We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
Miami (2), Indi, Jville, St. Louis...
I see nothing in this schedule that lends me to believe we won't take each of these games.
Lets look at the positives right now...
We just took two AFC Superbowl contenders to the last minute... One of which we were fighting the refs damn near the whole game. None of the above teams represent that level of competition.
5 of the next 7 games are at home.
CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson are the best tandem in the league.
Stevie Johnson is an elite WR.
A healthy Cordy Glenn changes our offense.
We're a relatively healthy football team.
We got down 10-0 to the Pats on the road. We scrapped the whole game only to lose on the last play. This team isn't quitting.
There is every possibility of us getting to the Seatle game with a 7-6 record. Seattle doesn't impress me, so I can see a big win there followed by a another big win on the road against the Fish.
9-6.
Jets at home... Mario with a chance to do some mouth punching of his own.
Bottomline: The Bills haven't given up on this season, and neither have I!

that showed me something.
we've got a shot... albeit a small one... but its still there.
I am hopeful Mario takes inspiration from the work ethic of his teammates and turns it up a notch.
if he did... he coul be a difference maker for us.

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
Nope, this team responds to difficulty by imploding. They give up, lay down and die. We go into the final game at best 7-8 which is good enough to keep Chan employed and us away from a decent draft pick.

I won't totally rule this out. You're right. We didn't not lose to the Pats badly. We were in a position to win on their field and against a top notch foe.
If we can take this as a moral victory and move forward to be an even better football team, I could see a run of wins.
I hope you're right.

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
that loss was devastating. it will require too much help that they won't get, and i frankly don't see them winning more than2 games. those miami games are not give me games.

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
They'd better not.
I don't need this team screwing up their draft position and making it at all possible for Fitz or Wanny to have a job next year.

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
Rams are a very solid team.

Losing close to the Pats in Foxboro isn't the badge of courage it was years ago. They're almost a 0.500 team aside from the games against the Bills.

They were the conference champs last year, so they have that going for them until some team says different.

No way they win all 5 of them. In fact, I'll bet you 5K Zonebucks that they lose at least one of those 5.

Are you really saying that we took Houston to the last minute? The Bills lost 21-9 and didn't score a TD...

Seattle beat both New England and the Jets... Something the Bills couldn't do. I'm not ready to simply chalk two wins up against Miami, either...

Get back to me on Friday. Like I said, 5k ZB says the Bills lose at least one of the 5 games (Miami (2), Ind, StL, Jax) you mention, making the rest of your post moot.

Great...so if you want to go by last year's results, we're last place with a 1-5 record in the division. So the Bills have that going for them until they decide to field a real team that can compete.
0-3 in the division. How's that going? Not so good, eh?

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
I agree with OP... Pats game was more than a "too bad, so close" moment for me. This team at week 17 will look nothing like this team at week 5.

Unreal...the team is still losing. Every darn week they lose and you guys find something positive to take from it. This is the 2012 Patriots, guys. Not the 2007 Patriots. This New England team is crazy inconsistent. The only thing their fans can reliably depend on is beating the Bills. Other than that, they are a 0.500 team. Their offense is still potent and batted us around like a cat with a mouse. The defense (24th in the league) is their Achille's heel, especially the pass defense (27th).
Nearly another franchise record this week though (penalty yards). And the offense turned the ball over three times and nearly had a fourth.
Good teams like New England find ways to win. Lousy, poorly coached teams like Buffalo find ways to lose.

Trust me, I am not the least bit depressed about the Bills. I thought the defense would be better and they would go 9-7 or so, but I half expected them to do what they do best: tank.
They are not going anywhere this year and they never will under Chump Gailey. Every week is another travesty of coaching. Last week, the 150 yards in penalties should have been enough. If not that, then the timeout they had to call when the team wasn't ready after Spiller picked up a first on the last scoring drive and alertly went out of bounds.

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
Before you guys get all worked up over the close loss the NE.
Their defense sucks. Their secondary is one of the worst in the league.
NE's defense sucked last year too. They are defending AFC champs for two reasons.
Brady
Belichick
The Bills have:
Fitzpatrick
Gailey
Case closed!

We were one play from being one game back in the division. How anyone could have watched yesterday's game and not come away from it hungry for more is beyond me.
It's clear to me they are putting the work in and they are scrapping their asses off. This worm is going to turn for them.

How can anyone watch the Bills this whole season...and for the past 12 seasons....and not think that wishing upon a star for the playoffs is pretty silly.
The "worm will turn" for the Bils when two things happen. We get a real QB, and a new committed owner.

Re: We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
I guess I don't see where, in order for a person to have an opinion or thought, he/she needs to wager something of value... Assuming ZB's actually have value... Or maybe it requires real dollars in order to state one's opinion... Perhaps a right arm or left nut or a 1st born would be mare appropriate.
Sounds like the biggest balls wins all arguments regardless of actuallities.
PS... I'm not predicting the outcomes of these games. I just enjoy my Bills fandom as I have for the past 50 years. All I can say is, if it's a burden to someone, perhaps they should consider riding a bandwagon of the year elsewhere.

he doesn't have to... I simply threw it out there to see if he actually belives what he said. Like you said, ZB are worthless, for the most part... So, he's really not risking anything.
But, for him to not even risk something that is pretty much worthless, tells me a lot about how much he really belives his bull.

That's pretty much what coastal did a few weeks back, when he proclaimed his love for the 49ers...
Again, I threw out the bet to see if he would actually back his words up with anything, even if the item gambled wasn't of any real value... He can't even do that.
Again, it tells me how much he actually believs the **** he writes.
