PrimeTime101 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The path now is now more possible because of this win. Beat Miami twice and Indy. Puts us at 9-7. Here is the key question. Does 9-7 make it to the playoffs this year? Can this team clean up Miami twice and beat Indy? As silly as this sounds my thought is yes on both. Its been a long time that we have seen a clear possible path to playoffs.. do we get there? your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I can't even walk out on that ledge. I don't trust them not to choke. The recipe is play good defense, run the ball, find a couple scores. I don't trust them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 maybe we should have played the Chargers with all our starters 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodman19 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Im not going to be optimistic unless we can steal a game from the Patriots to make up for lost opportunities earlier in the season and build in some buffer for a future let down. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we make it to 9-7 but Ravens need to loose against Titans. 1 minute ago, PetermanThrew5Picks said: maybe we should have played the Chargers with all our starters give it a rest. This is not a QB conversation. Please keep this about the current record and if we can get there. If you want to talk about the QB situation go back to one of the other 10 topics out there about our QB. Kindly Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Considering that 9 wins is usually the absolute minimum required for a post season berth, the Bills are not in bad shape. So they need only to go 3-2 the rest of the way to have a good chance. There aren't a lot of AFC teams with better records , so 9 wins is actually going to give a team such as the Bills a good shot. They have tiebreakers over KC, OAK, and mostly have just the Ravens to worry about. There is no head to head there, so it would come down to AFC record or something like that.

BillsFan130 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I see 8 and 8. Lose to the Pats twice, beat Indi and split with Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I actually think we go 2-3 down the stretch to finish at 8-8...it’s just too Billsy for them to lose a game they should win- especially when they need the W Edited November 27, 2017 by JaCrispy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose to the Pats twice, beat Indi and split with Miami Id say this is the most probable outcome. However, if the Bills can beat the Colts and Fins at New Era , it's hard to think of a more hospitable road environment in week 17 than at Miami.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I see 9-7. Split with N.E. and Miami and beat the Indy. I see the Ravens also finishing 9-7 and I believe they would likely win the tiebreaker over us if that is the case. 3 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: Against a team with zero to play for? hospitable: friendly, welcoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero to play for and the crowd there isn't partisan or very raucous. Seems like a decent bet for a road game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've actually watched football the last few weeks you'd it's a pretty unpredictable sport, teams swing up and down.. I think the Chargers might have done something like that. But if losing is inevitable we might as well throw 5 picks while we do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
