corta765 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 OK before you comment and tell me that there is no way they make the playoffs they suck etc... I got it. I think they win somewhere between 4-6 games so I am not saying they make it. BUT the path truthfully looks something like this if they want to have a real shot: Wk 6 Win at Texans Watson doesn't play Wk 7 Win at Colts Luck is held in by our D and still shaky Wk 10 Win at Jets Wk 13 Win at Miami Wk 14 Win vs Jets Wk 15 Win vs Detroit Wk 17 Win vs Miami This would give them a 9-7 record and 7-5 conference record. Given how bad the AFC is that would keep them in the hunt. If they somehow could get to 10 wins and pickup a win specifically against the Jags which would boost their conference record to 8-4 things would be solid. Realistically those are the games they have probably the best chance to take at this point no one is predicting wins against NE and CHI/JAX look pretty formidable at this point.

nedboy7 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) From what I’m reading it seems the fan base will be upset if the bills make the playoffs. They are really hoping for a bust season so you know... there is progress. Edited October 10, 2018 by nedboy7 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I like them vs Bears at home, and Jacksonville. Boom, 11-5! And if we could split Pats . . . . But I don't think we best both Jets and Fish 2x - one loss in those 4, minimum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Over 29 years of fanhood said: No Jim Mora yet? No, we actually read the OP where he immediately addresses that and predicts we will only have 4-6 wins. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 My initial thought was "you're insane", but looking at the schedule it seems within the realm of possibility. I still think this is a 4-6 win team at best, but I thought the same last year. This week will be telling. Houston is definitely beatable. Need to stack two in a row here before I'll start to really consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D521646 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Judging by the way this fan base reacts, week to week, I'd hazard a guess and say, that these "predications" will ebb and flow as the season progresses.. Let's win Sunday and revisit this, shall we? Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Given we are already down a H2H tiebreaker against Baltimore and the Chargers, I think our best (only) shot at the playoffs is a Brady injury and 8 or 9 wins taking the division.

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 The offense is bad. Worse than last year. Possibly worst in franchise history bad. We’re not making the playoffs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... making the playoffs would mean the Bills offense managed to come alive, so no Bills fan would be upset by that development. No playoffs but obvious progress would also be an acceptable outcome given the Bills roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree with the AFC being weak this year. Small sample size but 8 teams with winning records vs 4 for the NFC. At this early point the WC looks to be some combination of the AFC North and the Chargers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1778 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 They need 7 more wins. Maybe 8. There are realistically only 9 potential wins. Best scenario. Win 5 of these 6 Colts Texans Jets x2 Dolphins x2 Win 2 of these 3 Jaguars (Home) Bears (Home) Lions (Home) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Depends on whether Allen and the offense can figure it out. If that happens anything is possible with this defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
