Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 O.P's logic is ridiculous. The loss by New England eliminated the tie-breaker all together and gave us the outright division lead. I hope they continue to lose to NFC teams so we stay ahead of them in the standings.

Turk71 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I enjoyed yesterday's win as much as anyone. I also enjoyed yesterday's Pats loss A LOT. With that said, yesterday wasn't all good news. We entered the day with a distinct advantage against the Pats in tiebreaker scenarios. We exited the day in a flat footed tie with them. Our win against Atlanta was impressive and I think it bodes well for the Bills. But a win against an NFC team hurts when it comes to breaking ties. It is only week four so I don't want to make a big deal but NE had a bad win against NO earlier in the year which when coupled with our loss to the Panthers gave us an edge. Yesterday erased that because NE's NFC loss helps them. The good news is that they are a division team so we have a chance to sweep them. If not, we could split and then sweep the Jets and Dolphins and be at least tied with them. Before yesterday we would have won a tie breaker, now it would move on to another metric. Still, it is better that the Pats lost to the Panthers than say when the Steelers lost to the Bears last week. That one hurt. The Chiefs losing to the Skins tonight might seem bad but it doesn't really matter that much as we play the Chiefs head to head. We don't play the Steelers so we are behind them. I hope they win their division. Hahahahaha this is frickin hilarious. Edited October 3, 2017 by Turk71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I've been looking forward to this all weekend..............BBMBers won't get the lock tight logic to it. At least we get two more chances to lose to NFC teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 With KC's win tonight vs the Redskins we are tied for 1st in the AFC! Our game with KC will be the tiebreaker there. Unless we tie in our game, our NFC wins don't hurt us against KC, Den, Oak, LAC, Cin, Indy. There are definitely other ways things could happen there to bring tiebreakers back into play but they involve stuff too complex to get into now. In division stuff like Mia, NYJ, NE only comes into play when we split and have the same record in the rest of the division, but don't think Bellichick doesn't know this and isn't aware that he gained ground on Sunday. The teams that gained an slight edge or avoided losing one when we beat Atl were Pit, Bal, Cle, Ten, Hou, Jax. Of those I see no reason to dismiss anyone just yet but Cle is becoming a candidate.

Is there a link to verify that? (I am being serious) no, not the part about aliens of course http://www.nfl.com/playoffs/playoff-picture I can't believe that is actually up. I stand corrected NE #10 Edited October 3, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
