I highly doubt it. The only games that have a shot are New England, Washington, and the Giants. And we would have to keep winning to even have a shot at it.

The Giants, Washington, and Jacksonville all have a shot. And maybe NE if there still undefeated come week 11.

If their undefeated and we are 5-4, plan on the game being on. The NFL had to love that monday nighter against Dallas, it might end up being one of the best games of the year. It had high drama, lot's of action and a dramatic ending (thx to the A-hole clock keeper for not starting the F-in clock on the kick).

I can agree with that. But, we've played New England quite a few times in the Sunday Night spotlight in recent history. And we've gotten destroyed each time.

People want to see touchdowns and star players. Right now Buffalo unfortunately offer neither.

The only thing likely to happen is a Bills game getting shifted to 4pm instead of 1pm, which I hate...
