Virgil Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I’m just gonna say this now. I don’t want to be the 2 seed this first year it doesn’t get a bye week, and then we lose at home to the Ravens. Say what you want, but they are finding their groove and getting dangerous. I’ve been wondering what that kick in the junk moment to bring all this down would be.... That would be it. I’m officially pulling for the Colts to beat the Steelers and Dolphins to beat the Raiders. Then we can rest our starters in week 17, to host the Dolphins in the playoffs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The 2nd seed puts the Bills in a very precarious position. They likely need to win out to keep that position. That means defeating Miami in Week 17, allowing Baltimore to sneak in and take the 7th spot. So by grabbing the 2 seed and beating Miami, you can argue the Bills set themselves up with a tougher opponent than they would have playing the #6 seed in the 3rd seed. But if Indy beats Pittsburgh and the Bills beat NE, then the Bills are locked into the #2 seed in week 16. They can rest starters, let Miami grab #7, and play them again the next week at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore, Cleveland, Tennessee, Indy are all tough opponents. Even Miami’s defense could get a few turnovers to win. So while Baltimore looks tough, so does just about every matchup in the AFC. Also I can’t see Pittsburgh losing 4 in a row..::but we’ll see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want nothing to do with the Ravens No that isn’t true in most cases. You only need the Titans to lose if the Jets defeat the Browns next week. Cleveland plays Pittsburgh in Week 17, and with a loss to Indy, both will be 11-4. Division winner will finish 12-4. That means with a win at NE, the worst Buffalo could finish is 12-4. The best Tennessee and Cleveland/Pittsburgh will finish is 12-4. Bills win a 3 way tiebreaker over any of those teams.

Breaking the drought was a great day... but this has me on another level. This feels like the dawn after a long, long night. LETS GO!!! This weekend has been great but breaking the drought was special. I believe this year we’ll go a lot farther in the playoffs but it was awesome to break the drought. Also, I know this is a hindsight thought (I didn’t want him when we drafted him. That said, that quickly changed) but the best weekend in the last 25 years could very well be when we drafted Josh Allen to be our quarterback of the future. Go, go Buffalo!!!

ganesh Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Yes. Absolutely. I think people are fretting too much about who they want to play in the playoffs... All match ups are going to be tough and not a push over. I agree Miami is probably the weakest of all the likely playoff teams due to a rookie QB. However, you have to go with a 'confident' mindset into the playoffs to take care of business against anyone...that includes the Titans, Ravens, Colts, Browns, Dolphins. I want the Bills to dominate the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens have shown they are not a team that plays well from behind. We’ve pulled out to a lead in most games this year, and also when others have somewhat caught up in a few games, we seem to put the game in another gear and pull it out. The Ravens are a running team, and we can score much faster. Personally, I hope the Steelers win the first round, amd that whining knucklehead dances again on our logo, so insert (Milano, Poyer, Hyde) metaphorically decapitate him. I don’t mean seriously injured as much as this guys makes me want to move away from my general principle about not wanting guys getting hurt, but ring his bell knocking him out if the game so he has an entire season thinking of how stupid he was when the team was in a free fall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but if Pittsburgh loses and Cleveland beats the Jets both teams go into the game at 11-4. That means the division winner will be 12-4 as well. So in a 3 way tiebreaker, the Bills would win.

The planetary alignment of Jupiter and Saturn happens about every 20 years, but the it's been almost 400 years since the planets aligned on the Winter Solstice (1623) and it's been nearly 800 years since the alignment took place at night so that it could actually be seen by people.

Squealer fans can bemoan thier losses on the D but Old Fat Ben has looked horrible. I put almost all of the losses on him.....Bills did pretty much had their way against the weakened D but you play who is in front of you. I will say - pretty much any team in the AFC is a tough out. No matter where the seeding is all the teams coming into the platoffs are looking purdy dang good. I do like the Bills chances tho!!

SoCal Deek Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It’s interesting that many Bills fans are just now figuring out that when you make the playoffs you’re pretty much guaranteeing that you’ll be playing against really good teams from here on out. I guess that’s what happens when you’re used to watching from home. The difference is that in 2020 the Bills aren’t backing in. WE ARE a really good team!
