        4 games left and they are facing Manning, Rodgers & Brady.

        I'm rooting for them but this has 8-8 written all over it....which is still 1 game better than my 7 win prediction.

          Yep. The only remaining win will be Oakland. Winning yesterday means this is an 8-8 team.

            Hopefully Marrone and the team don't have the Wade Phillips "we don't have a chance at the playoffs' mentality. Just once I'd like to see a miracle in our favor.

              A win this upcoming Sunday would be an early Christmas Miracle.

                Well the Jets need to win tonight for starters.

                As it stands now, our playoffs have started. If we lose any game but the Packers game, we are effectively eliminated.

                  I see this as an 8-8 team as well.

                  That is enough for everyone to keep their jobs for next year.

                    As Downinfloflo said, the bills will need to score points the next 4 games & a lot of them.

                    3 points in a half of football against those teams is not going to cut it.

                    Hackett still sucks, TERRIBLE play calling against the Brown.

                    I expect an 8-8 record at this point & I want Hackett at the least fired.

                      Well, IMO, with the talent on this team, 8-8 should not be a good enough record for everyone to keep their job.

                        It'd be a miracle if we beat Denver, Patsies and Packers.

                        itd be true to form tho if we beat them but lose to the Raiders eliminating us from playoffs. lol

                          Agreed

                          Something we've done only twice this season, both times against the Jets.

                            I think it would be half a miracle if we can beat one of them. They'll all be playing for something when we play them. Maybe not the Pats, but if Denver wins out against us, the Chargers, Bengals, and Raiders, a likelihood, then the Pats will need that game. Or if the Pats lose to @ SD or Miami in the next two weeks, something I also wouldn't dismiss. Either way, Belicheat has no pattern of resting his starters, maybe for the 4th but not otherwise.
