OutOfBubbleGum Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Call me out as being wrong but the Bills to be considered a contender have to beat the losing record Broncos and the winning record Cowboys. If they can't beat both and they make it to the playoffs, then they are done quicker than tables being smashed by Buffalo tailgaters.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think people are just not seeing this Cowboy game for what it is. I am coming around on thinking the Bills can maybe beat Pit in Pit and I know it sounds crazy but...I think the Ravens game isn’t a sure loss. But I think that Cowboy game is all but a certainty. We are guna get blasted. Beat Denver and then go from there. But the least likely win on the schedule IMO is ; Short week, AT Dallas on thanksgiving.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I have a good feeling about the Dallas game. Don't know if we will win but I think it's coming down to the wire. I think we will be able to move the ball on them like we do when we play Miami. Should be an exciting game. Not the end of the world if we lose since I rather steal a victory against an AFC opponent like the Ravens or Patriots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The Dallas game will be the ultimate statement game for Bills season and perhaps Allen's career. Get annihilated like the last thanksgiving game in Detroit and the critics will write us off as frauds. But win against the Cowboys in front of that national audience especially if Josh can finally put it all together and get 300 yards plus and you have a springboard to another level. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 How about if the Bills win their next game they might make playoffs and if they don’t they probably won’t? Why does it have to be all this “contender” BS. They are not a contender and not built to be yet. Chill out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just gave up 28 to Kirk "terrible in prime time" Cousins in their last home game. They did hold the Eagles to 10 in their home game before that one but gave up 34 to the Packers in the home game before that one. I don't really see a reliable trend that suggests their defense plays better at home then on the road. And likewise our offense does not seem to be any worst on the road vs @ home. I expect a close game for those reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch the Broncos/Vikings game earlier? Did you watch the Browns/Steelers game on Thursday? We're not that far off. The way we lost to the Patriots (blocked punt) and the Browns (two missed FGs) it's obvious to me that we are not the pretender you think we may be. I REFUSE to overreact to a 7-3 season. Our schedule is a tough one in the second half... and for me, winning 7 games at this point IS GRAVY. We're improving. Calm the F down, people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearwater cadet Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I dont think we match up well with dallas.

Also you are going to have a few extra days of prep that week. The bills might be able to dial up something to hang with them. That game being at home is big. In Baltimore I’d figure it’s a definite loss. Late in the year in buffalo with our crowd and big stakes. Never know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyBoys Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Dallas let the Lions with a backup Jeff Driskel get 27 pts Kirk Cousins who sucks on the road beat them.

I think we lose that by 25+ Have you watched Baltimore play lately? Sure, they could come out and lay an egg, that is always possible. Barring that, they are going to toast the Bills. The Bills have had troubles stopping the run, Lamar is probably the best runner in the NFL at this point. It just so happens he is a decently efficient passer as well. Oh, and they have a guy named Ingram who is also a pretty darn good running back. In addition to that, they have a solid defense. Just a bad matchup all around. I have a very difficult time seeing the Bills coming out with a W. For my money, the Ravens are the best team in the NFL this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I love how people come up with these silly scenarios in their own mind. The most likely scenario is we beat Denver and lose to Dallas. We still will likely make the playoffs with 10 wins. We don't need to be considered anything by anyone. Just win enough games to make the playoffs and go from there. Who cares what people think. Its a week to week league, no guarantee on any week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just beat Denver. Then start watching the other teams.... It's going to be close down the stretch. No head to head wins over any of the 6-4 teams so it probably will come down to AFC record for the 5th and 6th spots. Colts Texans play each other next week and Colts still have Saints and Panthers. A Texans win and the Colts might struggle to even get to 9-7. Texans have the Colts and Patriots in back to back games then play 4 doormats down the stretch including the Titans twice Watch out for the Raiders. They may have the easiest schedule in the league the next six games - Jets, Chiefs, Titans, Jags, Broncos, Chargers. With that schedule they can lose to the Chiefs and still finish 11-5. 1 hour ago, zow2 said: Denver will be a handful. It won’t be shocking to see them beat the Bills.

There’ll only be 2 games, so it’ll likely just be rookies & new guys playing. Great win today! Those bashing ST’s are being lazy. Hausch$ & Borowhozawitch (?) kicked great. Sanborn was his typical quiet excellence. Andre Roberts was fantastic -if overshadowed by his Dolphin counterpart and I’m fairly sure only 1 penalty. We weren’t fooled by the onside kick, the guy just made a great play -and barely! We certainly screwed up on 2 kick coverages, but to say our Special Teams units sucked is as shallow as bashing Josh Allen. At least that’s the game I saw. But I never know wth the rest of you BBFS’ers ever see. On another point, this thread is moronic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
