The Division title is only at stake for the Pats. Even if we win both remaining games and Pats* lose out, it’s just a banner for the stadium. We can’t earn a bye as the Pats likely won’t either. If we do win tomorrow, we’ll have to play our starters very deep into the Jets game as well for a chance at the banner, further exposing them to injury in consecutive virtually meaningless games. Then we play a week later for keeps. But, it’s the Patriots. So we’re gonna give it our best. It’s meaningless. We’re locked in at the 5 spot. just food for thought. The likelihood is small, but the Bills could still get the #2 seed if 4 games go there way .. they need to beat New England, we need to beat the Jets, Pats need to lose to the Amish Rifle, and the Chiefs need to lose one of their last two games.This would be a improbable outcome but not by any stretch impossible. Having recently seen the lowly Bengals surprise the Ravens who needed a victory to make the playoffs .. I am not writing off the opportunity ... BILLieve! Go Bills!

I don't view it as meaningless at all It shows this team plays to win period Gives this team confidence heading into the playoffs It has a small chance of winning the division Winning the division gives us a home playoff game Even not winning the vision has the chance of the Pats only getting the 3rd seed which means no bye for them and they would most likely play on the road if they win the WC game None of that is meaningless to me Edited December 21, 2019 by Scott7975 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkScrewHill Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Very well done article from the Boston Herald .. on the Big brother relations between Pats and Bills.. https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2019/12/20/little-brother-bills-are-growing-up-but-the-big-brother-patriots-still-know-how-to-take-them-down Some highlights: "Brady is clearly ailing — when Belichick acknowledges, as he did this week, that the injury has cost Brady practice time, you know his elbow issue isn’t an excuse but rather a serious problem. Josh McDaniels and Belichick are not going to ask Brady to carry them, or do anything close to that. He’s not capable of it right now. Instead, they’ll try to keep Sony Michel (89 yards against the Bengals) and the running game trending the right way " " I don’t believe this is the week the Bills get that meaningful victory and the “mafia’’ comes out on top in the end. I can’t pick against Belichick and Brady in December, when something real is at stake. But it’s not going to be easy for the Patriots to prevail this time. The Bills are good. " and a stat I found interesting: " Allen has significantly cut back on his mistakes since the Patriots game: Since the loss, he’s thrown 15 touchdown passes to just three interceptions in a 10-game span. In the same stretch, Brady has 14 touchdown passes and six picks. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be our first AFC East title since 1995 and our first home playoff game since 1996. I think it would be a very big deal to end both of those very long droughts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we can overcome it, and we CAN; it will be a beautiful thing! Go Bills!! I don't feel that will be the case anymore - the refs pushing for the Pats. Logically, that ship has sailed. The league has to focus on FUTURE match-ups, rivalries, and "villans". I think focus will be all on building the NEW stars of the NFL. The Pats are history as far as "favors" go... This is based on my constant surprise while watching Pats games this year. Surprised at the number of penalties called against THEM (for a change). Just a feeling... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we beat them it is likely that they lose the bye to KC. So there's more than a little at stake if we value knocking them down a peg. I think it is better for everyone if Brady doesn't have time to rest up that elbow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We win out, finish 12-4 Pats lose out, finish 11-5 Chiefs drop 1, finish 11-5 texans Win out, finish 11-5 Ravens 1 Bills 2 seems unlikely, but not impossible.
