SoCal Deek Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 With the Bills having taken care of their own business last night, we turn our attention to the rest of the AFC contenders, all of whom play on Sunday this week. I don’t recall a weekend where the schedule lines up quite as nicely as it does for the Bills…at least on paper anyway. All of the contenders (with the exception of Baltimore) are playing difficult road games. All are underdogs except the Chiefs who are barely favored in Cincinnati. Jets at Vikings Titans at Eagles Dolphins at 49ers Chiefs at Bengals Chargers at Raiders Could the Bills ‘lap the field’? Let’s hope so! 3 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I am hoping the 49er's and Bengals can come up big. It will be fun to watch and not stress about the Bills, they are getting well-earned rest. Whatever happens we have to win our games, one at a time. 13 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Odds would say Chiefs won’t go 15-2, but if they don’t lose to the Bengals, I’m not sure where that L comes from. Would be nice, after everything this team has dealt with, to go into the final stretch in control of their post-season positioning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty amazing, that all the teams the Bills care about have tough games on the road. We can probably expect that two games will go our way, and three's possible. Four would be great. Only an idiot would bet on a five-game parlay. Of course, I might fall into the idiot category. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an amazing pass rush and a very good secondary… their weakness is a meh to god awful O. the truth is 3 of the next 4 games will be rather tough games for the Bills.. and the 1 lay up could be hard if their starting QB is back. So hardly an easy run for the Bills. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 We have to beat Miami regardless - can’t go 0-2 against them but yes every loss will be nice. Going to need to beat a potentially only 4 loss team in Cincinnati at the end of the season to if a tiebreaker with them is necessary. We control our own destiny. Well our training staff does anyway.

BullBuchanan Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Do we want the jets to lose or would we rather they win and put more talented teams on the hot seat? They arent a threat to our postseason unless we lose. Same with the titans. I'm FAR more worried about the dolphins and even how we match up against the chargers.

Punching Bag Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 1 hour ago, SageAgainstTheMachine said: I don't think of the Chargers and Titans as very consequential but why do you want the Jets to win? Likely to reduce their chances of getting a good draft pick in 2023. As long as Bills beat them and win our games it is to our advantage that they be competitive and make games tougher for other teams they play. Once teams are out of playoffs they the foot off the pedal and tell players who are going to get surgery during off season to get it earlier.

Utah John Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Even if Miami loses this Sunday, if they beat the Bills later on, they still win the division. Even if Miami wins this Sunday, if the Bills beat them, the Bills win the division. Assuming both teams win out otherwise. So this week's Miami game isn't as critical as the KC-Cincinnati game, which is probably the Bill's last best hope for getting home field through the playoffs.

I’ve got the same evaluation for the jets game as I had pre pats game lol…if edmunds and Milano play the jets won’t win…barring mike white being a hidden gem of course. Jets just went after the bills depth linebackers all game last game. They would not have cracked double digits if edmunds and poyer played. bills won’t be firing on all cylinders on offense if Dawkins/quessenberry are out but they should win comfortably Miami is honestly not a bad matchup for us…unless they have really sorted their defense out which may or may not be the case. It took the bills being down 5 offensive linemen for them to generate any kind of pressure last game. They’ve also lost armstead for several weeks minimum which is a huge loss The bills had a really quirky schedule…lots of injuries early and the three road division games came before any home division games. I’d be pretty surprised if they don’t finish 2-1 or better in their last 3 division games it’s possible the dolphins have just been buoyed by a stretch of pretty easy games and they lose two or three down the stretch. Or they could be the dominant team people think they might be. Should be a fun finish Edited December 2, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pass rush is better than NE and well the Pats were living in the backfield all night. Yes I know Allen can make plays on the run but their secondary is also LIGHT YEARS better than NE. This game IMO will be won or lost by Buffalos D because the Jets O is not as good as NE, that or they are still hexed by BB. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really you don't see a potential loss in that group? I don't think it's far-fetched to come up with a scenario where they lose three of those five. I'm not saying it's likely, I would say 3-2 is most likely, but I'm not sold on Miami to the point that them going 4-1 in the last 5 is a given. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I definitely don’t disagree with what you’re saying are the strengths of the jets…but the bills defense without scrubs starting at lb/in the secondary is getting downplayed pretty hard in your assessment imo. We got quite a few big time defensive players back for the NE game. bills will probably win it in similar fashion to the pats game score wise…I’m expecting low 20s to low 10s.

gtw3 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I said a few weeks ago in a different thread (perhaps after the Jets game, cant really remember) that by the end of week 13 the Bills would be the number 1 seed in the AFC again. We just needed to take care of business with our schedule. Granted, I thought the Chiefs were going to lose the game to the Chargers for that to happen and I thought the Fins would be riding into SF as the number 1 seed, rife for a reality check. But the end result will be the same. Go Bengals LFG 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
