Can the Bills win out?

[st pete gogolak]

As much as a bunch of people despise aspects of Brady’s offense (me included), it is built to win in cold weather, bad weather. Just so happens that each of the last five games will potentially be bad and/or cold weather games. I doubt that the run the table but, yeah it’s possible.

[QCity]

Every single team in the league can win out. The question is will they and the answer is no.

[dpberr]

Yes.

 

All of the games are outside, potentially in bad weather.  I think the Bills are the best bad weather team in the AFC.  

 

Three of the games are at home.  

 

The road games aren't far.

They could, i’m not sure it gets first anymore but it would go a long ways towards a Super Bowl.

Is New England some unbeatable team now? The Bills lost by 3 to them in a game where everything went wrong.

 

Nah. They won 9 games in a row.  I respect it but there's no way this NE team will win all the games they are supposed to win.  I think the Giants have a good shot for the upset tonight.  I'll bet on them +7.5.   They've lost some heartbreakers at the end of games and kind of due for something to go well.

My thoughts are the same as they've always been. The same as they were when I responded to you after the Bucs game. This is not a Championship team. The win was fun, as was the Bucs game.

 

But it's the same story as it's always been all season. The same story I said after the Bucs game. If we can overcome teams keying in on trying to stop James Cook and through sheer will and skill force it to work regardless of that - we're in good shape. As we were today, as we were against teams like Tampa Bay and Carolina. 

 

But when we can't do that - we're f-cked. It's over. Doesn't matter who the team is. It could be the Falcons, Dolphins, or Jets. Stop the run and it's game over. And against the best teams, the Eagles and Patriots of the world - it's unlikely we're going to be able to do what we did today. 

 

So, no, I do not think we can win out. Enjoyed the win today, as I do any win. But that doesn't mean we're going 5-0 and can win a title.

There is not an AFC team without at least one glaring weakness. IDK why people think these other teams are so much better than the Bills. 
 

The Broncos, Jags, Colts, and Chargers are the best the AFC has to offer. The Bills could beat all of them. Actually, I am more worried about about the crappy fringe teams than the actual contenders who Buffalo has been winning against consistently.
 

You’re entitled to your opinion obv, but mine is the AFC is full of “very good” teams, but I don’t see anyone one juggernaut like the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Bengals of the early 2020s. The NFC is the better conference by a mile.

 

I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that the Bills can catch fire especially after getting the horrible month of November out of the way.

Desire/Heart is the unseen common denomanator in all mathimatical equations. You cannot put the will to win in any equation. 

Sure you can. In this case, I assume equal will, and still give the Bills a 90% win rate in each game.  

[Rockinon]

What gives me hope is the defense is starting to look legit. I've seen some better play from the secondary. Yesterday, the run defense held up pretty good. Nice to see some turnovers in our favor too.

 

I personally think a Josh Allen lead offense will get the job done but how deep into the playoffs we go, it's going to come down to defense. Fingers crossed.

I feel the same way about a possible upset tonight. The Giants have blown 4 or 5 games this season in the 4th quarter. They were leading the Broncos in Denver 26-8 in the 4th quarter before losing. They were also leading at Detroit and Chicago in the 4th quarter before losing. The problem here is finishing games. I could see the Giants being in a position in the 4th quarter to win this game. If they are then maybe they can finally win one instead of losing it for a change.

I said after the Texans game 5-1 now 4-1

[BuffaloRebound]

Not sure how much it has to do with Bernard being out, but the defense the last 6 quarters has been dominant.  Cincy will be a much bigger challenge, but the defebse is trending in the right direction.

Milano is playing a lot better too very recently and Shaq Thompson is available now. It’s tangentially related to Bernard being out but I don’t think it’s all an ‘addition by subtraction’ type thing with him 

 

Milano always seems straight up awful after coming back from injury then he goes on an absolute tear months later haha 

[ngbills]

Could win out or lose every game. Just how this season is going.

Milano and Poyer have been pretty solid lately IMO 

Not sure about Milano--did you see something I didn't?--but I agree Poyer has been solid. He can long chase down anyone if he takes a bad angle or is out of position, but he's seldom either, at least the last few games. Good signing by Beane, who has been criticized for dumpster diving. White was solid yesterday, too. But let's see how they do against Burrow and Chase next week before we look into playoff tickets.

These are the kind of deep, analytical Bills takes I expect from the Facebook Bills Mafia groups 😂

You’re so kind, I deeply appreciate you considered thoughts,  lol

Bills will not run all over the Patriots.....because Allen will be too busy putting up 400 yards of passing, 4 TD's, no picks, and a near perfect QB rating. I feel like the Bills are going to go into that game with revenge on their minds. Taking no prisoners. Feels like Allen has rarely had any "off" games in that stadium.

 

Eagles are the only potential loss left on the schedule. But it's at home. And they are collapsing.

 

So yes....5-0 to finish. Of course, if NE only loses to Baltimore and us, they still win the division. We need them to lose to Mismi or the Jets. 

 

But...postseason for the 7th straight year is all but in the bag.

Bills would never, but outside the box thinking this offseason would be trading Dawkins for a 2nd, clear out a chunk of cap space to spend and bring back Van Demark as an RFA to play LT.  

That's a very intriguing idea SC.  Do you really think we could get a 2nd for Dawkins at this point in his career?  If so, I would do it in a heartbeat.  Resign Van De Mark and maybe bring in someone (a rookie or lower price vet) to compete with him for the starters job.  I think Kromer is our best coach on the roster hands down.  He really gets the most out of each of our O linemen.  Starters or backups.

Agree. I think they drop tonight’s game. Dart has shown immense capability to rally his team. 
 

Their defense just needs to make stops. 
 

Think they run all over them but can’t make the most of their RZ trips. 26-19 Giants

How every year under McD is. But I’ll stay mildly optimistic that this is the year with all the other big hitters faltering
