Big Turk Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 They beat the right teams...Chargers game is key. If the beat the Chargers, Colts and Dolphins twice regardless of what elae happens Bills have a 92% chance of making the playoffs. If they get to 9 and swap the Saints and Chargers games for wins and losses their chances drop to 60%. If they manage to get to 10 wins they make the playoffs 99% of the time and it wont matter who the wins come against... Bills in the best position in a long time to end drought as the rest of the AFC is mostly bad this year...they need to take advantage... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets strive for 10 . 10 would be ideal...but it is good news to know that if we lose to a mighty hot Saints team, all is not lost...have to take care of the remaining AFC games. Obviously we all want us to beat this Saints team, and theres a 50/50 chance we could. This is a refreshing take about only getting to 9 wins though...something that SHOULD really be attainable (and would set up a HUGE week 17 for the Bills). Lets start the march to 10 though by getting a big win this weekend! DEFEND OUR DIRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 We all realize the Chargers game is a MUST WIN...but do the Buffalo Bills? Hate to say it but our ability to win clutch games on the West Coast is suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The Bills have to improve on the road. I still think the magic number is 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course, if you don´t feel secure with a 99% chance then the Bills have damage you really bad. I know that we are talking abour our Bills and that 1% is very Billsy, but comm´on we have to make it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Funny thing is, I think that happened two years ago. We controlled our own destiny when a bunch of other teams lost....and then we proceeded to **** the bed.

The last 17 years have just blurred into one long bi*c* fest and I can't remember what it feels like to have our team sniffing the playoffs realistically. I know we were "close the year we played the Steelers in the finally, but that team wasn't as good as this team is and knew then when we were playing their backups we were going to suck it up and lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Call me naïve, but I am optimistic for our chances. However wouldn't it be funny if we beat the difficult teams (Chiefs, Patriots 2x, Saints), and lost to the bad teams the other 4, and didn't get in? That would be the most Billsy way to miss the playoffs. I mean at the beginning of the season would you see us: Beating: Broncos Falcons Buccanears Raiders Saints Patriots Chiefs And losing to: Jets Dolphins Colts Bengals Panthers Chargers Which brings me to my final point. Last years schedule is meaningless, so don't bother whining in April about how we have a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I was thinking about this scenario last night as well. If we concede two losses to the Pats*** and a loss at KC, the other five games are very winnable and taking even four out of those five makes it more likely than not the playoff drought ends. Win all five and it's a virtual certainty. (and by the way, I hate conceding any games, just trying to take the most critical view -- KC has not looked unbeatable lately and even though the Pats*** are winning they've been far from impressive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
