Playoffs? Playoffs?? The Playoff Chances Thread


Recommended Posts

There's pretty much no way that we DON'T make the playoffs. The Ravens will win out and take the 5th seed. The Titans will lose out and finish 8-8, and the Chargers will probably lose one of their next two games. All we have to do is beat the Dolphins, which should be pretty easy, to make it in.

ESPN's playoff machine indicates that if Tennessee loses out, Ravens win out, the Bills win one/lose one, and the Chargers win out, the Chargers will beat us out for the 6 seed :(

 

UNLESS the Chiefs  also lose out, which seems unlikely

Logically speaking, this is what most likely unfold's:

 

Bills beat Miami, lose to NE

Tennessee 1-1 is last 2, probably loses to Rams, beats Jax, as Jax may not need week 17.

 

We get in.  I doubt that Baltimore is 1-1 in last 2, most likely 2-0. 

 

Playoffs are quite a legitimate possibility for the Bills.  We need to take care of business in Miami.

Jax has to beat the Titans in that scenario

Just saying. Glad we squished the Phish and glad we have hope in the middle of December. But that being said, I try to keep an even keel because of the fates we have suffered before. :thumbsup:

All good and all, but dude you just rehashed unwanted memories i tried to keep in a small dark remote corner of my noggin lol.

My biggest worry is the Jags won't have anything to play for week 17. Rest starters. Titans sneak away with a win.

 

Well, one thing is for sure......outside of the Titans, the Bills have the toughest schedule left of teams in the playoff picture.

I think if any team MAY get tripped up it could be the Chargers, coming cross country on Christmas Eve day, in the cold, to play the Jets. The Jets haven’t given up.

Not trying to be the voice of negativity here, but we have seen this song and dance before. Pittsburgh's 2nd and 3rd string. 

I am proud of this team though for the heart they show. 

 

That Steelers team was stacked. Their backups would have started for many, many teams. That was not a team of scrubs they trotted out there.

With the Titians loss the Bills now control their own playoff destiny. (Let that sink in) with Two weeks left in the season. 

 

They win twice and they are in no matter what else happens across the league. 

New York Times playoff machine disagrees.  If Bills win next two, they need ONE of the following to happen:

 

Week 16 

Colts over Ravens

Rams over Titans

Jags over 49ers

 

Week 17

Bengals over Ravens

Jags over Titans

 

in other words, If Ravens or Titans lose or Jags win one.

Hmm......why?

 

Depends on scenario

But if bills ravens jags and titans finish 10-6 

 

  • 3rd Seed - Kansas City
    AFC West Champ 
    Wins tie break over Tennessee based on best win percentage in common games.
  • 4th Seed - Tennessee
    AFC South Champ (Wins tie break over Jacksonville based on head-to-head win percentage.)
  • 5th Seed - Jacksonville
    Wins tie break over Buffalo and Baltimore based on best win percentage in conference games.
  • 6th Seed - Baltimore
    Wins tie break over Buffalo based on best win percentage in common games.

People keep saying that if the Titans lose out and Buf wins 1 more that Buf is in. After playing around with the ESPN playoff machine I noticed that this is not the case. 

 

Buffalo will also need for the Chargers to lose at least one more as well. If the Chargers win there two remaining games, Buf wins one more and the Titans lose out Buf gets beat out by the Chargers for the 6th seed.

 

If the the Titans win next week and lose to the Jags to finish 9-7 and the Chargers and Bills also get to 9-7 somehow Buf Gets in. 

 

Chargers loss is going to haunt us unfortunately.

Respectfully I disagree.

 

They throttled us and would have throttled us with TT at QB.

 

No, credit goes to those prognosticators before the start of the season (Sports Illustrated maybe?  Can't remember who said it but someone did) who said that the Bengals game will determine if the Bills will make the playoffs or not.

 

Cincy is a tire fire and although we were only one pass away against Carolina, that Bengals game against an AFC team that stinks may end up costing us everything.

#Titans loss means #Bills now control destiny and make playoffs with 2 wins.
#Bills also make playoffs with 1 win and:

#Ravens loss
OR 
TEN wins v Rams then loses v JAX
OR 
2 TEN losses and 1 #Chargers loss

#BillsMafia

Dammit that's a lot of ****.

 

Would've it been easier to get in if the Chargers beat the Chiefs last night?

I don't see us beating the Pats so scenario 1 isn't happening.

 

Ravens have a pretty easy schedule so they most likely won't lose.

 

I can see the Titans losing out... But why do the Chargers need to lose too? We wouldn't get in if we finish 9-7 and the Titans lose out?

Not if Chargers are 9-7 they own the head to head tie breaker. They need to either get to 8 losses or win the division

Chargers have the head to head tie breaker if only between 2 clubs for the final seed.

What exactly needs to happen for us to get into the playoffs?

 

If the Titans lose 1 more game and we beats Miami week 17 are we in or does anything else need to happen?

Titans must beat Rams and lose to JAX. LAC must lose one more game

So I'm getting the impression our chances would've been better had the Chargers beat KC?
 

WTF why were people saying it didn't matter who won? I at least could've rooted for the Chiefs to lose last night. Ugh

Titans 10-6 win out

Jags 10-6 lose out 

Ravens 10-6 win out

Bills 10-6 win out
