CentralVaBills Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 on a game that features San Diego AT Indy. Right now, SD is in the #3 slot by virtue of better AFC record, but they are tied record wise. That game could settle head to head with only one week to play afterward. That game may well likely settle playoff scenarios for both of those teams. A week later.....Denver plays Indy. We really need Indy to win that game. However, things should be settled the week before which could mean a nice rest for Peyton Manning and the crew, and could be doom for us! I AM NOT liking that at all!

Out of all the competetion, the Denver scenerio looks like the least promising from a Bills perspective. Assuming the Ravens & Jags lose the road games they're supposed to lose, the onus is really on the Jets to collapse - which is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Or, if NE or Pitt slips a notch or two Indy would be forced to win the last game to have a shot at a first round bye. Wishful thinking, but anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing this now, because they are still trying to accomplish playoff positioning. If they have their spot wrapped up, Tony Dungy is way too classy, and way too smart to risk getting those guys injured in a meaningless game. DAMMIT!

CentralVaBills Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 No worries. It's all falling into place now...... 147854[/snapback] It really is. However, aside from the Bung-Holes win today and Oakland over Denver last week, everything else has been predictable. Oh wait...... Oakland won AT Denver........oh wait......AT DENVER???? LOL Anything is possible, but that SD - INDY game could wreck us! DAMMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The huge problem is........repeating.........Everyone should be counting on a Denver loss to Indy. The Indy - SD game the week before that could very easily throw a wrench into those plans BIG TIME, as that game could determine if INDY plays starters that last week or not.

Mikie2times Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Lots of Denver possibility's so I wouldn't get nervous just yet. For example any of the following could happen to throw off what we believe right now. 1. Denver could lose to either Miami or the Titans. Long shot indeed but a unexpected loss in either of these games makes @ KC a must win for them. Or scenario #2 which is more likely IMO 2. Denver beats Miami and Titans, loses to KC and then loses to the Colts. Since you don't believe Indianapolis will have anything to play for let me show the following possibility's with that. 1. Chargers lose to either Tampa or Cleveland the next two weeks, Colts beat both Houston and Baltimore. Chargers beat the Colts to tie them going in the last week. Because of this tie and the fact that they both have 4:15 games the final week Indianapolis would have to play starters in case of a Charger loss. 2. Colts lose to Houston next week, Charger beat Tampa, Cleveland, then lose to Colts. Same as scenario #1, Colts have to win last week in order to hold off the Chargers. 3. Peyton wants to set the record out of this planet/Dungy doesn't want the offense to have any rust/Indianapolis prefers a specific team in the playoffs. Most teams don't like to play the same team back to back, if Denver beat Indianapolis odds are they would play again the next week in the #6 vs #3 match up. Also keep in mind that Denver has lost 4 of 6 and hasn't really been able to fully gel all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All joking aside I know its a jumbled mess of information, basically all it says is that Indianapolis very well could have something to play for in week 17.

No matter what happens, the Bills are going to need help to get in...let's just see how it plays out. Denver is a team lacking confidence heading down the stretch with two brutal losses in a row. Right now I'm just thankful that the Bills are playing meaningful games this late in the season. It sure makes things a lot more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I also think we could beat Cleveland....even if the Bills players wouldn't show up, and just the crowd made noise. LOL They'd find some way to self destruct and run the wrong way to give us points. Or maybe even a bad snap to give us a safety. We'll beat Cleveland.

No way in hell did I think we would give up 32 points to them! Remember, they come off a shootout with the Bengals 2 weeks ago and show that they too can move the ball when motivated enough.

Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I think that both AFC wild cards come out of the AFC East with the records looking like this : Bills: 10-6 Jets: 10-6 Ravens: 9-7 Jaguars: 9-7 Broncos: 9-7 There is a very good possibility that we drop that game to Pittsburgh unless Indy or NE has already clinched homefield so my worries are the tiebreakers.
