Flacco is going to lay a voluminous turd against the Buffalo defense. 10-1, entering Thanksgiving weekend. The way the AFC is shaking out, that may be enough to clinch a playoff spot. My vegan-themed Thanksgiving meal is going to taste SOOO good while I watch Oliver and Phillips collapse the pocket onto Prescott over and over and over again. I like the way you think. Denver won't roll over but I feel good with it being at home. Fond memories of Flacco throwing 2 I believe 4th qtr ints trying to make a comeback before he went to Denver. Plus a Thanksgiving massacre of the cowpokes makes for a very happy holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Junction Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 14 minutes ago, Limeaid said: Yes after Bills beat up their team. They currently have the #4 defense, Von Miller, an experienced QB, and a RB that can get chunk yardage. IMO that game depends on Allen not throwing hero ball interceptions. It could be tighter than a lot of people seem to think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 4-2 over that stretch seems possible, 3-3 is perhaps likely. A seven game winning streak is pretty tough, even for the heavyweights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYGPopgun10 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I looked over their schedule two weeks ago. If everything goes to form, I have them with 10 wins. That's realistic based on how they've performed and on who is left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of these, Philadelphia will be a challenge; they're an up and down team who has the potential to lay an egg, just as much as they have the potential to be a dangerous team. Certainly would be huge to sweep the upcoming six with 4 of the 6 at home. The next game after that is Thanksgiving at Dallas. Should be doable and even if we don't i fully expect to be in the playoffs.

They certainly have their weaknesses and if you can limit Zeke, they will struggle. I hope Dallas doesn't find their groove and get hot in the next six weeks. I would have taken that game if it was in Buffalo, It is in Dallas and on Thanksgiving.

GreggTX Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Let's just take a dose of reality here. Josh is playin better, but he's still had several fumbles and 6 picks in 5 games. The D has played well to this point, but the offense needs to continue improving. 11-18 is the combined W/L record of our opponents. We lost to the only team we've played that has a winning record and none of the others have won more than 2 games so far. We are definitely playing better, but we still have an awful lot to prove -- especially Josh. If we can go 4-2, we'll be 8-3 heading into Dec. I'd be thrilled with that even with our super easy schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramza86 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Glad to see where we are at now. But...we havent blown anyone out. Jets/Titans. FG kickers could have put us away, but we were fortunate. Bless the defense man. Lord Bless them. They are fantastic. But if we want to be a real contender we are just going to have to see more from the offense. If we are going to keep playing every week down to the wire, we are going to start seeing some losses we dont want to see against lower tier teams.We stole one from the jets and titans...there will be weeks we get games taken away from us if we cannot get the ball rolling offensively. Im still reserved/pessimistic lol. Just waiting for the offense to get this team into contender status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 We played a real contender in the Patriots and yes, we lost, but it was a very close game and we forced one of Tom Brady's worst career games. They've been blowing everyone else out. I think what people are excited about is that we face a lot of bad teams this year. Yes, our team is good, not great.

Wed most likely be a wildcard team id be really happy about the improvement between last year and this year. I really only wanted to see this team be better than last year.

SCBills Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 A top defense and a top 10 offense in yardage all while a young team with a lot of new pieces is coming together looks good to me. We also add Singletary, Kroft, Foster and Duke into the fold now. I am concerned with 3rd quarters, the lack of scoring given our offensive outputs and turnovers but those are, at least, correctable.

Those teams are both at least decent (I think the Jets are better than decent), but we were the better team in both games and we got the wins that we deserved. There is no "number of blowouts" tiebreaker in playoff seeding. While I would like to see us score more -- who wouldn't? -- I disagree that we can't be a contender without more offense. If we can score 20 points every game, that's enough to go 13-3 or so and win playoff games on the road. The only team in our conference that I don't think we can reliably hold to fewer than 20 points is Kansas City, but even that is do-able. Heck, the Colts did it. And besides, there is every reason to expect our offense to get better as the season goes along. We have a young QB who is still developing, and nine (!) of our offensive starters are new to to the team this year. We haven't seen the best of this unit yet.

colin Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 i'd say yes, but not by much. wins over the next 3 games and we have every reason to be high on the team, 2-1 and there could be a few questions, 1-2 big questions, 0-3 and we were totally fake. we need allen to make plays and not turn the ball over, and everything else basically stay the same to be a top tier team.

Mat68 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It's the best Bill's team in 20 years. Why throw a wet blanket on it? I think playoffs and more are in play this year. There is not a game on the schedule that if they play well they do not win. It's a great thing. I'm going to my first game in probably 5 years this season. They are a real football team. They are a real contender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
