Kingston Bills Fan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Can anyone else see Marrone sticking it to us one last time and resting players on the final game? He does seem like a spiteful SOB! Edited December 11, 2017 by Kingston Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff3 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I think we want KC to win. Cause if we tie with chargers we will be tied with multiple teams and we win tiebreaker. Thats what I heard. Its all pretty confusing I must say cause everyone has different thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So best to put the standings away for myself lol until week 17. Yes that game if gonna be important. And we have to hope the 49ers help us out. Jimmy G has made them competitive so I could see them taking out the Titans for us. Gotta hope Charger beat KC as well since we own a head to head tie breaker.

If SD beats KC, it essentially narrows the WC down to Buf , Bal and Ten.. But after next week things will be much clearer, we have to do our part. C'mon Brownies, Tenn just lost to Gabbert , we should at the very least be hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Essentially the Bills want a three way tie with LA and TEN, ( strength of victory would go to Bills) or a two way tie with the Chiefs( head to head vs Chiefs). We will know more depending on the outcome of Chiefs/ Chargers on Saturday. Bills are out if TEN wins any two games or defeats JAX week 17/ AND BAL wins last two games. That's what it looks like right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tie breakers against KC and Oak not to metion better draft pick got from KC Yes. MUCH better draft pick if Chargers win division, then KC pick moves up from the mid 20's to the mid teens. Huge difference that will likely impact our future team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) The Bills can lose out in a three way, 9-7 tie with the Chiefs and Titans and get in in a three way 9-7 tie with the Chargers and Titans. Which is counter-intuitive because we beat the Chiefs and lost to the Chargers. My point is the Bills can get in with the Chargers or Chiefs winning the west but we really need the Titans to implode, that seems like the key. A lot of the specific scenarios will be based on who wins in KC this weekend. Edited December 11, 2017 by mattynh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really matters unless we handle our business regardless. This is definitely the case. There are no scenarios that work without the Bills being 9-7. That's really a best case situation for the Bills as they could easily lose any of their remaining games and are almost certainly not beating the Patriots. The good thing is, the Bills have a way in regardless of who wins Saturday between KC and LAC. Depending on the winner of that game, the Bills will probably have just one realistic scenario to get in. TEN has a tough remaining schedule, as the 49ers are no longer a pushover with Garrapolo and the Rams /Jaguars are probably going to be trying to secure division titles. The Titans look to have a difficult path in front of them. Bills fans could be best off rooting for the Chiefs on Saturday. If the Chiefs beat the Chargers, a 3 way tie at 9-7 with BUF, TEN, and LAC goes to the Bills providing that the Titans lose to the Jags.

I think it's actually better for the Bills if KC wins the West at this point because in a multi-team tie at 9-7, they would beat us out and the Chargers would not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to boil down the simplest Week 15 scenario. Bills win Sunday and we are NOT eliminated. Having the Titans lose to the 49ers on Sunday just about guarantees us a "meaningful" Week 17 game. The 2 AFC Wildcard spots could have 2, 3 or even 4 teams tied and going to tie-breakers. I recommend everyone enjoy their week and cheer for a Bills win. IF we win we will know more next Monday!
