steven50 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) I know its all doom and gloom but I'm gonna try a little glass half full post. One of the roads to the playoffs is through winning the AFC east, wild card might be out of the picture now. If we beat the Jets, Fins Pats, and chargers we would finish the season at 9-8 I can see Miami losing to: Cowboys, Ravens, Bills maybe raiders and or titans (and splitting with Jets) which would finish them at 9 -8 (although if they split with the Jets AND lose to the raiders/titans that would be 8-8) We win Tie Breaker if both finish 9-8. Playoffs. What do you think are the odds? Edited November 22, 2023 by steven50 2 1 1 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Applicable Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I'm not even sure I want to watch this current iteration of the Bills go to the postseason again.

Success Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I think 10-7 is still on the menu for the Bills. Our losses, while they are to bad teams, are all close. We're not getting blown out by anyone. I don't buy the conventional wisdom that the Eagles & Chiefs are both automatic losses. I think we match up okay w/ Philly, and the Chiefs are beatable this year. I'd give us one of those. I see our 2nd loss as probably the Chargers. Away, and the west coast trip is always a bit tough. 3rd potential loss against the Phins. But I can see us entering that game w/ a chance at the division. Maybe I'm discounting Dallas, but I like our chances in that one at home - since it's not a night game. 2 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorquemada Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 gah this is so reminiscent of the drought years when we had to go to advanced calculus starting in late october to find a path to the playoffs. Let's go on and prepare ourselves mentally to be fully out of the playoff picture next week. Once they lose to the Jets, i'm sure they'll pull one out of their azzes against one of the good teams we have on the schedule, and maybe 1 or 2 more just to move us out of contention for a difference making WR in the draft but this is a bad team with a bad coach, an old, slow and broken D, special teams that define the word 'special', and a QB that needs some serious counseling 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the Bills can beat them!? Anything is *possible*, but it’s not realistic. I think they win 3 more games, at the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ok you got me on a technicality. They have a non-zero chance at the playoffs. I also have a non-zero chance of winning powerball The reason why people are clowning on this is because the Bills arent going on some miraculous winning streak. they aren't built that way, and the team leaders are all sulking instead of demanding accountability from each other and the organization.

BuffaloBaumer Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Just sold all my tickets to the Jets game and as soon as that one is over, we can start thinking about the draft. This team does not have one strength, and right now, that includes Allen. I have a bad feeling we will never see the type of play from him that we saw in 2021. We had our chance and now, it's time to build a stronger team around him. 17 can no longer carry a team like he did in the past and the sooner people realize that, the easier it will be on expectations for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We can only hope Tua gets hurt like last year and MIA stumbles. They lose to us, DAL, BAL and we still need to get to 11-6. Which means we can only lose one of the KC, PHI, DAL, LAC games and have to win NYJ, NE, MIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
