Right now looking at other teams remaining schedules and conference records, I feel like we're actually in a solid spot. Pittsburgh could easily be 9-7, Jets may not even get to 9 wins. Oakland could end up at 9 wins, but will be tough.
I think if we get to 9 wins and beat 2 or more conference opponents, we could have a decent shot. As is the case every single year though, we need to take care of business. I just a have a really bad feeling that Jaguars loss is going to come back to bite us.

I see a lot of teams do the exact same thing. In fact, all but about 3-4 have this same problem every year.Originally Posted by WagonCircler
I think football is just a broke sport.
Umm, no. Tyrod is the #2 playing the #1 currently. and he's not very good at it.
You should probably stop posting about football if you can't see how much better Tyrod Taylor is at playing QB than anybody we've had on our roster since Kelly.

If you did actually watch Bills football since Kelly played then you would know that isn't a good thing to say. It's not hard to be better than anyone that played after Kelly. They all sucked and unless Tyrod learns how to command the offense and go through progressions he's going to be another one in a long line of bums.
40-60 IMO
We are 5-5 since I give us a 0.00000000001% chance of beating the Pats.
After that its road games galore. While the teams are not world beaters being on the road is tough. We certainly have a good shot if we stay healthy but after all this time I'm damaged goods and I'm sure whatever bad thing needs to happen will happen and we will miss out as usual.

If you want to cherry pick some statistics and read too far into them, you could say this team is 3-0 when playing on the road inside the continental United States.

After that it's 3 road (chiefs, eagles, skins) and 3 home (Jets, Texans, Cowboys)

After the Pats, if you don't count Dallas (which might still be the best team we play with a healthy Romo) each team is within a game of their division leader or the last conference wild card spot. No one after the Pats is a world beater, but tough enough opposition to make trying to slide in to a wildcard spot at 5 or 6 a pretty tough proposition.

how do you feel about your teams execution?

Oh I know Ilum but 2 of the 3 home games are the last games. By then we could be in deep doo doo if we don't take care of things on the road first.
Well we've got to take care of business on the road regardless. But I see your point.
Where my mind went, too.
Lots of teams can catch up to the Bills If they lose to the Pats this week. If the Bills lose, these are the immediate things to think about...of course, we are are talking about a Wildcard spot
- The Jets can overtake us if they beat the Texans.
- The Dolphins can have the same record if they beat the Cowboys, even though the Bills would win the tiebreaker (Romo is going to be back, I believe)
- the Steelers will STILL be ahead of us...they have their bye
- the Texans/Colts could match our record. What a ****ed up division the AFC South is. The Texans are playing the Jets as well, so either one of those teams would get a step on us. Don't discount the Texans yet, either...as far as we are concerned.
- the chiefs could match our record by beating the Chargers on the road
- The Raiders could match our record by beating the Lions on the road
In other words, there are a million teams that can get a leg up on the Bills for those wildcard spots this week if we don't beat the Pats. The outlook is probably going to get tighter after Monday Night is what I'm saying.
Beating the Pats would be incredible at this point...at any point, really, but I'll turn a backflip if that happens.

Everything was impossible, and then life happened.
The impossible happened.
That's why I strongly agree that a 2015 Buffalo Bills playoff berth will happen.
That's why I thought I'd hit the lottery by now, too.
The Bills have a chance, and that's about it.
I would argue that both Bledsoe & Fluttie were substantially better than Taylor.
Please Make Sense
Not a chance. Losing to the Giants at home and the Jags in London sealed this team's fate.
After they lose to the Cheaters (with help from the Refs), I see them beating Houston, MAYBE the Eagles, and probably the Jets.
This team inspires no confidence whatsoever.

Yeah, that Jacksonville game was a real back-breaker...the kind of loss that will come back to haunt you down the stretch. The kind of thing that will constantly remind me of that Robey pass-interference call that didn't happen. We would have won if not for that...hate having to think it, but it's true in all likelihood. Not to mention EJ's handing them back-to-back-to-back touchdowns.
Couple of TDs taken back in the giants game, too. Pretty sick of thinking about things like this later in the season.
But we're still in it, so I'll roll with that. I'm entirely prepared to get pissed off with things that happen this week against the Pats. I do envision a close game, though.

That's just being disingenuous. Of course there is a chance. In fact there is a chance significantly above zero from a statistical standpoint.
