Well said.

 

It's weird, TFB, as I believe that Miami is the better of the two teams, but I still respect the Jets maybe more.

 

I hate...hate our two losses to them, but right now at this point in time I believe the Bills are locking into their late season focus and...as such also at this point in time, and in the overall scheme of things, "the great worry" in the AFC East is not that the Bills have to play the Jets and the Dolphins...

 

...but that THEY have to play Buffalo.

 

GO BILLS!

 

 

 

I disagree with on the Jets and Dolphins. I think the Jets are better. Miami's 5 game winning streak came against teams with .282 winning percentage. To their credit they took advantage of that. Starting yesterday and the next 2 weeks at LAC, at BUF they will be exposed as an average team. Tua is better then White but as for the rest of their rosters I think the Jets are better.

Chiefs at Denver and at Vegas could be hard games. Last game of the year may be a playoff spot for Raiders who are playing better. They have a run game and dominant WR that can keep Mahommes and Kelce off the field. Raiders also have decent pass rush. 

I think KC drops one more game and the real fight for #1 seed is with the Bengals

I say the Chiefs have to be on the lookout against both the Seahawks and the Raiders. The Seahawks may be in a bit of trouble depending on the extent of Walker's injury, but they have a solid team none the less. The Raiders are on a 3 game win streak and Josh Jacobs is the truth. Carr and Devante are starting to look like they did in college as well. The Chiefs COULD get two more L's, though I think they could also roll through everyone. 

 

The Bengals have the the toughest schedule of the three. All the games you highlighted are possible L's. I'm hoping they catch two though, one to us and then one of their other games. I hope we are as healthy as we have been all season for that week 17 matchup. 

 

Our schedule is not easy, but we should win all of these games. The one that makes me nervous more than of the others is, of course, at Cincy. We just need to take care of business the rest of the way. Do whatever it takes to win, I don't care. Run the ball, pass the ball, ride off of the defense, whatever. Having the Playoffs run through Buffalo, as well as that week off, would be HUGE and a distinct advantage for us.

Any chance Russ goes in the wayback machine for one of the Chiefs game?  No?.. oh, ok.

 

Seahawks game is tough, but man that Chiefs schedule is cake.

 

Raiders game final weekend is sneaky..  Raiders will be 10-6 if they win their next four games.  Next four games.. Rams, Pats, Steelers, Niners...

We had a saying where I worked some years ago, it was a small company and every employee really did make a difference, it was this,

 

“Focus, or Fuh k us” 

 

GO BILLS!!!

Also well said, and no real argument from me.  That's where my respect for them comes from.

 

Man, Greg...I just think the Jets have a nastiness about them that Miami doesn't have or can't muster, record compared between the two be damned.

In a strange twist, the 1 seed is likely to come down to @ Bengals. Just as it ( possibly) did with the Chiefs. This is not going to be a slam dunk for the Bills and may be the only game on their schedule that they’ll be an underdog. The Bengals can giveth and taketh away.

That will be a tough game for sure. People don't talk about Burrow as much as they do Mahomes and Allen. He is proving himself to be in that class. I think these 3 are the top QB's in the NFL. I would put Herbert at 4.

Right now, we just have to keep winning.  If the Chiefs and Bengals find a way to lose one more themselves, we get a little cushion.  Either way, we have to win the next two division games.

 

I think we need to win out for home field.  KC I think, or at least should run the table.

Huh?  The text is suggesting that if we handled the kickoff right or played better defense in the final seconds that one win would be a loss...and thus 0-6

Then kc would have never played the Bengals in the championship game so 0-5 would technically be correct.

Right, if they lost against us in the playoffs they would not have gone on to face the Bengals and lost in the AFCC. They only played the Bengals because they beat us.

Bengals game is enormous as they could knock the Bills down to the 3 seed. Don’t want to look to far ahead as we have tough games before this. It could be the difference between drawing the Chiefs or not seeing them until a potential AFC title game. Of course this is if all 3 teams hold serve until then ; a lot can change in a month.

0-5, not 0-6.

They played the Bills and Bengals twice last season and 1 each this season. The Chiefs only win was 13 seconds. 
 

I see, if we beat the Chiefs the Bengals don’t play them.

There were at least 5 or 6 big hits by the Jets even on completed passes...they are laying the lumber

It’s possible that at the end of the year the Bills will have beaten every AFC playoff team (splitting with the Dolphin and Jets). That would be pretty wild.

I just posted on another thread that the Bills haven't played a real bottom feeder this year. The Steelers are not a good team, but they play teams close. Same goes for the Lions and Browns. When the Bills played the Rams, they had a healthy Stafford and Kupp. Probably the worst team the Bills played were the Packers. This is all to say that I cannot wait for the Bears game.

I have been talking about this with friends sine the end of the Pats.

 

It is a crazy interesting stat which I don't think has resonated in conversation.

 

I am to think about the fact that seven teams make the playoffs and that one team has beaten every other team over the course of the season is remarkable...maybe even every team that ends up 2 through 8, as well.

 

Yes...so much for weak schedule, indeed.

 

 

EDIT:

 

2 through 9 if Cleveland rallies, as I believe they are going to do, even against halfway decent teams.

Can’t sleep on the Bears, they have good players and of nothing else can play spoiler. Not as bad of a team as many think, they do have injuries though.

True.  We've played a really tough schedule so far, and our 3 losses are by a combined 8 points to teams with a current aggregate record of 25-11.  If we get home field advantage, we will have really earned it.

That's true of any NFL team. But the Bears will be the team with the worst final record that we play all year.

Who would've ever thought the Cincinnati Bengals would always have a special place in our hearts??  

 

Thank you Andy, thank you Joe!  

 

We control our own destiny with five winnable games, in which I'm guessing we'll be favored in with the exception of maybe @Cincinnati.  Guys healing up and getting healthy for the postseason....and wouldn't it be wonderful to get back Von AND perhaps Hyde for the playoffs???

 

you guys have seen what we can do to teams at 55 - 65%....if/when we get close to full strength.....OMG league watch out....

 

Bad things man, bad things....

 

p.s.  I can't remember a week when EVERY game we needed to went our way

This is the type of team the Bills are a very bad matchup for...disciplined on D, Fields will make some plays with his legs but he will be seeing ghosts out there.
