[Bills Playoff Picture...]

If the Bills beat the Steelers, what are the odds that they'll make the playoffs?  How do you calculate it?

 

a) Let's say the Broncos have a 90% chance to beat Indy at home since the Colts have nothing to play for.

 

b) Let's further say that the Jets have an 80% chance to beat the hapless Rams on the road.

 

The chances of both of those things happening is .90 x .80 = .72 or 72% chance.

 

Meaning, the Bills have a 100 - 72, or 28% chance of making the playoffs if they beat the Steelers.  We compute it that way because the Bills only need ONE of (a) or (b) to not occur for them to make the playoffs.

 

Now, you may quibble with the odds I assigned (although, I think they're fair, personally), but that's how you would calcuate the Bills' chances, right?

I think the Indy scrubs play shockingly well... They are a product of a good team... Don't underestimate them. I would put that game at 50%.

Even if you don't believe or think your too good, a maverick, countercultural, not a follow the crowder etc.  This is a magical season and we need all the help we can get.

[Wade Phillips STILL screwing the Bills...]

what about starting the RJ era in the wc playoff game after flutie lead the team to the playoffs after starting 0-3...great coach

Sounds like some here that want to start the JP era?

 

People will be people... The want to see future... Out with the old.

[Don't say Merry Christmas!]

The show was great, yes.

 

I didnt take what you said as a joke. If itwas, then fine.

 

Call me nuts, but I dont like being called a racist.

I never called you a racist. Archie Bunker wasn't a racist, maybe a bigot? If you watched the show, you would have noticed that even know he was slow to change, in the end, he knew what the right thing was... In short, he wasn't a very bad person. He was a loveable, devoted, honorable husband if you saw through his rough facade... A scared person.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[8.9 is a helluva big quake]

I think that the fact that this wave hit so early in the morning on a sunday, the death toll will be much higher then if it were in the middle of the day and people would have had some warning.

I just wonder how long it will be until algore holds a press conference and calls for GWB's impeachment for not supporting the kyoto treaty and therefore being the direct cause of all natural castastorphies in the past 4 years, and for the next 4 years.

Good points... Why don't we just start the impeachment proceedings first thing tommorrow? Glad to get you onboard!

All I wanna know is, what will it do to my weather?... Will it stay cold or will we have an early spring?

 

[I'm satisfied]

I agree.......I think that if we were already eliminated it would be different than being ALMOST in the playoffs.......if by chance we just don't quite make it, it's going to be heartbreaking. I'll still consider this an amazing season and be incredibly proud and optimistic, but to come sooooooooo close and then have the Broncos or Jets put the final nail in our coffin......man, that would hurt.

179329[/snapback]

 

No it wouldn't... Starting 0-4 hurt... Everything else is cake...

[Bills Playoff Picture...]

If the Rams dont win tomorrow, they are done I think and would probably lay down next week against the Jets and most likely sealing Mike Martz' fate

 

But its always better to hope that one of two teams loses instead of just one.

Yo sunshine... Let me guess, you like the Pats?

[Important Things About Today's Game...]

EiI, I make the contention that 9-2 is almost as much as one could ask for from an NFL qb. Drew is who he is.....a 32 year old qb who DOES have both limitations, and possible hall of fame credentials.

 

I dont know how the scenario will turn out, other than the fact that I will die as a fan of the Buffalo Bills football team, and that we ALL owe SDS and the mods a great deal of thanks.

 

GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do second that Bill!

 

I am still pro DB as I ever was.

Hear hear! Cheers!

Words to live by in ALL facets of life!

[Psst -- Buffalo just made the playoffs.]

Who wins the tiebreaker in the Seattle/St. Louis division? Looks like Seattle will beat AZ today and go up at least one game (St. Louis MNF).

 

St. Louis has A LOT to play for the next two games... They win tommorrow ( )... and Seattle loses next week and Rams beat the Jets... They can steal the division if they got the tie-breaker...???

 

What is it?

 

Rams have a lot to play for next week?

[Psst -- Buffalo just made the playoffs.]

Indy has an offense that depends on rythm and timing for success.  They will keep their starters in until the pull away from Denver.  In other words, we are in the playoffs because we will win and they will lose.

We only hope... My thinking exactly!

[Last 2 Seasons]

...Don't shoot me, just that I noted it.

 

Last year... The Bills open the season by beating the soon to be SB champs.

 

Wouldn't it be funny if we close the season this year by beating Pitt and they end up being SB champs?

 

Again... Consolation prize?

 

[To clearly clarify the Bills playoff chances]

Indy is a late game AT Denver... Jets early at St. Louis...

 

Come on Indy...

 

At least we have TWO shots at help.

[I Got My Excuse Made]

I forgot... The only thing that would be great in the Bills missing the playoff on a tie-breaker is:

 

NE loses to SF in NE next week.

 

 

Can you say consolation prize?

[I Got My Excuse Made]

I am not sure apologies count in the standings,

178843[/snapback]

 

I know... I just have my exuse made... It won't be DB!

 

[Psst -- Buffalo just made the playoffs.]

I hope so....but I wouldn't risk it if I were Dungy.

178834[/snapback]

 

I just believe he is billsfanone to ever getting a championship with that team if he a least doesn't play to take the lead in the game.

[I Got My Excuse Made]

If Bills win out and things don't line up for the playoffs...

 

THE REFS... GAME 1 & 2!

 

Didn't they get an apology for the OAK game?

 

I SMELL SCAPEGOAT!

 

[Psst -- Buffalo just made the playoffs.]

Losman, they have nothing to play for if NE wins. If NE loses and loses next week Indy could get homefield with a win next week.

 

But, NE is up. So, I doubt they are going to have anything to play for.

 

Funny, how things come around. Denver sat their starters in the final game of the season last year.

178821[/snapback]

 

I hear you. I think that is one reason why Buffalo never won a SB... Coasting mentality.

 

If I was Dungy and had a high power offense... I would want to keep it clicking... Save nothing.

 

Just my opinion.
