Our receivers do not get open against the worst cornerbacks in the NFL so those being the "best" doesn't change much.

 

True 

 

Kincaid and knox need to combine for 200 yds lol

This is literally the Patriots schedule. Insane.

Ive said it all year.  They are a good team but lets see them next year with a 1st place schedule.

[No_Matter_What]

Game week thread flooded with Pats* fan posting over and over again how good they are.

 

Awesome

2026 will be a 3 game difference or 17% of the 17 game schedule

 

NFCW- 1

AFCN - 1

AFCS - 1

 

The Bills and Pats both play

 

AFCE - 6

AFCW - 4

NFCN - 4

The division will likely be decided by 1 or 2 games this year.  Any difference could change the tide next year.  You guys have a good team but to try and deny playing a last place schedule didnt impact your win loss record this year is ignorant.

Based on the clips of him walking into the stadium this morning i'd say there is zero chance he's playing this week. 

I think Palmer comes back the week after next.

What's suppose to change? 

 

This isn't Vrabel as a first time head coach. They have a solid coaching staffing, cap space, the draft and free agency, plus a QB with a ton of potential to entice other free agency. All of that has to factor into next year too.

[eball]

For the Bills to win the East they must win out and the Pats*** must lose two of their other three games. The tiebreakers are not in our favor so we need a better record straight up. 
 

It’s doable though…after us they face a desperate Ravens team, followed by Jets and Miami (who might still be in the hunt for a WC). 
 

NE has faced essentially no adversity this season, but the pressure level is about to ratchet up to 11 real quick.

My Lord man you act as though the Bills dont have all of that as well.   They will make moves to have cap space.   I don't know why Patriots fans come to other teams boards to tell us how great the Patriots are.

 

This is purely about playing a 1st place schedule vs a last place schedule.   Yes the Patriots have draft picks.  Ground breaking stuff.

Please point me out in my reply I said anything about the bills? I simply asked you when they play (the pats) a 1st place schedule what is suppose to change ? Meaning for them..i said nothing about the Bills, especially being better than the pats. And nothing i said implied them(The patriots) being good, or better than another team.

NE lost to the Raiders so now youre down to a 2 game difference this season.

 

Clinching the AFCE doesnt guarantee jack sheet as you can attest.

No adversity? They've won games without Rhamondre Stevenson, Carlton Davis, Christian Gonzalez, Willie Campbell, Kayshon Boutte, Milton Johnson, K'Lavon Chaisson just time name a few, throughout the season in games spread out and still won on a consistent basis every week and in two hostile environments vs two contenders in Buffalo and Tampa Bay as well as the best pass defense in the league at the time in the Atlanta Falcons.. wouldn't say they faced no adversity.

I think this is incorrect. 1 loss vs either Dolphins or Jets is enough. Ravens game is essentially irrelevant (maybe it would allow us to lose the Eagles game?)

They don’t have to lose 2 of their last 3.

 

Bills have to win out, and Pats need to lose against either Jets OR Miami.

This is about as 50/50 game as you can get. No receiver group is better than the other. HC is a tie. Bills have the much better RB. Patriots may have a slightly better DL/secondary.

 

The problem? We still need to go undefeated and have NE lose two games sans next week. If not for those terrible losses to Miami & Atlanta, we could control the division with a win.
