Big Turk Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I know its not popular and damn if I know how they are going to win 4 more games after watching the last 2, but the Bills are still not in terrbile shape---the AFC is just plain bad...all the teams behind us keep losing. Chargers game next week is the most improtant game of the year. Those players better have that game circled. San Diego loves giving games away, and hopefully they are in a giving mood.

SaviorPeterman Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Ahhh, the annual 'who cares we have been throttled the last 2 weeks we are still in the playoff picture' thread. Sadly these threads will continue at least a few more weeks while we are still 'mathematically' alive anyway. For me (and I'm sure many other fans) the season ended last week in NY, for some holding out a little longer it ended today. Only chance this team has next week is if we make QB change but still don't see it happening just yet, maybe by halftime next week though when this offense continues to sputter.

FLXbillsmafia Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Not that I think the Bills can win 4 more games anyway, but I don't even want to see this team in the playoffs. It is probably the Bills weakest team since 2013. They would just get blown out in KC or Pitt anyway. After waiting this long for the playoff drought to end, I am willing to wait a few more years to have a legit contender break the drought.

Adam727 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If they beat SD next week they are still very much in the playoff race, but only because the rest of the AFC is so bad this year. If they lose against SD, at that point I'm hoping they lose the rest and finish 5-11 with a high draft pick. Unfortunately with IND/MIA/MIA still on the schedule, 7-9 or 8-8 is looking more and more likely every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me (and I'm sure many other fans) the season ended last week in NY, for some holding out a little longer it ended today. OP is right though. Forget 'mathematically' alive. Even after these two embarrassing losses we are still in the 6th seed. Even if Miami wins tomorrow, which seems unlikely, I believe we would still be in the 6th seed too with a better conference record. It all just underscores how bad the AFC is this year from #6 on down. All that said, I don't see how we beat the Chargers either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albwan Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 i said it three weeks ago, they have like one more win in them. watch how good miami looks vs the bills. even without ajayi who would have ran for about 700 yds vs them im not even sure about that one win, indy, anymore, they played like men vs the steelers so even that is shaky.

TigerJ Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Right now, the issue is not whether or not the Bills can make the playoffs. It is whether or not they can figure out how to play competitive football at the NFL level. Ultimately, I'm not worrying too much about this year. Even if the Bills were to break the playoff drought, I did not think they have the talent to go very far in the playoffs. This year is about figuring out if Tyrod can be a viable NFL QB and getting a first impression on McDermott and Beane. Given that Tyrod is currently looking like he is not good enough, it might also be good to get a bit more of a read on Nathan Peterman. By and large, I like McDermott, but two games where the Bills have looked downright putrid has cranked up the pressure on McDermott quite a bit. He doesn't necessarily have to win next week, but he's got to figure out how get his team back to playing fundamentally sound football. For Beane, I think it is too soon to tell much of anything, except that some of his decisions have generated some short term harm despite the mantra of winning now and winning in the future. Hopefully, things start to look better for Beane next year when he's got all those draft picks to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the Dolphins are getting into the playoffs and not ruling out the Raiders making a late push either. Bills are still #6 right now by default but give it a few more weeks and they'll be in official 'in the hunt' status and then what few fans left still hanging onto playoff hopes can start the pointless scoreboard watching each week hoping much better teams start to magically play like crap and lose out.

mjt328 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Logically, the Bills are very much in the playoff race. Behold. Their competition for the #6 seed: - Browns with 9 losses. They are done. - Colts with 7 losses. They are pretty much done. - Broncos with 6 losses and would lose a tie-breaker with us. - Jets, Texans, Chargers with 6 losses. Unsure about tie-breaker. - Bengals with 6 losses, but would win tie-breaker. - Raiders with 5 losses, but would lose the tie-breaker. This leaves the Ravens (5 losses) and Dolphins (4 losses with game tonight against the Panthers) as our primary competition. Both of these teams suck pretty bad. The Dolphins schedule is just as tough as ours, and they play us twice. But of course, the Bills are the physical manifestation of a sports choke job. They have literally been the NFL's worst team for 2 weeks in a row. They other AFC teams are practically shoving a playoff appearance down our throats, and the Bills are vomiting it back on all of their fans. The look on Sean McDermott's face says it all. He just found out what being the coach of the Buffalo Bills means. He was on top of the world to start the season, thinking he was the cure for our pathetic franchise. Then his team forgot how to play tackle football. There are no answers Sean. It's all downhill from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
