Just to mess with our "lose now crowd". :laugh
The NY Giants ended their 2010/2011 campaign at 10-6 and missed the playoffs. The following year the Giants struggled mightily and at the same point of the season (game 13) of the 2011/2012 campaign they sat with a 7-6 record and just having ended a 4-game losing streak. Game 14 was a loss and put them at 7-7.
We finished last year also at 10-6 and are currently 6-7. A win in Buffalo will give us also a 7-7 record.
If we beat the Bills we have to win our last two games - just like the Giants back in 2011/2012 - to get to 9-7 and possibly make the playoffs. And just like we face the Bills twice and have to end their playoff hopes in the last 3 weeks the Giants faced their division rivals Cowboys twice in the last 4 weeks to end the Cowboys playoff hopes in order to go to the playoffs themselves.
A 9-7 record is mediocre at best so the "lose now crowd" rather loses out for draft picks and hopes we lose every game because how crappy is that: entering the playoffs at 9-7.
Though sometimes a little win streak at that right moment (end of season) can go a long way in the playoffs. Who knows maybe, just maybe, we hit our high at the right moment.
Oh did I mention that the 2011/2012 Giants were a #6 seed at 9-7 and beat Atlanta (13-3), Packers (11-5) and 49ers (11-4-1) on the road to beat the Patriots (12-4) in the Superbowl.
Any given Sunday......
