bigbuffs Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I just spent a large portion of the evening playing around on espn’s playoff machine. And it seems that as long as we beat the Steelers we could lose the rest of our games and still get in at 10-6. In fact there is a scenario where both us and the Steelers make it if there is a tie at 10-6 with Buffalo, Tennessee, Houston, Indy and Pitt. Now there are probably still some scenarios I didn’t get but believe me I covered plenty. I also never explored ties but as far as getting in goes, we need to beat Pittsburgh. If they get the tiebreaker over it's going to be much more difficult to get in. Edited December 2, 2019 by bigbuffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nah. Win them all and take the division. Let the Pats lose in the wildcard round and completely decimate their fan base for once. 12 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get the tiebreaker over it's going to be much more difficult to get in. Tennessee's remaining schedule is as brutal as ours. They have the Saints and Texans X2, and the Raiders on the road. 2 possibly 3 losses right there if not 4. Bills only need to worry about who they play and are capable of beating any of the 4 left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yup. I did the same with the NY Times playoff machine and that's the one. We are in with that win regardless of the outcomes of the other games. If we were to hypothetically win one other and drop three, there's not the same certainty- close, but not in.

Of course that would change things but I was trying to explore worst case scenario type results from all the other teams. We could lose every one of these last 4 games and still make it if the stars align. But the point is, if we beat Pittsburgh it seems we may be all but guaranteed a playoff spot.

No I got you, I understand. I was curious if Pittsburgh loses next week, does that make the Buf-Pit game still crucial game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'd like to clinch next week if at all possible. Beat the Ravens. Steelers lose at Murray and the Cardinals. Titans lose at the Raiders. Could maybe clinch a playoff spot? And oddly enough, I now feel more confident in beating the Steelers with the game moved to Sunday Night for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'm feeling good right now. So good, but one game at a time. Realistically, we should win 2 out of 4 and be the 5th seed. Its jus so freaking good not to be 6 and 6 right now like we seem to be every other year, hoping 9 and 7 might get us in on tie breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
