They play Houston twice in the next three games. One more Buffalo win knocks whomever doesn't win the South out. Pittsburgh can get to 11 but that would only hurt seeding. Buffalo is in a good spot. Win one more and they are in. They could get in other ways but that's the easiest math. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhh9327 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We can still win the division no matter what happens this coming week. Wins against the Patriots and Jets and then the Patriots losing to Miami in week 17 gives us the division even if we lose to the Steelers based on same record and better division record. There are also realistic scenarios where we can clinch a wildcard by the end of week 16 even with losses both weeks. It's pretty crazy how much has to go wrong for us not to make it in. We lose out and the odds of making it are still over 50% right now. Still, let's just beat Pittsburgh and lock our place in the playoffs in.

I know it is uncharted territory for fans owning your own playoff destiny but the Bills do. also Division is still in play. But need to win out and NE drop 2 of 3. 1 hour ago, Boatdrinks said: No. Either HOU or TEN will be out , Bills in with 1 more win. We know this BUT there are just too many fans who cannot enjoy that fact. Some want to continue to look at doomsday scenarios because they are "programmed" to respond that way. Posters are even going so far to say if the Bills lose to PIT they don't deserve the playoffs. I can't understand that but none of us can change these people's minds. I've ran many "plausible" scenarios where the Bills get in even losing all 3 games. That fact makes me happy not sad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeding is still up in the air if things get bad WRT Buffalo getting the AFC East NE has to lose to Cincinnati or Miami (or both for the Bills to get the Division I don't see it any other way http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeding is still up in the air if things get bad Based on messing around with the ESPN Playoff Machine I couldn't find a way for the Bills to not be locked into, at least, the 5 seed if they win this week. The difference between the 5 and 6 seed is huge. No way I want to go on the road to KC in the WC game. Much easier path the the division round if its @Hou or @Ten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhh9327 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Completely viable scenario Week 15: Texans over Titans Saints over Colts Week 16: Saints over Titans Week 15 or 16: Browns lose to Cardinals and/or Ravens Raiders lose to Jags and/or Chargers If this all happens, we clinch a spot before the Jets game even if we lose next two weeks. Easily could happen. Or we just win on Sunday and make it really simple. Edited December 9, 2019 by jhh9327 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28255391/the-race-afc-2-seed-alive-barnwell-next-2019-nfl-playoffs-involved The race for the AFC 2-seed is alive: Barnwell on what's next in the 2019 NFL playoffs, who's involved 7. Tennessee Titans (8-5) Chance to make the playoffs: 50.6%Projected playoff matchup: Out of playoffs 6. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5) Chance to make the playoffs: 59.7%Projected playoff matchup: at Chiefs 5. Buffalo Bills (9-4) Chance to make the playoffs: 95.9%Projected playoff matchup: at Texans 2. New England Patriots (10-3) Chance to make the playoffs: 99.9%Projected playoff matchup: First-round bye Even given that the Patriots have lost to the three other division leaders in the AFC, they're still in good shape to come away with a first-round bye, though not the top overall seed. They control their destiny and have a relatively easy schedule to come, as two of their three remaining games are against the Bengals and Dolphins. The Bills arguably outplayed the Patriots when the two teams played in Week 4, but this game will be in Foxborough, where the Pats had won 21 straight games before Sunday's loss to Kansas City.

In fact, Buffalo’s path to the playoffs in Week 15 is pretty simple: Defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s it. The Bills do not need any other help leading up to Sunday Night Football next week. If the Bills can knock off the Steelers at Heinz Field, Buffalo will make the playoffs for the second time in three seasons under Sean McDermott. https://amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/4379069002 ORCHARD PARK – All the Buffalo Bills needed to do Sunday afternoon was take care of their own business against Baltimore, and they would have been celebrating their entrance into the NFL playoffs Sunday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
