2017 Buffalo Bills running playoff chances discussion Thread

[Skooby]

I thought I’d give us all somewhere to dream about the elusive post-season:

They have to win 4 of the next 6. Bengals, Bucs, Raiders (maybe with EJ), Jets, Saints and Chargers. I think to have any chance they have to be at least 7-3 before heading into tough games vs Chiefs and Patriots.

Yep, that seems like a reasonable benchmark. 7-3 with games against the Colts and Dolphins (2x) to hopefully get to 10 wins, then 3 other games with possible upsets. Win 1 of those 3 and hit 11-5, and we deserve the playoffs.

I like Bills chances at this point... I'll like them 100% more if they win tomorrow and go into bye 4-1.

OK...SO....... How 'bout them Bills?

So back on topic.. they should just delete the posts not on topic in this thread.


With 12 games remaining, I think barring a crazy happening 11 wins in guranteed to get us in, maybe 10 considering we're already 2-0 in the AFC.



Oct 8 @CIN WINNABLE , away game hot start for us.
Bye
Oct 22 TB SHOULD WIN, they look bad, coming off a bye at home

Oct 29 OAK. WINNABLE , Oakland traveling across country
Nov 2 @NYJ SHOILD WIN
Nov 12 NO WINNABLE, home game, very bad def, brees plays bad outside
Nov 19 @LAC WINNABLE, bad team but cross country travel you never know with those.
Nov 26 @KC PROBALLY LOSE , in KC they look good well.
Dec 3 NE WINNABLE, first one in years it wouldn't be a shocker to beat em.
Dec 10 IND SHOULD WIN, even with luck they have too many holes and home game for us.
Dec 17 MIA SHOULD WIN , they look like a bottom feeder this year.
Dec 24 @NE see previous.
Dec 31 @MIA see previous.

So that leaves 5 games
We should win, say we go 4-1 in those.

6 games are winnable IMO, say we go 3-3 in those

And we lose to chiefs. 0-1

That brings us to 10-6.

We played the hardest part of our schedule already and went 3-1. Many people say the next quarter is telling, and yes obv every quarter is telling. Including the 1st

In other news, I have made it to kentucky... thought I'd be able to watch the game from my hotel room, instead I had to grab a cab to a place called Kentucky Hall of Fame in Ashland KY. $2 domestics all game long...

Let's get into our bye at 4-1.

Nothing wrong with 2 dollar domestics! Unless the choices are Coors Light and Bud Light :rofl:

If ultra is there then it’s alright or PBR.

If those are my choices, I'm spending a hell of a lot more than $12...

[Pennywise]

The Bills will win their next two so I am still confident.

Now they have to win 4 of 5. You have to figure a loss to KC and 2 vs NE (I don't care how their defense looks, they still have Brady) That gets you to 10-6 and that's a must for the playoffs. Blew an opportunity today.

Pats win.
Fish win.
Jets win.
Bills play down to the level of the competition and lose.
Typical Sunday in WNY

Why are you sharing tweets from that douchebag?

I really really REALLY want the Bills to get to the playoffs this year... but I'm having a difficult time believing that the stars will align this year. I didn't get to see the Cincy game, so I don't know what went "wrong", but after beating Denver and Atlanta.... Cincy was a must win.

BUT, I am seeing a glimmer of hope for the future. :)
