Bills win out and Pats lose to Texans/Chiefs and we have the division. Pats currently getting outplayed by the Texans and losing the Chiefs is entirely possible. If the Bills can beat Baltimore winning the final 3 is very feasible. If Bills win out, I believe they would be the #1 seed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nice hypothetical, but i’d Rather win out, and have other playoff teams use all sorts of mental and physical energy planing on how not to lose to us, but that’s just me maybe, Go Bills!!!

To wrap up the WC spot we need to win. there may be some weird circumstance that patriots clinch division and buffalo clinches top WC before that game. they would need to be 3 back of be going into that game. Right now buffalo is 1.5 back of ne pending tonight’s game. they would need to beat pittsburgh new Englald woukd have to win tonight and the next 2 werks for ne to be NE 13-1 BUF 10-4 pittsburg woukd have to lose next week so thry would have 7 lises oakland woukd have to lose 1 indy have to lose one tenn would have to lose 1 then only tenn coukd be 10-6 but not win the division and no other 10-6 teams. Buffalo would get 5 due to their win at Tennessee. if buffalo is tied with Houston st 10-6 Houston would have better conference record and get 5 seed. 6 minutes ago, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: If Bills win out, I believe they would be the #1 seed.

So, while we are capable of beating Baltimore next week, do we want to?? Hear me out..... No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If the Bills don’t win the division it’s best if the Pats get the 1 seed. After the Bills win their WC game they will likely play the 1 seed. I’d rather knock off the Pats in NE than travel to Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option 1 - Win out and take the #1 seed Option 2 - if 5 seed is inevitable, whatever needs to happen for Pats to get ***** You are the Ernie Adams of this place. Option 2 is below you. Option 1 is always the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 OP, you're right. Don't mind the people who don't understand your premise. Assuming we are making the playoffs as the 5 seed and aren't winning the division (which was more of a certainty before this Sunday nighter started) losing to the Ravens would be better for the reasons you mentioned. Obviously you don't go into the game trying to lose. But sometimes it's better in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
