Maybe we want to lose to the Ravens?

[Stenbar]

We beat the Ravens next week I think we win out and win the AFC EAST and the top seed. Mark it...

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

There is not a situation imaginable where I wouldn’t want to win this game. Until the Bills are clinched I’m going to be worried that it can still fall apart. Keep playing hard and keep stacking wins. A win against the Ravens would be even more incredible then the Cowboys win. And I do think we have a pretty good shot. I feel good about this game for some reason.

Watching the Ravens/49ers game, two of the best teams in the league, gave me the confidence that the Bills are FINALLY one of the NFLs top teams!  So, while we are capable of beating Baltimore next week, do we want to?? Hear me out.....

 

Beating the Ravens gives them 3 losses.  Patriots are the first seed with 1.  Bills would still have the 5th seed for the playoffs, whether we win or lose. 

 

When -WHEN - the Bills beat the cheaters in 3 weeks, they will have two losses, and lose the tie breaker with Baltimore for the #1 seed in the playoffs.  This is HUGE.

 

We want NE to miss the Super Bowl or else they will tie the Bills amazing record of 4 straight SBs!!!!!!!!

 

The Pats would then have to play Kansas City (most likely) in the second  round of the playoffs.  That's a much harder game than say, Houston or the Steelers.  For the AFC championship game, they would then, maybe, travel to Baltimore, rather being guaranteed home field advantage, where those cheaters have an unbelievable win record. 

 

The Bills on the other hand, will likely meet the Ravens in the second round of the playoffs.  It's hard to beat a good team twice.  We can use this first game as a learning experience, and not show our hand, even setting the Ravens up for our second meeting. 

 

Now that's some 5 dimension chess right there!!!

We need to keep our heads down, play hard, and win as many remaining games that we can.  Then let the end of the season play out.  I believe this is called over thinking.  It is creative though.

So far the Good Guys are winning but I think that overturned TD was very squiffy.  Fortunately it didn’t stop the Texans

Id rather win out,win the division and have home field throughout lol..but that's just me

Can we lock up a Wild Card spot first before we talk about losing games on purpose. smh

[KarmicReset]

This!  And it gave me the idea of a adding to the TD song.  I love the SHOUT song as most Bills fans do, but i'm gonna add 'Taking Care of Business by Bachman Turner Overdrive, as it seems like the 90's Bills have found a worthy young team to get break the Lombardi drought.  They already defeated all the SB teams the 90's lost to. Only fitting they dominated Dallas in their stadium on what they consider their football day, as they beat Bills twice.  Back in the day JK's Bills lifted the old Miami curse, which started the glory years.  I see this young team having the talent and the team unity that can have them take this step and end another draught that has weighed heavily on this team.  Any Buffalonian can attest to having slipped and fallen at some point in their Buffalo winter lives,  and we all still get back up brush the snow/ice off and get back to what needs to be done.   Taking care of business..

This is where good coaching comes into play. Can McD and the coaches keep this team's confidence level up. 

[Blank Stare]

No. There’s no situation imaginable where I wouldn’t want to win this game and put the rest of the NFL on notice.

They have so far.  We may be hitting our peak at the right time.  Houston is controlling the pats tonight.  Currently 21-3.

[letsgoteam]

You take a win whenever you can, because you never know when a fluke or a injury, could cost you a game you think you would normally win.

[Madmax09]

Why would you want the bills to lose? That is ridiculous.

They win win out and NE has to do one of these

 

1 Lose to hou and kc

2 lose to cincinnsti

3 lose to Miami 

 

Pretty sure it's just lose to hou or kc, not both...that gets the pats to two loses, losing to the bills would be three, and with the season series split, I read the next tie breaker is conference record, which if the bills win out, the bills would own that tie breaker.

 

The Bills win next week, and it's legit on for the top seed. That said, Bills also could lose against Bal and the Pats lose to the chiefs, and the division is still up for grabs (I'm assuming the hou game doesn't get crazy).

[Sherlock Holmes]

He did warn us with a hear me our slipped in there...

[HardyBoy]

 

A bit of a scheduling bummer to have both non-predetermined games scheduled back to back for the pats I guess...might be one of the few times I've seen it really matter where a team finishes...hou and kc are tough back to back.

This is the worst post ever written. Have the bills beat the ravens next week. Have the chiefs beat the patriots at 4:30, and then we get the #1 seed ourselves. Whats wrong with you?

[HardyBoy]

If the ravens were an nfc team I'd be on board, but this is just nuts

Anything is possible after reading that we should have been rooting for the Patriots tonight.  How is this possible:

Never speak of these things again. We lose to no one, at any time, for any reason.

The Pats are about to lose, which means we are one game out of the division.  Aim to win the division, nothing really more to say

As Bills fans we should just be worried about making the darn playoffs.  A win against Baltimore basically guarantees it.  Having said that, your scenario is a small consolation prize if we lose.

Some day-- maybe next season?-- threads like this just won't happen.

[DasNootz]

With the loss to Houston.... If Buffalo beats Baltimore and KC Beats NE next week we control our own path to the #1 seed.

 

in that scenario we have the first tie breaker over Baltimore and a better record than NE.   
 

let that sink in - there’s a possible scenario next week, where we have control of the #1 seed!

Based on the information available to us today, the answer is no. This is a great measuring stick game against the now #1 seed in the AFC. Now go kick their a**.
