nero1 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 A Bills win this Saturday could push NE to #3 seed If KC wins out. This would be the beginning of the end for NE. Even if they win the wild card game at home, they would have to go to KC. We would go to Balt. after winning our wild card game. After that all bets are off, a win in Balt would send us to KC or NE for the AFC championship game. Point being NE having no rest period this year. See Buffalo championship years when playing games away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be in the driver's seat if they had beaten Arizona. If they beat Baltimore again, You lost me right there. Any given Sunday, but the Magic 8 Ball says "Unlikely to Occur" Baltimore lost to KC and Harbaugh was "tough loss, Andy Reid, Mahomes ?♂️, it's hard to win in the NFL" Baltimore lost to the Browns and Harbaugh was "@#$@#%ing Kitchens sink and that little %$#@ Mayfield, No Way we should be letting them Hang up 40 on us ???" Changes were made in defensive personnel and scheme, Peters was acquired, and the Baltimore D stiffened up to the "Call a Doctor if" point. First 7 games: 22 PPG given up Last 7 games: 14 PPG given up The Ravens have the "Catbird seat" for the 1st round bye and homefield throughout the playoffs, and they aren't letting it go.

djp14150 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 UUpdated playoffs and possible week 17 schedule AFC division winners are NE, BAL, HOU,and KC Hou can be 3 or 4. To get 3 thry need to W and KC L one. KC can be 1-4. They WW to finish at 12-4 and tie bal and/or NE at 12-4 they get tiebreaker to get 1 or 2. BAL magic number for 1 is 1. They have NE tiebreaker but lose to KC. So they can be 1-3 seed. NE can be 1-3. BUF is 5 PiT needs to W and TEN L and they clinch 6. Or thry win both games. TEN needs to W 2 and PIT L 1 or W one and PI.t L 2. Cleveland and oakland needs LL by both TEN and PIT. CLE get in if it WW. OAK WW and needs a L by CLE to get in. in NFC DAL/PHI someone gets the division and is 4 SF/SEA week 17 is near certainty for NBC. SF L and SEA W week 16 doesn’t decide much. As of now SF has a tiebreaker age for division by strength of victory because other tiebreakers are tied For sorting 1-3 seeds. NO beat SEA SF beat NO and GB GB and SEA/SF have better conference record than NO SEA has tiebreaker on GB MIN needs to W and W next week and GB L next week for division. week 17 depends greatly on results of week 16 games. These are likely scenarios in scheduling. Likely a scenario with two teams competing with each other likely happen on opposite networks. IF TEN and PIT win this week then PIT game on FIX and TEN on CBS for example. near certainty SF/SEA on nbc if MIN beat GB they play the same time if PHL beats DAL they play at same time NO likrly pkays same time as GB if MIN lose and Rams W sat then they play at the same time in the AFC.. if PIT and TEN have same record or TEN ahead then they play at same time KC plays same time as HOU IfKC wins then KC plays same time as NE IF PIT and TEN lose then they Could play in same slot along with CLE and OAK if either of the latter two W Sunday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Houston is beatable IF we can get our RBs over 80 yards on the ground & Allen contributes another 40. I don’t see us winning on Allen’s arm alone as he just misses too many wide open WRs. Kid needs another offseason of boot camp & improving his mechanics and throwing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need balance , and good pass pro. Think of the DAL game. That’s what Allen can do when he gets a pocket . If he has to reset a lot, the mechanics get a little sloppy sometimes. He can thread lasers in there if we give him a little time. He will need a running game though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I also think sending Kroft or Knox down the seam a few plays per half stretches out the defense & opens the underneath passing lanes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It will be good to see how Allen does in a playoff game. He's done great so far when the lights are brightest - Thanksgiving, the Steelers, even yesterday. I hope that guy ends up with 20+ playoff wins, and a handful of rings. This could just be win #1 and the start of an amazing run. At least, it's fun to think about it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hou is definitely our best matchup. Their strength is passing, our defense is great at pass defense. Josh struggles the most when under pressure, HOU has one of the lowest pressure rates in the league. Gotta feel pretty good if/when this is who we draw.

eball Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Almost certainly Bills @ Houston at this point. Would be a surprise if KC loses and Houston wins in W17, since KC is playing a "run for the bus" opponent in the Chargers while Houston faces a Titans squad who need a win to get in (or a Pittsburgh loss, but I would presume the Ravens will be resting everyone).

Big Turk Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) If the Bills were smart they would be preparing for their likely first round matchup against the Texans(with some lesser prep work for the Chiefs) and not waste time really doing much for the Jets game since its going to be backups and it honestly doesn't matter to their playoff seeding. This would pretty much give us 2 weeks worth of preparation against an opponent and almost like having a first round bye, which could give us an advantage come that game.

SF Bills Fan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) It would be great if we could get a clue as to which seeds will play what day for travel purposes.

Franco_92 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) If I was Houston I'd want to play starters. I'd believe in myself to get to the AFCCG, and then KC coming out of the other playoff tree is definitely a possibility - and week 17 decides whether that game is in Houston or KC.
