MDH Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 While I don't think the Bills make the playoffs people's perceptions will change if the Bills beat the Chargers and the Ravens lose to the Pack. That happens and suddenly the Bills chances look much, much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatonka68 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It was over on opening day. The Bills record is a mirage, masked by turnovers. The best thing to do is "TANK". Franchise QB or bust, Tyrod sucks and if Petermen was that great he would of won the job in preseason. They will beat INDY and MIAMI at home and that is it. Another 7-9 season.

leonbus23 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Those were two really terrible and lopsided loses. But if we can win at Los Angeles, we have a legit shot. Miami is as bad as us and so it Indy. Have to cheer to the Ravens to lose a couple. We lose Sunday, it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that really prove or do for this team moving forward? This team is done. Apparently it's come to the point where people are actually rooting for 8-8?? That's cra cra!! It gets them into the playoffs and breaks the string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely is they split the games they can win and lose to NE (x2) and KC. 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Brissett is playing much better in recent weeks, so the Colts definitely aren't guaranteed wins, and the Chargers always beat us away. I could see us sweeping the Dolphins or getting swept, it's a toss up, so may as well say split there. The Pats will annihilate this team, no doubt about that. The WORST thing I can possibly think of for the rest of this season is what Kareem Hunt will do to this defense. I could see 200+ yards on us EASY. If it's not a blowout by the 4th quarter, this guy could be the first RB to rush for over 300 yards in a single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Agreed. Still, what is the over/ under on” We still have a shot at the playoff threads.” Between now a statistical elimination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) It was supposed to be over week 1. This is yet another year 1 of a rebuild cycle. The D got way more turnovers than is sustainable for a season in the first few weeks, combined with it being the softer part of the schedule, gave then a deceiving record. Bills fans are hungry for any success so they jumped on this start as a playoff run, ignoring what they knew before the season began. The Bills were never meant to make the playoffs this year, if they do, treat it as a gift from the gods. But don't expect it yet.

Patrick Duffy Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hey, it's that time in the month of November where the Bills hold their own destiny. Lol, I'm familiar with this story. Even without P.Rivers playing I still don't think this team can win on the road, especially with what we have seen the past 2 games. Would'nt surprise me to see a couple more blow out losses at home either. But hey, we'll see what happens right....I mean you got to trust the process.

They really do control more of it then in recent years, due to the lousy AFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand both those opinions, and not to say you or anyone who espouses such belief is wrong, but looking at the current situation, do you really think they couldn't positively contribute to the Defense? Regardless of Darby's strength, I believe he would certainly be better than Leonard Pitts and Ragland may have a more natural fit to the 3-4, but hard to believe he couldn't have spelled Brown as MLB or helped Humber or Lorax at outside assignments. My point is that getting rid of those two guys, given the lack of depth in both of those position groups made less sense to me, not that I didn't understand the perspective or "hated" the move, it just was unwise IMHO.

Darby I'd say yes. Ragland I'd say no. Ragland simply didn't show much at all in preseason and the guys on the roster played much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 5 and 11 can happen. All of our opponents have sufficient tape on us to know that you can run on us and stack the box. Very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
