Both games are 7pm est

Thanks, I was thinking maybe it was a time zone thing from the screenshot that was posted, but apparently it was just inaccurate all together. I’m not sure why the Rams game isn’t a 10pm eastern time slot. It’d seem more convenient for LA fans at 7pm on a weeknight.

As of now it doesn't matter much.  What matters is 2 teams with the same record (currently) as the Bills and someone will lose (except tie).

Agree, alot can happen down the stretch..let me lay it out:

 

IF, and hopefully not, but if we lose to NE and finish 10-7, we can only get 7th seed if we get the following

1. steelers a 7th loss: very likely to happen next week

2. Get 2 of 3 teams (Browns, Bengals, Ravens) to 8 losses

 

Remaining schedules:

Browns: Raiders, Pack, Steelers, and Bengals

Bengals: Ravens, Chiefs, and Browns

Ravens: Bengals, Rams, and Steelers

 

This is why Pack win over Ravens today was very big, as of now.  

 

We will become BIG fans of:

1. Chiefs, hard to day this but true

2. Rams and Pack, respective weeks

3. Very likely Steelers, to play spoiler role

4. Of course Raiders, tomorrow night

 

A Raiders win tomorrow night would be a game changer, really boosting our chances.  At which point, I'd think Ravens beating Bengals next week would be our rooting interest (hoping Chiefs win 2 straight, over Pitt and Bengals, and Pack then over Browns) and put us in the driver seat rest of way for a WC.

 

All that to say, just beat NE and win the dang division.  We don't want to go in as a 7th and face a major uphill battle in the playoffs.

Hard to believe we were down 24-3 to these guys in the blink of an eye.


i have a theory about this. Seems like every time the Bills play a really good offensive team, McD and company do a nice job of developing a defensive blueprint. Sometimes it works— but even when it doesn’t entirely, it is always replicated by other teams the following weeks. 
 

For example, i feel like this happened when we developed the blueprint on how to slow Lamar Jackson a few years ago.  You sort of wonder if NO May be doing some of the same stuff we did in the second half last week?

Uh no, the saints have always played the bucs good, before Brady got there and with Brady their, this is a divisional opponent, they didn't need any McDermott blue print. They already beat Tampa once earlier
