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

[Nihilarian]

The Colts are 8-2 and play Chiefs, Texans, Jags, Seahawks, 49ers, Jags, Texans. Indy could easily S*** the bed here as all games look tough.

Chiefs are 5-4 and brutal to play right now. Jags 5-4. 49ers are 6-4. Seahawks are 7-2. Houston has the #1 defense. 

 

Denver is 8-2 and play Chiefs, Commanders, Raiders, Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Chargers. I can see them losing 2- 3 of those...maybe. That Denver defense is for real and is #3 overall while leading in sacks. 

 

If Buffalo sweeps they end up 14-3. I hate to say it but if they continue to play poorly and keep getting injuries, 9 wins maybe, no playoffs?

Joe Brady gone to NY Giants

 

NE or Denver as either could get home field. I'm thinking/hoping Denver with that defense. REALITY CHECK 😢

The only games I'm somewhat confident the Bills will win are the Browns and Jets.  From what I've witnessed this season, they don't stand much chance against the Bucs, Eagles or Patriots.  I'll add the Bengals to that list, assuming Joe Burrow returns (and it's definitely looking that way).  The Steelers and Texans are equally inconsistent with some strengths and some big flaws.  I think it's fair to say we split them.

 

So unless the Bills make a 180 degree turnaround in pretty much everything they are doing, I think this season is headed towards an epic collapse.  My guess is a 9-8 finish with no playoffs.

The loss to Miami gives us 2 division losses. Pats have none. That alone makes it highly unlikely we can win the division.

If the season series is tied with the same regular season record, does it go to division record?

 

NE opponents left: Bengals,Jetsx2, Miami, Baltimore, Giants, Buffalo.

 

Bills opponents left: TB, Steelers, Bengals, Eagles, Jets,NE, Texans, and Browns.

We need to beat them and have NE slip up vs Jetsx2 & Miami. It does look like both teams will face a Burrow led Bengals team.

I think after last week, a case can be made for every remaining game as to how they could lose. I'm sure some of that just stems from the pessimism from the Dolphin game. But heck even the 2 games you can see us winning....the Browns have a solid defense. After what Miami's Walmart greeter defense did to us....that could be an ugly 20-16 type loss. And the Jets are somehow on a 2 game win streak. They could be playing for Glenn's job in the final week.

I think people are crazy going with 9-8 record. By having Allen, they will be better than that. Of course they will beat the Browns and Jets. And TB is a warm weather team going to a cold climate. Eagles might not have anything to play for.

I don't see a single game I'd bet the Bills on.  Jets maybe?  Who wins a game where both teams are running for the bus?  Queue up the Yakkety Sax!

I'll make a prediction. If we win out, we win the division. Because all that would mean is we beat the Patriots when we play them again and they lose one more along the way. Stay focused, win out. Division ours

The Eagles pretty much have the division locked up. They are 7-2 with the Cowboys at 3-5-1, the Commanders at 3-7 and the Giants at 2-8. But they will most likely still be playing for seeding. The Lions, Bears and Bucs are 6-3. The Seahawks and Rams are 7-2 and the Niners are 6-4. They will have something to play for when they come to Buffalo.

With their schedule, and the way they are playing, NE has to be considered the favorite to end up with the 1 seed.  As you point out, the other 2-loss teams have MUCH tougher schedules, and both look somewhat fraudulent.  NE seems to be getting better and gaining confidence.

Yes, have you seen the offense?

Yes. How many times has this offense and team gone through a run and strung together multiple game win streaks to end the year?

 

2020: Started 7-3 & won 6 straight to end the year to go 13-3 win the division and go to the AFC Championship game

 

2021: started 6-3, fell to 7-6 on the verge of missing the playoffs, won 4 straight to win the division and make the playoffs

 

2022: started 6-3 after the offense started spiraling backwards after back to back losses to the Jets and Vikings, won 7 straight to take the division and make the playoffs

 

2023: Started 5-5, Dorsey gets fired for the same issues, go to 6-6 on the outside looking in. Won 5 straight to won the division, and get the 2 seed in the playoffs

 

2024: started 3-2. Went through offensive woes, won 7 straight, finished 13-4, won division, went to AFC Championship game

 

Every single year, we have seemed to have the lulls and pull ourselves out of them at the right time. Don't see why it can't happen this year
