We could be talking about home field throughout. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. That is one mighty big IF. Would love to see it happen but don't count on it. Especially when Kraft/Bellicheat/Brady have the zebra stripes in their pocket tossing them off any chance they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'm all in on seeing the following standings after this weekend. Let the Bills stay within 1 game of the Pats and 3 ahead of the Jets. If the Jets lose to the Pats they still have a team good enough to play spoiler for the rest of the season. I'd rather keep the Pats within striking distance. Pats 6-1 Bills 5-1 Jets 2-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose, great! If they win it buries these AFC teams further, helping us. Especially the Browns and Jets Tons of no-lose scenarios coming up for the Bills! And if NE loses a few the division becomes a possibility. Exciting times coming up Brady averages something like 12 or 13 wins per season over the course of his career. The formula for generating the schedule hasn't really changed in that era. We always share 14 common games a year with them (6 Divisional, 4 AFC Conference, 4 NFC Conference) The Pats winning more games have not helped the Bills over the last 20 years, and this year isn't special in any way what so ever.

It is almost always better for the Pats to lose and the Bills to win.

TheFunPolice Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Bills win their games and the NE games are a bunch of win wins for us The difference is that in the past the Bills were so out of it that it didn't matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The division is still open. 17 hours ago, ChattanoogaBills said: Yeah thats cool but how about the bills just win there games against the teams you mentioned. If we finsh 13-3 there is no way we miss the playoffs. I'd like that better then relying on anybody let alone the pats to help us. I don't think the OP meant it the way you think he did.

Sounds like a damn good season to me and a chance to make serious noise in the playoffs. Going 12-4 and traveling for a road playoff game against the 9-7 Ravens would suck IMO. Regardless, future is bright, and hopefully we can best NE in Foxboro week 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is the Bills lose that game and the Pats are the 2nd team to go to 4 straight......but they have won two of them.....so basically the Bills have to win that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow1 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The division is finally the Bills to lose. Pats have a slightly tougher path to follow but I think they crack under pressure. NO AFC Team looks invincible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Texans and Jets, we need to hope beat the Pats so we can take the Division. Texans are taking their division, as are the Chiefs, so we're better off if they win their games against the Pats. Browns and Ravens though... we need them to lose.

TheFunPolice Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 it's not about "wanting their help" so much as recognizing that for the Bills, there are quite a few "no lose" games coming up for the evil empire. Either the evil empire wins and buries a potential Wild Card contender further, OR they lose a few and open up the division. It starts with the Jets next week. Crazy? The Jets only have 4 losses. Their schedule softens up soon. I could easily see them getting to 9-7. the NE game is huge for them (and us). A NE win probably buries the Jets. Jets (1-4) NE JAX MIA NYG WAS OAK CIN MIA BAL PIT BUF Then we get to Cleveland (2-4). Their next game is against the evil empire. A loss against NE likely buries CLE as well. But they will be desperate, so who knows. I could still easily see them winning 7 more, making them also 9-7. A win against NE puts the Browns right back in the conversation at 3-4, with all of those seemingly winnable games coming up for them. NE DEN BUF PIT MIA PIT CIN AZ BAL CIN Then there is the evil empire themselves. Here is their remaining schedule: Currently 6-0 NYJ CLE BAL PHI DAL HOU KC CIN BUF MIA They are actually going to play some more real teams soon. the Luke Falk/ Colt McCoy portion of their schedule is pretty much done. Yes, I know. Their defense is better than the 85 Bears! Greatest of all time. Historic, in fact. LOL Look, they are good; they are NE. But they are going to lose a few games coming up. Brady is not anywhere near the same, and that defense is vastly overrated because of who they have played. It's just the order of the schedule.

I want to beat the Pats** in NE and our fans rush their field and tear down their goal posts. And, then Brady cry. However, if that is lacking class then I guess I am lacking class too.

We are ready for a new AFC East leader! oh believe me, a NE loss is a close second to a Bills win for me. For a while there in the drought I actually think I cared more about NE losing than us winning. So NE losing all or many of their tough games is great, and also helps the Bills as it opens up the division AND puts them in peril in terms of tie breakers.
