Franco_92 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I put the Bills at 10-6 with wins against the Jets and Steelers, and then went about selecting other games to see how long it'd take our chances to fall below 50%. I got to 25 individual games going not ideally in our favor before that happened. It took about 23 to get below 95%. No idea how "maximally un-ideal" my choices were, but if we win those two games, we're in. Edited November 26, 2019 by arcane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Patriots tie the Texans, they’d get in with losses by at least two of the Raiders, Steelers and Colts. https://sports.yahoo.com/afc-playoff-picture-big-games-130534294.html 5. Bills (8-3) The next four weeks are the toughest of the season for Buffalo, but they’ve put themselves in position to absorb a loss or two without fatally damaging their postseason bid. ELIMINATED 16. Bengals (0-11) Andy Dalton‘s back in the saddle with a two-game edge on competitors for the top pick in the draft.

Plus I will never root for the Patriots unless it has some huge benefit for the Bills. This game doesn't meet this criteria. I'm rooting for Tampa Bay. End Jacksonville's season. For the non bolded: I'm rooting for Miami. Ruin the tank and help our strength of victory I'm rooting for Washington. Help the strength of victory I'm rooting for Giants. I bet you can guess why lol. All this said just win baby!!! Still rooting for the division. Beat Dallas when they are reeling, beat the Ravens after having extra prep time, beat the Steelers and Duck Dodge, end the dynasty, beat the running for the buses Jets!

The division is in play, only in that we can win more games than NE this season. We have virtually the same schedule, we lost to Philly and Cleveland. NE beat them. We HAVE to beat Dallas and Baltimore to leap frog them, and then beat NE in NE. More or less winning out. NE does not have an NFC game left on the schedule. So if they only lost to us, they would take the tie breaker from either SoS or SoV. We would tie in H2H, Division, Conference, and Common Opponents. Buffalo losing to Philly and Cleveland doesn't help. New England only losing to Buffalo down the stretch gives them the edge for both SoS and SoV. We would need them to drop an addition game from Houston or KC. But then we have more wins. Division is ONLY in play if Buffalo wins out and NE drops 2. If we lose the Baltimore game, NE would then need to lose 2 in a row to Houston and KC, then lose to Buffalo at Gillette. Only option is to just flat out win more games than BB and TB.

Browns are hot right now records be damned. The Steelers and their third string qb are more likely to fall apart imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have already lost to the Browns, so in a scenario where they both finish 10-6, the Browns would get in over the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won't happen but I think they either have to lose the next three and we win out or I'm pretty sure if we win out and they lose one more game to miami or maybe ?bengals?

InTheBuffAllTheTime Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Why not just pie in the sky?....... Patriots are illing this week. Will lose to Houston. No reason to think that Mahomes and the Chiefs won't beat them in Foxboro the following week. Ravens could easily lose to SF this week but, if not, can lose to the Bills the following week. If we truly Billieve in The Process, it's very reasonable to believe we can run the table. Final records: Pats 12-4 (losses to BAL, HOU, KC, BUF) -------> #5 seed WC BAL 13-3 (losses to KC, CLE, BUF) or 12-4 (losses to KC, CLE, SF, BUF) -------> #2 seed BYE BUF 13-3 -------> #1 seed BYE (head-to-head tie-breaker over BAL or record) Screw the rest of the scenarios! BOOM.....(mouse drop) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
