Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 What scenario is most beneficial for Buffalo???? A Browns win puts them at 4-6 with a head to head tie-breaker with the Bills A Browns loss really hurts their chances as they could only get to 9-7 and still must play Pittsburgh again and the Ravens in week 16 probably with home filed advantage still not secured. I see at least two more Browns' losses - Ravens and one of the Steelers games. In this scenario the best they can do is 8-8. A sweep of Pittsburgh means they can get to 10-6 but still with the Ravens game looming, 9-7 seems like the best they can do. A Steelers win puts them at 6-4 a half game back of Buffalo. The only team with a winning record besides Buffalo remaining on their schedule is Baltimore. Unfortunately the Ravens game is week 17 and they may be resting guys by then. With another Steelers win a few weeks later to the Browns, the winner of the Buffalo/Pittsburgh game will likely decide who makes the playoff. A Steelers loss drops them to 5-5 with another Browns and Ravens game. With all that, I think the best case scenario for Buffalo is for them to split their two games, giving each team an additional loss. The Bills-Steelers game may still decide the playoff fate for both teams. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsman623 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Root for Cleveland. They still have 6 losses already. Giving them a 4th win isn't that big of a deal right now. If the Bills win Sunday the will still be 3 up on Cleveland and then be 2 up on Pitt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessYaDigg Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'm for Cleveland on this one. They're less of a threat to us. Steelers are getting hot and they need to cool down. Having momentum on the back half of the schedule is crucial for a playoff run and I don't wanna see the steelers having that momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 We need Browns to win. Browns need to pull this off or Season is a wrap.

Boca BIlls Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) The Bills put themselves in position by being bad and letting these other teams catch up. All they had to do was beat a bad 2-6 team and they controlled the rest... Now they are in a spot where by the end of the season they might not even be in the race.

billsfan_34 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Browns win for sure. Always go with the team with the lesser record beating the team with the better record. Let it come down to all the other variables later on- Bills go. 10-6 no worries- Bills go 9-7 and now we have some things to look at. Browns are not coached well enough to go 9-7 imo. 7-9 or 8-8 maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Browns have head to head on us and are ready to quit, let the Steelers end their season. Also, screw Baker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt328 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Browns. My attitude is that Buffalo needs to finish at least 10-6 (or 4-3 down the final stretch). If they finish with that record and miss on a tie-breaker, I'll be pretty disappointed. If they finish at 9-7, then they will deserve to miss the playoffs. The Steelers are only a game behind us in the Wild Card race, and their schedule is arguably easier than ours down the stretch. Although they would have the tie-breaker against us, Cleveland already has 6 losses. They also have a pretty easy schedule to finish out the season, but they can only afford one more loss.

Dopey Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 My heart says bury the Browns, now. Record wise and playoff scenarios, we want the Browns to win. With the Ravens' and Steelers' schedules the rest of the way, the Steelers have a a legitimate shot at the division. We play both of them, so we kinda control our own fate here. So, Go Steelers, bury Landry, Baker and the Browns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaSnow Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Absolutely rooting for the Browns. It's true that they have an easier schedule down the stretch, but in addition to the upcoming games against the Steelers and Ravens, it's completely plausible that they randomly stumble against Arizona or Miami. The Browns do not play consistently enough to win out (or likely to even get to nine wins). Let the Steelers catch them on one of their up days.

I think it's silly to make assumptions. Everyone is guaranteeing losses to certain teams and wins to others. But seasons rarely work out like people expect. There were a ton of upsets last week. There could be again next week and the week after. The only team in the NFL that is even slightly a sure bet is the Patriots. They are going to get their wins and win the division. But even they laid an egg against the Ravens, and they could against one of their future opponents as well. The Ravens, though hot now, got blown out by the Browns! So it's a week to week league. Assumptions are cheap and without much substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
