Bills v Jets

[johnson]

Just heard they are moving the game to Ford Field in Detroit. HUH?!?! Very curious to see how many people are actually at that game. I don't see a ton of Bills fans making the drive. And why would Lions fans pay money to see that turd bowl of a game?

Would have made more sense to have it in Toronto or wait and have it in Buffalo on MNF or even Tuesday.

So much for this "home game" for Bills fans.

Tickets are free, and Bills season ticket holders have first choice. The game IS on Monday night, no way to get ready for Sunday. Supposedly next week's home game against Cleveland is in jeopardy as well. Difficult to prioritize snow cleanup in a stadium when people were stranded on the thruway and are still stranded in their homes. Community first, then football.

The Vikings moved a home game to Detroit a few years ago when the Metrodome roof caved in from excess snow and there 45K+ in attendance. Should be a decent turnout; Detroit could use some free entertainment these days.

I'd imagine for free on MNF there will be a decent showing. No idea who the majority of the fans will be cheering for. The game has no impact on the Lions. Maybe Detroit fans will be bitter after losing one they let get away against the Bills??

I don't like that. I thought if they moved the game to Tuesday, we could've had the Ralph ready by tben

Woods is having a great game. Definitely solidified himself as a very good #2.

Demolition!

Texans, Chiefs and Dolphins losses hurt bad. All games we could have easily won.

We just need to play the Jets every week

We're definitely not sitting pretty after this game, but we're not looking too bad. With a good streak, the playoffs aren't that bad of a possibility.

#5 - Kansas City (7-4) --- vs Denver. Chiefs should lose.
#6 - San Diego (7-4) --- @ Baltimore. I have the Chargers in this one.

#7 - Baltimore (7-4) --- vs San Diego. ^^^
#8 - Pittsburgh (7-4) --- vs New Orleans. Pittsburgh should win, but a loss is possible.
#9 - Cleveland (7-4) --- @ Buffalo. Hopefully we can take Cleveland at home, we should be able too.
#10 - Miami (6-5) --- @ New York. Unfortunately, Miami will take this handily.
#11 - Buffalo (6-5) --- vs Cleveland. We should win at home.


That leaves the playoff picture looking like

#5 - San Diego (8-4)
#6 - Pittsburgh (8-4)

#7 - Kansas City (7-5)
#8 - Baltimore (7-5)
#9 - Miami (7-5)
#10 - Buffalo (7-5)
#11 - Cleveland (7-5)


The losses to Cleveland, Miami and San Diego definitely hurt a lot. But after this week, we might be right back in a 1 game race

Way too many things need to happen and one of them is the Bills probably beating two of these three: Broncos, Packers, Patriots. Not gonna happen. Would be cool if they beat the Browns though because at least fans could still talk about them having a shot.

I feel bad for the Bills. This might be the hardest it's been in the AFC to get in the playoffs in NFL history.

 

[TKOSpikes]

We aren't mathematically out, but we're done. We won't be able to overcome the Hou, KC and Mia losses. One of them, sure...maybe even two, but all three has sunk us.

I know i probably sound like a homer, or maybe just desperate for something to believe in now.

But winning 2 of the 3 isn't all that unlikely. In the playoff predictor from ESPN, I had the Patriots going into week 17 at 13-2, and the Broncos going in at 11-4. If the Patriots have the 1 seed locked up, we might get to play (and beat) their backups.

So, we'd need to beat the Broncos or Packers. The Packers would roll over us, but were at home, so they'll probably have a 4-7 point victory over us.

The Broncos, were built to beat them. Our defense can handle that offense if our D-Line can have a big day, we just need a good offensive week. We could take them in a low scoring 24-21 type game. The chances of that happening though, are slim to none. The way I'm looking at it, our season depends on the Broncos game.

We'd still have to jump the four North teams, and KC and SD, both of whom beat us. That's a lot to have to happen. I hope, but I don't expect.

Detriot did a good job making it feel like a home game for the Bills!!

Bills destroyed the Jets and I loved it!

Best way to put it, that's slowly become the life of a Bills fan haha

The sad part is even if the Bills did beat Denver and finished 10-6, that's probably still not going to be enough. Season is over so far as playoffs go. It'd be nice to see them not finish 6-10 so just one more win would make the season special lol
