Bills finish playing with the 24th-most difficult schedule….

Re: Bills remaining schedule is easy…

Some of the talking head (*cough*Benini and Carucci*cough*) rhetoric following the Sunday win was the team got bored with the Packers after the first half ad that's what led to sloppy second half performance. Let's hope that mindset doesn't linger at all the rest of the season and they 'get bored' with their schedule.

It's the responsibility of the coaches to keep them on task ........ having said that they are professionals and the killer instinct is required across the board. Veteran leadership probably in the form of Von Miller will be a plus going forward ..... eye to the prize.

I see only one maybe two losses in the Bills remaining 11 games.

Re: Bills remaining schedule is easy…

I see possible losses to Bengals, one to New England, and maybe an obscure dud against the Bears at Soldier Field in December.

The divisional games worry me the most

Re: Bills remaining schedule is easy…

NE could take one if we get another bad weather game like last year. I know we beefed up the DL, but when you take Josh out of the equation, it's Belicheat vs. McD.

But assuming weather holds up, Miami is the only 'tough' game left. The Vikings are off to a great start, but I honestly havent watched them at all, so not sure if they're good or a result of playing far lesser opponents.

Vikings, Browns and Bengals will be tough games. We never match up well against the Browns too. Division games are tougher this year too than last year.

Re: Bills remaining schedule is easy…

Having both the Browns and Vikings at home is huge. I just don’t see the Bills losing another game at home this year......including the playoffs.

Divison games are always “tougher” because they mean so much.

But, with that said, Miami is NOT going to waltz into Buffalo and win. NO ****ING WAY!!!

The Pats and Jets are just no match for the Bills.....no matter where they are played.

Chicago and Detroit, on the road, are no match for Buffalo.

That leaves the Cincy game, on the road, as the most questionable one left on the schedule. Second to last game for each team....Monday night....with the strong possibility that the Bengals will be fighting for their playoff lives.

And on the Bills situation, the AFC East will be already clinched (at least two or three weeks before) and they may already have the #1 seed clinched as well.

Would anyone be surprised if the Bills go into the Cincy game with a 14-1 record and the unquestioned best team in the AFC??? Not me.


This season’s Buffalo Bills have lived up to every expectation of being the clear favorite to win the Super Bowl. They are the team of destiny.

Re: Bills remaining schedule is easy…

The Vikings are probably the best team remaining on the schedule, but I never think they're a great team when I watch them.

I thought traveling to NE for a Thursday game would be tough, but the Bills play on Thanksgiving the week before, so they'll have more rest and prep time than the Pats.

The Jets would make me a little nervous if Zach Wilson could show something, but he's been terrible. They have a lot of young talent, but losing Breece Hall hurts too.

Bengals should be better, but they're really struggling to protect Burrow. That's not going to get easier going against the Bills.

Honestly, it's probably the Dolphins that are the best team or toughest remaining opponent, but I can't wait for that revenge game and seeing Tua have to come to Buffalo in December.

16-1.

The Bills will be favorites in each of their remaining games.

After watching the Bengals the other night I'm more confident we can beat them.

The Browns are dangerous with that RB.
The Vikings big question mark on how that might go ?

That wind game was once in a century conditions. The last two times we've played we didn't punt. If they were fights the ref would have stopped both games.

Re: Bills remaining schedule is easy…

Divisional games are almost always tough games (for any team) no matter what, and we have five of those remaining at this moment.
