Division is out at this point…have to do it as a wildcard

[Billsfed1]

Depending on where the Bills finish they’ll have to win 2 games minimum on the road to advance to the Super Bowl.

 

Seeing as Josh does not yet possess a road win in the playoffs, this seems apropos.

Josh possessed a road win.

 

But then he got McDermotted.

Well, silver lining is if we clinch a WC spot early but can’t win the division, maybe we rest guys so that we aren’t the 5 seed lined up to play the Ravens.  Would rather play one of the other division winners in Round 1, and then if we won as the 6 or 7 seed, we’d likely then play whomever the 1 seed is.

It makes no difference anyways.  Home or away they have consistently been eliminated six straight seasons.  The positives are that the schedule should be easier and New England will have to play more division winners next year.  That will be fun.

The Bills need to win out. Simple as that. But that might not be enough. NE could afford two more losses in that scenario. If said losses do not involve the Jets & Phins, they win the East. That loss to Miami was a killer.

 

I'd rather burn out early, see big changes, and move forward. I don't want to see them sneak in, go one and done, and give the owner any reason to bring the gang back.

They aren't winning a road playoff game.  Not under McD.  0-5 will soon be 0-6.

[Dafan]

If Pats lose this weekend...division is still on the table.  They beat the Bengals...would be a miracle for Bills to take it with NE's remaining schedule.

All good things must come to an end

You're absolutely kidding yourself if you think this team can advance to the Super Bowl. This is not a Super Bowl roster on either side of the ball, specifically on Defense. We're dropping to teams like the Falcons, Dolphins, and now a Davis Mills led Texans. 

 

The Defense can't stop anyone. And the Offense isn't built to play from behind. On top of all of that, we can't stay healthy, the coaching is atrocious, and teams have the blueprint to disect both sides of the ball.

 

We may get in as a Wild Card. But against the best teams in the AFC, we have no shot. Let alone going on a 3 game winning streak against the best teams in the AFC.

Think of Drake Maye as Josh Allen.

Cuz the Patriots won't lose a few games they supposed to win?

And common thread in those losses? Allen had looked below average in all of them and yet if he plays average we might win at least two of them.

[Dafan]

If NE wins over Cincinnati...I'll pretty much concede the division.  But until then...Bills baby!

[Bferra13]

They look like ass on the road in the regular season. They aint winning crap on the road in the playoffs. This is a fundamentally flawed team to begin with that has critical long term injuries at key positions. Milano and Johnson are cooked as well. Rousseau, what a nitemare. Add in our strong spot, the o line, has big time problems too. Terrible. Beane has failed them.

why should we even watch then? why re you posting at 1am instead of sleeping. We're all frustrated, but, unlike with the abortion called the Sabres, there's always hope with the Bills 

[TheBrownBear]

Things looked pretty dire in 2021 and 2023, but we still somehow won the division, so I can't write us off completely.  But, IDK, this year just feels different. I don't think we have the talent to get it done.

[Buffalo Ballin]

Yes, Houston Texans is not to be feared.

 

They have the number one defense, but it's a not an historic one like the 1986 Chicago Bears, 2000 Ravens, 2004 Buccaneers, Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks' Legion of Boom, Brady's Patriots, Mahomes' Chiefs, recent Eagles defense.

 

C'mon, Houston Texans is not on that level and, tonight, they showed they can be beaten. We came close tonight.

The o-line got whooped tonight, but they were up against it and Brady did them no favors. I think they are fine in the short-to-mid term. The problem is the offensive scheme and the pathetic receiving corps.

 

The D is a big issue with tons of holes to fill. Hairston and Bishop are promising playmakers.  Walker might turn into something and Oliver is good when healthy, but we otherwise need replacements at safety, both ends (assuming Bosa walks), both linebacker slots, nickel corner and another starting caliber corner to push Benford.

I hope they don’t even get in the playoffs honestly.  They have zero chance to win it all

It’s way different.  This team is severely flawed on both sides of the ball

Agreed, #1 seed dream is totally dead. Division is on life support, and the Pats need to lose this weekend to keep it alive.

[US Egg]

If Wildcard is what it takes to be in the playoffs, that fine by me.
