Yes, but will that not be much easier to do with a Dolphins loss today? They win and we're back to the 5th seed

Unless you feel winning out is going to be a breeze we don't have total and firm control over the East, either. Not saying it can't happen, but what have you seen from the Bills level of play that suggests it is likely? I just don't see why we're worrying more about KC than Miami at this moment. Let's say they win today but we take them down in Buffalo - there's still plenty of possibilities where we could lose the division. If the Dolphins lose today and we beat them (and the Jets), then I'll turn my focus to KC

Because we have to secure our division first and that is far from a guarantee at this point. Everyone seems to be assuming that winning out is an easy task. The Chiefs losing makes no difference if we finish 2nd in the East

Good question. The 3rd tiebreaker after head to head and division record is common games. Buffalo and Miami share 8 common games this year: Miami: Ravens W Bengals L Vikings L Steelers W Lions W Bears W Browns W Packers (home) Buffalo: Ravens W Steelers W Packers W Vikings L Browns W Lions W Bears (away) Bengals (away) Thus far the Bills are 5-1 in common games while Miami is 5-2, so Buffalo has a very slight edge. If the Bills split with Chicago and Cincinnati and Miami beats the Packers, we would then move to the 4th tiebreaker, conference record. Both the Bills and Miami are currently 6-2. Miami has @LAC, @BUF, @NE, and NYJ. Buffalo has NYJ, MIA, @CIN, and NE. Again, a slight edge for the Bills but ALL of our potential advantages are predicated on the Bills beating Miami in Buffalo. Should the Bills lose, they will likely need some serious help to win the division (and I recognize that your question assumes the Bills will win out in their division games). 5th and 6th tiebreakers are strength of victory and strength of schedule. If it got that far, Buffalo would be nearly certain to have the edge based on current numbers (Miami SOV .423, SOS .496, while Buffalo is SOV .475 and SOS .537).

I can confirm it's not a worry -

It may not have been roughing and a first down, but not even running into? Ridiculous -
The Bills may very well be in trouble in the division, but the odds of them missing the playoffs are small. 3-3 will get them in no matter who the wins and losses come against. There's basically 9 teams in play for the 7 spots. A Bills victory against the Pats tonight would essentially drop that list to 8. They're getting in as a wild card at worst

7 or 8 games huh? Yeah, they were awful against the Ravens, Steelers, and Chiefs

Dawkins is by far the the least of our problems on the Oline. Can't even tell if this is serious

My fantasy football team name is OBJYN

Yep he is such an indispensable player for us. Dion has to be one of the most underrated tackles in the league
