Tuco Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Westside Madness said: When the day started, PIT was #6 and TEN was not in. They both lost. When the day ended TEN was #6 and PIT was not in. Was there a strength of victory flip or something? There isn't a head to head... Sort of. When the day started Pitt was ahead in conference record, 6-4 while Tennessee was 6-5. So Pitt owned the tiebreaker. Since they lost to the Jesters, Pitt's conference record is now also 6-5, so the tiebreaker now belongs to Tennessee via strength of victory.

ComradeKayAdams Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 19 minutes ago, RiotAct said: that would be awesome if the Raiders actually made it in! I hope it happens. I feel bad for the city of Oakland, so it would be nice for them to make a cinderella run all the way to the AFC Conference Championship, only to lose abruptly to the Bills by the score of 51-3. Want to know something crazy? It's possible that only 10 NFL teams finish above .500 this season, though it would require the Titans, Steelers, Eagles, and Rams to all lose next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An above average starter who has been streaky his whole career.. he will play like a probowler and then like a back up He's not even above average.

MDH Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 6 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: Pittsburgh all day Titans are a lot tougher. Exactly, Titans have an okay shot at winning in KC whereas Pit has no shot. If they win the 6 seed automatically goes to Baltimore for the division round which would put the Bills back in NE, a much more desirable 2nd round game. Steelers getting in doesn’t help the Bills at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never been a bottom 5 QB and is statistically better than Fitz who has thrown for 30 k yards so I would maybe give him a slight bump to slightly above average I don't think he is a world beater by any means but he weathered the ups and downs of a QBs career and outplayed #2 pick Mariota.. on a good day he is actually a good QB...

unclepete Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 7 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: What interests me with Tannehill is that a couple years back he was impossibly bad throwing the ball long. That was basically the point when they lost hope in him. He's flipped that somehow and found touch/accuracy on downfield throws. Allen should find out what helped him. The healthy last year in Miami he was one of the best deep ball throwers. Just dealt with a lot of injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a bad day, which alot happened against buffalo, he's bad I still see him as exactly average and a perfect measuring stick as a QB. If you are better than Tannehill you'll have a decent career at least. Worse, your team will be looking for someone else in a couple years. It's almost the worst place to be, because he's good enough to win some games so you don't want to cut ties unless you are sure you have someone better, but he'll never get you a championship. Kind of like Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like Dalton. There are dozens and dozens of QBs who "cannot win you a championship" and yet had good careers as NFL QBs And then guys like Dilfer and Foles won SBs and Dalton IS better than them At the end of the day , not everybody is all pro caliber and that doesn't mean you didn't have a successful career Fitz has had a tremendous career and he would be put into the "can't win a championship".. Im not a fan of tannehill as a QB but when teams have a guy of his caliber , they usually keep him for over 5-6 years because as you said replacing him without getting a top pick is hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayray808 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 YES! Titans over Chiefs Bills over Texans Ravens vs Titans Bills vs Pats Itʻs our best shot to the AFC championship either at home vs Tennessee but most likely on the road vs Baltimore.

BigBuff423 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I loathe the idea of going into Houston. Yes their Offensive Line struggles but Watson makes up for that - and then some. Their Defense is better than advertised and playing in a dome for the Bills who've been now getting colder weather in their veins could spell trouble for conditioning. To me, out of the possible scenarios - KC is the better team for the Bills to play. No team is going to be easy for the Bills since they're still really a year away in having 3-4 positions added for true Super Bowl contender talent and another year of experience for the young players, i.e. Allen / Edmunds / Singletary and Knox. That said, the teeth of this Defense is their Pass Defense and the strength of the KC Offense is their passing game. It would allow the Bills to almost exclusively focus on stopping Mahomes and essentially situationally react to their running game. Additionally, the weather might be one that is more conducive to a defensive struggle, which plays into the Bills' strengths as well. I'm not saying Mahomes would be / will be easy to beat, just that based on where this team is now and where their areas of strengths are - you'd want the Bills to run, control the clock, and make a few plays via passing in the cold rather than getting into a track meet in a dome.

We could do it if Josh was throwing the ball like Tanehill which i hate to say because i thought he wasn't that good in Miami, but since he came aboard here in Nashville & had to sit the bench for a bit the Titans were doing worse before with Mariotta . If Josh can play consistent the games would be much better & a championship wouldn't be far fetched !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
