Since i don’t remember seeing you cry over poor Kaep , I don’t think that applies to you. After checking out the playoff machine, I agree, Bills win out and they are in. Row getting a little dramatic here. Only game I think I dont place us as the favorite is the Pats. But hey, were only 1 good injury to TB12 for another glimpse of hope!

qwksilver Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Highly unlikely but there is a way for us to get in at 8-8. Lots of work to do so one week at a time. Who'd have thought that 2 or 3 weeks ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of work to do so one week at a time. Who'd have thought that 2 or 3 weeks ago? There's absolutely no way we get in at 8-8. As it is we need both the Ravens and Colts to go 2-3 in their remaining 5 games. Yes, there's a chance we could end up with the same record as either/both of those teams and still get into the playoffs, but it would rely on the Titans or possibly Broncos (?) ending up with the same record in order to make it the three+-team-tiebreaking-procedure. But that's far-fetched. 8-8 won't happen. Hell, I don't really think 9-7 will happen because the Colts have just been playing too well, but if we want a shot, we need to win out. Let's hope we can win our next few games and then pray for a Christmas Eve Eve miracle in Foxborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTF Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Looks pretty simple Chiefs Steelers Patriots Texans and Colts (Division winner and 6 seed) Chargers Even at 9-7 (that means winning in New England) the Bills wont get in. Following the Sabres model of tanking and grabbing picks is the better route. I know you can't really tank in football but a top 10 pick with a franchise quarterback and a solid defense puts the Bills in a great position to make a serious run in 1-3 years.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) What would have to happen to not be eliminated after the jets game? How far can we take this thing without being officially out? I know it’s been over but every week that it’s not “officially over” is a small victory. maybe someone can find a way for us to get in at 7-9. I would never expect to win out.

Joeziehmer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Pretty much done this season considering we have to play in New England. Not getting my hopes up or even caring at this point. Against elite Quarterbacks are defense sucks. Below tier teams are the only reason why the defense padded its stats. 6 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Wrong focus.

What does it say about Pegula ownership now that they have all but lost Key Bank and are basically renting an arena to even have a team play? Then you turn around and see them performing massive lay offs of hospitality employees? It makes me put on my loss prevention analyst cap; and say they are finically screwed. Not really turning a profit and using third party vendors and sales to stay afloat it’s not a good model to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playoff machine only really operates for the simplest tiebreakers, not the more complicated ones. If the Bills ended up 8-8 with any combination of the Ravens or Colts, Bills definitely lose that tiebreaker. Same record with Titans and Ravens, Bills lose that tiebreaker. Weird and unfathomable things could happen though once other potential 8-8 teams like the Bengals, Broncos and Jags are thrown in there. This isn't happening.

That's a pretty poor analogy considering you really aren't doing yourself harm maintaining hope in another week of a mathematical breath of life. Plus, how high is the window?
