A blessing from the Crypt Keeper! Is this something we can embrace without also accepting the curse from beyond the grave?

Homer shades off, yes I believe we are playoff team.. If we can stay healthy and Fitz can be slightly above average WC should be ours.. Good running attack with solid Lines and oppurtinistic secondary.

I am slightly worried about our front heavy schedule though.. In NY than home to KC are gonna be close games.. Winning 1 is essential, for confidence and gauging us.

Hmmm...Playoffs? We'll see. I see people still are claiming we have an easy schedule this year. I don't buy that. I think several of those "easy" teams have gotten noticeably better. Initially, I had predicted us going 9-7 this year. Frankly, our offense so far in the preseason has given me cause for concern. It wouldn't shock me if we went 8-8 now.

I targeted 3 games that I think could go either way as deciding if we go or not. The most important one IMO is whether or not we beat the Titans. I figure the winner of that game likely gets the last WC spot. In addition, I also think it would be necessary to beat the Chiefs & Jaguars, teams I expect to have improved noticeably. If we lose to 1 of those 3 teams, then the only way we make it to the playoffs IMO would be by getting help from other teams along with beating the Seahawks. It's going to be a challenge, but I expect we'll be in the hunt this year!

How about this for a change: Bills becoming a popular playoff choice on ESPN.
