bills6969 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Getting sick of this routine every year. Playoff hopes on life support, relying on **** teams (like the Niners today) to come up big and save our asses. Likely, all the things we need to go our way, wont happen. We finish just outside the playoffs, get a mid 1st round draft pick, and we do it all again next year! Bills football at its finest! When will it be our turn to lock up a playoff spot, and not rely on 10 different scenarios to get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Technically we're in the 6th spot right now, which may be the best spot we've been in for the last 17 years in week 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm thrilled to be looking forward to a Dec 17th game with significant playoff implications for us. This is why we are sports fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at their remaining schedule (@browns, colts, bungels) compared to ours (fish, @ pats, @ fish) we're going to need some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Its mid-December and we aren't just mathematically alive, we hold the 6th seed. We just need to play our games, and hope we get a break and one of several scenarios go our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Only scenario I'm looking at right now is the Bills winning the games they have to win. Not so much other teams since it will mean nothing if the Bills don't handle their business first. I'm just hoping not to see another Bills let down when they actually have a shot.

What a Tuel Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) I'll just post this here bc its probably more relevant to this thread. I am sure I missed something here and there, but these are the basics. Scenario 1: Bills win out - 10-6 Help needed: Titans or Ravens to drop one game. Scenario 2: Bills win 2 of 3 - 9-7 (Assumes Bills sweep Dolphins. Splitting with Dolphins and beating New England makes things a bit more difficult) Help needed option 1: Ravens to go 1-2 Chargers need to go 1-1 or 0-2 OR Chargers go 2-0, then Titans need to drop 2 games (One has to be vs Jaguars) Help needed option 2: Titans to go 0-3 Ravens or Chargers need to drop just one of 4 games (any game except Ravens vs Browns) Help needed option 3: Titans to go 1-2 Ravens need to drop one to colts or Bengals OR Titans win is not against Jaguars Chargers are irrelevant. Help needed option 4: Titans to go 2-1 or 3-0 We would need Ravens to lose 1 game (Colts or Bengals) Chargers are irrelevant Edited December 17, 2017 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what happened to they're offense but it's pretty darn bad , unfortunately they're defense is another story, with that said I wouldn't be surprised if Baltimore loses to the Colts and even the Browns , Lets hope the Bills win today !!!!!

boyst Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 tennessee has a chance to fall out of the playoffs, we still have a chance to get in with baltimore also getting in, we could even become 5th seed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills6969 Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Assuming Balt wins today, they will be in because they arent losing to the Bugels or Colts at home. Therefore, the final spot will come down to Titans, Bills, Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
