Time to go on record if you honestly believe this is still a SB caliber team or even a playoff team at this point

[Buffalo ill]

Could still win division or miss playoffs entirely.

You kid, but let's see if we ever actually win a championship with him. I have my doubts. He's mentally weak.

Yeah ok!  Speak your perception!

So, should we draft a new QB? Make a run at Rodgers?  What's your solution?

I would invest heavily in the offensive and defensive lines and hire a specialist to help Josh Allen become a stone-cold killer who's not so affected by what's going on around him.

[IronyAbounds]

Definite no to Super Bowl. Unlikely to the playoffs. KC is the only good team they have beaten, and they beat KC when KC was playing its worst ball. Next 4 games are tough, and unless they win at least 2 of them, 9 wins won't make the playoffs with the mediocre conference record. Next two weeks are huge. Win both and the Bills suddenly have a big leg up to win the Division with the tie-breaker against New England.

Offense has regressed. Some of it is weather, some of it is O-Line, some of it is Daboll. The problem is they continue to struggle against the run. Titans, Browns and Colts will cause some serious headaches in the playoffs. In terms of making it... beat NE twice and the division is yours. Then.. anything can happen but lets be real... this team isn't right

[Orlando Buffalo]

Definitely a playoff team but SB would need all of our big name players, which includes Star, Edmunds, and Spencer Brown, to be healthy

Ah yes. I looked at it wrong.

A month ago I would say: guaranteed playoff, not a doubt and great chance at super bowl. 
 

Today: Worried about making playoffs and also still think we could be in super bowl. 
 

The NE games seemed much more important to them than us. Now that has flipped. 

[Your Brown Eye]

Not unless they get red hot at the right time. They can't handle physical teams. The next 5-6 games maybe a blood bath and not in a good way.

Panthers

Falcons

Jets

 

only winnable games left on the schedule, should be good enough for a wild card and maybe they get their ***** together in the playoffs and make a run, highly unlikely

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

Still feel if all teams healthy Bills have the most talented lineup top to bottom.  That being said the one thing that brings out the worst in them is strong running teams like Tenn and Indy.

 

Really only 11 teams in AFC with a chance at playoffs, so need to beat out 4 of them.  AFC North, and West teams will beat each other up so that will help.

 

So overall, still feel they make the playoffs and then who knows??

9-8 is not making playoffs. 

[SoCal Deek]

ZERO chance of getting to the Super Bowl! Come on people. This is NOT the team we all were told they were. 

[Wizard]

First round playoff exit. The Titans, Colts, Ravens, Steelers,and Patriots all have the ability to run the ball. As long as we have the Swiss cheese defensive line and our one dimensional on offense, we are the 5th to 8th best team in the conference unless we play the Jets or Miami.

Barely a playoff team.  Can see them flaming out soon. Too soft.

A ton of posters are calling out the Bills today for being soft. And they're absolutely justified doing so. During the Jags debacle at least our defense kept fighting.  Today somewhere in the 2nd quarter the whole gang called it in. The 90's guys were talented but all finesse and no toughness. This team is no different. The sheer amount of penalties shows a complete lack of discipline Belichick would never tolerate. Do your job or you're off the team. I doubt Sean's ability to light a fire under their arses. And believe it or not a win in New Orleans won't necessarily change this identity.

What are you 14 years old? JFC people grow up and learn to control your emotions.

 

Those are the only winnable games we have left? Lmao.

[CircleTheWagons99]

At this moment. No and no. Lets see if they bounce back. 

[mabden]

The Bills are just as much a SB contender as any other team in the AFC. 

 

Except for jags, jets, dolphins, or raiders.

Way too early to make predictions. One key injury to any contender could tip the balance. 

 

That means we are not a great team if we need to rely upon an injury to another teams key player. 

[transplantbillsfan]

Why is it time to go on record?

 

What are you going to do to us if we say yes?

 

For the record, I think we CAN still be a Super Bowl team and probably still will be a playoff team.

 

As awful as today was, we're somehow still 1 loss behind the #1 seed. The AFC just generally sucks... or is universally good... can't figure out which it is.

 

Regardless, as bad as he was today, we have an Elite QB. That goes a long way in this conversation. What today (and last year, for that matter) should make us realize is how integral and underrated Star is to this D. Do I think we would've won with him alone? No. But Taylor wouldn't have had the game he had. Add Edmunds and Spencer Brown missing along with McKenzie's gift of a TD and Daboll's infuriating insistence on Moss over Breida and I think we could be a much better team against the Colts if we see them in the playoffs.
