QB sneak/draw is great in certain situations, anthe **Pats have done it for years with Brady...but not on 4th and almost 2. I wanted them to take the FG, but after lining up, was hoping for some misdirection or jet sweep there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we also have a reasonable shot to win at Pittsburgh due to their QB situation. We have 6 more home games...if we take care of our home games we get to 10 wins and more! 9 minutes ago, zow2 said: Can’t come out of the bye week thinking Miami is a high school team.

ILBillsfan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 With this defense there is not a winnable game on the schedule. Exciting to know for the most part this defense should be the same next year too and then the offense willhave the majority of its players in the same offense in year two as well. Exciting times for the Bills imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Bills goal is likely to win 10 games in order to secure a playoff spot. They have 4 in the bag. Looking at the schedule they should be favored to beat the Fins twice, the Broncos, The Redskins, The Steelers and the Jets. Take care of those 6 games and you get to 10 wins. But being the NFL you are likely to have a fluke loss in there. So that means the team is going to have to win one of two "toss up" games against the Eagles and Browns or take an underdog game from the Pats, Cowboys, and Ravens. Either way I think the Bills just need to focus on licking their wounds during the bye and take care of the Fins at home to get half way to 10 wins.

Don't we want them to beat us and then face us in playoffs and lose because "it is hard to beat a team three times in a year"? The full statement is "it is hard to beat a team three times in a year because if you beat them twice it is not likely they are in playoffs to be beaten third time."

I just wish we'd score more points. It would be less nervous that way. we have played some fantastic defense....Titans, Patriots, Bengals and Jets....All these teams give less than 20 points on defense. 1 minute ago, Mark Vader said: I want both. The Patriots* have some tough games ahead of them. They are beatable. They currently have a very easy schedule... Giants, Jets, Browns - Next 3 weeks. Then slightly tough schedule Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, Texans, Chiefs, They close with Dolphins, Bills, Bengals. I see only a maximum of 2 or 3 losses....They will be 13-3 or 14-2 by end of the year.

Rocket94 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) This team will find a way to make it to the playoffs...even if they will their way...they will get there.

US Egg Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Dolphins game shouldn't be another low scoring squeaker. Bills still got a long way to go. The offense isn't convincing. Edited October 7, 2019 by I am the egg man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing going against the Bills is that they are likely playing for one of 2 wildcard spots since the (I think consensus) best team in the league is also in their division. Win the next three, all at home and they are almost there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Bills have 11 games left. The Pats are 5-0 and game is at Foxboro. They have 6 games left against teams with a combined record of 2-25. They have 4 games against teams with a combined record of 11-8. Hopefully their injuries heal over the bye week. I'm an original Bills fan going back to 1960, and its been a while since I've been this positive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their D is rock solid and their coaching is impeccable so they will still push for another ring but they are not as good as they seem.

mjt328 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The schedule is ridiculously favorable. It's hard not to see us finishing with at least 10 wins. I'm hoping for more than just making the playoffs though. Most people are viewing the Bills as a strong defense, which is supporting a weak offense. And there may be some truth to that....so far. But unlike many past years (where I felt scoring a touchdown was a miracle), this offense is showing glimpses of being very solid. Don't forget that our offense has 9-10 new starters, with one of the returning players being a QB with only 16 starts to his name. I don't think that side of the ball is playing to their potential yet. We are continually moving the ball and racking up yards, but shooting ourselves in the foot before we can put points on the board. Clean up the mistakes/turnovers, and this offense is easily capable of 25+ points per game. Combine that with this defense, and nobody is going to have an easy time beating us.
