    we might get to 8 wins though 7-9 is looking pretty realistic at this point.

          If we can't beat Cleveland we'll be 7-9 at best. Our D is going to get rolled by Denver, GB, and NE. If we lose to Cleveland we shouldn't rule out an 0-5 finish either.

            Our defense will not be rolled by Denver or Green Bay. I am sorry they will keep us in the game.

            The question is how will our offense fair.

            Denver is not unbeatable and neither is Green Bay. Our defense will force third and longs and our pass rush will get us off the field. Can the def do anything is the question.

            Main thing is win Sunday first the. We can talk about denver

              Still no games that are guaranteed wins or losses IMO. The defense is good, but not good enough to put the team on it's shoulders against anybody, let alone this last five game stretch. The offense is going to have to have a game or two that makes fans say 'Whoa, where did that come from?'

                Denver's main issue lately has been their offensive line. With the way our front 4 have been playing, we do have a shot in that game.
                "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

                  It is up to the offense to take some time off the clock & put some points on the board.

                  No defense can play for 50 minutes & keep a GOOD team scoreless.

                    Anything can happen. Rodgers, Manning and Brady could all blow knees this week and be done. Every team is one injury away from the season drastically turning.

                    First task at hand is beating Cleveland. That should be Buffalo's only focus right now.

                      We shouldn't have much trouble doing that with Jackson back in the lineup. He's not what he once was, but between him, Brown, and Dixon, even if they can average just 4.0 ypc we should be able to do that against Cleveland. Their rushing D sucks. It's their primary weakness. So Dixon and Brown are going to have to kick it up a notch.

                      They've allowed over 120 yards rushing in 7 of their 11 games.

                        We have the hardest schedule of those teams and the fewest tiebreakers in our favor.

                        Houston, Miami, KC, SD. Win one of those games and we have a small shot. Win 2 and we have a good shot. Win 3 and se have a really good shot despite the brutal schedule.

                        The sad part is that 3 of the 4 were winnable. Houston was better than us that afternoon but we absolutely should have beat Miami, KC and SD.

                          And to my points about the D, they didn't do anything special in three of those four games and were above average but far from stellar in the fourth.

                          ProFootballTalk says this about the Ravens/SD game:

                          I think we can officially write off the loser of this one. The AFC playoff pool is just too deep for the loser to remain in contention.

                          I would agree with that, but we own fewer tiebreakers than either of those two teams and we're already a game behind, what the loser will be if we can beat the Browns.

                          So it would seem that we can write ourselves off at this point in time as well.

                            I'm sorry, but in all fairness, we should beat Cleveland, Oakland, and Green Bay at home.

                            They have a good shot at 9-7, particularly because of this stingy defense.

                            Denver is tough but they're not perfect either.

                              Unfortunately 9-7 would give us 7 AFC losses. I'm not sure a 9 win team gets in this year, but it def won't be enough for us. Even 10-6 (assuming NE as the loss) may not get us in.
