimme odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 On a purely mathematical basis- If you assume we don't make it this year (which I assume the odds are greater than 98% at this juncture) and that each yr there's a 62.5% chance of NOT making the playoffs (6 of 16 AFC teams make it each yr) there's roughly a 15% chance of the streak extending another 4 yrs (625 out of 4096).

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 How many years left on Rex's deal? 4? I could see it going 20, maybe even longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Lmao. Sadly so would I. I'm so confident in it that if I could get me a bookie to give me the proposition, I'd do it. Mortgage, car, everything all on that one. It's a surefire winner.

Heels20X6 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 4? I could see it going 20, maybe even longer. Yep, because after four more years of Rex, the team would hire some new flunky who would need 1-2 seasons to implement "his system" only to realize after the first year that that system sucks. We know the story all too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, so that's for a random team, right? But since we are talking the Bills, it's an 85% chance that they DO extend the streak, do I have that right?

This iteration of the Buffalo Bills are the WORST at showing up for big games than any team I've ever seen. Until that changes, there is a 100% chance that the bills will finish out of the playoffs. I'm not sure what part of the team this culture comes from but it's clear as day. You watch a good team, they show up for big games. Buffalo shows up small.

It's in their DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) SO I did a little research. The longest historical playoff droughts in NFL history are 25 years, shared by the Foreskins and Cardinals. In other words, we have 9 years to go to be #1. But at least we'll be #1 at something. FWIW, we're 9th overall on the historical list currently, and on schedule to pass by the Lions into 8th.

Even money because Brady and Belichick don't seem like they are ready to retire anytime soon. As long as those two are in New England Buffalo's chances are 0 to none.

And with the 0 to none chances I'm being optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
