BeginnersMind Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Take a look at that sucker. Not easy for them going forward. Don't like that they get to play Raiders "on the road" in Mexico City. Conspiracy! Looks easy for them. They own the AFC East teams so those should be wins. Perhaps they lose 1 (to the Bills!). Assume they lose no more than one of Raiders, Broncos, and Steelers. Another division title is nearly guaranteed at 13-3 or 12-4. I can't see them finishing worse than 11-5 and no one in the AFC East is going to be 11-5. Bills and Dolphins would be thrilled with 10-6.

Say we drop 2 to NE 1 to KC The other games...we could lose one But I expect we beat NE at least once. The matchup is entirely in our favor And short of Oakland who matches well against us but history shows we beat... I look at only Miami and KC as teams who match up correctly against us to beat us. New Orleans also is poised to bring us slow steady offense and best our defensive efforts. I see no more than 3 losses ahead if I try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorPeterman Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Take a look at that sucker. Not easy for them going forward. Don't like that they get to play Raiders "on the road" in Mexico City. Conspiracy! On paper there are some challenges but the Pats always seem to keep rolling. What sticks out the most is playing 5 of 6 on the road after their bye week including 3 straight with the Bills first. Would be interesting if the chargers could find a way to shock them this week but not holding my breath. Still think they probably finish 12-4 worst case.

I love what McD is building but this team could lose to anyone, as evidenced by all the tight margins of victory. I predict 2 losses to NE 1 in split with Miami 2 losses in Chargers, Saints, Raiders, Chiefs And that's with an assumption that they win Jets (road and short week), Colts, Miami. That gets them to 9-7. Not an easy route to 10 wins. Edited October 25, 2017 by BeginnersMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting an extra man in the box didn't work for Tampa or Atlanta whos defense is equal to NE. It sure as hell didn't work for Denver who has better safety and DB's NE has DL to get pressure. But if we let Taylor return to his style of being slippery he can elude those DL. And if we are back to 100% at WR with Clay healthy we can exploit their D and score 20+ pts If our D is healthy I cannot see them scoring more than 20 unless they somehow find a way to run the ball like they never have.

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 That is good to know. Pats could lose several of these. Including one to us. I don't see them getting to 12-4 at all. But then again, I didn't see them winning the division for 100 straight years! Fish beat them once, because they are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Chargers @broncos @raiders Fish @BUFFALO @fish @Steelers BUFFALO Jets The stretch of 2 Bills, 2 Fish and a Steelers game could be big. From @ Miami on MNF to Denver hosting them for SNF, there are a few games that can give them trouble. And Denver has been able to do so with Von Miller and Co. I can't see them winning more than 2 games against Miami/Buff/Miami. And more than four by the time you add in a second buffalo or Steelers game. That's a tough stretch when they're often hurting. 3-4 losses easily in their schedule out them them between 10-6 and 11-5. If we beat them and can beat common rivals we win the division.

Fadingpain Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I think this could be the year we split with the Patriots, assuming both are competitive games that both teams try to win. And we may have to do that to get to 10 wins. I'm OK with that; that's a great challenge for this team. Beat NE and maybe get in the playoffs.

The East is totally up for grabs imo.. None really. But the question was.. Where are there 4 losses on their schedule, making it sound like the Bills have a easy schedule. So I listed 5 I think the Bills will lose. Hope that I am wrong They can easily lose @ Den,@Buf,@Pitt , @Oak , @Mia , even home vs Buffalo,SD,Mia.. Again, have you seen them play?? They are not a powerhouse by any means, people need to stop talking about their past and look at their 17 play, which has been very average at best.

Bills don't have any easy games left chargers aren't scary. They're timing and ball control. As long as our running game can continue to find legs we will be ok. We can key on their quick LB's and survive Patriots have too many defensive weaknesses that we can overcome. We can realistically sweep them this year and I am half believing we will. No reason to see us losing to the Jets. Our defense will shut down KC and it'll be big plays to beat us. That could be a loss. Depends which offense shows up. We only hve to score 20 to best them.

Actually that plays into our defensive strength, except for that blown coverage against Howard last week and the Cicni Game (one or two others i am no doubt missing), Bills have been very good at stopping the big plays, it has been the short & intermediate passing routes that have killed our zone for yards. You are so ignorant. So it is Pittsburgh in the North, Dallas in MExico City but it looks like it is going to be real loud in support of NE's "away" game in Mexico City.
