psuscott16 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I worry about the 49ers simply because of their running scheme and our inability to stop the run. Same with the Patriots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I feel you on this OP! Agree with each of your game assessments, but would like to pile on the Dolphins—let’s call a spade a spade—Allen is quickly becoming to the Dolphins what Brady was to us in the division, or Kelly the kryptonite of Marino...for me the Steelers represent the biggest remaining challenge, but we’re certainly no worse than even odds to come out of that with a win too. 7 minutes ago, psuscott16 said: I worry about the 49ers simply because of their running scheme and our inability to stop the run.

Nitro Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The Bills, if they are healthy after the bye, can will five out of six. They are not just beating the lesser teams. They have held their own against top teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying it’s possible. I also enjoy pineapple on my pizza from time to time You’re the one. Pineapple on pizza? You’re dead to me. 😂. I get the sarcasm, and yes, we could win them all, we could lose them all, and we can go 3-3. I like Dawg’s positive attitude. The Steelers are a real test. If we beat them, I’m feeling great about a deep run in the playoffs. I can also see a version where we beat the Steelers, but lose a trap game. I sincerely hope that is simply an irrational fear.

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. Yeah, I have a similar feeling. I’m not predicting that we’ll go 6-0 but I could very much see us winning all of these games. That’s why I’m not too concerned about the Dolphins at this point like a few are. I think they’ll fade at the end and won’t be able to keep pace with us. it’s so refreshing to be able to look at the schedule and say we could win all of these games. It use to be that you’d have to invent ways to picture them winning. Now, the confidence is there. If we just play like we’re capable, we can do it!

Bill from NYC Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 For that matter, a super bowl win isn't out of the question. I feel like this season (in the NFL and college) a team doesn't need to be a dominant powerhouse to win it all. Too many variables with covid19. That said, the team that wins will need almost flawless execution, depth, and lucky breaks. This year, the Bills are talented enough to win it all. In a normal season this would be a bit more debateable but now we have a real shot. Obviously, the above is jmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rk_Bills86 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 A more promising point that I think some posters are getting at here is -- We're going to start after the bye with about as healthy of a team as we've had all year. Looking at the games: Chargers - We come out of bye, healthy, this should be a W 49ners - Injury plagued team - We should treat this as the best possible way to prepare for the biggest challenge of the year. We need to be impressive with a W here Steelers - When the season started, before the 9iners essentially died, I wanted us to split between the two opponents. I think, if healthy, we can get a W. Broncos - We should win this Pats - Pending record they might play back-ups - they aren't tanking... but they are evaluating and positioning for next year when they will have higher draft picks and get 8 players back from the COVID opt-out. Even if they play all of their starters, I think we still win. Phins - If we are 2 games up - we're playing back ups Could we win all 6? Sure. but 4-2 is more realistic and should be enough to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2Moulds Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I agree that we can run tbe table, but more likely go 4-2 or 5-1, if we stay healthy down the stretch. Here's how I rank our opponents, measured by concern. 1. NE (mauling oline, best secoundary we will face and of course BB). Regardless of record, worst matchup. 2. Pitt (Elite pass rushers, HOF QB) 3. Mia (humming right now on D, Brian Flores looks like the real deal.) 4. SF (elite running team, but too many injuries. Their Running game is more scheme based, and based on athletic lineman more so than the big maulers. I think we have more trouble with the maulers. 5.Chargers (Herbert) 6. Broncos (no concerns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Eh, after that Arizona game I'm fairly convinced the Bills are a decent team, but not special. They aren't going to be able to "impose their will" to win games like the Steelers or some other teams. The Cardinals really took it to Buffalo in the 3rd and beginning of 4th Qtrs...and they Cards really aren't that good. So that was disappointing. Good teams don't let that happen. That being said I think the Bills go 3-3 in the final six and will finish 10-6. Probably will beat LA, SF and Miami. But they will definitely lose a game or two that we all *think* they should win.

TigerJ Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I had said in another thread that there is not a game remaining on the Bills' schedule that they can't possibly win. Buffalo has the horses to beat Pittsburgh if players show up. That said, I think 4-2 is probably a more likely result down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately kind of how I see it as well. We need to find ways to stop the run, and need to fix the third quarter issues. I’d like to be pleasantly surprised, but I think the Bills need to show us more before I’ll honestly feel they’re a team that’s ready to win in the post season. We’ve had way too many games come down to the wire. Gotta start closing teams out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 3 tough games 3 favored. I can see Buffalo beating every team remaining. Pitts has it flaws. Buffalo has beat the most teams with a winning record. Miamis defense is Belicheck lite. Its man coverage with manufactored pressure. They dont have the offspeed stuff Belicheck has up his sleeve. Play zone make you run it type of weekly game plans. Allen will have another huge day. Can Tua win a shoot out in the snow? I dont think he can. Can Ne play another near flawless game? I dont. Buffalo wins 4 to 5 games remaining and week 17 doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this years Pats team gave the Bills all they could handle. If not for a Newton fumble that game is either going to OT or the Pats win. I think the Bills can beat the Pats at NE but it will be a tough game especially in primetime. Maybe it’s because we’ve owned the dolphins lately and the patriots have owned us for years, but I agree, the Pats game still seems harder.
