    How are we the #6 seed? I'm confused

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by estro613

    I just saw an image on NBC after the Ravens loss to the Steelers showing us as the current #6 seed for the playoffs.  

     

    How is that so?

     

    3 way tie between Ravens, Bills and Chargers all with a record of 7-6

    Bills and Ravens both 5-4 in AFC, Chargers 4-5...so the Chargers are out

     

    Now next tie breaker is common games (minimum of 4)

     

    Ravens:

    CIN - Win

    OAK - Win

    MIA - Win

     Games Left vs. IND & @CIN

     

    Bills: 

    CIN - Loss

    OAK - Win

    IND - Win

      Games Left vs. MIA & @MIA

     

    So Ravens are currently 3-0 in common games w/ 2 left & the Bills are 2-1 w/ 2 games left

     

    So shouldn't the Ravens be in over us?

    What am I missing?  Someone who understands this please explain, I'm confused.

     

    Should we try to trade Shaq?

    Shaq looks like just the same as he did coming out of Clemson.  A slow off the line, run stuffing DE.  He will never live up to the hype of a 1st rd. pick because he will never be a good pass rusher in the NFL.  He is much too slow and is extremely slow off the snap.  I remember watching a Matt Waldman film breakdown of Shaq headed into his years draft and the one main takeaway was how ridiculously slow he was off the snap.  There were screenshots of many plays where every single Clemson D-lineman was well out of their stance and pushing into the backfield while Shaq wasn't even out of his 3 point stance yet.

    Bills love Sam Darnold?

    I like the idea of staying put and taking QB, Mike White, from Western Kentucky with one of our top 4 picks, rather than trading away most of our picks for Darnold.  I don't think he's the can't miss prospect the media would have you believe.  He turns the ball over way too much and doesn't wow me with his accuracy or arm strength enough to feel confident in giving away a boatload to get him.

    Rushing yards tomorrow?

    I think Peterman is going to open up the passing game.  Maybe not immediately  but once he shows he can hit the slant, hit the comebacks, hit the out routes teams aren't going to be able to load the D to stop the run like they've been able to do against Tyrod.

     

    I like the prospects of our offense surprising tom. both in the pass and run game.  I could easily see 230 passing and 150 rushing.

    McCoy sounds very unhappy about the switch

    I live in southern NJ.  After the Broncos game I flew back to Philadelphia on Monday afternoon, to my surprise McCoy was siting across the aisle from me.  After we got deplaned, I caught up with McCoy and we talked Bills on the walk to baggage claim.  I was surprised with how honest and candid he was.  He was pretty frustrated with the inability to get the run game going.  I mentioned it's tough to run when the D is stacking the box and not respecting the QB's passing skills.  He didn't throw Taylor under the bus in anyway, but he also didn't disagree with the sentiment.  I went on to talk about the fact that the Bills will be spinning their tires until they find a true signal caller that defenses fear when throwing the ball.  I got the impression I wasn't the only person in that conversation that agreed.

     

    I don't think Shady is or should be too upset.  I expect his success to open up as a result of the offense being in the proper rythym under Peterman.

    Just now, The Frankish Reich said:

    We know what the league thinks of Tyrod ... "backup." That's why the Bills were able to re-sign him (after declining his option year) without serious competition.  Did we hear any talk at all of any other NFL team interest in him coming in as a starter?

    No you're right.  His agent was free to shop Tyrod and they couldn't find better than the $14.5M the Bills offered him in '17.  That's why Tyrod came back an signed his deal which was a large paycut.  Good job by the Bills there by sticking to their value. 

     

    The Bills owe Tyrod $16M in cash in '18 if they decide to keep him.  At that price I don't think they will & I don't see Tyrod accepting a 2nd paycut in as many yrs., esp. if the Bills find a way to sneak into the playoffs as the #6 seed.

    There's something else going on with Mike Schopp's blinding support of Tyrod.  IMO, Mike is well informed and very smart when it comes to his football takes, but he is so far off the mark with Tyrod that I think there's more to it, I honestly do.  What is it?  Not sure.

     

    I called in to the show today to talk about the Bills 3 and out percentage and the Bills 1st downs per play over the last 3 years under Tyrod & how the Bills rank close to the bottom of the league.  Does Tyrod stink?  No.  Is Tyrod good? No.  He's somewhere between below avg. & avg. in my book.  Schopp thinks he's good or nice as he says.  I think, based on what I've heard him say, Bulldog is more in my camp.....very avg.

     

    Schopp actually said Tyrod is in the same class of QB's as Matt Ryan and Alex Smith.   Like I said I think there's something else going on with his blindless support of Tyrod because comments like that are just silly.  32 out of 32 GM's & 32 out of 32 HC's would all choose Matt Ryan over Tyrod Taylor, so to say Tyrod is essentially just as capable of a QB is just false.   

    Who's looking like our competition for the wild card spots?

    I happen to believe the Jaguars & Titans will both lock up playoff spots, 1 as the AFC South winner the other as 1 of the Wildcard teams.  They both sit at 5-3, and while I don't think either team is all that good, they both have relatively soft schedules down the stretch and I expect 9 or 10 wins out of both of them.

     

    That leaves 1 spot for the likes of Buffalo, Miami, Baltimore, Oakland, New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers & the Bengals.  After 17 yrs. of missing the playoffs and terrible offenses I'm not holding my breath that this is the yr. the Bills will make it.
