SCBills Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 There’s only a few different simulations that keep us out with a 3-1 finish, but the problem is those simulations don’t seem far fetched. I’ve done a bunch with us at 10-7 that seem very likely and we get in. Others at 10-7, also make sense, and we don’t get in. With so many teams playing each other down the stretch, it’s impossible to predict what may happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshAllin Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I'd think the bills want the colts out of the playoffs if they make it. So I guess a pats win this week isn't too bad if bills can take care of business the next two weeks Edited December 13, 2021 by motorj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 IF IF IF IF Mitch has to go, wins...wow, what an insurance policy. Glad he is there. His play style helps the team--not a complete 'whiplash' of styles. He does have enough experience, skill, and tools to be successful vs. Panthercam. I still take 9-toe Josh first.... 90% of his toes still work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Both Saturday games are huge for the Bills then. Colts beating the Pats for obvious reasons. A Raiders win over the Browns is also huge for seeding purposes? Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs, Raiders, Colts ( want a shot at the division so a Colts win here helps with that), Titans (we aren't catching them so might as well knock Pitt down as they have the tiebreaker over Buffalo), Bengals, Packers Definitely want the Broncos over Cincy. Give the Bengals that 7th loss because their conference record is superior to ours. Also, Denver's remaining schedule other than that game is brutal with @LV, @LAC, vs. KC. And they have a poor AFC record at 3-5 Edited December 13, 2021 by buffblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills only win 3 games but one of them is against NE, the odds go to >99 % 1 minute ago, Greg S said: If the Lamar injury is serious then I could see the Bengals winning their division. Possibly in which case the Bengals would not be a concern, but who the hell knows how the AFC North is going to turn out. That division will not be decided until late Sunday on the final weekend.

Success Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Feels just like the old days w/ all of this "if this team beats that team, and we win these games, then...." So nostalgic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess a pats win this week isn't too bad if bills can take care of business the next two weeks Yes, and there is also the possibility that the Bills could still win the division even if New England beats the Colts. Bills would have to run the table and root for Miami to beat the Pats week 18 in Miami. Not as farfetched as you may think, given how Miami is playing well and always gives New England a game. I think they are 8-8 in the last 16 against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 4 hours ago, Hebert19 said: I'm shocked we are still in 7 seed. When I took a closer look Cleveland and Cincinnati both look like they will end up with the same or similar conference records... We have a better SOV than both which is shocking. Keep winning KC and Miami. Ha So based on this we win 3 of 4 we should be good for 6 or 7 seed. Anything I'm missing? Maybe. Before yesterday’s results the key game for the Bills ( if they finish with losses to TB and @NE) is Saturday’s matchup between NE and IND. If the Colts defeat NE that result was very damaging to the Bills playoff chances. That may have changed after the other games yesterday. Any idea about that? I haven’t checked the playoff machine since Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So nostalgic. Every season is different and may not be the teams best. However , I will take playoff berths in those years rather than missing out. The nostalgia you mention was almost always missing the postseason. The Bills still have a great chance to get in if they win vs CAR, ATL, and NYJ they’re still in control of their season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what game makes me a little nervous. The Jets game. The Bills will need that game to either win the division or clinch a WC. Remember a few years back the Jets needed a win on the last week of the season to clinch a playoff spot and the Bills ruined their season by beating them. I could see the Jets wanting to get payback for that. You know the NY media will make a big deal of it leading up to the game. I realize the Bills are a much better team but divisional games can be funny since both teams know each other so well.
