Just Joshin' Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The Bills need to beat KC or Seattle and split with NE to get the divisional advantage. If they lose like NE already has then no cushion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would put them at 10-6 and at that record could still be the division winner. Now I am not at all saying they will go 6-6 the rest of the season, but barring injury to Allen I see them going at worst 7-5, and that is my worst case scenario. If the Titans game goes on as scheduled Sunday Tennessee will be very depleted missing so many players. Suddenly that game is extremely winnable if it goes on. Chiefs game will be so tough, but Buffalo can pull it off. At that point Bills are 6-0 or 5-1 at worst. There's no such thing as comfortable with this squad.

A 2 game, 1st Place record is definitely rarified air! I recall Mark Kelso being interviewed about a 4-0 record. He said ‘you break up the season in quarters. You want to be 3-1 each quarter because that translates to 12-4 and a likely Division title. But mostly because it shows consistency vs 1-3 one quarter, 4-0 the next.’ We went to the Super Bowl that season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 There is no way anyone who feels comfortable with a 4-0 record before even playing the Pats was a fan before the Superbowl years. All this talk about winning the conference, getting a first round bye etc is absolutely ridiculous. It is way too early to be talking about anything other than the Titans game. All you guys talking like we've already arrived - we haven't done crap yet. Yes it's great to be 4-0 and up 2 games in the division but there is a long season ahead and until we beat the Hoodie and beat them definitively we haven't done jack.

I know we want to crush New England but if we can hang with or even beat KC it catapults this team to huge expectations nationwide. Obviously the defense hasn’t given many reasons to think they can force a turnover or a punt vs KC. It’s a good measuring stick for expectations for me anyways I understand this take but this team needs to put New England away first and foremost 3 minutes ago, Greg S said: I am not writing off the Chiefs game.

BigBuff423 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Man, this is sooooo too early to be saying anything like this....I love the start the season for the Bills and I have reason for optimism for the Defense while the Offense has shown one quarter of the way through the season they are legit. But....let's pump the brakes on "cushion" and playoffs. COVID, injuries, player regression, and schedule ALL play a role long before we get to the end of the season. Let's be grateful and happy the start has happened the way it has for the Bills and encouraged by what we've witnessed while also knowing, this team will need to overcome adversity to challenge for the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a fun ride.... As long as JA stays healthy, that's not happening. As you said, he is not Trentative. He's as far from that as you can get. He won't let the team go in the tank, even if there are some tough losses here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen has 12 through 4 games. I was curious as to his whereabouts these days so I had a look. Turns out Trent is now the co-founder of STRIVR, a training and performance company. Have to say, I found the homepage of their site funny (https://www.strivr.com/), scroll down and in HUGE letters it says "RESULTS YOU CAN SEE".
