CEN-CAL17 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) The Bills could easily go .500 this year But the 5 games I feel are the most critical are Week 5-7. The first 3 games are winnable. Week 4 at Atlanta not so much But 5-7 are huge!!! @ Cincinnati, Tampa then Oakland at home. next 2 games are later in the season, @Chargers and @ Miami. Buffalo needs to win at minimum 3 of those 5 to have a chance for Wildcard, of those 5 the easiest games may be the 3 away games but I feel they are winnable. Losses I have (no chance) are @Atlanta, @Kansas City and Both New England games. The rest I feel the Bills have a chance, but weeks 5-7 could tell the story then obviously the final 5 weeks with 4 division games. That being said the Bills may slip in with a 10-6 record being 4 of those 5 games are AFC games. Edited July 6, 2017 by 1WATKINS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Isn't every game critical until you're knocked out of playoff contention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snamsnoops Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Isn't every game critical until you're knocked out of playoff contention?Oh you haven't heard, the bills are already out of the playoffs for this upcoming season! I also read somewhere that winning games against the NFC actually hurts our chances! So if we are going to loose games they should be against the NFC teams.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 ...it all starts with the AFCE....SIX critical games.......major factor in standings.......1-5 in 2016 was a killer.....start closer to home with the schedule IMO..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 But the 5 games I feel are the most critical are Week 5-7. How does this work? (they have a bye week 6 as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 How does this work? (they have a bye week 6 as well) Games 5-7. So many perfectionist here. I know you know what I meant you just wanted to correct me, thanks I'm an idiot Isn't every game critical until you're knocked out of playoff contention? Yes they are thanks. Just trying to spur up some conversation here. But I guess the thread should have been about the 16 most critical games this year. That would have been fun.

Games 5-7 is still only 3 games... which are the other 2...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Games 5-7 is still only 3 games... which are the other 2...?@CincyTampa Bay Oakland @LA Chargers @Miami Those are 3 road games that are tough but winnable and Tampa and Oakland are home games that will be our toughest but winnable. Extra... The Denver game I feel we can and will win. Their QB situation, New coach etc doesn't have me believing they are the same Denver team in the past, Von Miller is a beast but that's about all. I guess how I've broken it down is... Games we should win (7 games) Games we should lose (4 games) And Tough games That are winnable (5 games) I do realize they are all tough games but those are the specifics I'm looking at imo. That being said we could easily lose those 5 games and be 7-9. Edited July 7, 2017 by 1WATKINS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 ALL Division games. IF we win those, we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The Divisional games followed by the Conference games have always been the most important games on the schedule and always will be until such time as the way in which you qualify the playoffs changes No surprise during this drought the Bills have always struggled both in their division and in the AFC, usually by losing winnable games in the fist half of the season, last year it was loses vs the Jets and Ravens to start the season, the year b4 the Jacksonville fiasco in the UK, in 2014 that Chiefs home game If you believe these Bills are a potential playoff team, and I havn't come across a single media outlet or an NFL pundit who thinks they are, they have to take care off business, especially at home vs the 'weaker' teams, and vs DIV and the AFC so to me critical must win games early on are the Jets and Broncos, and then road matches vs Jets & Bengals, to those are 4 must wins, that assures a minimum .500 record through the first half, and being 4-0 in the AFC early, and its no biggie if you lose vs the Raiders and Bucs jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
