The rest of the Season


Cygnus99

Recommended Posts

Yes it was a heart breaker loss against the Titans , at least we have a BYE . Here my prediction for the rest of the season we are now first in AFC East standing at 4-2 not bad but could be better 

Miami Dolphins WIN 

At Jacksonville Jaguars WIN 

At NY Jets WIN 

Indianapolis Colts another heart breaker LOSS 

At New Orleans Turkey day WIN 

New England Patriots WIN 

At Tampa Bay Buccaneers I hate to say this but that is a LOSS 

Carolina Panthers WIN 

At New England Patriots LOSS

Atlanta Falcons WIN 

New York Jets WIN 

 

Buffalo Bills will be 12-5 and win the division 

We will not get number one seed but we will win at least on playoff game , I don't think this is our year for the Super Bowl yet , still a few issues to be fixed but we are heading in the right direction . 2022 will be better

I don’t see us losing to any team other than the Bucs, and that’s not a foregone conclusion.  We will finish 13-4 to 14-3.  #1 seed we’ll see.  Still 11 games for everyone.  
 

I do not see us losing to the Colts or Pats.

 

I see us losing a game they should win.  be it indy, no, or carolina.

Bills MAY lose 2 more. 

13-4. 

#1 seed. 

All is well.

The schedule is almost...boring the rest of the way.

 

who are we losing to?  My issue is that we are 1-2 against teams over .500.  not great.  Our lines need to play MUCH better in big games.

Man I’d love to see this board if like last year’s SB champs we put up 3 points on the Saints.  It’s a long season. ***** happens. 

 

last year's SB Champs have not played the Saints yet.  Not sure what you are talking about?

There it is.  We're not going to the SB.  might as well just lose out and get a better draft position cuz this isn't our year folks.

 

Geez, having a discussion about the team and what it needs to do to improve is not  the sky is falling.  Quit acting to posters who want to point out what we can do to improve in this manner.  If you have nothing to add but snark, perhaps don't add it.

The loss last night annoyed me more than it got me down on the team.  Because no matter that the defense couldn't make a stop, or special teams penalties as usual screwed up a few good returns including McKenzie's TD, or that the offense left way too points on the table in the Red Zone, they were 1/2 foot away and an Allen slip on the turf from pulling it out.  It was unfortunate.  Maybe the Titans just have their number right now?  Can anybody explain how the team we saw last night lost to the Jets?  If you've seen the Jets play this season that seems impossible yet it happened.

 

A bye week now and the loss feel like a flashback to last year's Cardinals game.  They got focused, went to work, and ran the table down the stretch.  Are they going to run the table here?  Maybe not.  But they have a week of rest and another week to fix a couple things.  And looking ahead at the schedule the Bucs game might be the only game where the Bills will be the underdog.

I think the Bills will get a scare from the Jets at MetLife. The Jets defense particularly their front 7 is pretty good. They could out physical the Bills OL and make life difficult for Allen. I don't think the Bills will lose as I expect the D to make life miserable for Wilson.  The Jets have nothing to play for and they will look at this game as their Super Bowl. I could see the Bills escaping with a close win. Last year at MetLife they only won 18-10 by kicking 6 FG's. The Jets for some reason play the Bills tough despite the Bills having much better talent.

I’m referring to the season the Bucs had last year before they won the SB. 
There is a difference between pointing out how we can get better and claiming this isn’t a SB team or somehow our D And O line suck.  JMO.

I see one or two more losses coming: TB (likely) and one more heart-breaker like last night.

14-3 or 13-4, maybe a #2 seed.

 

 

If they get to that record, it will be the one seed...other teams have much harder schedules than the Bills and in some cases will knock each other off. Bills have the easiest schedule in the NFL remaining

I guess you don't understand sarcasm.  I'm 100% optimistic that we'll be hoisting that Lombardi in February.  We have the best team right now and we simply just didn't execute last night.  I believe they're gonna take this bye, correct their mistakes, and run the table after the bye.  I just simply disagree with posters saying that we don't have the right pieces in place.  We absolutely do, it's all about execution and we did not execute last night.  It's a long season and teams will not want to see us in the end.

I hope that's true, but our two losses so far could bite us in the @$$ on head-to-head tie-breakers.

Well Pittsburgh is certainly not going to be in position for a 1 seed.  Tennessee has the Chiefs, Rams, Steelers and 49ers left...plus they have the Colts and Patriots...honestly after losing to the Jets, there really isn't a game they can't lose on their schedule.

Super bowl or bust. Anything less is a disappointment. I would have said that before the season and after 6 weeks it should be more feasible, not less. KC clearly has come down a notch. We better not get leapfrogged by BAL, LAC, TEN, CLE or anyone else.

I also predicted 12-5 (and losing in the divisional round) this year and after last night it's still probably a safe bet given the flaws this team is likely going to overcome.

 

The only change I would make in your prediction is beating the Colts and losing on Thanksgiving to the Saints.

 

The big issue though when looking at this schedule is the Bills will likely continue to win against bottom feeder types but struggle against average to good teams the rest of the way.

Predictions below. We become CIN fans rooting for wins vs KC, LAC and at least one vs BAL. Then get to watch CIN beat KC in the 1st round, BAL beats CLE, LAC beats TEN. Bills end CIN season and play LAC who beat BAL. Bills beat LAC for match up in LA vs Rams in Super Bowl. 

 

1 - BUF: 13-4 (losses to TB, NYJ resting starters)

2 - KC: 13-4 (losses @ CIN)

3 - BAL: 12-5 (losses @ CLE, @ CIN, GB, LAR)

4 - TEN: 12-5 (losses KC, @LAR, @PIT)

5 - LAC 13-4 (losses @CIN, KC)

6 - CLE: 11-6 (losses @CIN, @BAL, @GB)

7 - CIN: 11-6 (losses @BAL, @LAV, @DEN, @CLE)

I think every teams fans are thinking it's not their year...even the 5-1 teams have looked pretty mediocre against bad-average opponents.  The Ravens have been about as lucky as you can get so far.  Also keep in mind each team is gonna have more holes than usual because the cap was significantly reduced

I don't like projecting wins--- so many variables.  I do believe they will lose at least 3 or 4 more. Issues on both lines can't be resolved during the season.

 

Bills will definitely lose another game nobody expects (i.e. simliar the Jets beating the same Titans team we just lost too). In fact if this team does have any kind of hang over coming out of the bye I'll be very wary of the back to back to road games against the Jets and Jaguars as a spot for that to likely happen.

 

I also don't see us sweeping the Pats with both games against them later in the season and based on how they played against the Bucs and Cowboys despite losing I can definitely see us being a victim there.

 

Either way things would have to completely go off the rails for the Bills to not win the division and make the playoffs. In fact they could go 5-6 the rest of the way and finish 9-8 and probably stlll win the division by a game or two unless the Pats get hot down the stretch.

I haven’t and I live here bud.  We have to be better than last night.  We need KC mojo.  The Bucs secondary is still suspect.

 

it is not a foregone conclusion we lose to Tampa.  I respect them and watch them when they don’t conflict with the Bills.  They will be our toughest opponent until the playoffs.

 

Bottom line for me is dinner was great, I’m going to enjoy a nice bowl of raspberry sherbet for a weekly delight and forget about the Bills for a few days.  I’ll check in but I won’t be thinking about it like yesterday all day. The players need a mental holiday and I think we do too.
