This may be a moot point at the end of the year but suppose instead of beating Buffalo, we would have beaten the Patriots and lost to the Bills.

Now an even more hypothetical situation, suppose NE loses 1 more game than us going into the final week of the season so that we were only 1 game out of 1st.

This would mean we would control our own destiny going into the last game of the season.

If the same scenario plays out now (NE having a 1 game lead going into the last week of the season), we'll be seeing Flutie or Cassel as QB.

I'm still hoping (dreaming) that we can somehow make it to the last week of the season tied w/ the Pats with the division on the line but even if we don't, I'm still hoping we go 9-7 or at worse 8-8.

Yeah, beating New England instead of Buffalo would have helped us out seemingly. However, even in that case the odds are against us getting in. What really gets me is that we should have beaten Buffalo, New York, and New England earlier in the year. We blew coverages, fumbled and intercepted our way out of those games. But they were all close. Had we somehow pulled them out, we would be looking at a team that would be 8-4 right now. Oh well.

I am just happy how the team responded after quitting against Cleveland. If we finish 7-9 or better I will be happy. It would show improvement and also show that we could hold our own in December, which has long been our demise.
