PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Chargers at Jets! That's the game our playoff chances ride on. If the Chargers lose, even if the Bills lose to the Patriots, all they need to do is beat Miami in the season finale and the Jags to beat the Titans and they are in. Even with McCown out, the Jets still have a strong D and decent run game. Plus the Chargers travel east in what will hopefully be cold, sloppy weather. I think the Jets have a shot. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollaBills Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I know its fun to fantasize about scenarios but none of that matters if we dont take care of business. If the Bills win out they are in no matter what, I'd rather we get hot than get the pity nod in week 17 at 4pm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got trounced by them on our own field...that's making me look to other teams for a little help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) It might be the best chance for an upset, but it's not the most important game this weekend. That would go to the Colts/Ravens game on Saturday. If the Colts win that game, no matter what else happens, the Bills get in with a win vs. the Dolphins. Even if the Jets beat the Chargers other things would keep the Bills out of the post season unless the Bills win out. Sure, they might not be that likely (the Titans would have to beat the Jags) but the possibility is still here. In fact, if the Colts manage to beat the Ravens the Bills would get the 5th seed with a win vs. the Phins and a Jags win vs. the Titans.

Steptide Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 With all the scenarios that I can't keep straight, I'm just rooting for 10-6. Either way, after this weekend we'll know alot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 16: Bills lose to Pats Jets beat Chargers Week 17: Bills beat Dolphins AND Cinci beats Ravens OR Jags beat Titans Therefore, the most important game is Colts over Ravens. If that happens and the Bills beat the Dolphins, then Bills are in if any of the following happen: Week 16: Jets over Chargers Week 17: Ravens over Bengals Jags over Titans Raiders over Chargers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Recipe for a new thread: Take some old news, add a teaspoon of opinion, stir well. Then put it out there like this is some incredible revelation. Anyone who has been following the playoff chase for the Bills pretty much knows that should the Bills win the last two games, the odds of being a wild card team shoot up to 90% or better. Conversely, if the Bills lose the last 2 games the odds of making the playoffs drops to under 10%. Ah, but win one more game makes it tricky. Yes, the Chargers are the key. Baltimore is in all likelihood going to win their last two, which puts them in. It's also pretty certain that Tennessee has a pair of losses in their immediate future. Having beaten the Chargers, the Chiefs have to be favored to win their division. That leaves the Chargers at 7-7 with 2 winnable games remaining and owning the tiebreaker over Buffalo. Yeah, there might be another more exotic way to sneak in to the playoffs, but the best odds have to do with the Chargers losing one of those last two games. Next Sunday is their Jets game and the Jets are at home. The following Sunday, the Chargers host the Raiders. That means the best odds for a Chargers loss comes at the hands of the Jets. I'm with you there, OP. The fly in the ointment is the fact that Todd Bowles has apparently decided to give Bryce Petty a three game audition to see if he might be the Jets starter next year. Petty did a couple of nice things in the last game, but at this point, Josh McCown is clearly the better QB, and he will be riding the pine. I would love to see the Jets win, and the Bills beat the Patriots for that matter, but the odds favor Buffalo having to wait it out and bite their nails as we await week 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 One interesting thing: Bills want the Dolphins to lose to the Chiefs. A Miami win can only hurt the Bills' chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
