Yes, that was kind of my point. Just winning over the Jets and getting to 6-5 does nothing for getting "back in." So the answer to the OP's question would be "no." If, however, the Bills do something spectacular against the Jets (which they have not done recently and is highly unlikely) then there would be reason for some optimism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPJax Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Open your eyes to the big picture. A win over the jets means nothing with the tough schedule ahead. This is not a SB, NOR playoff game winning offense and the d is too injured to stop playmakers late. Don’t be delusional. They are losing now to the worst in the nfl. Same pats qb that got benched AGAIN. Put up 29 on us with a game winning drive. Outside Diggs /Kincaid, who puts fear in defense ; josh doesn’t leading league for years in turnovers. Good teams will destroy this team this year, sorry to be honest. Coaching change may save next year but its looking like2025 is hope with new staff.

Doc Brown Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 They'd have to beat the Jets and Eagles. A win in Philly would show me they at least have a shot against the Chiefs and Cowboys. I could talk myself into 3-2 after that and hope Miami stumbles so it's a winner takes the division in week 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Nope. Season is over. I will still be here rooting for the team every week but baring a Miami collapse that allows the Bills to steal the division it’s over. If by some miracle the Bills make the playoffs I would have no confidence they are anything but playoff fodder this year. McD had his window and blew it. Time for change.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Consulting my old favourite PlayoffStatus.com shows this loss completely removed the Bills from being able to determine their post season chances. Every seeding possibility now relies on other teams helping out Buffalo's chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 No. This was the easy part of the schedule and we are 5-5. Are you going to tell me that the Bills are going to go out and win five out of: NY Jets (who haven't died and Allen has historically struggled against) @Phildelphia (9-1) @KC (8-2) Dallas Chargers Pats @Miami with Miami having something to play for And even if we manage to squeak in with 9 wins, this team isn't going on a run. Burn it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman10 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Like everyone else is saying, we can't beat the Broncos at home. A win over the Jets does nothing.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) They’d have to run the table or go 6-1. Schedule and injuries make that impossible. Stick a fork in them.

All_Pro_Bills Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) This team has no identity and should be 8-2 going into the tough stretch. Losing to the Jets, Patriots, and again last night for a team with Championship aspirations is ridiculous. With 3 division games left along with the Eagle, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Chargers I don't see any path to 10 wins and a 6 or 7 seed. And sneaking into the division title by Miami faltering? Their next 4 games are Raiders, Jets, Commanders, and Titans. Don't count on that happening.

HalftimeAdjustment Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Back in where? I am going to watch the games even though I see a 9-8 or 8-9 season. I watched when they were 3-13, why not now? Doesn't change the fact they are not playing up to their talent and are probably going to end up out of the playoffs.

dgrochester55 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Had they won yesterday and then beaten the Jets, I may have had a sliver of hope. Not now. The regime needs to go. They lost a game because of a penalty that a pop warner team should not make. There is no "well they shouldn't have been in the position to begin with" or "It takes more than one play to blow a game" this time. Buffalo literally is walking off the field 6-4 if they execute a special teams play in a manner that any team at any age level no matter how bad they are is capable of doing. Between that and the reaction of the players after the game, it is clear that McDermott has lost the players. We are now the laughing stock of the league again. Enough is enough. I'll take a 5-12 season if it means a mini rebuild and getting someone in that can make the most of out talent.

But realistically, this team is done. No clue what's wrong with the offense. I mentioned it last week, and I still believe it, but I legit think Allen is not himself (personally, not as a qb). I think he may have off the field stuff running through his mind (breakup, personal matters etc) and it's completely effecting his play. Call me crazy, but he is not the same this season.

T master Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I didn't watch the entire game last night because after seeing the way the offense was playing in the first quarter i just knew this would be another one in the L column some way . It baffles me how a team that was blowing every one out last season with the upgrades to the offense that they have can be this inept just amazes me . Although it's very hard to say I think i have lost faith in the Bills this year & i'm tired of hearing how they are running out of time to fix the problem . The run game was working from what little i saw last night & the way they used Gabe in the Tampa game worked but they don't stick with what works & then there's Josh . Not sure what he has done but what ever it is it's not good maybe he needs to go back with his ex ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 NOT EVEN CLOSE! We would need to take on the Eagles and KC also for me to have any glimps of hope for the season.
