There’s nothing remotely “locked in”

"Not eliminated yet".

An all too familiar November chant.

If they are as bad as they have looked the last two weeks in arrow, I think they win 2 more games if they're lucky.

Why wish for the playoffs when you know the Bills have a starting QB that will never win a Super Bowl?

Have you not been around for the last 17 years?

With the way the AFC is looking, right now 8-8 might sneak you in at the #6 seed. If Denver loses tonight and Miami tomorrow, I still like the Bills' chances if they can at least get one the next two weeks.

Baltimore has a cupcake schedule except for @ Pitt and Detroit at home. They might be a team we really want to root hard against if the end game for us as fans is to get into the playoffs as the six seed.

I don't want to just get to the playoffs and call it good enough.

I want to live to see the day when the Buffalo Bills become Super Bowl Champions. Why settle for anything less?

Getting to the playoffs this year would be like good luck combined with bad....just our luck.

A playoff berth would be nice, but at the same time it would mean having to pay Tyrod Taylor to be a $20 million "game manager," that will never be a franchise QB, and will never win a Super Bowl.

Earlier in the season, the Bills won a lot of games they should have lost, by winning the turnover battle. Had the turnover differential been neutral for our first seven games, there's no way we sniff 5-2. We led the league in turnover differential, and by a significant margin.

Well, you say, turnovers are part of the game. And that's true. But if you need turnovers to win most games, due to ineffectiveness on non-turnover plays, then that puts you in a vulnerable position. Why? Because a highly favorable turnover margin like that is unsustainable.

In our wins, we were also highly dependent on our running game. Problem there being we became too dependent on it. Teams learned that when you play the Bills, you take away the run. You dare the Bills to beat you with the pass.

If our shiny turnover differential isn't going to play as big a role going forward as it did in our five wins, and if our running game is going to be ineffective due in part to teams' lack of respect for our passing game, how many more wins do you envision us getting over the final seven games? Two of those seven games are against the Patriots. How do you think those games will play out? What about our game against the Chiefs? Or our trip to Los Angeles?

Nice?

At this point it would be orgasmic.

Too bad we have to play the last 7 games

It would be like a one night stand with someone you really want to be with and love and then they leave you for money.

We'd blow our load, feel great for about a week and then reality would set in.

With the 20th pick in the NFL Draft.....

A one night stand after the longest dry spell in history, plus the 20th > no playoffs. Again. Plus the 14th pick.

Are we going to have one of these stupid threads every week until it's official?
