BmarvB Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Winning 5 of the last 6 games is possible even if it may not be probable. But if they do it, finish 10-6, and still don't make the playoffs, how many of you would consider it a successful season, and how many would kick dirt on them and scream for some heads to roll and players be sent on their merry little way?

JustWinPlease Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I don't think it's going to happen. I don't see them beating Oakland, and I also think they'll lose to Pittsburgh. They struggle against good QB's, and until they beat one I'll expect more of the same. I think all the "playoff" talk is a little bit crazy, I just don't see this team going 5-1, or especially 6-0. They needed the Ravens, Jets and Dolphins games, that was their season and in two of those they had a roster at full-strength.If they couldn't beat the Jets, I don't expect them to beat good teams who are playing for their divisions or the playoffs.

Manther Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yea. They'll lose a couple more along the way. My guess is Oakland and Pitt or Miami. Or all 3. 8-8...is my thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 When the Bills are healthy they can play with anyone....and I mean anyone keep the faith my friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 8-8...is my thought. 8-8 means losing the tricky ones and beating the poorer teams left... I actually think they might beat the Steelers and be at 8-6 with 2 to play... only to blow it against Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 To the OP, if the Bills make it to 10-6, i will likely consider that a very positive step in the right direction, and a good indication of resiliency in overcoming injury adversity. To make it to 10-6 means either the defense really stepped up, or Tyrod, or both. So, playoffs or not, I'll be encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Success is measured by if you make the playoffs or not, especially if your team has not played in the playoffs in 16 years. 10-6 with no playoff birth is garbage.

MAJBobby Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I am going to be honest here. (Well like always). Depends on how we get to 10-6. Are we scraping by teams we should dominate ala Cincy? Or are we going out and crushing those teams like we should SanFran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Not every one of course The team got off to a slow start this year. Im not disputing that. But that's the point. Cincy a win a good team would have dominated them. The only games that there is a ? Thrown into is division games. Sneaking past a Jets team that is down is different than sneaking past a bad really bad Cincy team. Edited November 22, 2016 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 There was a time when we were LOSING these ugly games.......just sayin The bills are beating the teams they are supposed to beat. It is progress. This is the same sh*t we hear every year. This year is no different than most of the other years during the decades of ineptitude. The Bills hover around .500 and finish within a game or two of it. In terms of results, absolutely no progress is being made. Zero. None. Zilch. SOS. Unless a dramatic turnaround is made in the next 6 games the Bills will finish with a very Billsy record yet there will be people out there trying to sell us on the positives. These are the same people that have sold us this tainted merchandise for the past 16 years and get upset at their fellow fans when they don't want to buy it.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) a win by 1 or 100 is still a win and makes no difference. These are all NFL teams Exactly. I like how some Bills fans think this is CFB. Like the Bills vs the Jags is Alabama vs Vanderbilt. Get over yourselves. IF the Bills finish 10-6 it is a huge step in the right direction. It would show progress and show that Rex and Whaley have things moving in the right direction. You ask anyone who has ever played the game at the NFL level and they will all say the same thing. The level of talent from the best roster to the worst is very slim. Edited November 22, 2016 by atlbillsfan1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
