This Division is Still Up for Grabs....

[cmasspatsfan]

Another one of those bye weeks that the Pats end up winning.

And things turned around in a 5 minute span.

Ok so the division is essentially won. But whatever. I mean we don't celebrate division crowns around here. It's a SB win or a failed season. Not winning the SB means we are no better than Cincinnati.

But I was an idiot for creating this thread. It's clear my emotions got the best of me.

Buffalo looked like a legit threat on defense for a stretch but they've returned to earth. Five Thirty Eight has us at 97% to win the division, so hopefully we can just go take care of business. With how the conference is shaping up and the Bills still having an easy schedule, winning the division should also mean we've got a good enough record for the #2 seed at minimum.

Expected Bills to drop several games. Not a SB contender.

9-7

The Bills' remaining schedule with what I think they will win/lose PLUS winning in Foxboro:

@CLE - W
MIA - W
DEN - W
@DAL - L
BAL - L
@PIT - W
@NEP - W
NYJ - W

That is a 12-4 finish.

Meaning the Pats need to finish 4-3 including losing to the Bills.

Of the Pats remaining schedule...I think we at minimum split the next 4....and beat Miami/Cincinnati....and if we lose to the Bills...could still come down to a tie-breaker....

Bottom line: We need to win vs. HOU and KC to keep our conference record %-age as high as possible.

Phew. One week in and Buffalo is already down to 11-5 max...

Hope the Bills can at least do a solid and upset the Ravens, but completely crap their pants otherwise.

Dear god, i want whatever that dude smokes. @ Pitt and @ NE both wins... LMAO

9-7 is more like best case scenario at this point.

I honestly thought this was a very will done TIC.

when the bills lost to the browns, I laughed. classic. you have the first opportunity in a long time to ride out a schedule, play reasonable football and have a chance at it but instead, you buffalo it up. good job, bunch of morons, but we'll all show up and cheer for them next week

They aren’t morons, they just aren’t that good. The browns are a better team (when their coaching doesn’t hold them back) and they were at home.

Coaching is important. The Browns have a truly awful coaching staff.

The talent is there for them to win on any given day.

All the nfln folks predicted a CLE win this weekend. As I did, they all picked the patriots to have no problem with them when we played them.

Of course coaching is important but I wouldn’t throw the bills out there are an incredibly well coached team. Not sure what people NFLN predicting has anything to do with it. But they picked Cleveland over the bills because Cleveland is better and the patriots over Cleveland because the patriots are better.

You certainly are a confusing poster.

BUF coaching staff was so bad that the couldn't beat CLE, a team that made literally dozens of errors.

I certainly didn't call BUF well-coached. They are just much better coached than CLE.

However, I guess I can see your position. Ignore coaching. CLE is a "better team" and they should have been expected to win.

Including coaching Cleveland is a better team and did win.
Why are you confused?

because your right as if English is a second language for you
=================
Have you simply left out a comma or two?

Do you mean to say
=================
Including coaching, Cleveland is a better team, and [they] did win.

BTW, I'm NOT the grammar or spelling police. I didn't understand your post. As I have watched your posts, I find that I'm not the only one that finds them confusing.

I'm certainly glad that the "confused" icon has been added.

Yup, we can now finish 3-4 including the Bills beating us in Foxboro AND still win the AFCE ...and host a WC game.

It was how huge that loss was for the Bills yesterday.
