If we beat the Bengals, we’re winning the AFC

[Royale with Cheese]

We will have a section at Highmark to all watch the Super Bowl, put our differences aside and celebrate.

need to go week to week. cannot look ahead to any game

Actions define us. Go make it happen, dude.

I think if the Bills can take care of the Bengals they will at least very likely be a wildcard team. I can't see the Bills not beating the Browns and Jets in must situations to get to 11 wins. There is an outside shot 11 wins does not get you in but I think it will. I think the Chargers will fall off or if the Texans lose to the Chiefs that puts them at zero margin of error. Either way I can't get wrapped up in how the rest of the conference is just win against Cincy and get to 9 wins.

So you need the Pats to lose 3 of their last 4 games for this to happen?? I am assuming you also need the Bills to win in 2 weeks right? While very possible IMO very unlikely. I could see them going 2-2 though. 

No I need Bills to win out and Pats lose one additional divisional game. I think both are realistic.

 

I am a Bills fan and an optimist though

That's for players and coaches. Fans can look ahead whatever they like

Yeah but do you see their defense being able to stop the Bills offense? Especially without Hendrickson?

What is gonna stop the Bills offense against the Bengals?  The Bills offense, of course. 

 

Can we pound the run over and over again and keep up with what the Bengals might be able to score?

The Division race is over.  No use in stressing over it.  New England has it wrapped up.  They are all setup, barring major injuries to be the 1 seed and get essentially two weeks off to get ready for the divisional round.  Will be interesting if they do get the 1 seed and KC sneaks in as the 7 and wins their wild card game.

The Bills season is not over if they lose to Cincinnati (especially if the Texans also lose).   Even the Bengals season is not over if they lose to Buffalo.  They would need to run the table after that and get some reasonable help.

I wanted to hear you out… but had to stop right there.  The Bengals are absolutely NOT the toughest game left on the schedule.   It will be a tough game, mostly

because we get them after a 10day rest which gives Burrow more time to get back in a rhythm. 
 

But the Patriots are absolutely a better team than the Bengals… AND we get them after their bye week!  And in Foxboro.  The schedule makers did us no favors with this little stretch!

 

Oh yeah.. and we get to play the Eagles still.    
 

so… sorry.. I stopped reading your post at the start of the 2nd paragraph.  Any conclusions drawn on the assumptions that next week is the toughest team/game we have left are flawed conclusions. 

You're right, I didn't phrased it correctly. I do agree the Patriots are the toughest game remaining.

 

But maybe I am weird, but I have absolutely no doubt that we will win there. We are not getting swept by divisional rival. Both McD and Allen are too good for that.

 

So that is a win in my book. Bengals I am less sure of, so that is the game I fear most when thinking about winning out.
