What's YOUR Honest Playoff Bracket?

Yes they are 8 and 4 but with how inconsistent I see them going 2-3 to finish the season. With losses to the Bengals, Pata and Eagles. At that point for the Bills to make it depends on how other games go.  The 2 teams that matter the most for the Bills to make it is the Chargers and the Texans. 

 

I don't see a McD team with a healthy Josh Allen and James Cook going 2-3 to close out the season, but as you've noted, their inconsistency does not slam the door on that possibility. And the matchups against Cinci, New England, and Philly are all potentially dicey. 

 

We've been worse off at this point in previous years ('21 and '23) and still closed out the regular seasons strong (a McD team trait), one time fielding (in '21) the best consecutive passing offense performances in playoff history, I think? That 2021 team was offensive shite at this point in the season, and then lost again but at least woke up in the 2nd half of that 6th and final loss to Tampa. So there is precedent for the Bills and Allen to lock in from here out. 

 

In 2025, however, unrelenting, impactful injuries, and critical coaching and execution errors could be mitigating factors that finally disrupt the Bills' history of late season excellence.

If the Bills beat CIN, I think they go 4-1 down the stretch.  Resting players against the Jets.  They’ll beat NE and Philly.   
 

Since we likely aren’t getting a bye, or home game, I don’t care about seeding.  
 

Getting to a point where we can rest guys for a game, maybe even two, is the most important goal they should have.
