Given that the Texans and Titans play each other 2 times in the last 3 games, the Bills need one win in their final 3 games to get a playoff spot. 


There isn’t a person on this board who wouldn’t have taken that before week 1. Win, and they’re in. No better place to do it than Pittsburgh.

This Steelers game today paired with a loss to the ravens is going to really screw our season here. I think our next 2 games are incredibly difficult and I’d be surprised if we win either. Might be in big trouble now

Only need one win in final 3, even if it’s vs Jets.

That’s not definitely true. Or true at all actually. The Steelers cab still be 11-5 and if the titans and Texans are both 10-6 I’m not sure if we get in over either. That last jets game has been a throw away where people expect it to just be a given but I really hope we don’t need it. You never know what a division game can be like and the Jets would love to ruin our season.

Yep, Joe B is wrong and people are running with it

It’s now true due to HOU, IND, and OAK all losing today. Bills control own destiny. That wasn’t the case last week and most assumed HOU would beat the Broncos. Bills still have to win, but just one more game gets them in.

I hope it’s right. I hope we can get in if we go 0-3 because I’m not confident that 1 more win is coming. I could see us winning all 3. I could see us losing all 3. Impossible to get a handle on this team when the offense goes into the lulls that’s it does. The defense is excellent but the offense has way to many dead spots in it. Until it’s run entire through Singletary, we aren’t going to consistently score. Right now it feels like if a team gets 20 on us, it’s to much.

There are scenarios where they can get in at 9-7, but wouldn’t control destiny with that record. They need one more win, I’d be surprised if they can’t at least beat the Jets.

It seems that as long as the Ravens beat the Browns and the Saints beat the Titans, we would get in at 9-7. Also the Raiders have to lose one more, but they look terrible. So we are in a good position to get in. Obviously going 3-0 is the best!

Personally, I’d like to see this.. Buffalo has to win out, Titans win both vs Texans to set this up. I think Buffalo has a better chance at beating Tenn than Hou. Plus, I’d like to see the Pats* actually play a tough playoff schedule for once in 20 years. (Plus, 20 years later we can try to reverse the curse of the Music City Forward Lateral)

I’d prefer NE lose to Buffalo and one more team to give the Bills the AFCE crown.

Agreed on AFCE, however, I was trying to remain somewhat realistic.. I don’t see NE* losing to Cin or Mia... ?

35, 42, 31, 42 points in their last four weeks. That's 21 touchdowns in 4 games.

impressive 

 

Tennessee REMAINING OPPONENTS: Houston, New Orleans, Houston. 

 

My guess is a split with Houston and a loss to N’Awlins 

 

edit Titans 50% chance to make it.

Yep. I think HOU is a better matchup for the Bills than the Titans are. While Watson is better QB, Bills offense will have better results vs Texans than TEN.

This has been a really fun season and it’s always just been the battered bills fan in me to not jump on with both feet and brace for the let down. Each loss has felt real bad for some reason, I think it’s because each time we lose it lets that little bit of doubt creep back in to the back of my mind. That fear that the bottom could just drop out at any time...All that being said, if this team just finds a way to get in (even if it’s somehow with losing out) Il be thrilled. I don’t care what the seed is, or what the Match up. After the drought and finally sneaking in 2 years ago, I’m not going to act like I take any playoff year for granted. You never know when it can be another prolonged time period between appearances. Just find a way to get in. Go Bills!

Yep. And I think we absolutely COULD beat Tennessee, so I don't mean to sound like I'm trashing the Bills. 

But this is a matchup league, and like you say, I like our matchup with HOU.

Hoping Houston beats Tennessee twice as that would give the Titans 7 losses and since the Bills have the head to head tiebreaker than that eliminates them from catching the Bills. Playing NO will not be easy for them as well. The Texans would win the South in this scenario so that wouldn't hurt the Bills at all. The Colts are 6-7 and playing at NO this week. Good luck with that especially since NO will be a bad mood after yesterday' tough loss to SF. The Raiders have been blown out 3 straight weeks so much for that "easy" schedule. They are done. Assuming the Pats, Chiefs, Ravens, and Texans win their divisions then it really is just the Bills, Steelers, Titans fighting for those 2 WC spots. Am I missing something here?

Houston just needs to split with Tenny. They don't need the sweep. 

Houston already owns the tie breaker 

Houston is ahead of Tennessee in the AFC South based on division record (3-1 to the Titans' 2-2).

Guys it is Simple. 
 

NOTHING else Matters. 1 Win out of 3 and they are 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.

Cleveland can theoretically still catch us if they win out and we lose out.  They play @ARI, BAL, and CIN.  They could easily lose to the Cardinals and will probably lose to Baltimore.  

 

You're absolutely right that we should all be Houston and New Orleans fans for the next few weeks.  If the Saints beat the Colts and Titans and Houston splits with Tennessee, we become strong favorites to back into the playoffs even if we don't win another game.  

 

But backing into the playoffs blows so let's just win out.

They won't back in. I know anything can happen but I would be shocked if the Bills lost to the Jets at home especially if its a game they may need to win.

Hell, I’d be slightly disappointed if they go 10-6 and their only win is home against the Jets.... they’d have completed the season beating absolutely no one in a cake walk schedule. 

Dallas and Tennessee were quality wins.

Tennessee was a garbage offensive team until they benched Mariota. They are a different team now. 

 

Dallas is is proving to be an average football team. The Bills haven’t beaten a quality football team. They’ll get two more chances at the very least.

Yea I'd say Tennessee is still a quality win. They are a wide open drop away from beating us. Dallas still with no wins over .500 teams. I'm still happy they played well in prime time though.

Doesn’t one win only clinch it if it’s against the steelers?  A win against patriots or jets puts us at 10 wins, can’t Steelers and Tennessee get to 11 and knock us out?

 

If Titans get to 11 that means they'd have won the division and knocked Houston out.  This we are in with 1 more win
