Don't get me wrong... of all the wild card teams they're the one I don't want the Bills to play but beating up on Cincy, Jags, and the NFC East doesn't strike fear into me. They've played 5 playoff teams. Losses to: Steelers, Ravens, Raiders Wins against: Colts, Titans. Hate to say this but the 2020 Browns kind of remind me of the 219 Buffalo Bills in terms of a soft schedule being a benefit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Limeaid said: Giants have also been playing better. Giants have won four straight (including Seattle), are in first in their division (for what that is worth) and playing some solid defense and they even found a way to win without Jones. Honestly, this should be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills fan since 87 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 49 minutes ago, Greg S said: I believe there is no MNF week 17 but they do flex a game into SNF. Yes, Sunday night. Misunderstood, thought that's what we were talking about. You're correct, no Monday night game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come week 17 Bills will either have the #2 seed or be in position for the #2 seed if Steelers lose. And if they hold the #2 seed they will likely need to beat Miami to keep it. Do we really want the 2 seed? No bye so we would probably play the tougher team that week. On the other hand it could give an extra home game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AFC is pretty strong this year so no matter who the Bills play it will be a tough opponent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 1 seed got upset, would keep home field until the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess America doesn't want to watch "America's team". I wonder if Buffalo and Miami gets flexed in week 17. I guess it depends on playoff possibilities for certain teams. Even if Buffalo has the division clinched the fins may still be fighting for a WC. It's 2 good teams, a rivalry game with Allen and Tua. Likely there will be one CBS game flexed to the 4:00 slot which both the Bills Miami game and the Pitt Cleveland game are. There will also be one game flexed to Sunday night from either the CBS or Fox side. There are also two 4:00 Fox games scheduled, involving all four NFC west teams which good chance all four could still be in playoff chase at a minimum both games could determine seeding so as has been mentioned above likely they will want to keep both of those games going at the same time which they can do by keeping at 4;00 on Fox . So that leaves the Bills Miami game and the Pitt Cleveland game as the two most likely IMO to be moved to Sunday night and the other to 4:00 on CBS. Excluding those 4:00 Fox games, those are also the only two games where both teams are likely in the playoffs and could determine either division or wildcard seeding.

Oddly enough in the NFC it will be best to manage to slip out of winning the division to be the top wild card, so you can play whomever crawls out of the NFC East. 2020 is wild.

The Giants have won 4 in a row and their D seems pretty solid. Washington is another team with a strong defense. I agree that it is better to match up against one of these teams but I don't think it will be as easy as some might think. Of course teams will want to avoid NO/GB if they can.
