brianb386 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 We were gift wrapped a ridiculously easy schedule and our 6-3 record is better than this team is. We are not a 10 win team, even with the easy schedule. I say 9-7, maybe we make the playoffs. I doubt we'll have a chance if we get in. I can't see us beating the Texans, Ravens or chiefs on the road in the playoffs. I stay positive longer than a lot, but all the scraping by trash teams and today we got beat by a trash team, I really think I've been kidding myself. This team is not a playoff caliber team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we beat the Dolphins, Broncos, Jets. Do they even get 10?  Unfortunately, I am starting to feel that 9 wins is not going to capture a playoff spot with Pitt and Oakland doing their thing. No, 9 will be the most possible. Our flaws are out and exposed. These last 4 games have validated that. Two unimpressive wins v Mia and Wash. And losing 2 games to teams with losing records. We're not blowing anyone out this year with this offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Honestly, if we let the Pats sweep us again, I don't even care about the playoffs.  I hate that we chalk that up as a loss every year. If the Bills can't beat 'em, what's the point? I think all of the remaining games are on the table. Why should we concede games like Dallas and Pittsburgh? Those teams both have plenty of issues of their own.   We might finish 11-5 or even 12-4. Who knows.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 What’s the point in getting in at 9-7 anyway? So they can be one and done again?  Fire Daboll, promote Dorsey, the offense is a total ***** show. Without a sudden boost in offensive production they have no chance at getting to 10 wins.

jrober38 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) It's not coming.  The Bills might not get to 9 wins.  Miami is over their crap and just played us hard. Everyone there is no longer thinking they'll get traded and is now in on putting together good film in case they move on next year. Two wins in a row.  Denver has a solid defense. Hard to see us scoring 20 points against them which makes that an iffy game.  Dallas is significantly better than us.  Baltimore should destroy us.  Pittsburgh is peaking. Their D is playing really well, gets pressure and forces mistakes. Again, where do the points come from on the road?  New England will be playing for home field.  The Jets will be playing spoiler.  This thing feels like it's about to go south in a hurry. The offense is a mess, we can't pass the ball, we can't score points, and we need the defense and special teams to play perfect football to win games. The QB and OC are major problems and our HCs situational awareness on how to use timeouts and work the clock is simply horrible. The Bills might win 2-3 of their remaining games. Their offense is simply not good enough to expect to win more than that. Edited November 11, 2019 by jrober38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 On paper Pittsburgh looks like the best bet, but ... the Bills haven't won in Pittsburgh since 1975, when the Juice ran for 227 yards. 1 hour ago, jrober38 said: It's not coming.  The Bills might not get to 9 wins.  Miami is over their crap and just played us hard.

Lurker Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Sadly, IMO, it doesn't.  I used to think Pittsburgh, but not anymore.  They're 4-0 in the last month and their next six games come aganst teams with a combined 17-37-1 record.   They look very tough on defense right now, which is not good news for a struggling Bills offense...     Edited November 11, 2019 by Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryland-bills-fan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited)  It looks to me that the rest of the season is going to play out with the Bills just being on the outside of the playoffs. The rest of our schedule looks like this:  WIN       at Miami (2-7) WIN       vs. Denver (3-6) LOSS    at Dallas on Thanksgiving (5-4) LOSS    vs. Baltimore (7-2) ????     at Pittsburgh (5-4) LOSS   at New England (8-1) WIN     vs. New York Jets (2-7)  We are at 6 and 3.    The above shows three wins and three losses, which puts us at 9 and 6, without adding in the Pittsburgh game.   Pittsburgh is at 5-4 but has an easier schedule. They also have won 4 straight.  WIN    at Cleveland (3-6) WIN    at Cincinnati (0-9) WIN    vs. Cleveland (3-6) WIN    at Arizona (3-6-1) ?????   vs. Buffalo (6-3) WIN   at New York Jets (2-7) LOSS at Baltimore (7-2)  The Steelers are at 5 and 4.    The above shows five wins and one loss, which puts them at 10 and 4, without adding in the Buffalo game.   Quote  To Break A Tie For The Wild-Card Team If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

maryland-bills-fan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I would say so. Maybe, (takes several gulps from near empty bottle of Jaeger), they are tanking the season to get draft picks in the top 16 of each round. So they give Allen a forced learning experience and have him make passing mistakes to learn and get experience in reading coverages, going thu progresssions and make the right decisions. If he is handing the ball off all the time, he doesn't learn. Yeah, that it. Where did I leave that case of beer?

NoName Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 All this fuss about the playoffs. We are just going to get bounced in the wild card round anyway. Instead of stressing the playoffs so much, we should be stressing be a threat to win it all. What's the point of getting in the playoffs when you don't have a realistic shot. Right now we don't. Our offense cannot score like a playoff team should 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
