Jeta didnt give up much because the contract was NOT guarenteed. What I remember reading at the time of the trade was it was very low risk because of this. All they had to pay him was what he was owed last year.

Why??????? This doesn't make sense. RBs are a dime a dozen Buffalo has depth at RB His cap hit is high.... This would make more sense if the goal was getting an OL player who could help.

Thus story is flaky at best.... Saying Becker would have been just as good on buffalo is questionable at best given the offense. Bechham benefited from the QB he had. Had Watkins had Eli he would have been velar cut top WR. In the pick chart...buffalo was going all in give Wilson's death a potential new owner. They wanted to keep draft picks in 2014, thus they had to give up more in 3015 given pick uncertainty. If you look at past trades to get to the top 5 you usually need to overpay. Than what the chart says.

Buffalo likely gets a MNF game hosting Dallas or New England Thursday night game could be New England/buffalo game I think buffalo at KC has an outside shot. Thus would be the 8th consecutive treason playing each other and if buffalo was to hire Reich or the Denver OC there would be another reason to air this game.

Didn't see a thread on it.... Home....Miami, jets, patriots, Pitt/CIN loser ( Pitt if tie), Dallas, giants, Indy, Houston Away.....Miami, jets, patriots, KC, Philadelphia, Washington, Tennessee, Jacksonville (at London)

I'm fine with it...giving up the 19th pick yo trade up is well worth it. It has happened before. One year buffalo and mismi were tied for last place, mismi swept thus hot a 3rd place opponent schedule but because of a weaker SoS they picked ahead of buffalo.

Updated Assume Baltimore loses given 3 score deficit Buffalo win 2 Cincinnati lose on Monday KC beat SD or they tie Either Cincinnati or Baltimore lose next Sunday Win/lose to DEN doesn't matter...CIN/PIT would be for division title. If Indy wins out there ould be a wild card rematch of Cincinnati and Pittsburgh In the NFC Atlanta Carolina winner take all next week Philadelphia only hope...Dallas lose 2 and they win next week. If Dallas wins Seattle gets in too. The scenario on seattle...they and Dallas both lose out...Philadelphia wins the division by winning, then Seattle loses tiebreaker to Dallas. Detroit Green Bay fir division.

I had them at 9 wins...my error. Which could be the case if SD wins this afternoon.

Buffalo went 4-0 against the NFC vs PIT going 2-2.. They lose tie breaker to Pittsburgh tied at 10 wins. They lose to KC ann SD due to head to head loses They lose to Baltimore at 10-6 due to common game record. PIT and BAL win out then PI.t has the tiebreaker of division record. If PIT went WL and BALwent LW thus tied for division record, then BAL has common games record tue breaker. IF BAL went WL then division record edge goes to PIT in tie breakers.

A Pittsburgh loss would have helped and a Cleveland win would have helped. Cleveland had some tiebreaker edges in sorting teams in the division where they could end up in 2nd thus buffalo benefiting. Had Pittsburgh lost then they could behave done a chain loses among teams that eliminated each other where PI.t beat beat KC, KC beat SD, and CIB beat PIT....then PITmax at 9 wins and KC max at 9 wins....both below buffalo. Which one????? Both BUF and BAL went 4-0 against NzfC so it goes to common games Common opponents are MIA, CLE, SD, and HOU Buffalo went WL, W, L,L for 2-3 BAL has best CLE and MIA and lost to SD for 2-1.. Last 2 are common games..they split it's 3-2 Under this scenario Pittsburgh win division, Baltimore wild card at 11-5 SD by beating KC is at 10 wins but buffalo lose H2H tiebreaker.

Assuming no ties...yes KC and SD both at 9 wins and play each other in week 17 thus 10 wins Baltimore wins they have 10 wins PZiT/CIN winner will have 10 wins or more So buffalo is ties with 2 other teams at 10 wins and they lose tiebreakers to all based in conferencecrecord, and other tuebreakers

Even if buffalo wins next week they could still be eliminated next week. What does buffalo need.... Win out gorge 10-6 and only one other wilcard team at 10 wins or better. They lose tiebreakers to all: SD lose today against DEN 9.5. CIN. DEN at PIT--- lose both 9 BAL at HOU cle-- lose at least one 9. PIT. KC. CIN---win both ( for division) 8. KC. At PIT. SD --- split 9. SD. At SF at KC--lose both If KC beats Pittsburgh....and Baltimore beats Houston....then buffalo is eliminated ( assuming no ties) before they snap the ball at OAK. Why? KC/SD winner is assured of 10 wins and Baltimore has 10 wins, and PIT/CIN winner is assured of 10 wins

I dont think we get compensated for him since we didnt draft him. We should get a comp pick for Byrd. We should have gotten one for Levitre

In the NFC its a little less complicated.... Even though SF lost today they do have head to head tie breaker advantages on Dallas and Philadelphia due to beating both. Dallas and Philadeklphia are alos hurt by having gone undefeated against the AFC which will hurt them on conference tiebreakers. If SF and DET were tied for a tie at 10-6 it could get into the deeper tiebreakers of strenght of victory and strength of schedule.If DEt beats CHI and ends up 10-6 they will have the tiebreaker based on common game record. If Detroit stays within one game of GB before week 17 rematch then that game would be for the division. Seattle at Arizona in week 16 also looks like it will be for the division. Based on H2H Dallas over Seattle Seattle over Philadelphia Arizona beat Dallas Arizona beat Philadelphia SF beat Dallas SF beat Philadelphia Seattle beat GB Arizona beat Detroit Green Bay beat Philadelphia

The updated playoff picture. division leaders: New England, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Denver San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore have 8 wins Buffalo, Miami, Cleveland, Kansas city, and houston have 7 wins How can Buffalo make the playoffs......assuming Buffalo wins out..... In order to win the division they need New England to lose to Miami and the Jets, Miami to lose to either Minnesota or the Jets, To get a wild card......Buffalo wins out and: 1. miami to lose 1 2 houston to lose 1 and: 3 of these 4: A. Cincinati to lose 2 B Baltimore to lose 2 C Pittsburgh to lose 2 D Cleveland to lose 1 either: and: D San diego to lose 2 E Kansas City to lose 1 In plan english. Buffalo finishes 10-6, Miami at 9-7. In the AFC North all non division winners have less than 10 wins Houston is 9-7 and the 3rd place team in the AFC west has less than 10 wins. the other option is the 2nd place in the AFC north can have 10 wins, but the AFC West 2nd place team has less than 10 wins. schedules remaining: NE MIA jets BUF BUF GB oak ne MIA ne MIN JETS CIN cle DEN pit BAL JAX hou CLE PIT atl KC CIN CLE CIN car balt IND hou DAL tenn HOU indy BALT JAX DEN sd cin OAK SD DEN sf kc KC OAK pit SD on paper San Diego and Cincinnati have difficult schedules left its a real possiblity they end up with less than 10 wins. Pittsburgh also has a difficult schedule Ideally you want KC and SD to end up both 9-6 and they play each other where the winner gets one wild card. Even better---SD ends up 8-7 playing at 9-6 KC and beat them. Another scenario to pay attention to..... Cleveland winning out at 10-6...they could have the tiebreaker advantages at 10-6 on both Pittsburgh and Baltimore.. Cincinnati would end up 10-5-1 for the division, then the rest end up 10-6...Clevelenad would get 2nd place. Then Buffalo would have the tiebreaker advantage on Cleveland. If buffalo and clevalnd are tied at 10-6 both in 2nd place and SD or KC was alone in 2nd at 10-6 (other at 9-7), then KC/Sd get seed 5 because of better conference record. Buffalo gets #6 due to H2H win over Cleveland.

RG 1+1+1 mod 3 = 0

If Pittsburgh wins out they are ahead of Cincinnati...4 wins put them at 11-5 and by beating Cincy twice limits then to only a 10-5-1 record.

There is no certainty ....why Buffalo lose a lot of tiebreakers with teams. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Kansas City ( 2 win their division)all can end up at 11-5 and buffalo loses to all of them for the wild card.

You actually want to root for the Dolphins....A Dolphins win will give Buffalo the third tiebreaker of common games. A miami win puts them at a noncommon record of 2-0 (along with New england) while Buffalo is 1-1 from there all you need is the Dolphins to lose a divisional game and not go 5-1 If buffalo and Miami were to win out then Miami would be 1st at 11-5, Buffalo in 2nd at 11-5 and New England in 3rd at 11-5. If Miami lose an additional game (Jets or Minnesota) then Buffalo wins the division. If Mia was to lose to NE then nyou need NE lose a different game like this weekend at San diego. If Baltimore was to win...then that put Miami at 1-1 in noncommon. Then if Miami and Buffalo were to end up tied, Miami would likely have the tiebrekers. As of right now a better divisional record, they would split H2H and common games. Miami would have a better conference record by going 1-2 against the NFC to BUF 3-0

Really isn't correct.... Buffalo has h2H tiebreaker on Cleveland. At the end of the season if Pittsburgh and buffalo are tied Pittsburgh will get it because of better conference record= worse record against NFC. Buffalo is 3-0 now, Pittsburgh 1-2 so buffalo is certain to have better NFC record thus worse AFC record. With Baltimore...Baltimore went 4-9 against NFC, buffalo is 3-0. If buffalo beats Green Bay and also goes 4-0 then it's common game tiebreaker which Baltimore likely wins. Buffalo went 2-3 while Baltimore is 2-1 with 2 to play. If buffalo lose to Green Bay, then they get the tie breaker with a better conference record, because they have a worse NFC record. It's very easy....I see Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and KC going 9-7.. San Diego could given their tough schedule.

AFC Team schedules: ( not counting den/KC, Mia/jets) Buffalo. At Denver, Green Bay, at Oakland , at New England New England. At San Diego, Miami, at jets, buffalo Miami Baltimore, At New England, Minnesota, at jets Cincinnati. Pitt, at cle, den, at Pitt Baltimore at Miami, jax, at Houston, Cleveland Pittsburgh. At CIN, at ATL, KC , CIN Cleveland. Indy, cin, at Carolina, at Balt Indy. At cle, HOU, at Dallas, at Tennessee Houston at jax, st Indy, Balt, jax Denver. Buffalo, at San Diego, at Cincy , Oakland San Diego. New England, Denver, at SF at KC Kansas City. At Arizona, Oakland, at Pittsburgh, San Diego

They played some games without him earlier in the season and they did fine. Sure Palmer is better but the team is still decent.

Denver. At KC, buffalo, at San Diego, at cincinati, Oakland San Diego New England, Denver, at Sf, At KC KC. Denver, at AZ, Oakland, at Pittsburgh, San Diego You want SD to beat NE

It doesn't matter as much. If they beat KC it's a season sweep thus a 3 game edge on KC which could keep Denver not falling to 3rd. Then we need to root fir SD. Bills bear Denver...Denver at San Diego in a few weeks would give Denver the other loss. If they lose that gives them the 1st loss then KC is tied with them then you need to root fir KC to take the division then hope Denver beats SD to sweep season series which could make it for Denver to be 2nd.

Only for now. Miami goes ahead with a win on Monday. Miami would be ahead of them because buffalo is 3-2 in division vs Miami 3-1.. Better win pct and better record potential. If buffalo and Baltimore win out Baltimore would be ahead of buffalo due to common games.
