    Lions, Jaguars, Seahawks - all 'winnable' games.

    I think we need to take all three. Even then it might still come down to the Dolphins game. With White and a few other key performers banged up, this is going to be a tall order.

    I can see us going 2-1 and having a win-and-in situation in the last week of the season. What does everyone else think?

    Every games been critical. Its been a fun year, as it should have been. Because we are all in this year, and will start declining next year.

    We gotta make the playoffs.

    I'd love to go 3-0, but I see 2-1 as more likely given our history of losing winnable games.

    The home games are must wins. So, they need to be 9-6 in 10 days. They will need at least one more win as I doubt 9 wins gets you in. 10 wins might get them in, but we will have to see how the AFC plays out. Jets might have to run the table to get in. Who knows? For tonight it can start with a Cardinals win over the Pats. Next Saturday night a Bills win over the Dolphins would be very helpful.

    I agree, but things get magnified as the games start to run out!

    i think my main point is, we are good enough to win these three, and the question is whether we take this chance.

    My fear is the late season swan dive...

    Still better than an early season swan dive we've done for a decade.

    Psychologically... the late season collapse seems more cruel... :(

    Well in this particular case I don't think of it as a "collapse" since I didn't expect them to be where they're at right now, so it's not cruel. I can say that being out of things by October every year was maddening.

    I think we win all 3 games. Proud of these guys for the most part either way

    Whats kind of neat about the next three games is the DROY race is heating up. We got Sauce going against Hutch, who we play this week, and Woolen in 3 weeks. And Travon Walker as an outside shot in between. It will be fun to see who steps up and claims the award.

    This point last season Buffalo was 7-6. Still plenty of time left to have a great season

    Wait, why would the Jets start declining? They are so young. They should only get better for years to come. Probably won't be an All-In team until 2024.
