Bleeding Bills Blue Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 23 minutes ago, Chaos said: Work your simulator magic, to show how the Bills get into the playoffs ahead of all of the Browns, Broncos, Steelers, Colts and Titans. If the Dolphins finish 12-5 and or better, 11-6 Bills will lose tiebreakers in almost every scenario. Show a realistic scenario, where the Dolphins are 12-5, The Bills 11-6, and the Bills get in as a wildcard. Otherwise you are posting out of your hat. Browns are 7-4, and to get to 11-6 would require 4-2 against this schedule - LAR, Jax, Chicago, Houston, NYJ, Cincy - Possible but... they don't have a QB so its hard to say. Steelers are 7-4 and to get to 11-6 would rerquire 4-2 against this schedule - zona, NE, Indy, Cincy, Seattle, Baltimore (might be resting starters but i doubt they let KC get home field if buffalo gives KC a 4th loss). Indianapolis is 6-5 and would need to go 5-1 to get to 11-6 against this schedule - Tenn, Cincy, Pitt, atlanta, Vegas, Houston Houston is 6-5 and would need to 5-1 to get to 11-6 against this schedule - Denver, NYJ, Tenn, Cleveland, Tenn, Indy Denver is 6-5 and would need to go 5-1 to get to 11-6 against this schedule - Houston, LAC, Detroit, NE, LAC, LV As bad as every like bad team is - theres no way all 5 of them don't drop a game to Chicago, Tennessee, LA chargers, Jets or NE, etc. These are all flawed teams as much as buffalo, and in many cases much more than buffalo. It'd take an epic stroke of bad luck to win out and miss the playoffs - but i think they can win 4 and still miss. I'll say this - i don't think any of those 5 teams wins 11 games, and i doubt buffalo does either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman10 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) We are not making the playoffs. Even if we do, we are certainly not winning a Super Bowl. Let's chalk it up to being a learning year and be ready for next year with Milano back, etc.. Edited November 27, 2023 by Gman10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year is different but Miami got in @ 9-8 last year with a conference record of 7-5. 10-7 might get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not winning the super bowl is what 31 other teams will be doing but being there is still impressive even if you lose Edited November 27, 2023 by motorj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show a realistic scenario, where the Dolphins are 12-5, The Bills 11-6, and the Bills get in as a wildcard. Otherwise you are posting out of your hat. Steelers lose to Ravens, and Seahawks. They finish 11-6. They grab a wild card spot. Colts lose to the Raiders, Steelers and the Texans. They finish 9-8. Browns lose to the Jags, Rams and Texans. They finish 10-7 (I think they will actually lose more than this). Texans lose to the Broncos. They finish 11-6. They snag a wild card spot. Broncos lose to the Lions and split with the Chargers. They finish 10-7. — Bills get the third wild card in this scenario at 11-6, and there aren’t any major upsets. At 10-7 we miss on tie breakers to the Browns and Broncos think, but I think the Browns are going to finish worse than 10-7 and the Broncos could easily drop another game (like vs Texans).

Those games never should have come down to the wire. The offense held a combined lead in those games of 4 minutes. As in they trailed absolute trash teams all game and woke up for one scoring drive in the waning minutes of the game. Josh Allen and the offense pissed away 6 quarters of football with turnovers and horrendous play creating the conditions for their heroic comebacks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Brady and Manning make careers on terrible play for the 3 quarters followed by one competent scoring drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBF81 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Which would be more heart wrenching? Going 4-1 or 5-0 and losing agian in the wild-card or divisional rounds, or missing out. Asking rhetorically, but who has any faith that even if we made it, that we'd do anything more. This "making the playoffs" thing, just like in the 90s, has gotten old. We have one of the best QBs in the game, the bar is significantly higher. Edited November 27, 2023 by PBF81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianb386 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 After playing with the ESPN playoff machine, I think we need to win out in order to get in. I also think it is highly unlikely that we beat both the Chiefs and the Cowboys in consecutive weeks, but if we do win out, I think we take the division as we would sweep the Dolphins who I believe will lose to the Cowboys and the Ravens (and then us).
