OCinBuffalo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Check this out: NFL Playoff "what if" analyzer. It's a fun tool, just click on the week/team you think will win and it will adjust. I was able to make it so that Bills beating the Jets = no playoffs for them. Requirements, I think: The Jets have to lose to the Bears. If this doesn't happen, I don't see how this works. The Colts and Jags have to win out. Week 16 The Bengals have to beat the Chargers or Week 17 The Broncos have to beat the Chargers Bills Vs. Pats is irrelevant. Ravens/Steelers also irrelevant. If the above happens, and the Bills beat the Jets, then they are done, and that would be two(2) division opponents booted out of the playoffs by us. The "losing culture of the Bills" has been bandied about on this board lately. Fine. Changing the losing culture has to have a beginning, a middle and an end. Sweeping the division in the last 3 games, and booting 2 teams out of the playoffs in the process, would be a hell of a beginning, and completely worth the loss of draft position. Football is a team game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorman8 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I dont see the chargers losing. more likely KC will lose to either the raiders or titans. this would also keep the jets out(with your above scenario). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. And yes, I see KC losing to the Titans or Raiders as far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a team game. I absolutely never think the Bills will beat the Pats....not as long as Brady starts and Belicheck is the HC. That said, I have not looked forward to a Pats game this much in a long time. Selfishly of course I hope it sells out since I don't go to the games anymore, but even if I'm forced to listen to Murph and Professor Kelso on the radio, I really can't wait for kick off next week. It would be awesome if the Bills take the Pats right down the the end of the game or OT like the Ravens and Steelers, too!

Dorkington Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 If we beat either the Pats or the Jets (while they are playing their starters), I will consider this a turn around point, since we have yet to beat a high quality team this year.

BRH Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 It would be a pretty good trio of accomplishments to end the Fins' season, the Jets' season, and Brett Favre's streak all in the space of about a month. Not to mention some of the best schadenfreude ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Jets clinch playoffs with loss. so much for knocking them out. Yeah that certainly sucks. A 100% meaningless game now. Well, maybe foot fetish boy will play some second stringers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
