thebandit27 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Shoot, I honestly meant to quote the other guy who said it was "easy", sorry. No sweati...I thought that was a bit out of character for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 stranger things happen every season.... The Steelers are a very good team though. That offense is insane. They are one of the few teams that might be able to stop NE* from ruining SB 50, so I want them in. Let's hope KC loses 3 in a row instead.

DisplacedBillsFan Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Shoot, I honestly meant to quote the other guy who said it was "easy", sorry. Hey now, I said unlikely. I meant easy to determine, not easy to accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 So I'm thinking the Johnny Manziel era is starting exactly at the right time, as he brings a little late season magic to that team. Our path to the playoffs is still quite easy, even if it is unlikely. If nothing else, a loss by Pittsburgh to the Broncos next weeks keeps us one game and an exciting week 17 away from the playoffs. Pittsburgh loses to Denver week 15 Bills win week 15 and 16 Jets lose to Patriots (as they should) If these three scenarios happen, we are playing Jets week 17 with playoffs on the line, rooting for Johnny to upset the Steelers, and we're in! Enough false hope already. This team won't be in the playoffs and doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs. Rex has run this team into the ground.

BillsFanM.D. Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 No sweati...I thought that was a bit out of character for you. Yes. That was cold...even for a fridge. As for the playoffs, I'm still hoping... but we do need Pitt to fall on their collective faces and the Jets to find another loss besides the Bills. The path is dark but not impossible. The Mularkey Bills that got crushed by Pittsburgh should have never had a shot at the playoffs (in the last game). The odds were very, very long but all the stars lined up over the last few weeks. Too bad the Bills blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strive_for_five_guy Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I went and set the criteria to win %age (I feel it's the most accurate)... Assuming the Bills win out (I know, I know), here's what we need: Denver over Pittsburgh in Week 15 Pittsburgh to lose one of their two final road games (at Baltimore in Week 16 or at Cleveland in Week 17). So basically PIttsburgh-Denver is the big game other than Buffalo-Washington this week. The playoff machine seems wrong. How do we beat Steelers in common games in that scenario? They are 2-3and we are 1-4 (NE, CIN, IND, KC).... Never mind, looks like we would have a better conference record there. Answered my own question....

So many storylines for the NFL in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVABillsFan Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Still alive in December! Isn't this what we've always wanted??? The NFL darling Dolphins got eliminated last night. For those who still believe in miracles. If all Home teams win with the exception of Buffalo @ Washington.. your prayers can come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The lack of hope comes from the loss, but this is no different of a scenario than if the Steelers would have beaten the Bengals. We would not have gotten in even if we won out, because the Steelers would have the tiebreakers. Once the Bengals lost, the only possible path for us to make the playoffs was for Pittsburgh to go 9-7. At that point we could lose 1 NFC game and it doesn't matter. It sucks that it was the Eagles game, but that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Can the machine also calculate the odds of the Bills finishing last in the AFC East? This seems more likely than the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
