  1. Difference between cocky and confident.  It's one thing for a Miami fan to be confident they win out.  They're fans.  We're doing the same thing.  To believe they're going to roll the Ravens and Bills is something else altogether.

    That literally makes no sense

     

    What's the incentive for winning the division? The only incentive is one guaranteed home game

     

    I agree.  I didn't propose it.  I just remember it being talked about.  At the time it was only if divisional rivals met, and the WC swept the division winner.  And again, it was just talk.  The idea being that if, say, Buffalo swept Miami and then met in the playoffs, the Bills would have earned the home game against Miami despite not winning the division by virtue of beating them twice already.  Again, this isn't *my* proposition, and I did not agree with the idea back then when it was being discussed.  Nothing came from it though.

    Hypotheitcal question about the miami game... let's say miami beats Baltimore and has the divison locked up heading into the last week.  And also the bills locked up a playoff spot after beating new England. 

     

    A buffalo win In week 18 would almost certainly mean the 6th seed and a matchup @ kansas city.  Or a loss to Miami and bills finish as the 7th seed at Baltimore.  Which would you prefer?

     

    I don't like going into the playoffs off a loss.  I'd rather a Week 18 win outright.

  4. For those wondering, I do recall talk some awhile back about some kind of rule where if divisional rivals meet in the playoffs, the division winner would have to go to the Wild Card if that Wild Card did better against the division winner, or something like that.  But nothing ever came from those talks.

  5. Ravens beat the Dolphins and we win out, Baltimore will have the #1 seed by virtue of better record.  Buffalo will at worst be tied with *just* KC, giving us the tie-breaker due to head-to-head.  The AFC South champ will be at least one game back of us.  So, yeah, we almost control our own destiny to the #2 seed.  We win out and the Ravens beat the Dolphins, #2 is ours.

  6. Why not both?  Specifically, why not both coordinators?  Our D Coordinator was a known commodity and had to go.  He didn't even alter the game plan that got them lit up on the opening drive against Cincy in the regular season.

     

    On the other side, a lot of people weren't happy with Dorsey.  But the common thought was, it was his first season.  So he kinda got a pass, where Frazier did not.  Sadly, given more time, he did not improve, so he had to go too.

  7. Strange as it sounds, BUF could actually take the #2 seed in the AFC.  They can't pass BAL, as BAL would have the better win % in shared games.

     

    However, if MIA drops one of their next two and we win out, we take the East.  From there KC, JAX, IND and HOU all need to lose one.  That puts us in a tie with KC alone (and we have the head-to-head), while putting us a game ahead of JAX/IND/HOU.  If all that happens, BUF becomes the #2 seed in the AFC.

  8. Too many people jumped the gun and demaned he be fired into the sun immediately as, to them, it was obvious he was a monster before the matter was even looked into.  It was so bad anyone who even so much as hinted they should look into it before getting rid of him was a horrible person for defending a monster such as him.  The Bills had no choice, people were going to burn the stadium down if they didn't immediately fire him.

     

    And a ton of people got a valuable lesson on the dangers of The Court of Public Opinion.

    Nothing ironic about it. The Bills put themselves in this spot by losing games to teams they shouldn’t - Pats, Denver , Jets. The Dolphins, up until their meltdown vs TEN had handled the lesser teams consistently. The Bills have a shot at the division now, but very little margin for error. The Fish have a tough schedule , but can afford a couple losses. Should be interesting down the stretch. 

     

    Well, I meant ironic as in the full three game swing.  We could be a game back, tied, or a game ahead, and it would all still come down to that game.  The result of us winning the first one, and them having the better division record.
