extrahammer Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: Honestly, there is nothing this team cannot do. If someone told me they would not lose again this season including the playoffs, I would shrug my shoulders and say OK. I mean it's believable. Is there a single game on the schedule you would say the Bills shouldn't win? Maybe KC? Maybe if the D is still compromised in the secondary? If we have Poyer and Edmunds back I think they will be fine tho... It's amusing how fickle some fans are and how disappointed they always get when they're reminded this is the NFL. We just whooped a team that ranked 29th in defense. Allen is still our leading rusher, we still face several good teams after the bye week, and injuries won't just magically stop. Let's not put the cart before the horse, context matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not likely to change as long as Allen stays healthy. If any of these games were this week, everyone would be picking the Bills, yes. Equally, though, if you find a bet for the Bills going 11-1 the rest of the way, you'll get excellent odds. And very very likely lose. Teams have bad games. Opponents have good games. Players have injuries and get sick. Balls bounce strange. Receivers slap good passes up in the air to be interceptions. Fantastic QBs bounce short game-winning passes to short quick funny WRs in Miami. Fantastic QBs slip running game-winning quarterback sneaks. Stuff happens. Certainly not impossible. But yeah, quite unlikely. Which ain't rocket science. Just look into the odds if you want to make that bet. But who cares? That's not the question. The question is can they win enough games to be the #1 seed in the AFC. IMO the odds are higher for that and it's way more important.

GolfandBills Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Certainly all very winnable but i expect a hiccup or 2 in there. If Allen stays healthy and we need to win the game in week 17 I think 14-3 at the absolute worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Yobogoya! said: Vikings might actually be tougher than Packers this year. JJ is an X factor weapon that the Pack doesn't seem to have right now, regardless of how good Rodgers is. Might end up being a tougher out than the Bengals, too. Good point - that will be a close game probably. We should have White back for that one which will help immensely. Plus, I bet Diggs goes off against his former team.

Logic Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I don't think they win 11 in a row, but I think they go on an 8 or 9 game winning streak and ultimately wind up 13-4. Whether or not 13-4 is good enough for the one seed may depend upon whether or not the Bills beat the Chiefs next Sunday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 they can lose any game. I have faith in the coaching and athletes that they will be fully prepared more often than not. Winning 10+ game is a row in the NFL is really hard. The Bills can definitely do it. Especially since so many wins are blowouts and eliminates the factors like bad luck, bad call, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop the 90% to 85%, then the chance of winning 11 in a row is 17%. After the Bills trounced the Titans, would you have thought they’d go into Miami and lay an egg? They almost lost the next week again at the Ravens! Yes, they can be dominant, but there’s many games on the remaining schedule that they can also lose. I don’t consider the Miami loss as laying an egg. Laying an egg is how we lost to JAX last year. The Miami loss is as good of a loss as can be possible. If not for the heat exhaustion, Josh hits McKenzie for a td and we win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree...at one point they had 12 starters out and had 4 backup OLinemen in, 2 playing out of position, and their 3 WR set featured backup TE Quinton Morris, FB Reggie Gilliam and rookie RB James Cook. And Allen was STILL moving the ball at will. They outgained the Dolphins by almost 300 yards. How is that laying an egg? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruffalo Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 As good as the team is, probably not. Winning football games is hard, even though this team often times makes it look easy. Would be cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound sad that I pointed out we beat a team with a 29th ranked defense without their best defensive player? It sounds like you are sad. Don't be sad.

We are 2nd in the NFL in points scored and 1st in the NFL(tied) for least points allowed. Once again leading the NFL in net points by a large margin, almost double the next closest team. #1 in yards on offense by a large margin, #2 on yards on defense(thanks to soft coverage) Context over the course of the season compared to every other team in the NFL matters too.
