Lets Pick the Final Four Games

-Ravens at home- Loss 

- Pittsburgh on the road - Win

- Pats in Foxborough- Win

- Jets at home- Win

 

The pats dump a few and we take the division! Wouldn’t that be AMAZING? Realistically 12-4 wont take the AFC East but one can dream. Any other division we are on a first round bye.

Before the year I said we would be 11-5 during the regular season and get our 1st playoff victory in 2 decades. I still think we can win every game left on the schedule, but we probably won't. The Pats, at most, will lose 2 more games. I think they lose this week against Houston in a close game on the road, 23-20, or something like that. After that they either lose to KC or us at Gillette. We have to win out to win the division. I don't think this is the year for that yet.

I was originally pessimistic about the Bills and thought they would end up with 7-9 wins and just miss the playoffs if they got to 9. Well I now have to say I am wrong about Allen in that I thought he really couldn't see the field well but that Dallas game changed my perception totally.

 

So I think the Bills will go 3-1 in the last four and lose to either the Pats or Ravens but not both. I think the Pats is more likely a loss given the game is at Gillette.

 

We shall see as I still have this vestigial feeling something "Billsy" can still happen to ruin their run to the playoffs. I know its irrational but its still there.

Good take! I originally said 10-6. If the Pats dump 2 and we won out what is the tie breaker for the division? Point differential between our 2 games?

W- Baltimore

W- Pittsburgh

L- New England

W- NY Jets

Its logical- you have to wins at home and a win against a weak Pittsburgh team

2-2 over the final 4 would be a good finish.  11 wins is a good season.  

Its a great season unfortunately it puts us on the road and the Pats get a bye- again! Every year they only have to win 2 to get to the dance.

We’ve gone 3-1 in each of the first three quarters of the season.  I say we finish 3-1, to go 12-4.  


Not sure where the loss will happen, but I like our chances a lot against the Ravens.  I’m confident that McDermott will have a plan to stop or limit Jackson and the Ravens’ defense can be scored on.  And we’re at home.

 

If we can’t catch the Pats for the division, the Jets game might be meaningless and an opportunity to rest some guys.

hopefully it will help that our D is used to practicing against a QB with legs.  I give it 50-50.

I could see that.  Refs will keep us down in Boston even worse than in Dallas.  Won't be as bad at home against Baltimore where we can "out-team" them like we did against Dallas.

I see 2 more wins realistically.

 

Gotta push for Browns, Chiefs and Titans tomorrow.  That would make the Browns, Steelers and Colts 6-6 and they'd have the tie-breaker over the 7-5 Titans.  Two more wins and they're guaranteed a playoff spot.

The problem is LJ is so electric the best plans can still not be enough- the guy is scary good. We have to get some turnovers and try to keep him contained.

The Bills have to win out to have any shot at the division. The only semi-realistic way the Bills win the East is if the Pats lose to Hou, KC and the Bills win out.

 

The Pats other games are vs.the Bengals and Dolphins. If the Bills lose a game they’d need the Pats to Lose to one of those teams.

Picking today, I would go with wins over the Steelers and Jets, with losses to the Ravens and Patriots.  I think Buffalo will give the Patriots all they can handle though.  If Buffalo does by chance beat the Ravens, I would pick them to run the table after that game.

I think we want the Steelers tomorrow. That means the Browns' ceiling is 9. Which means one more win (against the Steelers) knocks both of the AFCN contenders out.

I just want to get past baltimore. I would like to see them win out and go 13-3, division title, afcc game and hoist the lombardi.

 

want I want and what happens are yet to be determined. I believe in their chances though, they have so far proven to me they have the fight in them to win football games.

Here’s my question, if the bills clinch a wildcard birth as the 5th seed before week 17, do they rest josh Allen And other players vs the jets?

no, he's not 42 years old or 50 or however old marcia is.  young, strong and still needs as much game experience as possible. jm2c

 No one is unstoppable.  Mahomes was considered unstoppable too, but he’s come back to earth.  There’s more film on LJ every week, and the game will be in Buffalo, possibly in inclement weather.  It won’t be like waltzing into LA against a team that quit.

I'm sure I'll be an outlier:

 

Baltimore: W

Pittsburgh: W

New England: W

NY Jets: L

 

This except we lose to Baltimore. At 11-5 we will already have the #5 spot locked up when we play the Jets so we won't put anything new on tape. This will lead to an upset loss that ultimately means nothing.

I see 2-2...with Ls to Baltimore and NE......11-5.....I also see a WC win....no matter who we play....this season is turning into a much better one that I expected.....Josh is improving and the HC/GM combo has the Bills on the right track....we get the division next year....and hopefully a bye week in January....Go Bills !!

Exactly right. And the Steelers is the easiest remaining game on our schedule. Reminds me of the Broncos game. A fairly talented team without a QB, and I expect a similar outcome.

I do think they struggle with Baltimore.

 

This defense gets exposed week after week against the run, and creative run design is Roman's bread and butter.

 

That will put a lot of stress on Allen and this offense to keep pace with limited TOP.

 

I am not down on our team, I just think it is a bad matchup for us.

 

The rest, we can take Pittsburgh and we know what kind of fight the other two will be.

I really hope you’re right.  After Thursday, it looks possible.  If we play like that again, I’m changing my opinion.  Unfortunately down here in Tampa, we won’t get the SF/Baltimore game on network tv so I’m either going to a bar or AMC theater as they show some of the games.  I’ve never gone so might be fun to see this game at a movie theater.

 

If the 49ers can keep them in check, we have a game plan for next week.  I appreciate you’re comments.
