Predict the Bills record in the last three tough games


Kelly the Dog

Recommended Posts

The Bills play the Cowboys, Ravens, and Pats in the last five games. We know that. We know that the Steelers and Jets are not automatic wins in any way. But in the three big ticket games left predict what you think we will end up with after those three games. 

 

To me, a historically great team, which we are not, win all three. 

A very good, Super Bowl caliber team wins two of the three.

A legit team wins one of the three. 

A pretender loses all three. 

 

I dont think we are really good, but I think we win one of those three games. All of them are tough.

My order of chance of victory is:

Baltimore

New England
Dallas

 

The closest to a victory IMHO (in those games) is probably Baltimore.  We play them at home in front of our fans in December.  We will find a way to stop Jackson and control the clock.    They are also playing the Rams and 49ers before coming into Orchard Park.  

 

We don't need Allen to play Hero Ball game...Just play like yesterday.  Run Singletary 25 times. 

 

The Dallas and Patriots games are  more harder.  Dallas always plays very well on Thanksgiving and the traveling teams usually throw a stinker.  

 

The Patriots is a 50-50 chance because  we may catch them at the right time. I think Allen learns not to make the same mistakes as we did in the earlier game at home.

We will beat the Pats and lose the other two. We will beat the Steelers and surprisingly lose to the Jets but it won't matter since we will be 10-6 and earn a wildcard spot.

I can see this happening. 
i am interested to see how the Bills do against the Ravens. I think the Bills D matches up against the Ravens O pretty good.

With the way the Steelers and Jets are playing, it looks like 5 hard games.   Fortunately 2 wins = playoffs.  Heck, even 1 win gives them an even money chance.

Yeah, I think we will beat Pitts, but the Jets will be a tough game. I was just curious what people thought of the top three.

 

That said, we most likely go 2-3 overall and get 10 wins. If we go 1-4 we probably don't deserve it.

I guess at Pittsburgh isn’t tough?

Against Devin Hodges on a team that will be all but out of the playoffs, not really. Although I already said they were not automatic wins.

I think our best chance out of all 3 is the Ravens.  Yes, the Ravens are really good, but we get that game at home.  I'm praying we have a snowstorm or something that day to throw Lamar Jackson off his game.

I think that's our best chance too, even though I think the Ravens are better than the Cowboys. Funny how that is.

Thee Steelers defense is still a Top unit.  They have a good secondary, can stop the run and pursue the QB.  If the Bills OL plays like today, then we win that game. The Steelers offense is currently decimated.

They are but the team is going to be all but out of the race I think, which enters into a lot of psychologies of the game.

It's just so hard to predict game to game, but I don't see them beating Baltimore and they never beat NE so those are pretty low probability.

 

Dallas of course will be tough on Thanksgiving, but it's a team that can be beat.   Agree that Pittsburgh is the most beatable of the next four.

 

As for the Jets, you just hope it doesn't come down to a do or die game in week 17 as the Jets would be highly motivated to return the favor from 2015.

None of the 3 tough teams left are close to being historically great, so I don’t think it takes a historically great team to beat them all. Bills just have to get hot at the right time. That being said, I’ll say they beat the Ravens, lose to the Pats, and the Cowboys is a toss-up, I’ll say it’s a Bills win.

Nah.  Steelers under Tomlin won't mail it in.   The Bills will have to earn that win.  All the talent the Steelers lost, including their starting QB, and even losing Rudolph for a time, then benching him today for his back-up and they are 6-5.   That's crazy.  But the Steelers have never had a below .500 record under Tomlin's watch and this year won't be any different.

They barely beat the Bengals today with Ryan Findlay. They're done. This is not the same Steelers team. I'm shocked that Tomlin benched Rudolph in fact. That's the sign of complete desperation.

Dude, Rudolph is no great player, which reinforces my point.  They are 6-5.  No Big Ben.  Connor has been hurt.  Rudolph missed time.  AB is gone.  They keep staying in the convo.  Doesn't matter how much they win by or who they beat.  They play tough and that D is legit.

If you think Devlin Hodges is the answer, cool. ;)

I think it's so obvious that that is going to happen that there is almost no chance that is going to happen. 

I’m considering that this team is unlike the past teams. We beat the teams we should and lose to decent and good teams. Browns are the outlier

That is the overwhelming consensus, so no way it happens that way. ;)

 

If that's how it plays out (or any other 2-win scenario), then I'll have to admit this season exceeded my expectations. And as you said earlier, if they can only win 1 (or none) of the remaining games they don't deserve to make the playoffs. Oddly I'll consider that under-delivering on my expectations. While I may not have expected 9 wins before the season, I did expect the team to be improving throughout the season. And so far, I think they are. If they collapse from here, then that narrative changes.

 

With all that said, I think they'd have a better shot against Dallas if it wasn't being played on Thanksgiving in Dallas. I'm not saying they have no chance, just that that might just be too big of a game/stage for this team at this time. I hope I'm wrong.

 

I also think the best chance of the Bills stealing a game they aren't generally expected to win  is the rematch with the Pats*.
