Do you see this team going 6-1 or 5-2?

It's not happening against the teams we have remaining.

They should just shut Allen down for the year. Maybe this off season he won’t golf, eat and date. Maybe this off season he’ll work on his craft. 

[boyst]

we won't win 3 more games.

 

New England, New Jersey aren't gimmies. the Chargers or Dolphins are a coin toss but it'll be hard to win both of those road games.

 

KC, Phili, and Dallas we would be lucky and Billsy to win 1 of the 3. We could beat KC if it's any of them.

 

We will likely draft top 20 (we are 17th now).

yes, that was the title play

from the article:

As things stand, the model has the Bills as just on the outside-looking-in for the final wild card. However, the Steelers are a virtual toss-up and while the Texans have favorable odds, they are still a team with plenty of questions despite a recent surge powered by C.J. Stroud.

The biggest thing working against the Bills right now is the head-to-head loss to the Bengals. Should those two end the season tied, Cincinnati would get the spot ahead of Buffalo because of the Week 9 "Sunday Night Football" win. However, the Bills will have a chance to put a full game between them and Cincinnati after the Bengals fell to Houston on Sunday.

And, of course, there's still the matter of the AFC East. The Dolphins have yet to collect a win against a team with a winning record, and they will end the year with a home game against the Cowboys, a road game in Baltimore and a home game against the Bills. While the schedule is favorable until then, Buffalo still has a chance to stay in the divisional hunt and potentially catch up to Miami if the Dolphins struggle at any point in the coming weeks.

totally with you. we need to lock him up and take away his freedom to appease our ridiculous passion about grown men performing entertainment for us.

DraftKings has us at 30/1 to win SB.  Vegas doesn't agree with the pessimism generally seen here.  same odds as Cleveland

I said what I said. 
 

see, they all talk a big game about wanting a Super Bowl “for the city”… when rubber meets road, they secure the bag and falter. 
 

hypocrisy. 
 

 

[Donuts and Doritos]

Jets D up next

At Philly

Bye (can't loose)

At Chiefs

Dallas

At LA Chargers 

Pats (already beat us once)

At Miami

 

Yeah, I see 5 or 6 wins in there, piece of cake. 🙄

[Rew]

Winning the division is still a better path than wild card.  Stay one game behind Miami and beat them to get in.  Many paths to wild card, but the AFC losses make it a harder road.

No doubt it's put up or shut up time.  I think they could get hot and do it....

I'm trying to be positive.

I don't see it. Would love to be wrong, but they've given me nothing to believe they can do it.

Potential doesn't mean ***** in pro sports.

[TFBillsfan]

Playoffs is a pipe dream at this point. Bills will have to go 5-2 which isn’t happening. In addition they have 5 divisional losses. We are dang fortunate we didn’t lose to the NYG and if TB sees the Hail Mary we’d be 3-6! That’s pathetic! 
 

We are now playing for the 2024 draft spot which based upon Beane’s history there is no guarantee it will be an impactful player.

 

McDermott’s tenure in Buffalo should be over. Under his leadership this team continues to find new ways to lose. They are unprepared, undisciplined, unfocused and outschemed far too often. 
 

Just sad all around!

the light is dimming every week on potential.

 

just like in life - when i was young i had potential to be legendary. now i'm balding, 40something, a bad back and a smoking hot wife.

 

Edit @Joe Ferguson forever we draft 17th now i meant, if it wasn't clear.

No. Send him back to his off season coach that improved him to the player we THOUGHT he was

[unclepete]

Playoffs not happening. Philly and Dallas will be blowouts.  Miami and the chargers will be Ls. Possibly losses to the jets and pats.

Vegas had us favored to beat the broncos, jets and pats each by over 7 points. What does Vegas know?

It is sad. I like McDermott, he deserves a ton of credit for helping to build this team, but he just keeps finding ways to lose winnable games. I’m not sure I see a win the rest of the year the way the entire team is playing. 
 

if they finish 5-12 he absolutely should be fired

[FTLBillsfan]

If the Bills continue to play the way they have played the past 6 weeks, I am beginning to think they wont even finish with a winning record.

NY Jets - Their offense sucks, but there defense is strong -toss up.

Philadelphia- Pretty strong on both sides of the ball- would take a miracle to beat them. - loss

KC- Mahomes is pretty much back to form and their defense is strong. The Denver loss was a fluke because Mahomes was sick.  loss

Dallas- That defense is strong and the offense is getting better - Loss

L.A. Chargers. Road game against a team that can put up points, but can falter like the Bills have been doing - toss-up

N.E- Good defense, may be able to force enough turnovers to stay in it but their offense really sucks. - win

MIA- We all know what their offense can do. They should have the AFCE locked up by then. Since the Bills will most likely be eliminated from playoff contention by then this may be a meaningless game for both teams unless Miami is playing for playoff seeding. Either way the revenge factor comes in -loss.

I see 1 win, 2 toss ups and 4 losses. Worst case scenario 6-11 most likely 7-10-9-8

Unless they find a cure for whatever they got in London I just don't see much hope for playoffs.

[CEN-CAL17]

Honestly we should be surprised this team has 5 wins… no way we make the playoffs. Not with the schedule remaining. 
 

I hate to say it, but I saw this coming last year. These coaches and this scheme are just not the answer, and meanwhile they have got better and every team has us figured out.

 

Pegula needs to step in and fire McDermott, it probably won’t happen this week, but it should before the bye week 

[Gregg]

Any chance we can lose enough to have a shot at Marvin Harrison Jr. He would be a great #2 with Diggs. He might even make Diggs the #2. I am already thinking about the 2024 draft since this season is RIP.

I think there are 2 wins on the schedule.  Maybe 3.  I think 1-6 is much more likely than 5-2

 

They beat the Patriots and steal one vs one of the hard teams.  

 

The Jets game they have a decent chance to win too (like >40%)

 

Thats it.

[RiotAct]

Stop.  Just stop.

[MAJBobby]

Need to win 6 of 7 and that loss can reslly

only go to a NFC team. 
 

you do that 11 wins and you get in playoffs 

[DapperCam]

Is 7-10 good enough to make the playoffs? Because that is what our record is going to be.

[CircleTheWagons99]

I mean anything can happen, but I highly doubt the Bills win the games they need to win to make it......Dont know how most people feel but Im mentally checked out...

Gotta win the 3 division games... and at least 2 of the other 4, probably 3. 

[Heels20X6]

It's hard to believe this is the same football team that absolutely TROUNCED Miami and had every analyst saying "The Bills made a STATEMENT that they are gunning for the Superbowl!" to what this team is today - "They just need some luck to be a first round loss in the playoffs"...

 

I get losing Milano and Tre hurt the defense...but WTF happened to the offense from that game onwards?!?

[Success]

I'm sure I'll be back on board & doing the math if we beat the Jets.

 

The schedule looks brutal, but this team is weird.  It wouldn't surprise me to see them beat the Eagles by 2 scores, then lose to the Chargers.

We lost to the Jets, Patriots, and Broncos and should have lost to the Giants and Buccaneer's.  2 of those teams will be drafting top 5.  There is no way this team is capable of winning 5 of their remaining 7 games with the coaching staff that we have.
