Hear me out: We could very well win out

[Alphadawg7]

I’ve been looking at the schedule remaining, and there isn’t a game ahead we can’t win.  Does it mean we for sure win them all, of course not, but I don’t think it’s as crazy as some think to believe we go 5-1 or 6-0 down the stretch.  
 

Chargers:  Young promising QB makes them exciting or dangerous every week.  But they aren’t there yet and this should be a win as we are a better overall team and Allen should excel against that Chargers defense.  Fresh off a bye and healthy, I feel confident this will be a win.

 

29ers:  The team formerly known as the 49ers are basically half a team these days.  They are not gonna just roll over, but another game we are the better roster and clear favorite and feel confident in a win.

 

Steelers:  May be the least intimidating undefeated team this late in the season I’ve seen in a while.  They are a very good team, don’t get me wrong, and by far the toughest team remaining on our schedule.  But these guys are not always dominating and have shown to be vulnerable many weeks this year, even against lesser competition.  The defense isn’t as stout or feared as people believed coming into the season.  This will definitely be a major test for us, and I bet the Steelers will be the favorite, but I do like our chances to win this game.

 

Broncos:  I mean we are just the better team, that simple.  We should win this game.

 

Pats and Dolphins:  Divisional

foes are always tough no matter what the state of the teams are.  Add in both teams have been playing good football as of late, and it’s not easy to just pencil wins here.  But, I think we are still the better team over both and matchup well against both.  A lot is being made about Dolphins lately, but I still think they were more dangerous with Fitz than Tua.  Tua is the future and doing fine as the starter, but he isn’t there yet and I think we do better than most against mobile QBs.  So Tua is going to have to beat us with his arm and with the way Allen feasts on the Dolphins every game, I don’t think Tua can keep up with us in scoring.  
 

Im not predicting we win out, but for as much that has been made of our remaining schedule (especially compared to Dolphins), I’m not that uncomfortable with it and think we will still win at least 11 games, and 12 or 13 wins is still plausible despite some of the sky is falling thoughts around here.

YES 

 

WE 

 

CAN

[Jauronimo]

Hear, hear!

[Royale with Cheese]

[whatdrought]

I mean, there hasn’t been a single game where we were punching above our weight this year. We can beat every team when we’re at our best, we just laid two eggs and lost in a weird way Sunday. 

[aristocrat]

Comes down to being healthy and josh with no more multiple to games 

[Ramza86]

 

[Jauronimo]

Why does thread title sound like a cave man telling his parents about his alternative lifestyle?  

[NewEra]

We can. I don’t think we will.  I think we’ll have 2 more losses somewhere along the way

[Dkollidas]

One at a time boys and girls. I do think they’ll come out firing against the Chargers though and they’re gonna give Herbert a lot of looks he hasn’t seen. 

[Kwai San]

I hope so - I don't think so but I can hope.....

 

[4_kidd_4]

Can’t lose this sunday, so there’s that.

Here's one:

Too many!

[Rc2catch]

San Fran actually scares me the most. 
They’re beaten and bruised for sure but that is possibly the best run team I’ve ever watched. They just pluck any ol running back off the street and rush em for 75+ yards. They pluck all these receivers from nowhere and they run the ball. They even hand off to tight ends on motions and run them. 
It’s a game we SHOULD win but that run game is really scary to me. We have an offense that can put up points but they have to be on the field to do it. 

[Orlando Tim]

I expect 5-1 but 6-0 to me is more likely than 3-3. Really I think we wrap up division in NE and might rest all to get ready for playoffs

Yeah I agree with you on this.  I’m more worried about stopping the run against them than I am about beating Pats or Dolphins.  Steelers still toughest game ahead IMO, but SF next most concerning.  We are the better overall team, so I think we win, but Allen and the offense are going to have to produce points when we have the ball because I don’t think he will get as many chances given I expect the 49ers to eat a lot of time up on the ground keeping Allen off the field more.

well yeah, if we rest starters that’s a different situation.  But if we beat Pitt, I think we could be playing for playoff seeding still going into the final week which means we may be playing to win that final game.

Those plays wouldn't work if the opponents would just quit looking to see if Garoppolo brought Kiara Mia along.

pitt has balt us Indy and cle down the stretch that give us the shot for the 2 seed.  Could come down to final week if they drop a couple games

idk man, I read in the Game Day thread during the 2nd half of the Patriots game that we weren't going to win another game this year.

Here’s the full rankings of the NFL’s remaining strength of schedule based on opponent records:

13. Bills (.509)

 

20. Dolphins (.477)

 

26. Patriots (.453)

 

just putting it out there 

21. Steelers (.477)

[teef]

[RiotAct]

We could, but we won’t.  We’ll have at least one more stinker similar to how we played against the Titans.

 

11-5 is the most likely outcome, I think.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Steelers are a tough match up for bills.
 

Their defense might be the best and most complete D the bills have seen all year and their offense is balanced too. 

[Mark Vader]

That could happen. I don't expect it to happen, but it could.

 

I look forward to seeing how healthy we are when we play the Chargers.

[Don Otreply]

I hear yah, 

 

Go Bills!!!

[Coach Tuesday]

Ah yes, the annual "Here me out" thread.  Alpha was a real darkhorse candidate in this year's pool.  I had half my chips on T Master and the rest on Barbarian.  Darn it.

[MJS]

Sorry. I don't hear people out.

[May Day 10]

It's very hard to win 6 in a row.  There is so much fortune involved, even when playing teams perceived as "weaker".  

 

So many games come down to a missed fg, late turnover, controversial officiating, weather, etc.  Also add in the possibility of losing a position group to covid any given week

 

This is a big reason I refused to dock the Bill's credit for running the table with "easy" games last season.

[Greg S]

It would be nice but I think they go 4-2 the rest of the way. Lose to Pitt, split the NE/SF games, win the rest.

Their offense is prone to long stretches of ineffectiveness and entire bad games where they don't even get to 300 yards...

 

They also can be explosive at times too...kind of a weird dichotomy they have on O...usually they just do enough to squeak by tho.

I know Pittsburgh is the toughest game on the remaining schedule and most people want to circle this as a loss  but l think we win this game . 
Like I said the only game I’m worried about is the road game against pats****** and I don’t know if it’s more of a mental thing ( for me ) or maybe because of what they’ve done us for the last 20 years , and maybe because even the last game was a nail biter ? I don’t know what it is but that’s the ONLY game that scares me 

 

[Brennan Huff]

Hear me out, we could also lose every game for the rest of the year. Just saying it’s possible. I also enjoy pineapple on my pizza from time to time

[TroutDog]

I’m on board!
