bills6969 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 If the Cutler-led Dolphins get in the playoffs over us, I will be sick. We need to sweep the fish this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen with half a season to go though. That's the way I see it too! A split with the Dolphins & PATS gets us in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't think the Chiefs are going to win their division. They've loss three in a row an I just have a feeling the Raiders figured it out an d are coming for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus99 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I really do not think we are going to sweep the Fish and also we will not get swept by them either . We will split against them The Saints . If the Bills defense can get some turnovers and sacks that is a win The colts we better win that game ! Kansas City Chiefs . Are the wheels starting to fall off ?? We have a chance to win it ? LA Chargers . If it was in our house I would say an easy win but we are traveling out west . I have bad feeling about this game . That is going to be a loss The Pats Got to find a way to beat them ! At least in our house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a strange take. Miami’s point differential is only better than Cleveland and Indianapolis in the AFC. They were also the 2nd worst team in the NFL going into the week according to DVOA. By all accounts, the Dolphins are the worst team in the playoff race. What exactly have you seen that makes them.a lock for the playoffs? You also realize the Jets beat Miami 20-6 in NY, yes? So the Bills losing to the jets is a predictor we go off the rails, but Miami is still a lock... Nice logical argument you have there.

GunnerBill Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Miami are not making the playoffs. They are an average team and I thought that last year even when they made that run. I see our main competition as being the AFC South and the AFC West. Beating the Chargers and the Chiefs would be huge because we would have the tiebreaker over whoever comes 2nd in that division. We will not get to play either Tennessee or Jacksonville so we need to have a better record than them or hold the AFC record tiebreaker. Currently: TEN - 5-3 - 4-3 in Conf - 1-0 out of Conf (Still to come out of conference @ARI; @SF; vsLAR) JAX - 5-3 - 4-2 in Conf - 0-1 out of Conf (Still to come out of conference @ARI; @SF; vsSEA) BUF - 5-3 - 3-2 in Conf - 2-1 out of Conf (Still to come out of conference vsNO) Realistically if we beat the Chargers, lose to the Chiefs and finish 9-7 then we need to Chiefs to win their division and we would have a realistic chance of getting in at 9-7 even if it was as the 6th seed. The Chargers game is MASSIVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 At this point, let's say our main competition is Jacksonville or Tennessee, and Miami. Everybody else has a losing record, and we have at least a 2 game lead on them for a wild card. Both Jacksonville and Tennessee have very easy schedules down the stretch. One will almost certainly win the south division, and with such easy schedules, it will be tough to beat out the other for one of those wild card spots. To me, this means our primary concern is Miami. And in the second half of the season, we have almost identical schedules. We play each other twice. We both play New England twice and Kansas City on the road. Miami gets Carolina and Denver. Buffalo gets New Orleans and San Diego. The Bills currently have a 1-game lead on the Dolphins. And they play them twice. The playoffs are completely in our grasp. If we are able to take care of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Still very early to be looking at this picture. So many things can swing the outcome. The biggest issue across all of the teams in contention is who can stay healthy for a final push? My guess is that the Bills really only have 3 to lose or they are out in the cold. That’s tough sledding given the remainder of the schedule. They will be lucky to split with the Fish and Cheats*. That suggests they only have one other game to give. A very tough challenge.

RyanC883 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 20 hours ago, ScottLaw said: I'm surprised so many people are surprised by the Jets loss. Jets have played well all year given their expectations and their defensive line was always good. And a thursday night game game where the home team has a big advantage. Bills s were due for a loss, but they got dominated in all phases which is a bit alarming. Really hoping the Dareus trade doesn't bite them in the ass as they lose 3 or 4 in a row with teams running all over us. As far as wild card competitors, two teams will make playoffs from South, IMO. So competition is Miami, Oakland, Baltimore, and maybe NYJ.(I doubt it though) that is the part that most worries me. The Jets could easily have 1-2 more wins this season. Their domination of both lines was alarming, as well as our inability to tackle. Perhaps the fact that we have an "older" team played such a big role in a short week?

dave mcbride Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) In my opinion, it'll come down to Buffalo, TN, and the Ravens. Miami is a bad team and I'm discounting them. Jax is likely to win either 11 or 12 games based upon their remaining cream puff schedule. I think TN wins 9 or 10; their final game against Jax may be meaningless to Jax because they'll have clinched yet still not have a chance at a bye. As I said in another thread, the Baltimore game against Detroit is huge. If Baltimore wins, I see them getting to 9-7, and if they lose, I see them at 8-8. One and possibly two 9-7 teams should get in. Edited November 6, 2017 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I think 9-7 can get us in. Just win 5 and we should be good. Win 6....even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One and possibly two 9-7 teams should get in. If Miami makes it it will be again on the strength of two wins versus Buffalo. They aren't very good but they matchup well with the Bills..........physical line play and they just constantly throw short passes so they are pretty good at doing the thing that Buffalo tries to force other teams to do. But if the Bills can get at least one from the Fish then I agree it's probably just TN and Ravens the Bills need to worry about. Ravens aren't very good either but they still have some quality DNA and have been able to dig deep and outlast weaker-willed teams like Buffalo and squeak into the playoffs before. I can see the Bills getting in and making a trip to Jacksonville for the wildcard game. Dareus instantly resolved their run defense issues. Jags will be a tough out and if Marrone can keep that cast of screwballs in sync they are probably as talented a team as there is in the NFL and a threat for years to come.
