This is almost too good to be true... the Bills have the roster to beat any of the other 6 playoff teams at this point. The big question as always in the playoffs is, is the coaching staff up to the challenge? 

 

After 9 years we all know the answer is NO.

Darn it. Us beating the Texans this week would help clear the path for Kansas City and Baltimore providing they both win.

The Chiefs have a tough game with the Colts. They are home so that helps but Indy is more than capable of going there and getting a win. The Ravens are home to the Jets. They will win and win easily.

I don't have faith the Colts can win on the road. They still seem like paper tigers to me. 

 

Now, Johnathan Taylor may get hot and carry them, but I don't see them beating the Chiefs in KC. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Of course, Jamar Chase suspended for the Pats game….

Looking at the Colts schedule, I think the AFC South winner could be around the 10-7 range.   Texans twice, Jags twice, Seahawks and Niners. 
 

If they lose to the Chiefs, I could see them spiral.

The one good thing is the Texans have a tie breaker over the Ravens, having beaten them already this season, if they finish with the same record.

If the Bills aren't going to win the division because New England just beats up on the bad teams then my hope is that the Bills are going into week 18 just completely locked into the 5 seed and they can get a pesudo bye to rest up before the playoffs. It's far too early to project that out. Just win on Thursday and get a win and a "mini-bye" and see where everything shakes out.

I hear you, BBG, but please know this, which honestly sometimes people sleep on.

 

 

 

 

They are 5-5 for a reason.

Worst case scenario is we go into Week 18 tied with NE and need to win, hope Miami beats them for the Division… which they won’t… so we’ll play our game as normal and then head to Baltimore WC Weekend.

KC will win out . Besides the colts game this week they have a favorable schedule. I’m not sold on the colts actually being good. Denver may have the division wrapped be Christmas with not much to play for and cowgirls are more bi-polar than 90% of us in this site. That leaves chargers, Texans and raiders

Oh fully agree. They are having some issues this year. But wouldn't not be so like them to turn it all around at the worst possible time and go on a long winning streak?

Absolutely.  They go on simply annoying runs in the second half of the year.  Here's hoping, and feeling, that this year is a little different.
