I think this point of view has already been taken, but I'd like to give it another look:
Yes, we lost a big game to New England. We should've, could've, would've won it and be 6-3 going into a bye week. Yes that would've been really nice. Drew didn't get his revenge, everyone is upset. WE LOST AT HOME.
But...
We are still legitimately second place in the division, only a half game behind the Dolphins if they lose to the Packers tonight. After the bye week, we face a bunch of good teams but all of them definitely winnable games. In the remaining 7 games in the season, if we go 4-3, we'll have a record of 9-7. In this division, 9-7 could very well take it. Here's the schedule for Miami and New England:
Miami Dolphins
@ Green Bay
@ NY Jets
vs Baltimore
vs San Diego
@ Buffalo
vs Chicago
vs Oakland
@ Minnesota
@ New England
They could easily go 3-6 in the remaining games, giving them a 8-8 record.
New England Patriots
@ Chicago
@ Oakland
vs Minnesota
@ Detroit
vs Buffalo
@ Tennessee
vs NY Jets
vs Miami
They could go 4-4, giving them a 8-8 record as well.
In these scenerios, if we go 4-3 for the rest of the season, we could take the division title and be in the playoffs.
Don't be discouraged at this point. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
