I mean, I don't think it's an overreaction to
be confident that the Bills will still make the playoffs
. I think it's an overreaction to take them at
minus 300 to make the playoffs. I mean this
is a team that lost has lost to Jacksonville.
Um so we know that like the Bills aren't the
dominant force that they were last year and really,
I don't know how shocked we should be. I
mean the Bills are, we're a young team,
you know that they're coming off like an almost dream
season where they made this huge jump and it's always
hard to follow up on those years. So um
, at the same time, like I think the
Bills will make the playoffs. I just don't want
to bet it at minus 300. You're correct in
saying, I think that the comeback, the fact
that the Bills were able to score some points against
the tough buccaneers defense, I think that will give
them confidence going forward. But man, this is
a dogfight there. And now, I mean there
are multiple teams who get hot and the Bills put
up one more stinker lost. This team has done
so for this year anyways. No, I wouldn't
take this bet. But I still would, I
still think the Bill will get there. Okay,
pierce good news is three of their last four games
come at home against teams with losing records. But
the bad news is that other game comes in New
England, that's fine. Three and one will be
good enough. They could possibly go four and o
as well. It's only really an overreaction if you
thought this was an elite top tier team and we
talked about this the last couple of weeks. This
defense was highly overrated because they played an easy schedule
. They were able to get up on teams by
several touchdown scores and then they made their opponents play
one dimensionally and they won those games in games that
they had to play close and had to defend against
the pass and the run well, they've lost all
those games. This defense is just not as good
as people thought now that they realize it's just nok
defense and then with that just okay defense, you
have a one dimensional offense. They can't run the
ball. They gave the ball to the running back
seven times yesterday. Now with their scheduled, they're
probably going to be able to make that work become
january in february. If you don't have a run
game and you have a defense that's borderline suspect.
I mean josh Allen is going to have to be
just run completely hot and perfect and I don't see
that happening. Yeah. And jules pierce makes a
good point here. Me Allen's in a walking boot
now too. He hasn't been consistent. The running
game's disappeared and the defense has lacked a bite at
times despite the strength overall. Yeah. Look,
the Bills aren't as good as we thought they were
coming into the year or um, as they were
early in the year when they were winning these games
, they had a really soft schedule and eventually some
bad teams snuck up on them. Um The prime
example being not scoring a touchdown and losing to the
Jacksonville jaguars. So it's a high and they can
also win on in Kansas City on monday night on
sunday night football. Although that was when the Chiefs
were still kind of getting things together. So this
is about as low floor high ceiling of a team
as you could ask for. Like they could come
undone and miss the playoffs. They could conceivably win
the NFC. I don't think they will. Um
But yeah, the bottom line is I'm like I'm
like Jeff said there-300 make playoffs. Yes,
I think they're gonna make the playoffs. No,
I'm not confident enough to lay-300. There's really
nothing you can bet for the Bills right now in
the futures market. I don't want to get him
to miss the playoffs either. The division with that
loss, you know, big game coming up for
the patriots on saturday and indie, but the division
is going to be really tough for Buffalo to get
, especially with that last game being in Foxboro.
So I'm just passing on everything. Bills. Mhm
