Our division

Recommended Posts

I still think we will win it but it is going to be  very challenging. At the end of the standings I picture this: Buffalo, NY Jets and New England all make it to the playoffs 

final standings 

Buffalo 14-3 ( 4-2  against the division ) 

NY Jets 12-5 ( 3-3  against the division ) 

New England 11-6 ( 3-3 against the division ) 

Miami 8-9 ( 2-4  against the division ) 

Also Which division is better the ACF East or the NFC East ? All opinions welcomed !! GO BILLS !!

I think the key will be no trap games. We got really screwed on that Jags loss last year and in the back of my mind I keep wondering which team could do that to us again. Divisional opponents could, Patriots are getting on a roll having won 2 in a row, Jets have won 3 in a row, . Vikings are 5-1. I think we've faced our toughest opponent already in KC, but I don't like that short week against the Lions. The Bengals game could be big, but at the same token it does seem like our Bills are way more dialed in this year.

As for the Jets put 8 in the box and stop Hall. Even though they have good WR's, Mr. Milf man hasn't shown he can throw the ball well on a consistent basis. Their defense is legit though. The Pats are a solid team and with Bill they are dangerous. But the Bills are better and Allen seems to have NE's number. See last years games vs them as a reminder. The fish have no QB and they barely beat the Bills who were playing a lot of backups that day. The rematch in Buffalo where it won't be 100 degrees out against a healthy ( hopefully) Bills team will be a different story.

The Jets are NOT going to win 12 games this season.  They are not going to lose only once to teams other than the Bills over the next 11 games.

 

Yeah, let's pump the brakes a bit on the Jets.  Nice early season story.  The defense is playing the way Saleh wants, but we know what Josh did to Saleh's defense in SF.  Their offense is definitely a WIP -- it's basically run the ball and don't eff it up.  That won't get it done against teams who can actually score.  The Browns inexplicably gave them a W.  The Fish played their Super Bowl in W3 and are done.  The Packers gifted them a TD and allowed a big run.

 

I'm not saying they aren't playing hard, and they have a lot of good, young draft picks -- but they aren't winning 12 games.

 

The Jets are at Denver next week and that's pretty much a must-win for the Broncos, who DO have a great defense.  Then they play the Pats*** twice in three games, with the Bills in-between.

 

Come back to me with their record after the next four.  I'm calling 6-4 at best.

One good win against the Packers. The hype is unreal.

 

The way GB is going how "good" of a win was it. I expect the Bills to win by at least two scores when they play on SNF.

Better than expected but I think they are still meh teams. 

 

They have benefitted from playing a lot of crap teams.

 

I wouldn't expect the Bills to lose any more division games.

 

However, AFC East is the only division where every team is .500 or better.

The Lions will have a short week too. That gives us a mini-bye before going to New England. 
With numerous injuries the Bills beat the defending super bowl champs, Ravens, the Titans-top AFC seen 9 months earlier, and just defeated perennial juggernaut Chiefs.  They barely lost to the Dolphins. If Josh wasn’t running on fumes in that heat, he completes the pass to McKenzie and Bills win. 
Unless Josh goes down, I don’t have any worries regarding remaining opponents. 
They may have an off day and stumble against the Jets or some other inferior team, but I believe they’re focused and will be top seed.

According to Football Outsiders Future Schedule DVOA Rankings, the Bills have the easiest remaining schedule in the AFC East, ranking 24th toughest in the NFL.

 

Dolphins remaining schedule ranks 18th, Pats, 10th and Jets have the hardest schedule remaining in the NFL.

I doubt any AFC East team outside the Bills makes the playoffs

I just don't see them maintaining the momentum. But I am equally surprised with their start to the season

I do see a WC coming out of the AFC East. The AFC South is atrocious. The AFC North could get a WC, but as of now all of those teams look middling and they will beat each other up. The AFC West was overinflated. Chargers/ Chiefs out of that division.

 

Jets/ Dolphins/Pats could all be in play for a WC birth. Don't see a team in the East finishing worse than 8-9.

I'm waiting for the hot season start to move to a mid season reality check... But I'm being ignorant cause I don't watch much football outside of the Bills

I'm not even sure the Packers can be considered a good win, they look really bad. Obviously have the talent to beat people but their missing something this year.

I will bet anyone on this forum any amount of money that the Jets will not make the playoffs.

 

12-5? Good Lord.

 

There's only one threat in this division. I've said this all year. It's the team that Bill Belichick coaches. The rest are jokes.

The Bills are going to go 5-1 in the Division.  They aren't losing to any of these teams, but the Jets and Pats will not go down easily.  I think the Jets or the Pats make the playoffs, but not both.  My money is on the Jets going 11-6.  I see them losing to the Bills 2x, the Vikings, and the Jaguars or Pats.  The Jets and the Jaguars are going to be very tough down the stretch.  

 

Getting the #1 seed is huge for Buffalo.  We really don't want to have to play a team like the Jets or Jaguars, then the Bengals or Chargers, before having to head to Kansas City. Teams like the Jets and Jaguars can beat you up pretty good.

Going into this season I had the Bills going 4-2 in the AFC East.  Since we already lost to Miami I'm expecting a loss somewhere along the way vs. NYJ or NE.   It's the NFL, Division games will be tough.

And this is exactly why the Bills will destroy the division. Because we are elite and the rest of the division is only just decent to good. They will beat each other up all season and we will end up going 5-1 or 4-2. 
 

anyone can look at what these teams are doing now and say what they think they will finish with. But fail to think about them playing each other and how it will play out. There’s no way both the jets and pats will end up with over 11 wins considering they play each other and the rest of the division.  Like someone already posted, the thought of the Jets only losing 2 more games is absurd. By that rationale, we won’t lose another game until sometime next season.

I do think someone in this division gets a WC.  Not sure who yet.  Everyone thought the AFC was stacked but through 6 games it looks like the AFC has two dominant teams and then a bunch of average teams.  For them its going to be about who they play and when they play them.

I dont see any team from AFC East beside Buffalo making the playoffs. 

The wildcard teams will be second place team in AFC West most likely Chargers and North, probably Baltimore. Denver is toast and so too is probably Las Vegas. 

Then you have the AFC South where as bad as they are, I think Tenn and Colts probably both make it perhaps with identical 10-7 records.  

I'm skeptical that Miami, NE, or NYJ can get to 10 wins.

I pretty much agree with this but I would swap the Jets and Miami.

 

Jets are a young upstart team but I still don't trust MILF boy, but that defense will be a problem regardless. Also who have they beat of note other than a GB team that may very well be a non playoff squad this year. Last second wins against a bad Browns and Steelers team do nothing for me. And they beat the dolphins with their 3rd string QB in a game that was actually also close in the 4th quarter before wheels came off.

 

Dolphins should be fine once Tua is back, but the Pats are a team to keep a close eye on right now as they are starting to fire on all cylinders again like last year when they were also 1-3 and left for dead. I really think they may run the table up until our first meeting with them in early december on the TNF game.

Jets are going to make the playoffs.  They are without question the 3rd, 4th or 5th best team in the AFC.  There is a big drop off after the Bills and Chiefs, but there is a good argument the Jets are the 3rd best team in the AFC.

Jets are not going 12-5.  They have the hardest remaining schedule in the NFL.  NE isn't getting to 11 wins either.  

 

I see both as 7-9 win teams.

Based on what? They've won four games through smoke and mirrors.

 

We see starts like this from paper tigers literally every NFL season.

Without question?  They beat the Browns by 1 point in a miracle game where it only happened because Chubb wants to pad his stats more than he wants wins.  They beat a terrible Steelers team when they benched Trubisky at the half on the last play of the game. They beat a Dolphins team playing their 3rd string rookie in his first NFL game with no game prep and they beat a GB team that looks decidedly average at best.  That was their best win.

 

I'm not sure how that gets them to 5th best team in the AFC.  Or maybe that just says how bad the AFC is compared to what we thought it would be.
