dallas and ravens are beatable along with the pats with that close 1st meeting matchup.

 

dallas struggles vs good defenses and gives up lots of points

 

ravens just find an answer for lamar

the problem is our offense is not good enough to keep up with either of those teams. Are they beatable? sure. can the Bills outscore them? most likely not

 

Dallas and Baltimore put up 30+ points for fun every week. we struggle to get to 20. 

[TheFunPolice]

Brady looks pathetic

 

That game is totally winnable

 

Cowboys are a weird team... You never know which team will show up

 

I'm not chalking any losses up

[Big Turk]

Chalking up the Cowboys, Ravens and Pats as losses that means we need to win the other 3.

if they can use more of singletary, add in some mckenzie trick plays,  allen fixing his deep throws to brown and allen use his lamar like agility the offense can score big, but I would expect the coaches to disappoint somehow

Eagles are not good and were missing half their offense

 

We can beat them! It will be interesting to see what Dallas does against them. Hopefully good Dallas shows up in NE

agreed. only way we make the playoffs and sneak a win vs one of these top teams is changing our offense. 

 

it's a risk but Allen has to start using his legs more like he did today. Read option, rollouts, bootlegs. Uptempo offense all 4 quarters.

I think the @Dallas game is one where we lose by 25 points. I don’t think the cowboys are that good but at home on a short week on thanksgiving...Id be more surprised if we won that game then any game we have won in years. Not saying Dallas is the best team left to play. They aren’t. Just everything that comes with that game. People think we are going to be in it...I’m expecting it to be over midway through the 2nd quarter. I hope I’m wrong obviously 

The Cowboys got smoked by the Jests.  It’s absolutely asinine to think they are unbeatable.

They lost by 2 points and the game was in NJ. I never said they were unbeatable. If the game was in Buffalo I’d say it was 50/50

Anything less than that and we will be in big trouble. That Browns loss could really end up hurting us. 

Predict the remaining schedule.

Broncos - W

Cowboys - L

Ravens - L

Patriots - L

Steelers - W

Jets - W

We have to steal a game against either the Cowboys, Ravens, or Patriots.  If we pull out these next 2, then I think it'll be a lock for us.

I guess a team with a worse record then ours will get rewarded with a playoff spot

( instead of us ) because they’ve beat one winning team along the way ? !!! 

 

If they can beat a winning team then so be it. If we can't do that then what's the point of going in as an obvious one and done team?

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Lot of the playoff teams cannibalize each other quite a bit. 

 

Colts play - Texans, Jags, Titans - as well as saints and panthers.  and already have 4 losses

Texans play - Colts, NE, Denver, Titansx2 and have 4 losses

Steelers play - Browns, bills, jets, ravens (week 17, but they hate each other) and have 5 losses 

Raiders play - 6 AFC games, 4 on the road- Jets, Chiefs, Titans, Jags, Chargers, Broncos - not an easy game really on that slate

Titans - Jags, Colts, Raiders, Texansx2, saints - and have 5 losses.

 

I think 9 wins might be enough to get the 6 seed.  Colts or texans get the division and 5 seed maybe? 

 

Steelers have the easiest schedule... but they kind of suck when you watch them.  Rudolph looks worse than trubiskey, and they can't run the ball.  Defense can only do so much, and teams will be smart and play not to turn it over.  They could lose to anyone left on their schedule, or beat them.  They also play 4/6 on the road where they currently have won 1 game this year.

 For past Bills teams this was usually not even the case, not even with Kelly at the helm.  Not sure how it's any different these days.  Big Dallas, prime time, etc.  Not seeing it as winnable.

[Livinginthepast]

If our coaches can rise to the occasion and come up with a great offensive and defensive game plan for  Dallas, I think we can win that one. We need to force the Cowboys into mistakes which they are prone to.

Kelly and the boys did win in Dallas 13-10 in week 2 of '93 or '94.  Emmit Smith was holding out tho

As shaky as the AFC is this year, yeah.

[row_33]

so "all the Bills have to do" is get 3 wins?

 

always a harbinger when i'm reading "all the Bills have to do"... 

 

 

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

I’m not sure which, but they will get an “upset” win against either the Cowboys, Ravens or Pats.  I think this defense is best built to beat the Pats honestly, I see them having a hard time trying to contain both Zeke and the Ravens on the ground.

huge upset win, then a soul-crushing loss to a scrub to make up for it?

 

[Orlando Tim]

I believe that Allen is ready to be special and will show up big over the next 6 weeks- so I expect at least 4 wins.

...hopefully we're in before that one....deja vu 2004....pretty painful memory with "win and we're in"....you know the rest...............

I get a feeling we are very close to a turning point/fork in the road match.

 

Can't wait...hoping it's on Thanksgiving

 

[Mat68]

The trick is playing your best after Thanksgiving.  Buffalo beats a team or 2 the media isnt expecting, all of a sudden Buffalo isnt just a nice little team with an easy schedule.

[BigDingus]

9-7 will have to be good enough.

That Browns loss is really going to come back & bite us in the a**.

There's no way we beat the Pats on the road, and we're probably going to get killed by the Ravens. Greg Roman has designed the perfect offense for Lamar Jackson, and he looks insane right now.

The Steelers game is going to be very tough. Sure, they're only 5-5, but they're 4-2 at home, and 4-1 over the last 5 weeks.

 

The Cowboys have the #1 offense in the league and the #7 defense. Can we go there & beat them? Sure, but only if we can put up points like we did this week against the Dolphins. The defense will get moved on no matter what, so this is one of those games where the offense is going to NEED to carry the burden.

We absolutely have to beat the Broncos & Jets, but neither of those games will be easy either. 

 

Broncos have the #4 ranked defense, only suffering 1 blowout this year against the Chiefs. The Jets are 3-3 since Darnold's return, and you never really know what you'll get from them. All we know is that we struggled bad against them week 1, so hopefully it'll go better in week 17.

I would be shocked but thrilled if we went 3-3. I think 2-4 is more likely, and can even see 1-4

Cowboys aren’t that good despite what some will tell you. The only games that this team should even have an issue with are New England and Baltimore. I Wouldn’t be shocked if we beat Baltimore and New England is whatever. 

 

Wait what?!

This team has "had an issue" with the Jets, the Bengals, the Titans, the Dolphins, the Eagles, and the Browns, yet they won't have an issue with any of the other teams outside of NE & Baltimore? Where does that confidence come from? Clearly not what has transpired on the field, otherwise you wouldn't be saying that.

The Cowboys blew out the Eagles (who blew us out), and have the NFL's top ranked offense. They also have one of the best running backs in the game, and we've had trouble stopping the run (yes, we stuck it to the Dolphins last week, yay). 

We lost to the Browns on the road just 2 weeks ago...they only have the 16th ranked defense. The Broncos on the other hand have the 4th ranked defense, and we're not going to have an issue playing them at Mile High?

We already "had an issue" against the Jets, so just assuming that won't happen going forward is pretty unfounded as well.

That leaves the Steelers, a team that is 4-2 at home and has won 4 out of their last 5 games. Looking at their schedule, they're just as likely to have won 7 of their last 8 by the time we play them (their next 3 games are against the Bengals, Browns & Cardinals). Since Big Ben went down in week 1, they've only had one game they lost by 7 or more points.

They lost to the Seahawks by 2, lost to the 49ers by 4, lost to the Ravens by 3 and the Browns by 14. Think about that, they only lost by an average of 3 points to 3 of the BEST teams in football. But the Bills will be the team to just handle them? And on the road? Based on what again? Handing it to the Dolphins last week? C'mon man... Seriously, I do not understand where we get off being so cocky.

[ILBillsfan]

For as much slack that the bills take for facing bad teams Dallas is in the same boat.  Add to it it will be a Thursday game that tere da towards hurting offenses in short weeks why Thursday games are usually low scoring and this helps the Bills imo.

 

Baltimore at home I’d love a snow game see the Bills D vs Jackson in that snow mess lol 

ingram is the key for them imo makes Jackson so much more dangerous 

 

Pats are beatable just can’t do things that make you beat yourself vs the Pats beating you 

 

Pitt looks anemic offensively and they now have injuries to Shuzter and Conner... tough  at their place but winnable 

 

Jets to finish up Inhopr we have clinched a play off spot because knocking the Bills out of the playoff would end their season well 

[stuvian]

getting to double digit wins might cause this board to crash

Actually you don't .. at least until the playoffs. If they beat the Steelers, Broncos, and Jets they will be in .. and Cleveland which knocked off Baltimore (a good team) will be out. You just have to have more wins. And once you get to the playoffs .. anything can happen.

When I said at some point, I was referring to the playoffs.  You can't expect to get to (and win) the Super Bowl without beating a team with a winning record. The sooner, the better, and the next opportunity will come on Thanksgiving Day.

except Dallas has the best offense in the league and a top 10 defense. they blow teams out, we don't 

 

only way we can beat them is if the coaches develop a whole new offense that is centered around running with Allen like the Ravens with Jackson

What if the Raiders go 4-2 over the next 6 games?  What is the tiebreaker?
