I feel weirdly confident about the Cowboys and Ravens games, and weirdly terrified of the Steelers and Jets games. I was at a 4 until I read THIS!!!!

Dablitzkrieg Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Based on the improvement I have seen in the trenches and Josh looking better, I'm not concerned about any team in the league being that mcuh better than buffalo, despite what the media thinks. Defenses and running games travel. New England's offense sucks. Dallas is on the verge of a meltdown, the Jets are pretending and the Steelers...nvm. The Bills can hang with anyone. I see them peaking now, like good playoff teams should, in Nov. and Dec. The Ravens appear to be on another level with Lamar. That is a game I'm not too confident in, but it will be close.

njodogg Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I am like a 3. I really think this team will upset one of the following "Big Three" Cowboys, Ravens, or Patriots. Wins against Steelers and Jets are not gimmies but I think we will. That has us at 11-5. No reason to panic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theAteam Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 For the Bills, I am about at a 4. Steelers are imploding and we should beat them as well as the Jets. Potentially compete with Ravens and Patriots and honestly I'm expecting them to have a shot against the Cowboys. Â For the WC race I'm a little bit more concerned, maybe a 6. Even at 10 wins we need some other teams to lose a few. We've got Raiders, Titans, Colts, Texans all kind of bunched up here. Cleveland is sitting there at 6 wins and if they win out they have the tiebreaker over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st&ten Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Â I'm about 4. I was thinking about the Pats today. I always hope the Bills can crush those guys but I was thinking maybe it would be great if we beat them in a low scoring ugly game when we go to NE in a couple of weeks. Then all the talking heads can say it was just a fluke. Enter the playoffs & of course we have to go to NE & then we crush them up. Wishful thinking maybe but man that would make the season.

Scott7975 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 You know, the thing is that people have been so "concerned" about not being a dynasty this year. They are so concerned about who we beat, who we lost to, how many points we scored, how many yards Allen hasn't thrown for, the couple times Allen missed an open receiver... etc.... that those people have not enjoyed one bit of the season. We are 8-3. How the hell can people not enjoy that? OMG we aren't going to win a superbowl this year! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Today, about a 1. This game is the best game for them to lose because it means nothing in the AFC.  That being said, I'm sure I'll be around an 8 on turkey day.  Getting this win will just give everyone in a view of what we have and I would love to have them crush Dallas on national tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilmann Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I’d say around a 3. I’d say we would have to win at least 2 more to be in for sure. As much as I want to beat the holy living crap out of the cow patties that’s one we can afford to lose since it’s non conference and the Ravens since I’d say they won their division. We must beat the Steelers though to avoid tie breaker scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they will face challenges ahead but I see a team that is becoming more confident in themselves, even on the road and with every win or loss, comes growth.  therefore, they do have a chance to win and to me, the spectrum of the one side as yourself, which really are few, or that of the over confident side of the spectrum to me both are quite unrealistic even when throwing out stats and such to try and prove their point.  chance my friend, that's how I go in to a season or game, never over confident they win and certainly never confident they lose.   enjoy the games, only 5 regular season games to go. I'm going to enjoy the hell out of them, win, or lose... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
