    This is definitely a game we lose during the early part of the season.  -2 in turnovers is a killer. Need to get moving here and they don’t need to chuck the ball deep. 

     

    This is exactly the kind of game the Bills need to pull their head out of their ass and win this late in the season.

    You have to take this seriously. We got the help we needed, there’s no showing up and just thinking you won already. Keep the hammer down and go get this somehow. Play like it’s at KC. Bring the intensity 

     

    I think this is going to be a lot closer than people think, at least early on. The extra rest and embarrassment last week is real.

    So, what are current chances of Bills getting in with wins next 2 games but falling in Mia

     

    If the Bills win the next 2 and lose to Miami the chances of making the playoffs sit at 70%.

     

    That can all change based on the results of numerous games tomorrow.

    This is a poor way of looking at it....

     

    You should be thinking, one of two scenarios to get in:

    1. Win Division: in this scenario, just need Dolphins to lose 1 of next 2.  Then we control our destiny

    2. Wild card: IF we lose to Miami, then we want as many teams with 8 losses.  Broncos, Colts, Texans, Bengals, Steelers OR Jags (someone wins the South of these 3 teams)

     

    In scenario #2, Browns winning helps us.  As they have Texans and Cincy.   Get Texans to 7 losses AND hopefully a Colts loss before final week.  Makes that last game an elimination of one of them.

     

    Cincy losing today would be amazing.  But I still see them dropping to Chiefs, then need to count on Browns.

     

    Broncos have a fairly easy schedule.  Pats might be toughest matchup for them, this week.  I see them making it in.

     

    Colts need an L against Falcons this week, or next week.

     

    Steelers are a mess.  I'd be shocked they win today, but it's their season on the line.  I can't see them beating Ravens last week of season, or the Seahawks next week.  I'd count them out.

     

    Long story short, root for Browns to knock off the "fringe" teams.

     

    I'm rooting for the Bills to control their own destiny and take a winning streak into the post-season.

    The Browns are 1 game ahead of the Bills at 9-5 and the Texans are tied at 8-6. Does Houston have the tiebreaker over Buffalo, and Buffalo the tiebreaker over Cleveland?

     

    No. But the Browns play the Bengals. And the Texans play the Colts. So only two of those four teams would be able to make it to 11-7 if the Texans beat the Browns. But if the Browns beat the Texans, then 3 teams can make it to 11-7 and eliminate the Bills.

    Weird.  At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter so not worth arguing about.  If the Bills win out, the chances are really small they don't at least get a wild card.  I am not a gambler but I am willing to bet the Dolphins will lose at least one of Ravens or Dallas anyways.  I really think we win the division if we win out.

     

    My favorite scenario is the Bills win out, win the division. Miami goes to KC, Cleveland goes to Baltimore and the Colts come to Buffalo.

    I do not think that is right.  I can't prove it at this point because the playoff machine is bugged on my browser but NYTs has us at 100% this week with a Texans loss.

     

    The NY Times has it the exact opposite for me. 99% with a Browns win. 100% with a Texans win. 

     

    Cause if the Browns won, they can still lose to the Bengals and be 11-7. And the Jags and Colts can win out. So that puts the Bills up against three other teams at 11-7.

     

    But if the Browns lose to the Texans, that means it's only possible for one of the Browns or Bengals to get to 11 wins because they play each other. 

     

    Now assume the Jags win out, the Colts or Texans will eliminate one or the other when they play. 

     

    So there's only 2 other wild card teams that can get to 11-7 if the Browns lose to the Texans.
