Exuberant and negative at the same time! Drugs must be working…

Exuberant, exorbitant, whatever you prefer

Also, while they may be exuberant, I think you meant “exorbitant.”

Yes and yes. They are quite exuberant and exorbitant in number. Lol.

You seem back, bro. Is your optimism up?

 

It is indeed.  

 

Watching the NFL today - we're pretty much as good as anyone. It's just an inconsistent league, with no real stand-outs.

Yep.

 

This is why those losses to the Jets and Patriots are so disappointing.

 

We could be #1 in the AFC right now, if we simply beat two teams that are much worse than us.

Are they? They beat us..

Unfortunately the better team doesn’t always win.

 

Ask the 2007 Patriots.

[Joe Ferguson]

Bills ain't going 7-4

[Bangarang]

Sure, we theoretically could be. I don’t see it happening.

[DapperCam]

More realistically the Bills are 7-5 and the Chiefs are 9-3 when we enter arrowhead.

 

If we could steal the Eagles game we could be 8-4 and the game could be for #1 seed in the AFC. We would both be 9-4 after that if Bills got the upset. Tall order for a team that lost to the Pats.

What I learned today:

 

Browns, Steelers, and Houston are better than we are.

Chiefs aren't losing at home coming off a bye to the Eagles. Forget the Raiders. They'll be 9-2

Kelce been in Argentina and traveling the world with his weirdo girlfriend.  Mahomes wife is trying to hook up one of Taylor's friends with a player. Saw some bull#### that mahomes wife is trying to pretend KC is some cool place to be for these attention whores.

People keep saying this here, but the two Super Bowl teams from last season are a combined 15-3 and alone in first place in their respective conferences even though neither seem to be playing to their full potential yet.

Id like to play the browns. That matchup would be amazing. They're designed in a way that'd beat us. Most of the AFCN is. Pittsburgh could beat us with their aggressive pass defense. Houston would be a Bengals type game.

5-3 finish with losses to chiefs, cowboys, and eagles and we are 90+% to make the playoffs 

If we win one of those 3 games and lose to the dolphins we’re still more likely than not to make it

Today was a great day for the Chiefs.

 

The Jags ran into an angry buzz saw.  That’s 2 home losses against elite teams.  
 

If we don’t win the division and somehow get a WC I want them in RD 1

oh Gawd, the Jags are probably the team I’d want to face LEAST in the AFC playoffs.  It’s always a house of horrors when we play them.

Even if true the Steelers ravens and browns still play eachother multiple times it’s really tough for 3 playoff teams to come out of one division.

Ravens schedule is brutal too so they could fall off…really anything could happen. There’s three afc north division games in the next two weeks 

 

Personally I don’t think the browns or Steelers are any better than us.  Texans maybe they’re a complete unknown

NYT model has Bills only having a 36% of making the playoffs right now and only a 45% chance of making the playoffs if we win our next two games.  Yikes.  I didn't realize we were in this much trouble.  We probably have to go 6-2 for a Wild Card.  Our best hope might be the Dolphins stumbling down the stretch and us beating them the last week to get in as the 4 seed.

That's kind of surprising.  Would think our chances at 7-4 would be a lot better than that.

 

The AFC is pretty stacked this year.  The focus for this team has to be the division.   Miami's schedule is close to as tough as ours - really have to keep pace w/ them until that final game, and then see how it goes.

 

[Big Blitz]

Also the Texans might only have 3 more losses on that schedule.

Fins schedule is much easier as they already played the Eagles and Chiefs.  Miami's next five are the Raiders, Jets, Commanders, Titans, and Jets again.  They'll probably be 10-4 or 11-3 before they play the Cowboys, Ravens, and us.  The Jets and Pats losses really put this team's back against the wall.  Let's hope they respond.  

[Dr.Sack]

The path has always been through winning the division. Keep pace with Miami and have a play in game week 18.

I can see the jets sweeping them with their defense. That team is playing scrappy I hate to say

It would be hilarious to see Motor run roughshod over McDummy's defense.

Could be tied or whatever and we end up losing on Monday Night.

 

Forget being tied for 1st. The team itself needs to acknowledge their weaknesses and over compensate for that.

 

Just win.

Chiefs are so overrated . There's no powerhouse in AFC or the NFC for that matter. Thought SF at 1st, then Baltimore.  Week to week league. Just win this week

You have a thread?  

[CSBill]

This thread reminds me of the "We Could Go Undefeated the Rest of the Season" thread after the Dolphins game. I warned you then, and I will warn you again. When will you youngsters learn? These are the Buffalo Bills. Keep your over-enthusiastic threads to yourself. Save them for the day we win the Super Bowl. Such threads jinx us every time.

 

MODS, please remove this. Tonight is too big of a game to allow such foolish behavior to go unchecked. Please!

I’m not worried about the bills. AFC teams will beat other AFC teams and you’ll see teams like the Steelers Browns and Texans take a hit

You should be.  Kc Philly Dallas chargers and Miami can score points. If our offense does not get back on track we are in for a long second half of season.

Even at 25% of their ability they would be far and beyond a lot in the afc

Doubt they get a WC as they have to many conference losses. Best hope is to win the division.

I am really sick of that franchise. They are NOT playing like a 6-3 team.  They should be 3-6 it's a joke.
