Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 8 hours ago, Stallions said: Losing to the Steelers this Sunday puts our play-off hopes in jeopardy. They have the Jets & Ravens remaining on their schedule. A win over the Jets gives them 10 wins. And, the Ravens may rest their starters for the final game of the season. So, that basically puts our fate in the hands of the Texans & Titans. Tennessee is hot and the Texans just lost to the lowly Bronco’s at home. It would be great if Houston wins the division and the Titans finish 10-6 with the playoff tie-breaker in favor of the Bills. BUT, these teams play each other twice in the last 3 weeks of the season. A scenario could develop with the Titans winning the division and the Texans finishing 10-6. Would we have the tie breaker over Houston with mutual 10-6 records??? I don't think John Harbaugh is a starter-resting kind of guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If we can't beat the a team starting their 3rd string QB, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We need one win. All three remaining game on our schedule are easier than the game we played yesterday. I am very confident the Bills win at LEAST 1 of the next 3. It isn't inconceivable that we could win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure, but it seemed legit. Not sure about that. If we beat the jets and finish 10-6 both the titans and Steelers could finish 11-5 If they win out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 12 hours ago, Westside Madness said: Which is it? There appears to be a path where HOU, TEN, PIT and BUF end up at 10-6. My understanding is that with a 3/4 way tie, head to head is not relevant. Somebody, via tie breakers will win the AFC South, so there is a possibility that there will be three teams for two wildcard spots at 10-6, Buffalo among them. Some are crying, "We beat the Titans, that will knock them out of any tie-breaker with the Bills." Not so fast, my friend. Remember just two years ago when the Bills got in over a Charger team that annihilated Buffalo just a month earlier. That one came down to the fifth tiebreaker I believe. Too much fan bulletin board fodder to decipher, let's see what the NFL puts out officially later this week and just go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans can’t finidh 10-6 in 2nd pkace. Thry grt 10 wins means one against Tennessee thus thry clinvh division because of better division record buffalo needs to win one game and in. in WC buffalo likrly plays at this division winner.

Now I don’t stop watching games until the very last snap. Bills could still win the division. Likely? No. Possible? Yes. It’s A long shot. The emotional wimp in me has wanted to give up a few times but they won't let me this year. Shoot I was sure we were coming back to win the Browns game.

LSHMEAB Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 All I can say is that Titans game was far more important than anyone realized at the time. I could absolutely see a scenario in which we lose the next two and need to win the finale against the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
