Will the Bills Win Out?

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

People don't grok probabilities very well.  Let's assign these (perhaps too generous) chances of winning each game...

 

Bengals - 65%

Patriots - 50%

Browns - 80%

Eagles - 60%

Jets - 80%

 

The chances of winning all five under those auspices is 12%.

If the Bills have nothing to play for vs the Jets, then you know they will rest their starters and get ready for WC weekend. If they treat that game like a preseason game, then I would say the Jets will win that game.

Too inconsistent to put a streak together.

[RiotAct]

Nope. Injuries are killing us.

Well, if there was a time for the team to get hot, this would be it...heading down the stretch into the playoffs.

 

Just to note: remember in 2023 things didn't look too great after going back-and-forth with wins for 9 weeks (win-loss-win-loss-win-loss-loss-win-loss) and then the Bills went on a 5-game win streak to close out the season against: KC (11-6), Dallas (12-5), LAC (5-12), Pats (4-13), and Miami (11-6). That scenario was even more improbable than them doing it this year.

 

Can the Bills win out? Absolutely. Are the odds in favor of them winning out? No.

 

But at this point, even if we can't steal the division back, just get yourselves in playoff mode. Balls to the wall, lay it all on the line time.

I would be happy with 2 consecutive wins. Not likely.

I think it is possible that the Bills win out, in the same way that it is possible to win the Lotto, be struck by lightning, and killed by a terrorist in the same day.

I’ve always thought the bills would win the Super Bowl in a year I least expect it. That will be this year. Bills win out

They showed me something in the Steelers game.  

What you saw in the Steelers game is a team that is 2-5 in its last 7 games and fading fast. 😂

Considering we are 4 and 4 our last 8 games, hard to imagine going 5-0 down the stretch

I think the Bills drop 1 or 2 more. I dont think we win this week against the Bengals. Depending on how they look this week, I may not think we even beat the Pats. We shall see. Injuries all over the place. Including our best pass rushers and our best pass catcher. Defense is up and down. Offense is up and down. Its just too much variance for me to think the Bills can pull off winning out this year. Possible if they get their crap together but I dont see it.

Our Bills have Dissociative Identity Disorder.  How do you know which team will show up on any given game day?  

 

I wouldn't be surprised by any result - except for winning out.

Hoping for 3-2

[Jester]

Yes. Go big or go home.
