Finish 7-10 and seemingly zero desire. honestly it's Diggs and Phillips. everyone else seems to barely been going through the motions I've been managing teams (not sports, tech professionals) for 20+ years now and I can see when a team is done and needs to be reorganized/surplussed The Bills are 100% in this category now. They need a shock to the system and something to motivate them. Unfortunately extrinsic motivation is an extremely poor substitute for intrinsic, which means the process isn't working 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said it before the Giants and Patriots games too ....... i doubt this team runs any up anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 If the Bills continue to play the way they have the last 3 games yes they will miss the play offs this season & matter of fact every season going forward with this kind of play .

Success Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 This thread is the ultimate hot take - I think every fanbase gets like this during a swoon, but it doesn't make the sentiment more valid. It's more emotion than reality.. We have as much chance of running the table as we do of missing the playoffs. I have no idea which way it will go. But no one does at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hot take would be saying we need to trade Josh Allen, or fire everybody. Looking at our current results, and upcoming schedule and thinking we may miss the playoffs by a game (or tie breaker) is not a hot take at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I am usually an optimist, but I think the injuries on defense are too much to overcome. Maybe our offense shows better in some games going forward, but it is not consistent enough to outweigh a weakened defense in all games, particularly since we will be facing the tougher part of our schedule.

Olliemets Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I'm being a realist. Not a test of my fanhood...I'll still watch and root for the team. But no longer building my entire weekend around these games. The injuries and the the way the team is playing are certainly a factor, and the optimist in me even cn see a chance at improvment. But no matter how well they play, the bell cannot be un rung. 3 Conference and 2 Division losses this early really hurts and cannot be undone. Being on the wrong end of tiebreakers is a very deep hole. It's too early to say Bills need a lot of help...but they need a lot of help from other teams from here on and it's only October 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, unfortunately for me the Super Bowl went out the window after Jax. I felt the same way last year with the injuries. Wish I didn't feel like that but it is what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Okay…The NYT Playoff simulator is up and gives us a 96% chance to make the playoffs with the following results. Wins - at Bengals - Broncos - Jets - at Chargers - Patriots Losses - at Eagles - at Chiefs - Cowboys - at Dolphins Dropping any of the games in the wins column drops our chances considerably. 9-8 doesn’t seem like it is going to cut it. We really need to get 5 more wins, and the AFC games are a lot more important than the 2 remaining NFC games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 All l can say is If the Bills miss, then Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott deserve it. There are players out there who can help this team win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 That’s right, bail at the first sign of turbulence. Every team has dips in performance during a 17 game season, especially after experiencing devastating injuries. The Bills are primed to play better after their mini bye. Their uptempo, no huddle offense will expose many defenses with the perfect QB for running it. Compare the incredible success Kelly had with it and put a more mobile, stronger armed QB at the helm. The defense needs a LB and another corner in the worst way. If we come out with a big defensive performance against Cinn, I dare any of you woe is me naysayers to doubt this team. Even if they lose that game, 10 and 7 is their worst case minimum record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about it if the Bills can’t get through that schedule does anyone really think they deserve to make the playoffs? I mean if we can’t beat any of those ‘elite’ teams in the regular season what makes anyone think we’re going to beat them in the playoffs? If you can’t, take your lumps in 2023 and then make some hard decisions for 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The bills will at least make the playoffs as the 7 seed. There are too many bad teams out there. The bills also have at least 2 more wins than the 9 teams behind them. Yes, the bills have a tough schedule but I’m sure a lot of the bad and mediocre teams do too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
