Hebert19 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So we are now a Tennessee loss and indy loss away from a playoff spot regardless if we win again. Thanks to browns and Oakland losing. Of course. I'm all for a win tonight to eliminate the drama. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels good to be 95% sure the Bills are getting in no matter what other teams do. There are reports in another thread that only a Titans loss is now required .

bills6969 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Just win tonight and remove all doubt. Don't want to back-in to the playoffs. Also, lets get the 5 seed and avoid having to play the Pats/Chiefs in 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexplicably threw incomplete on 3rd down which stopped clock. Then missed TWO chances at FG ( after penalty on JAX). Minshew drove them down for TD aided by a PF roughing penalty . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Another way to look at it, we are Saints fans. Even if Bills lose all three they make the playoffs if the Saints beat Colts tonight and the Titans next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but pretty cool if true Not true. It depends on which game the Titans lose. If against the Texans in week 17, then yes. If it's just against the Saints, then we'll also need either a single Colts loss (they have 3 games left) or a week 16 Texans win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Sunday Night Football” (8:20 p.m., NBC) was flexed to give us the AFC wild-card battle between the Steelers and the visiting Bills. Buffalo can clinch a playoff spot with a win (and is still alive to catch the Patriots for the AFC East title), and the Steelers are trying to catch the Bills for the No. 5 wild-card berth, which is important since the No. 6 team is probably going to have to face the Chiefs in the wild-card round as opposed to traveling to Houston or Tennessee. This line stood at -1 and -1¹/₂ at most sportsbooks heading into the weekend. The short spread tells us the Steelers are only favored due to home-field advantage and that the Bills are the (slightly) better team. I agree https://nypost.com/2019/12/15/bills-vs-steelers-josh-allen-is-ready-for-this-moment/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 How sweet will it be to play the Jets week 17 with our backups while our starters get ready for the post season. Especially demoralizing for them as they reminisce over the week 1 loss when they had playoff aspirations instead of the train wreck they've become.
