Bills? playoffs? Maybe when hell freezes over. You select who you think will win going forward and see where they might end up in the playoff picture. Optimistically with this defense it could get to 8-8 for Buffalo. A miracle like we've never seen before is beating NE in NE to 9-7. In conjunction with that the Bills need 3 or 4 teams to do poorly down the stretch. Edited November 19, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you assume the Bills lose to NE and assume they win the other games, that is ludicrous. Could they win all the other games? sure. but with how poorly they play on offense it is extremely unlikely and basically it ain't happening. Maybe we can expect them to win 2-3 of the other five games...that will be 5-11 or 6-10....not making the playoffs there. Even if they play well and win 4 of the 5 other games, 7-9 ain't doing it. 8-8 would be a miracle, 9-7 would be a minor miracle with tie breakers after the "win in NE" miracle comes through. If you believe in Santa then you can believe the Bills have a chance. Edited November 19, 2018 by mattynh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I think the Colts are going to make a run here they could win the AFCS. Pittsburgh and NE will win the North and East.

jrober38 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 With how good the Bills D is, it's fairly straightforward to see them winning 3 of their remaining games and winding up 7-9, which is quite incredible when you consider that we've had to start four different QBs this year. I've been very hard on McDermott all year, but I've never doubted that he knows how to get his guys to buy in and play hard. If the offense isn't losing games, and the defense plays hard for four quarters, this team can beat 75% of the teams in the league on any given Sunday. The issue now is that what was looking like a pretty promising top 10 pick might now slip into a 1st round pick in the mid to late teens where it will be harder to get a blue chip prospect. It'll be interesting to see how the final 5 games go, and then this will probably be the biggest offseason this franchise has had in at least 10 years as they fill holes and try to solidify the D and load up on weapons to surround their QB with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The games we lost head to head against Indy and Baltimore likely eliminate us.
