Do the Bills make the playoffs

[Lionel Hutz]

Bills could fall to 9th in the AFC with a loss to Pit next week and only ahead of the Chiefs based on head-to-head. 

 

That loss to the Texans was huge and based on the results today It is gonna be tough to make the playoffs.

[BuffaloBaumer]

Ouch, Buffalo is in big trouble

[Kirby Jackson]

This week was really bad for the Bills and the playoffs. I wonder what the change was in playoff percentage before this week and after?

[buffblue]

Just a disastrous week for the Bills. Not a single game went their way. Lose against Pittsburgh and we are in deep, deep trouble 

[Low Positive]

I thought it was a given, but it becomes dicey if they lose in Pittsburgh next week. If they beat the Steelers and Bengals, they should make it. But if they lose next week, the AFC South is likely to get three teams in. Crazy year. BTW, if McDermott doesn't get fired for not making the playoffs in a season with no Josh Allen injury, then he's going to coach in Buffalo until he's 80.

To be honest. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Colts flounder and end up the 4th seed. Then see Baltimore as the 3rd seed. I’d almost prefer being the 7th seed cause that would give us Denver (most likely) followed by patriots then afc championship. that would be a relatively “easy” path to the championship game. 
 

That obviously depends on if our offense can actually perform week-to-week. Or if we even make the playoffs because we have a tough schedule the rest of the way

If we don’t make playoffs, I think you have to fire McD and Beane. Although I don’t think Pegula will.

It was 87 percent (albeit after the loss to Houston) to 82 percent now. That is a significant hit in one afternoon of football. The NYT model has us back up at 92 percent with a win against Pittsburgh but down to 64 with a loss. Next week is close to a must win - we would likely drop to 9th with a loss

[Murdox]

The Jags victory today was painful, and, as others have mentioned, we have to beat the Steelers at home next week.  And the Steelers also need a victory badly.  It's not going to be easy with the way our team has been playing.  I'm not even sure if 4-2 the rest of the way will get us to the playoffs, but we at least need to do that to have a chance.

We are all a bit upset, hurt and confused with our team.

 

AFC East champs is quite a long shot now.

 

We are 3-4 on our last 7.  

 

The playoffs are not guaranteed if we keep playing inconsistent and going win-loss-win-loss

 

So public poll, do we make the playoffs or end up on the outside looking in

 

Well my other Tampa, Bills fan other than me, it depends on the Steelers, Pats, and Eagles.  I’m not overly worried about the others although I can also see us falling apart.  Brady is way too predictable and we can’t buy separation from our WRs.

Why would you want Denver? Their defense is on par with the Texans especially when Surtain comes back.

This is what I was just wondering. It likely will be good enough, but we may need to go 4-2 to ensure we get in. We already have a worse AFC record than all but Kansas City

The Bills are currently -800 to make the playoffs. Relax guys.

I do not see them beating the Steelers. TJ Watt is going to abuse whoever is supposed to block him. I think Josh will be running for his life again.

If we do it is likely going to be the same way a victory would've happened against the Texans - very, very ugly. At this point sign me up. We need a W in the worst way, especially given our struggles on the road

They had the third best odds to win the Super Bowl 4 days ago as well. They are now eighth. It means nothing.

[Lieutenant Aldo Raine]

Losing to Atlanta, Miami, and Houston unacceptable.  Just sad!

[Governor]

Getting swept by the Pats will likely finish us off. 

[SC STATE NUPE]

The Bills will win next week and will make the playoffs. We struggle against no name mid QBs! Rodgers will play, so McD will effectively game plan for him. If Mason was still playing, we’d probably lose!🤣
