Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 1 hour ago, dave mcbride said: In the midst of all this dismal play, let's not forget two things: the Bills have a very reasonable shot to go to 6-4 on Sunday, and they have a decent shot to make the playoffs with a 9-7 record. The loss to the Saints was embarrassing, but it *was* to an NFC team. Going into Sunday's game, that's the game that was least harmful in terms of picking up a loss. Beat LA, Miami twice, and Indy, and they're duking it out with Baltimore for the final playoff spot. There really is no one else if that happens. The Jets are out of it, Miami will be out of it if the Bills beat Miami twice, Indy and Houston are out of it, Cincy and Cleveland are out of it, the Broncos are out of it, Chargers will be out of it the Bills beat them (they'll have seven losses and lose the head to head), and the Raiders will be out of it because they will lose to NE and KC in KC. The Bills have the head to head against Oakland. Basically, if the Bills take care of business against three teams that are really no better than them (but not much worse, if at all), they will make the playoffs if the Ravens lose to Detroit and GB. That is a huge if, of course. Below is the Ravens schedule the rest of the way. It is unfortunately very easy. If they beat GB and lose to Detroit (or vice versa) and the rest of my predictions hold, they'll go in because they'll have a better conference record (8-4) than the Bills (7-5). You hope against hope that the Browns at home will put up a battle against them, but I wouldn't count on it. They should beat GB, but it is in GB and it's not as if the Ravens are a great team. That said, they're coming off a bye and facing a team starting Brett Hundley. At Green Bay (50/50) At home against Houston (win) At home against Detroit (50/50) At the Steelers (loss) At the Browns (win) At home against Indy (win) At home against Cincy (win) Oh, Gawd. I just don't want to hear it. First things first. Stop the f**king run. Put some pressure on the opposing QB. Avoid the stupid penalties on O. Do those things, and we might actually win a game. Or two. Or four. Go on as we've gone for the last two games and there's just no point. We no way look like a team that can beat a dead horse, much less a marine mammal.

Jauronimo Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 1 hour ago, Steptide said: After yesterday I lost all hope of playoffs. I'm afraid the Chargers may destroy us this Sunday. Maybe not as bad as the saints, but I can see a 27-13 loss this week. I've lost all confidence in Taylor I've lost all confidence in this defense. I expected Tyrod to be maddeningly inconsistent although I thought his floor was higher than we saw yesterday. This season rested squarely on the defense playing like a top 5 unit. The Chargers might not attempt a pass and still beat us by 2 or 3 scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Your mistake is assuming any games are perceived as a 50/50 shot for Buffalo to win... This team = 7-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Nice post, Dave, I agree that it all depend on what happens this week in LA, we’ll see if McD can turn this around. I’m not sure about the Ravens though, they have been putrid this year and I can easily see them losing games they should win... especially if they spot the other team any kind of a lead. As for making the playoffs and getting waxed in the first round, that doesn’t matter to me, just get there... it’d be a nice start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch any of the games against the Jests and/or Saints? I seriously doubt it or you wouldn't have started this thread. The Bills will be lucky to win another game this season.

Pirate Angel Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Even if we make a push for the playoffs..it just further stretches out the tyrod taylor era...I cant it anymore having him at the helm isnt worth breaking the playoff drought. Not that it matters he cant win a meaningful game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 1 hour ago, ScottLaw said: Ugh. Extreme wishful thinking considering how overmatched they've looked the past two weeks. The freaking Jets dominated them. Not just beat, they DOMINATED them. The Bills offensive Line and front 7 have to be among the worst if not the worst in the league. I'm still trying to figure out how we won 5 games so far. There will be no miraculous turnaround or playoffs this year. Continue the rebuild.

TheFunPolice Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Rivers has been known to be a giving man when it comes to INTs and fumbles... So you never know The bigger issue is that the AFC is terrible this year, outside of NE. The Patriots are almost guaranteed to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. KC isn't going to beat them when it really matters, and I don't think Brady has ever lost to the Steelers. That's about it, unless the Jags D can rough them up enough and Bortles forgets that he's Blake Bortles. Whoever finishes 5th and 6th is just cannon fodder. But then again, that's why you play the games. Anyone can have the game of their life any week, so get into the tournament and see what happens. Baltimore could very well lose to GB, regardless of whether it's Hundley or Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreigner Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Every member of the organization and every fan should be embarressd because of the last two non competitive games. Why would anyone want to think about playoffs when we were outscored 81-10 (without 3 garbage time TDs) I get it, we all want better, but this team is the laughing stock of the league now. Could they beat the Browns, 49ers or Giants now?. This was to be expected with all the talent sent packing, and McDermott actually had the b---s to say today he still believes in his buddy from Carolina, Mike Tolbert.

Because if the season ended today they'd be in the playoffs, and their primary contenders for the 6th spot have suffered equally embarrassing losses.

Most Ravens fans I know are down on this year’s team, especially regarding Flacco/Marty M. I can see them losing this week at Lambeau if the Packers D shows up.

And the common denominator the last 2 seasons is ....... lack of a passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If we can win games that we're supposed to win, (see San Diego, vs Miami, vs Indy and at Miami) and can some how pull off a win at KC or vs NE or at NE) than I like our chances. Yet if we lose to an expected team than the playoffs are good as done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
