    The dude is the best backup QB in the league. He’s on the last year of his contract in Miami and a UFA next year.

     

    Bring this fan favorite back to win a ring next year...after we win the first one this season. 😉

     

    An upgrade for sure.

    But expensive and the Bills have more pressing needs for those cap dollars.

    Also Fitz may prefer an option where he sees more potential game time.

    Barkley seems to have a nice chemistry going with the team.  Let's see him in action in week 17.

    My Christmas wish list...

    KC loses out and Steelers and Bill's win out!

    Yes I know thats a lot to ask.  But in a 3-way tie KC would be first out as they would have worst division record at 4-2.  Steelers and Bill's both 5-1. That would drop KC out.  Then it reverts to a two way tiebreaker....Bills have head to head over Steelers. 

    Sorry Dafan.  The tiebreaker doesn't work that way when determining seedings.  

    Divisional records would be disregarded to separate teams with same win/loss records playing in different Divisions inside the AFC.

    Fromm isnt winning a playoff game dude, the poor guy hasnt had a single live rep as a pro, and hasnt even run our starting offense in practice.

     

    I guess he could have a longshot if we were home with crowd noise helping our defense and we win a super low scoring game, but vs a playoff team in a quiet stadium it would be ugly.

     

    I agree with the earlier poster, give Barkley the work to knock the rust off in case he needs to fill in.  This year for Fromm is just a redshirt type classroom season.

     

    Fromm sounds perfect.

    We may want to lose the Week17 game to ensure a Play Off game against Miami.  And eliminate the Ravens (even if they win out) in the process

    Lines this morning are GB -3.5, PIT -2.5, and BUF -7.  I think the chances of clinching the #2 seed this weekend are probably 50/50.  I think the Stillers are in a free-fall and Indy feels like the favorite.  Buffalo should win.  The game that is the most “iffy” is GB-TEN.  Could absolutely see TEN winning that one.

    TEN winning at GB makes no difference as long as Bills win, Colts beat Pitt and Browns beat Jets.

     

    That’s  because Steelers play Browns in Wk 17 so one of those teams finish 12-4.  Bills win any 3 or 4 team tiebreaker at 12-4.

    Bills played the toughest schedule, lost to the Chiefs missing one of their key defensive pieces [MIlano] and Tremaine was also not 100%.  Titans game was an aberration  -- NFL disrupted schedules and rewarded the team that didn't follow the protocol.

    Yes, but if it's cold and nasty, Henry is a granite bowling ball.


    The Titans game started with Andre Roberts tipping a good pass by Josh into the hands of a Titans defender.

     

    Andre is now WR6 or WR7 on the depth chart and won’t see the field besides returns.  The Titans will notice the difference if we play them.

    I’m not sure how there is a theoretical chance.  
     

    worst chiefs can do and best bills can do is 13-3 with head to head tiebreaker win for chiefs right? 

     

    You would need the Steelers to win out to finish 13-3 also.  Our head to head with KC is disregarded and it goes on Strength of Victory. We need a lot of help.

    Not necessarily. If the Bills and Titans and one other team all finish 12-4, the Bills end up winning the tiebreaker in most cases. And I would bet one of Cleveland, Indy, and Pittsburgh will end up 12-4.

    Correct.  And with the Browns finishing with the Jets & Steelers you would think they would finish 12-4 also.

    So with a win in Foxboro we can still field the back ups against Miami.  Perfect.

    It's kind of fun to play with the simulator but to me it looks like winning out is our best chance at avoiding Baltimore, if we want to avoid them. I assume most other playoff contenders win as well. 

     

    If Indy wins next and we win against Pats, a loss to Miami the following week I think we play Baltimore either 2 vs 7 or 3 vs 6 depending no matter the outcome of Cleveland Pitt. 

     

    If Pitt wins next week, we probably avoid Baltimore and could play Indy, Cleveland or Miami. 

     

     

    If Miami beats LV & the Bills back ups then they get #7 seed and the Ravens are out.   Miami then get to visit the #2 seed which should be us.

    Thanks for the correction.  And yes...you are correct on your hypothetical.

    That assumes the Steelers win either tonight or against the Colts.  Seems unlikely.  Browns must be favorites to win the AFCN. Bills look good for the #2 seed at 12-4  even with a loss to the Dolphins if we rest our starters.  That could set up a Wildcard against the Dolphins.  Sounds perfect.
