The “Billsiest” way for the season to end

Their RB is on a hot streak and our Run Defense has been horrible. 

Their defense has put the heat on the other team QBs and we have a pretty bad QB situation.

 

I don't think the Bills have a favorable match up. 

 

You haven't been paying attention. The Bills run D has been better the past couple of weeks than it was in the dark days of the three-game skid.

Huh? The Colts had 163 yards rushing last week.

yeah, on 36(?) carries.

 

Come on, dude. Don't be dense.

lets be more realistic.  Bills win this week as they defend their artificial dirt and lose next 2.

This is what I was thinking.  They win this week, everyone on this forum starts thinking that things are finally falling into place, then they dash our hopes. Again.

 

However, another Billsy move would be to lose, lose then win.  That last win just hurts the draft pick.  Not much, but enough for people to grumble about it.

[Jobot]

Nope

 

Week 15 -  Win

Week 16 - Lose = must win with help from others going into week 17

Week 17 - All necessary help from other teams goes our way but we lose.

[SoCal Deek]

Creative everyone but not quite there yet:

 

The Bills win out and 'qualify' for the playoffs but a firestorm of league wide harassment claims causes Goodall to cancel the playoffs.

[Chandler#81]

Good to hear from you, Stojan.

Not sure if it’s Billsy, but I don’t see us winning again this season. If the Gods have to literally ‘blizzard’ us a win at home vs. Indy, no way this somewhat over-achieving group of marginal players wins again. jmo 

[PABillsfan23]

Billsiest way..

 

win sunday lose to New England 

 

All they have to do is win in Miami week 17 to get in and they lose.  IMO that’s the Billsiest

Agreed + all the chips fall into place from other teams that would have been needed week 17

[Chuck Wagon]

Nah, the most Bills way would be dominating Miami on Sunday, getting smoked by the Pats in week 16 but still getting all the help we need to be in a "win and you are win" week 17 game, where we lay a complete egg and Miami beats us 9-3. 

[dpberr]

We make it to the playoffs versus the Titans.

 

It comes down to the last play of the game, only this time, we are returning the kick.

Would not be the worst case scenario.  If the Bills lose out and the Chiefs lose out, we could still be picking twice in the 12-15 range.

[Nanker]

Bills’ bus breaks down on the way to the stadium in week 17. They end up forfeiting the game.

C'mon man. The blizzard was hard on both teams, and we were down to QB3 for half the game

I’m hoping for the playoffs as much as anyone; I promise I am. 

 

But having seen this team “Bills it” more times than I care to remember, I’m going to type out the way I see this playing out, hoping that by predicting it, there’s no way it can actually happen:

 

We beat the Dolphins Sunday, win a close one against the Pats, and then lose in the last minutes to the Dolphins in week 17. 

 

And of course, all the “help” we need to sneak in with 9 wins will somehow either play, or get flexed to, Sunday night, and not help us at all. 

 

Merry Christmas. 

 

 

So true

[theAteam]

We lose this week vs. Miami at home

 

But then everyone else in the hunt loses as well. 8-8 might just get in

 

We lose to the Pats as usual.

 

A win in Miami might just be enough. An 8-8 team will get in as the #6. Everyone does the advanced calculus required and we need about 3 games to go a specific way but it's possible.

 

We lose anyway and go 7-9. Later on, come to find out a win wouldn't have mattered anyway as the other games panned out wrong but Bills fans still complain 6 months later that a win would've gotten them in.

[Albwan]

Bills go up 27-0 on the pats in the third quarter, and lose 28-27

vs pats backups on the final play.

It needs to be epic since we have seen almost every billsy way

to lose or not make the playoffs in the last 17 years.

[Charles Romes]

Any outcome other than miraculously making it to the show will be equally Billsian

playing great and collapsing, sucking the whole way, sucking with a sign of life after it's too late to induce false hope, or playing mediocre the whole way are all equally and profoundly Billsian. 

[Sweats]

The Billsiest way to end the season would be to need a win for the final game to get us into the playoffs............and lose to 3rd stringers

 

I cant think much more of a Billsiest way to end the season, honestly.

[Xerx]

I'm going completely opposite;

 

Here is THE DREAM scenario

 

Ravens win out - Finish 10-6

Chiefs win out - Finish 10-6

Titans win out - Finish 11-5 

Steelers win out - Finish 14-2

Jaguars go 2-1 - Finish 11-5 

Patriots Lose out - Finish 10-6

Bills win out - Finish 10-6

 

Bills win AFC East with Tie Breakers over the Pats

Titans win AFC South with Tie Breakers over The Jags

Ravens claim 6th seed with tie breakers over the Pats

 

Patriots MISS playoffs ENTIRELY

 

Steelers and Titans get Byes

 

Wild-Card Games

Ravens @ Bills (Bills win)

Jaguars @ Chiefs(Jags win)

 

Divisional Round

Bills @ Titans (Bills win - reverse the Music City Miracle)

Jags @ Steelers ( Jags win)

 

AFC Championship

Jags @ Bills (Marrone and Dareus Return)

 

Like I said - DREAM SCENARIO

That would be a nice dream but I think we would have a better chance of being struck by lightning before this happened.

It goes like this:

 

Going into final game of season in Miami, everything plays out so if we win that game we are in the playoffs.

 

In the week leading up to the game, Cutler injures himself in practice and it is announced Matt Moore will start the game.

 

The most hardened and pessimistic Bills fans cave in and realize it is all finally going to come together for us.

 

The game starts; we can't stop the run, and Moore plays much better than expected.

 

Tyrod has an average game; does some good things, some  bad things.

 

We are losing by 2 points in 4th quarter with 4 seconds left on the clock.

 

It all comes down to a Hauschka FG attempt from 42 yards.  We all think "He's got this no problem!"

 

The ball is snapped; the hold is botched.  In a moment of panic, Hauschka picks up the ball and starts running.

 

He sees a Bill going downfield in the open for a pass.  Hauschka throws the ball, it is a completion, and the Bills player runs into end zone for a TD.  The clock has expired.

 

Bills fans celebrate as the curse is over and we are in the playoffs.

 

At that moment a late flag is thrown. We have an illegal receiver downfield; it is a penalty, the TD is negated, and there is no time remaining on the clock.  Game can end with an offensive penalty and the game is over.

 

We lose by 2 points.

 

 

 

or the end of hauchska's shoelace is beyond the line when he throws.....

Let's talk about the ballsiest way we win. Everything aligns and it's win and in week 17. The Bills are down by 7 and drive the field to score a TD with mere  seconds remaining.  Rather than tie and go to OT- the Bills go for two and Tyrod runs it in. Clock expires as he crosses the goal and game over. 

down by 7 in the 4th and score?....tyrod? .....

Unfortunately right after we lost the Cincy game I had a sinking feeling that we would somehow be one game short. I hope I am wrong but in typical Bills luck they have to play a Dolphins team that suddenly got their sht together and beat the patriots convincingly and we also need to be beat God's team, the Pats. As per usual though my delusions override my better judgement and just like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football. This time, yes this time we are going to do it. 

 

i'm thinking the jets game did make that feeling any better.....

[rodneykm]

Win 2 games in a row - lose the last game on a field goal....wait for it.....

 

 

WIDE RIGHT

Ouch, that would be a new one we haven't yet experienced!

"Billsiest"

 

 

Win the next 3.

 

Make the playoffs. 

 

Lose to TN in the wildcard game on a forward lateral. 

 

Start a new 17 yr drought.

I don't think we'll beat the Dolphins, like you I want them to but I don't think we will. I hope I'm wrong.

Billsian isn’t winning the last 3 when they are in the playoff race, that never happens to them.

 

Billsian is getting blown out in the next two games then putting it all together in their best performance of the season in the meaningless season finale.

 

The win pushes them down the draft just enough so even with their extra draft picks they don’t have the ammo necessary to target a legit franchise QB prospect. The team that drafted in the spot that would have been where the Bills were drafts their QB of the future (one who the Bills didn’t have rated highly anyway) and he turns into a stud.

 

The Bills draft a RB and CB with their two first rounders. Both turn out to be outstanding players but the Bills don’t want to pay them and they move in to greener pastures after their rookie contracts are up.
