Scenarios for winning the division; scenarios for winning the #1 seed

[hondo in seattle]

A man can dream, can't he?  

But my rational, pragmatic mind tells me that we're not winning out.  We've been too inconsistent this season, and we're too banged up right now, to believe winning out is a realistic scenario.  

 

We started the season 4-0.  But since the hospital beds filled up and Brady lost his juju, we've been a mediocre 5-4 team.  I'm hoping for a 3-1 finish but, given the trend, 2-2 might be more likely.

I think if they beat NE which will be a tough game then winning out becomes very possible. The Browns and Jets games the Bills will be solid favorites. That Eagles game is also looking very winnable with how badly they are struggling.

For the Bills to win the East the Rats need to lose to the Bills and 2 other games so we have the best record.  Rats lose to Bills, Ravens and Dolphins?  Possible. 

If we win out, just Jets or Dolphins over the Pats is needed.  We would win on Conference record tiebreaker.

This week will tell us if this team was waiting for December to turn it on. Lots of injuries, but there is enough on this Bills team to win it all. Starting with Josh.

I agree. 

 

I respect the 2025 Pats.  If the Bills beat them with good performances on both sides of the ball, I'll happily reevaluate the current state of the Bills.  

And, yeah, Philly looks beatable.

Over the past two weeks I’ve grown more comfortable with our wildcard path to the playoffs, Benford is hot, our line play has filled in nicely, Shaq Thompson is doing well, Harriston is doing ok, Cole isn’t out of position. Josh and Cook are healthy or seem to be. 
 

if we get healthy at the right time and stay healthy we could be tough to be in a shoot out in the playoffs.
