Battle for the Division: Bill and Pats remaining games poll.

[Lost]

Got to be an all time Billsy move to hand the division and probably the #1 seed to the Patriots on a year where neither the Chiefs or the Ravens were in contention for the top spot.   I'd like to thank everyone in the Bills organization for making that happen.  

[boyst]

right now we matchup too well against Phili to call that a loss. i tihnk we win it. i think we beat the Bucs. i think we fall to Houston - that's a staunch defense.

 

the patriots won't lose to both the Ravens and Bills, but could lose to 1. they may get the Yankees fear playing the Ravens and be scared of them but that doesn't mean they should lose. they could also suffer a slump because they peaked awful early and drop one to the the Jets or someone they shouldn't.

the fact that this is a real possibility just makes me so angry. How did the Pats rebound so quickly? 

The traditional NFL magic is top tier coach plus top tier QB.  Based on production, Maye is a top tier QB this season.  Vrabel might very well be a top tier coach.  It more common for a first year coach to make the super bowl for the first time than a ninth year coach (mostly because there many first year coaches, and not too many year nine coaches who never made the super bowl)

for the first 80 votes, the majority think the Bills will have one loss outside of the NE game. A slim majority expects the Patriots to beat the Bills.  The majority expects the Pats to lose one additional.  If the polls are correct. The Bills end 12-5, the Patriots end 14-3.  If the Bills beat the Patriots, both end up 13-4. Pretty big game. 

Added bonus.  The majority expects the division winner to be the AFC #1 seed.

Maye is having a great year, but weak schedule and defenses haven’t figured him out yet. New England may take the division, but I think it will be like the one year Miami won the AFCE w/ Chad Pennington on a miracle season. Then it went right back to being Tom Brady’s division the following year. The Bills got too complacent IMO 

[Dick_Cheney]

One of the most bleak polls I've ever seen on here lol. 

[SCBills]

Unless a DC somewhere soon figures out how to Jaden Daniels/CJ Stroud their potential MVP Drake Maye, I don’t see how we catch them after the Miami loss. 
 

Just inexcusable and utterly disgusting to lose that game given the ramifications in-division for the Division & potential 1 seed. 
 

Unless the Jets do us a solid, we’re likely looking at needing to finish 1 game up on NE, which as it stands, might require us to run the table to have a chance of happening.

Coaching 

And having one of the all time great offensive minds running your offense goes along way.

Fields blows. Garrett Wilson out 3-4 weeks with a knee injury. If the Pats stop Breece then how will the Jets score. If they win the turnover battle, then maybe they have a chance, but I think NE wins in a blowout.

They didn't hand anything , thru this point in the season the Patriots are the better team, better coached, better offense, better defense and special teams. 

And it helps when u're top 3 in the league in explosive plays , only behind the Rams and seahawks

[RobbRiddick]

I’d be genuinely shocked if the Bills catch them. The Bills could easily lose five of those games based on how they were in Miami. Of course if they play with the intensity they showed vs KC they could win them all.
 

Split the difference and you end up with 2.5 more losses. I’ll round it up to 3, then give them another loss against a team they absolutely should beat like the Jets or Browns. That’s 4 losses to leave them at 10-7 and a good chance of missing out on the playoffs

[rjbbills]

The Pats will win the rest of their games. They're playing consistent motivated football. I'm not sure what the Bills are doing. Jekyll and Hyde. Not seeing any motivated football except for the Chiefs game. But the Bills will watch some film.

There hasn’t been anything quick about it.  They haven’t won a playoff game since 2018.  This is year 6 of their post-Brady rebuild.  That’s an eternity in NFL years.

I don't see the Bills winning the division.  What's crazy is that the Cheatriots have become good again in a very short amount of time.  They tore it down and put it together again very quickly. 

 

Much easier on a Rookie QB Contract

I’m a Bills fan. A 6 year rebuild is a joke. It’s supposed to take 18

I just made a big pitcher of Kool Aid, anyone want some?

At this point it would be fun being the 7 seed. Beating the Colts, Pats, and then the real challenge @ BAL or KC.
