djp14150 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The way I asses the Bills is based on their schedule...not necessarily their record. Lets assume this...the race is between Buffalo, New England, and the Jets. the goal to have double digit wins and be in at least 2nd place. They all went through the AFC North games with the Bills winning theirs and the Jets and Pats losing theirs. A game up for Buffalo. Bills also beat KC while San Diego and Dever still gave to travel to NYC/NE respectivly. The Bills lose to the Jets isnt that significant if they can split with the Jets. BUT----by going 2-0 in noncommon games and the Pats/Jets assured of 1 loss the Bills will lose the third tiebreaker in sorting division standings. The order: 1. Head to head 2. Division record 3. Common games---or the flip record of noncommon games if they are tied and Bills were 2-0 while they were say 1-1 then the Bills will have a worse common game record. The Bills also have an advantage on NE given their loss to AZ. After Buffalo New England has to play Denver, at Seattle, Jets. If Buffalo wins next week the Pats could be staring at a 2-5 record after 7 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 A little too early to start looking at playoff tie-breaker rules. The Bills need to go out and win games, especially the divisional games. Not too complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I would feel very good about the Bills chances and the everything changes for the good if the Bills beat New England this week. I would love for it to be on another questionable field goal attempt. I think BB might implode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 We just gotta win 10 games someway somehow. Doesn't really much matter which ones they are. 10-6 will get you in playoffs almost every year. Last year the bungles got it at 9-7. 9-7 gets you in a lot too.

Last year the bungles got it at 9-7. 9-7 gets you in a lot too. 11 wins is safer....10 wins is a good shot provided you are in second place in your division because of tie breakers. If another team finishes at 10-6 for a WC spot (Steelers or Ravens,Chargers, or Broncos) if they end up in third the jets/pats tiebreakers determine their fate. dont count on 9-7 meaning playoffs.

Captain Caveman Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 does this make sense to anyone else? I think he's trying to say we'll be alright as long as we lose a couple of games against NFC teams. Man, crayonz is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D521646 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well personally I'm not convinced of anything yet. We lost to the Jets, who in my opinion we should have beat. We beat two teams that are not very good, despite KC's cinvincing comeback win over the Hapless Saints, we really haven't beaten anyone good. Beating NE next week really is a must if we have any hope of going out west and contending!! Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwufelloff Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Arizona looks amazing, before the season started that "easy" win looks harder then most of them. There Defense is top 5 in league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
