The NYTimes Win % will fluctuate wildly as each of the next 6 to 8 weeks pass. So I try not to worry about those fluctuations as long as my guesses work out The homer in me thinks a Thanksgiving day Win is possible for Buffalo I am not counting Baltimore or Dallas a loss quite yet. Those games are winnable. We got to get these next two though. A loss to the phins Sunday would be devastating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The path hasnt really changed, if you beat Denver, Pittsburgh, NYJ and Miami and you're in. If you lose to any one of those teams there is a very good chance you're out. 10-6 gets you there, 9-7 probably doesnt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a LJ fan, but they are winning so I can't say too much against him. The Steelers have Rudolph and he's not a LOCK to win a game either. Week 17 ... Will the JETS players care? Is Gase that much of a motivator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrb1979 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I see the Bills finishing 9-7 at best. Their offense is not good enough to win against good defenses. I see Allen regressing a lot in th second half of the season. If they lose to Miami, I am having doubts the playoffs are going to happen. I think it's going to be Pittsburgh and either Jacksonville or Oakland in that last spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILBillsfan Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Oakland and Pittsburg have a very favorable schedule the rest of the way I see scenarios where the Bills and Pitt both finish at 10-6 with Pitt winning based on the head to head game. Oakland it's hard to find losses besides the Chiefs game definitely in play for one of the wildcard spots imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Worst case and realistic scenario: Bills - Finish 10-6 with losses to NE, DAL and BAL and winning other 4 games. Raiders and Indy go 11-5. Raiders - Wins vs CIN, NYJ, TEN, JAC, LAC, DEN and a loss to KC Indy - Wins vs JAC, TEN, TB, JAC and two of 3 vs CAR, NO, HOU or CLE wins out or 5 of 6 vs MIA, PIT, CIN, AZ, BAL, PIT (and Bills lose PIT game too) or PIT beats Bills and wins 4 of 5 vs. CIN, CLE, AZ, NYJ, BAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh is ahead of Oakland based on conference record (4-2 to the Raiders' 3-2). Denver is ahead of Cleveland based on head to head (1-0). Miami is ahead of the N.Y.

Blank Stare Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Seems like plenty of teams have gained on us going into our toughest part of the schedule after next week. You look down and a handful of teams are at 6-4. Doesn’t seem like we are getting much help from others. Just keep winning and it won’t matter.

Oakland it's hard to find losses besides the Chiefs game definitely in play for one of the wildcard spots imo Actually Oakland and Pittsburgh have to play 4 of their six games ON THE ROAD. Oakland plays 4 of the remaining six on the Road: at Jets (3-7), at Chiefs (6-4), vs. Titans (5-5), vs. Jaguars (4-6), at Chargers (4-6), at Broncos (3-7) With a lot of AFC West Divisional games which are not gimmies. Other than the Jets game, I don't see any easy games. Pittsburgh does have an easier schedule, but have injuries all around them. at Bengals (0-10), vs. Browns (4-6), at Cardinals (3-7-1), vs. Bills (7-3), at Jets (3-7), at Ravens (8-2) injuries Pittsburgh will find it it difficult to beat the Browns and Ravens (Unless Ravens have the 1st round bye and Home Field wrapped up before that game). I think the TItans are going to be the team to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think KC might actually be a wild-card competitor with us. Their schedule is worse than the Raiders. They still have to play the Patriots, the Bears in Chicago, and then 4 division games. They may only finish 9-7 or 10-6 this season. The Chargers, meanwhile, are playing all of their homes games in front of away crowds and are way too inconsistent to pull off a 4-1 or 5-0 finish. I'm probably among a very small minority among here who thinks neither the Mahomes Chiefs nor the Watson Texans are automatic playoff teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Reich Thing Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 @ Bengals, @ Cardinals, @ Jets, and at home against the Browns team that just beat them will not be easy whatsoever. That is not a cake schedule for a team that is as injured as them and with Rudolph as QB. Every single one of those games will be close. Will not be surprised to see Cinci get their only win of the season against them next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
