Really? That's surprising to me if true.

I know our last three are easy. But from week 8 to week 14, it's tough sledding.

currently on the outside looking in, and yes lots of games to be played, but the only two WC teams now ahead of the Bills (Broncos and Ravens) have much more difficult remaining games and all the Broncos wins have come against <.500 team so far. In fact, the Bills have beaten more >.500 teams than the Ravens and Broncos combined.

We should lose maybe 5 more (Pats, Seahawks, Steelers, Bengals, Raiders) and finish at 9-7 and hopefully make the playoffs.

Going into week 6 is always a bit too early to be talking about the playoff picture. For example, the Falcons were 5-0 going into week 6 last year and looking like a favorite for the playoffs. With that said, it's always FUN to talk about the playoffs and it makes the season more exciting as we ponder all the possibilities. I am really pulling for the Bills to snap that playoff drought, just not at the expense of the Broncos! With that defense they have a legit shot. Especially since they managed to sneak in a win against the Patriots before Brady returned. And let's not kid ourselves: Brady is good but he's not invincible and Rex Ryan has had his moments against him. A sweep of the Pats would be pretty hard, but not impossible since the next one is in Buffalo.

Another long-time playoff drought that may be snapped this year is the Raiders. I'm a skeptic of their defense, but you can't deny they keep finding ways to win.

If we lose to all five of those teams we won't deserve playoffs this year. Even 4-1 wouldn't be deserving IMO.

It just depends. If all the other bubble teams drop that many games too then the Bills wouldn't be so undeserving.

They looked really great today. The defense was allowing some yardage but when it mattered, they shut down the drive or held them to 3 points. The offense is about 90% Lesean McCoy, which is scary.

Trip to Miami next week and it is a must win. The Bills have beaten all three of their NFC opponents thus far, but only one AFC opponent. The Miami game will be so crucial.

Great win. Its sad to see how far the Niners have fallen. From one of the model franchises to one of the worst in the league. I used to be a Niners fan in the Walsh era and they were a blast to watch with all those different formations. With their ownership change in 2000 they have been awful except for the Harbaugh era and you know what they did with him. Hard to believe they won 5 Super Bowls. Miami looked good against the Steelers and won't be the walkover I thought it would be plus its a lot hotter there and they are used to it and we aren't. The next 7 will be interesting and I am hoping we can at least win 3 or 4 hopefully more. We will see how good we are against some better teams.

Buffalo really dominated San Francisco. That was an impressive win. Bills now are 4-2. Their divisional opponents, Patriots and Dolphins won today as well and Jets play Arizona tomorrow night.
