Artem Lipatov Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Only 6 teams in AFC have winning record. We must be in playoffs this year. I realize it's only start but 10 teams lost 2-3 games of 3. They are surely beatable. We have 2 wins insurance over them to stay in playoffs picture. Only 3 teams have 3-0. Bills, Chiefs and Patriots. Good company. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The window of opportunity is most definately there, but the Bills haven't locked anything up yet. They gotta keep winning games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Still too early in the. Season for blanket statements. That said, it is true that even if we lose next week, we will remain a top 6 team in the AFC. But I feel we have a decent shot at sitting on top of the AFC after week 4. Standout defense, clutch qb, electric rb, rookie gronk, things looking up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevis Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Bills' future this season really depends on how their culture and process will be able to cope with a demoralizing loss the Pats. If they win, they will be equally tested on the coping with success front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 To borrow and slightly reword a phrase from a Bills player. "3-0 ain't $#&!

whatdrought Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 At this point in the season we look equally like a 12-4 team and a 6-10 team. Too early to say either way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Titans and Eagles games will say a lot. They should beat a below average Titans team on the road and they should battle the Eagles to a close game. Win one of those two and I think they will make it. I fear this week will be another game that the Bills get overhyped and do too much. Bills teams have a history of making this game more than it is and getting blown out early. If they can get through the first quarter tied or only down a score they will be competitive throughout the game. Most worried about the start of the game and early in the third quarter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This week will tell us a lot about this team. The Patriots are the first real team we face. Otherwise our opponents are a combined 1-8, 0-8 if you discount the 1 victory as it was led by Daniel Jones and not Eli Manning. If they go out and handle business against the Patriots then it’s time to start planning the parade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for the Colts you can't just be capable when Mahomes and Brady are in the AFC. I think the Colts will be the 6 seed and lose to Ravens in round 1.

A few of the Pats fans expressed concern about the Bills and Ravens as the trouble spots and potential losses on the schedule. The Bills have raised some eye brows around the league. I expect a competitive game. This is obviously a different Bills team from last year, and the Patriots will have their first real fight of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills, Chiefs and Patriots. Good company. very very early for this IMO. Jets - are playing a 3rd string QB and Darnold (per their fan base) is aiming come back week 5. Lets face it their D is good and that O is bad because of their current QB. IF he comes back he will make them a lot better. Browns - have started of shaky but they have the talent to also make the playoffs. Colts -- Playing well without Luck and are 2-1 as are the Texans BOTH very good Teams SD Chargers - come on now they are 1-2 but could easily be 3-0. but capable team. lol I wrote all that and now look and say hmm, the Bills should make the playoffs at the #5 seed at least.
