If he plays all of 16 games, yes. If he's sitting week 17 because there's no need to risk injury, he will probably miss many of those records.
If we beat the steelers I don't see us not competing for the 2 seed right through week 17.

Another bucs related wish would be the giants ending tom bradys season again in a huge round 1 upset lol

I don't see the Chiefs losing again until we beat them in the AFC Championship game at their place, but that's ok.
All wins count the same in the standings but the chiefs haven't really looked like themselves recently

Giants have also been playing better.
I live in Giants territory and they've actually been playing pretty decent all year they were just losing very close games. Took the bucs right down to the wire and they were a horrible Evan engram drop away from sweeping the eagles. Their defense has played pretty well could be an interesting game with the browns

Jefferson is already very good at running routes (not as good as Diggs). He is better in the Red Zone. He is cheaper and has more potential than Diggs. I'm not saying Diggs is bad by any means I'm not. This is a rare situation where you traded for a top 10 WR and traded away the pick that went towards a WR that will probably will be a top 5 WR in 2 years (he's that talented). Jefferson is going to finish the season with: 80 catches, 1300 yards and 10 TDs. Those are crazy numbers! Only Boldin and Moss will finish with better rookie seasons.
Its pretty difficult to compare receivers on two different teams in two completely different offensive systems I feel like. It would be hard to call this anything but a win win for both teams. We were closer to our window of competing and wanted an established wr...rookie wide outs usually take awhile to develop so we may have not wanted to take a risk on any of the guys available in the draft.

Lamar with a brutal over throw. If that was a Josh Allen pass it would already be a viral meme.
I think if your first season as a starting qb is good and you play on a team that these sports writers care about you earn yourself quite a few years of excuses rather than criticism 🤣

Question. If you caught a receiver in the end zone on a hail mary and you physically carried him out of bounds before he got two feet down, would that be an incomplete pass?
Now that there's no force out rule i think so haha I think catching a grown man in the air and carrying him a couple of yards against his will would be pretty difficult though 🤣

Or Jacksonville in 2017 or the Giants in 2007.
Jacksonville was a ridiculous stefon gilmore pass deflection away from going to the Super Bowl. Just get to the playoffs and anyone can go on a run. There really isn't a dominant team this year and even these next level teams like the chiefs are beatable

Maybe past staffs and players did. No body on this team does
I wouldnt even say we were bad against big ben...the steelers were so much more talented than us not too long ago it wasn't like we were expected to hang with them and just didn't show up 🤣

I dont like to get ahead of ourselves but where do you think we go if we beat the Steelers 😁

Per Operations.NFL website
To determine home-field priority among division titlists, apply wild card tiebreakers.
TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after a third club or other clubs are eliminated, the tiebreaker reverts to step 1 of the applicable two-club format.)
- Apply the division tiebreaker to eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tiebreaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two wild card participants.
- Head-to-head sweep (applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others)
- Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference
- Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four
- Strength of victory
- Strength of schedule
- Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed
- Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed
- Best net points in conference games
- Best net points in all games
- Best net touchdowns in all games
- Coin toss
#1 we're beyond as only one club per division tied
#2 doesn't work as Pitt didn't play KC
#3 all tied
#4 doesn't count as not a minimum of 4 games
#5 So does this mean the Bills win the tie breakers because of strength of victory?
Strength of victory is the composite record of the teams that the team in question has defeated.
Kind of makes sense the Bills would win that one as played the AFC & NFL west while Pitt played NFC east and AFC south and KC played AFC east which besides Bills and Miami isn't that strong and NFC south which again has two good and two weak teams though would think the last 4 games on the schedules of all three of these teams could change that?
Yup its strength of victory...looks like all three teams need 4 common games for that to matter. I thought maybe they'd still eliminate one out of two with that but it doesn't work like that apparently lol were in good shape for strength of victory unless the chiefs beat the saints and end up with 3 losses somehow

The seven team playoff format is a disgrace and a shameful money grab. The #2 seed bye gave meaning to the regular season. Hope the owners come to their sense in the off-season and strike it down like they did the two bye-week season of the early 90s.
I wonder how many years we wouldve snuck in as the 7 seed...we never deserved it so ive gotta agree with you

They would NOT have the tie breaker over us in this scenario. A 3 way tie between us, the Steelers and Chiefs at 13-3 gives us the top seed and first round bye. Tie breakers are different when it's a 3 way tie as opposed to two teams
It comes down to strength of victory...if the chiefs somehow beat the saints and lose to the chargers or something like that they would be the 1 seed in a three way tie.

This is exactly what happens...I spent more time than id like to admit looking at this unlikely scenario 🤣 the bills better win out now haha
-
I've been looking at strength of victory and we are in the driver's seat for that as well if its coming down to that...im sure I made a few counting errors but I used teams current records assuming steelers lose to only us and Cleveland and the chiefs losing to the dolphins and saints and us winning out and we are at 76-87 W-L in victories, steelers are at 70-92-1, and chiefs are at 67-95. Shame we had to play the winless jets twice 😁 our strength of victory would be quite impressive otherwise

But states you have to have a minimum of 4 common games, I only see three games we have in common. Chiefs are 3-0 2 wins against Denver plus Bills; Pitt 1-1, Beat Denver, lost to us
; Bills 1-1 lost to KC, beat Denver So then goes to Strength of Victory??
Don't see how as all three would have a total of two conference losses, Bills to KC and Tenn; KC to Miami and Raiders; Pitt to Bills and Cleveland. All three have one NFC loss .
If the Chiefs loss instead of the Saints was to Chargers, then we'd win it, but the OP listed it as Chiefs losing to Saints as 3rd loss.
There may be something wrong with site to as I flipped instead had Chiefs beat Saints, but lose to Falcons and number went down to 97% which is strange as it shouldn't make any difference if 3rd loss by Chiefs was to either Saints or Falcons as both non conference so something weird going on. It's also possible this site never updated changes for this year and thinks the top two seeds both get byes, then it would correct as site is NOT stating we have the overall #1 seed, it's just stating we'd have a first round bye.
For a team to factor into the common opponents tiebreaker they have to have 4 common games played but im pretty sure you can still eliminate 1 of the 2 teams based on that tiebreaker without Pitt factoring in. The head to head rule between three teams specifically says you can't only consider two teams out of three and the rest of the rules don't say that . Im not 100% sure though. If thats not true it would come down to strength of victory. Nfl.com playoff machine has us in at a three way tie at 13-3 also

Fivethirtyeight.com has them with just a 14% chance of making the playoffs. They need to win out, for starters.
I'm hoping the Rams just put them out of their misery this Sunday, but I have a feeling the Pats win that one.They seem like the worst matchup for us and I dont feel confident seeing Bill belichick for a third time...despite their shortcomings on paper. I think we'd win a majority of games we played against them but we just don't stop the run well enough/ make enough plays on their defense to win comfortably

Are we rooting against the Ravens tonight? Or do we want them in the playoffs.
Who do you think they would keep out of the playoffs? Id rather see Baltimore than Tennessee i think but otherwise I wouldn't want Baltimore in

Just saw the forecast. High of 48 40% chance of rain with 10-20 mph winds. 31 degrees the following day, which could come early.
I really enjoy watching this team play in a dome. It’s gonna take while, we should get moving on this.
I think bad weather hurts the steelers more tbh...they don't run the ball either and ben is not half as athletic as Josh right now

yeah, also I think the bills would have had a better chance if they were still undefeated. Now Tomlin is pissed off they lost the the WFT, and it’s going to probably amp up practiceAmp up practice when they're playing their 3rd game in 11 days with all their guys banged up? Lol I think this 'teams coming out angry and playing better because they lost' thing is an absolute myth. Good teams don't lose two in a row often because the odds of them losing even one in a row is pretty low 🤣

Seems like our players have gotten a lot better at not jumping on Josh's hardcounts lol that was a huge issue not too long ago

Another thing about this game was his start. There have been times when he is visibly nervous at the start of big games and it shows in his throws. He came out confident and shmokin!
I'm not in his brain obviously but im not sure nervous is the right word...I think he comes out jacked up to have a big game and gets a little overexcited when hes got a guy open and is about to make a big play. Dude looks as confident as anybody to me even when he's making mistakes lol

The way to slow down the Bills offesne is to get good pressure and really affect Allen. The Steelers can do that. But I think the Bills can definitely go toe to toe with these guys and win. Will probably come down to penalties and turnovers.....
Thats really the way to slow down any offense...get pressure on the qb without sending extra guys. Allens got that escapability though where you've gotta be really disciplined in keeping contain and is capable of a big play in any situation. Seems like teams have been trying to use that to their advantage and flush josh out of the pocket hoping he'll play hero ball and make a mistake and it just did not happen in that 49ers game. Limiting Brian Winters on field time seems to be the key to victory every week 🤣

I think so. We’re facing 4 pretty darn good defenses to end the season (New England might be the WORST of the four, honestly), but we know Allen and company are up to the challenge
New England may be the worst on paper but they are the most likely to put some unexpected wrinkles in that stump us id say
-
I was always skeptical of teams having 'extra motivation after being mad at a loss' but what do I know ive spent 0 minutes in an nfl locker room 🤣 its just as likely the next week's opponent now has the blueprint on your weaknesses
Would a win Sunday be the biggest win in recent memory?

The media will stop calling the steelers a top team if we beat them lol even if we win out the big question will be 'yea but can they beat the chiefs?' and no one will pick us in that matchup 🤣
