We're half way through the season. Despite an 0-3 start and a pair of games we lost on the last play of the game, the Buffalo Bills stand at 4-4 and very much are at least on the fringes of a wild card battle.
Right now Tennesee looks like a wild card lock. They're at 6-2, and with a totally dominant front seven they should get to 10-11 wins with no problem.'
This is where it can get fun. At 5-3, both Cleveland and Jacksonville are a game ahead of the Bills for the second spot. We play both these teams later in the year, though both games are on the road. Balitmore is a half-game ahead of us at 4-3, but they play and will hopefully lose at Pittsburgh tommorow night to drop to .500. Obviously, we also beat them heads-up and will have a tiebreaker on them.
In the AFC West, both SD and KC are tied at the top with a 4-4 record. The non division winner is certainly in the hunt, though my gut tells me KC will be lucky to finish with 8-9 wins this year and SD will win the division with 9-10 wins.
Assuming we beat Miami and lose to New England. We'll be sitting at 5-5 going into the final six weeks. Though the schedule is tough with only one game that should be an "easy" win (Miami at home) essentially we could end up controlling our own destiny by playing at Jags and Brownies.
Any way you cut it, if nothing else we're at least on the fence of a wild card race. Exciting for now. We CANNOT afford to lose at Miami next week, that's truly a "must win" game.
