POLL With a 6-3 start, will the Bills make the playoffs?

[Shanemansj13]

Up to this point the Bills SOS has been a mind-boggling .337. 2nd worst in the league is the Pats at .366. 3rd worst is the 49ers at .404.

I believe if they lose to the Jets, Dolphins or Broncos they have no chance. If they win all 3 of those, I like their chances to get in. I don't think they'll get it done, but they could surprise me.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Think 9-7 for the Bills.

Good enough for #6.

I think it will be 10-6 Pittsburgh and 9-7 Buffalo. But....

They have to deal with the 11-5 Chiefs at arrowhead. Good enough for a wildcard exit

 

[Carnzo]

They are in like Flynn. Who ever Flynn was.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

I thought they were pretenders from the get-go.

I think they get in. Currently up a game on everyone else in the wild card race. Two teams would have to pass them, and without looking at the rest of the teams' remaining schedules, do you think two of the Steelers, Colts, Titans, and Raiders are suddenly going to get it together and go on a run?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

They're definitely not a lock after the Browns game and the Steelers continuing to finesse soft victories themselves.

I think it's enough in the AFC. Probably a 9-7 team gets in which is where I figured the Bills might end up anyway. The loss to Cleveland hurt for sure but I could see them beating Miami, Denver and the Jets. Possibly even pull an upset in one of the other ones. The defense is legit.

If they get to 9 wins, and one of those losses is to the Steelers on top of losing to the Browns, they're in deep, deep trouble. There's no way anyone can watch this Bills offense and have any confidence in them beating NE, even if NE's offense is eh themselves.

Yeah, it may come down to a tie breaker in the AFC but I really don't have a lot of confidence in some of those other teams. I just think the Bills D might steal a game somewhere, maybe Pittsburgh. That one is definitely a big game for WC implications though. I agree the Bills offense is awful but the D can keep them close in any game and every now and then, the offense can do just enough. If they pull off one upset, it could get them to 10 wins. Of course, they could just as easily choke vs. the Jets or Dolphins or Broncos too.

Yes I do...let's take a look
Steelers: Lots of road games left...
@Browns
@ Bengals
Browns
@ Cardinals
Bills
@ Jets
@ Ravens

Colts: Lots of NFC South games and in division games
Jaguars
@Texans
Titans
@ Bucs
@ Saints
Panthers
@ Jaguars

Titans: bye week this week
Jaguars
@Colts
@ Raiders
Texans
Saints
@ Texans

Raiders: they have a shot if they can handle AFC South teams
Bengals
@ Jets
@ Chiefs
Titans
Jaguars
@ Chargers
@ Broncos

Jaguars: last team with 5 losses...and they play most of these teams...spoiler?
@ Colts
@ Titans
Buccaneers
Chargers
@ Raiders
@ Falcons
Colts

Because these teams play each other often for the final 6 or 7 games, 9 games might be enough to get in. The Steelers have the advantage in that they don't play most of the other teams looking for the other wild card spot...and that could play in their favor. If the South teams cannibalize each other, the Raiders just might sneak in and grab that lost spot...or the Bill could hold on if they win the 3 games I mentioned. This will all shake out and it should be fun to watch. Is a team going to step up and take it or will somebody back into it because they sucked the least??? Could be fun

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Looking at all those teams, I'm leaning toward who sucks the least more than someone stepping up. The Raiders could actually be the 5 seed at this rate or they could lose the final 2 in their division. It's really a crap shoot..

[Used 2 B Hu]

I could see 10-6 with that schedule
