13-3 wildcard?

[billvernsays]

Even if we win out and tie with a 13 - 3 record along with the Patriots we’re still going to be at best a 5th seed. Unless the Pats’ other loss is to Cinn or the Dolphins due to win % of common opponents. 
 

13-3 5th seed seems wrong and It’s very possible it could happen. 

[Cygnus99]

I know it is crazy , we have to beat the Pats and hope the Pats drop a game in order to secure the division . I do not think we are going to win the division but I think we win a playoff game and we might even beat the Pats . That Browns game is gonna cost us the tiebreaker but that is OK . We are having such a good season and just get better and better 

[Thurman#1]

I'll worry about that after we beat the Ravens and the Pats.

 

Which is quite unlikely.

 

Love how we're playing, though.

13-3 5th seed seems wrong and It’s very possible it could happen. I would say it’s not very likely.   But it has happened  before.  It would be an anomaly just like when the pats missed the playoffs completely at 11-5. The format allows for these things.  The bills Could go into week 17 with nothing to gain and rest guys.  

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

get to 10-3 first.

 

 

at this point of the season, it really is one game at a time.

[JoPoy88]

Let’s hope Houston can help us out on Sunday night and hand NE their 2nd loss. If that happens, some interesting scenarios open up.

They'll beat the pats.

[Doc Brown]

The last 13-3 WC team made the Super Bowl despite an illegal forward pass.  I'd take that.

We would have to Beat the Pats by 9 points I think

And the Chiefs the following week as well.  Then if we beat the Ravens which is a long shot, when we face the Patriots in Foxborough another unlikely, then in this rare scenario we would have the better record.  All of these things are TBD, so as several others said, let’s focus on the Ravens at home.  I’m glad at least we’ll be a home with 75,000 crazy Bills fans.  

 

Lamar better start practicing now the silent count as he’ll never be able to yell out the calls.

I would rather beat them in round 2 of the playoffs than best them for the division.

Yep, I agree.

I am not worried at all about the Pats players.

It sucks, but the Titans went into the Music City Miracle game as a 13-3 wildcard team, I believe.  For the record, I think we finish 12-4, though.

How can you say it’s a “long shot” that we beat the Ravens at home?  Let’s see how they handle SF first.

Mannc, I’m not saying we don’t have a chance, but they are the hottest team in the league, so I stand by my comment.  I respect your’s, we just respectfully disagree.

Patriots need to finish 12-4 for Buffalo to have a chance.. No way they will lose to Cincy or Miami so we can best them in a 13-3 tie breaker.  Fans need to focus on the wildcard race.

I would not call the Bills chances against the Ravens a long shot.  The Ravens will be favored, but I will take the points and the Bills at home every time in this matchup.  Its close to a tossup imho.....

If that happens, so what? What you're saying is the Bills beat the Pats in Foxboro, so they'll just do it again..

[timekills17]

I'll tell you what - if the Bills somehow find a way to beat the Ravens (even at home) and the Pats away, I couldn't care less who or how they get into the playoffs.

We'd already know we can beat anyone then, and it just comes down to how they play the game.

Right now, even with how the dominated the Cowboys, I'm not confident we're as good a team as the Ravens, at least until their offense is "figured out."

But beat them next week - who cares who we beat in the playoffs to get to the Super Bowl, because they will.

I'd see the WC weekend as just one more game we get to watch and enjoy.

Need to get that 10th win first but as you pointed out, our away record bodes very well for a potential playoff run...KC and Houston are looking vulnerable after we manhandled the Cowboys' #1 offense and a legit MVP candidate in Dak.

 

REALLY wouldn't mind it if the Titans stayed hot and won that division either...a playoff game in Nashville might as well be a home game in Buffalo. Imagine the legions of BillsMafia that would travel to see us get some revenge/closure for the Music City Miracle  (Robbery). ?

[BmarvB]

If we go 13-3 and KC beats the pats, We get the division and the #1 seed

I thought the same thing but I was wrong. We’d lose the common opponent tiebreaker only way we’d beat them out with the same record is if they lose to Miami or Cincy

[r00tabaga]

I actually am preferring the road Underdog role. It suits us well and "they" always say...defense travels well.....defense wins road playoff games.....the elements will not affect us regardless of where we play at

 

..... who's with me?

I think we match up VERY well against the Chiefs.  I think we would crush them.

Gettin ahead of yourself a bit there.

Lets beat Baltimore. I really don’t care much if the Bills are a 13-3 five seed or a 10-6 five seed as long as they’re playing good football when the playoffs start.

There's a reason The Red Rifile is starting again boys.....

When's the last time we won the division 95'? I'm thinking he wants 24 dollar donations to that charity of his.
