They have a lot to lose with a loss.  Puts the Division into play and they could drop all the way down to the 6th seed.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

This game on Monday night will obviously be a playoff like atmosphere, and still with two games left until the actual start of the postseason.....so let's get started a little early, and go get this win on the road.

Trap game for Bills, we got McCorkle after this

The Bills know the implications of this game. I have no doubt they will be ready to play. This game likely comes down to execution and a good break or two. I'd be surprised if the Bills win by 10 or more points.

Bills 100% healthy on offense. 

 

McDermott didn't mention Phillips not practicing. Hopefully that means he's good and if so 100% healthy on defense other than the guys on IR. 

Phillips really cranked his shoulder in New England.

Maybe not a great thing but still it's a really good win for the Bengals. It's not easy going into Foxboro in December. NE was and is fighting for a playoff spot and their defense is good. Let's not make it like it was a nothing burger. 

The bills did it

The last three times the Bills did the games were laughers

My memory is the bills doing well against Cincy poorly against Cleveland, hopefully that holds.

Injury report.  Basham, Knox, Milano, and Jordan Phillips all "limited" but at least out there.

 

Morse full which is great

DBs catching

That's it, tape up Hyde's neck & get Von one of those roller scooters for his bum leg & get 'em back out there. No way we're loosing this gimp game.

[Beck Water]

Our boy Dawson in a red non-contact, which you hate to see.  Hopefully it's still "nothing major"

 

 

[Steptide]

So if by some miracle kc loses Sunday, and we lose Monday, do we stay in first place still? Or does the Bengals go to 1st?

Bengals 1, bills 2, Kc 3

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Morse back in full practice is big. I am also happy to see Benford working his way back.

 

Any Hyde updates?

This take is so last year and, consequently, irrelevant to the current situation.

Is it? They’re also on a 7 game winning streak. I fear them more than KC

Fear, no team, my friend
If the bills are meant to be in the Super Bowl, they will get there

There’s no way we win this game by double digits

 

This is either going to be a defensive battle that nobody expects or a game where the last team that has the bowl wins

Of course there is a way we win by double digits. The Bills if they bring their A game is going to beat any team in the NFL by double digits.

This. Bengals are still playing for division. I don’t understand why everyone keeps talking about their outside shot for the 1 seed. If I’m them I’m focused on winning division. Maybe the 1 seed enters my mind if Denver pulls off the upset. Coming up short on the 1 seed isn’t the end of the world. Coming up short on the division would be a disaster for them.

Bills have allot to lose also....1 seed and our entire season goals come down to this game...we have been in a rat race for the 1 seed this entire season....our players and coaches know full well what homefield advantage means to increasing our chances of getting to the superbowl...Both teams are ready to play..May the best team win..Allen with a healthy ucl would win this game comfortably his injured arm will make this game very close

[BufBills83]

If KC wins Sunday, it is very unlikely that the Cinci can get the 1 seed.  However, even if Baltimore wins Sunday, Cinci can still win the division by beating Baltimore in week 18.  So really, there is more on the line for Buffalo with losing the 1 seed than there is for Cinci in that regardless of outcomes this week, the winner of the AFC North will come down to that week 18 game.

it’s not unfathomable at all that we win by a margin of 10-14 points or so.

It’s entirely reasonable to point to the Bengals accomplishments this year, especially recent accomplishments, and say they look dangerous and it’s going to be a tough game

 

It’s entirely not reasonable to look at the Bengals last season and say “they’re a better team until proven otherwise”.  Last season was last season.

 

This season the Bengals are 11-4 and the Bills are 12-3.  The Bengals are an excellent football team, but so are the Bills.

Of course they do.  That has been discussed ad nauseum this last week.  My point was to bring up looking at the game

from the Bengal's view.

That play could have gone a lot of different ways.

 

It looked like it was blown up at the start regardless and we would have been punting because of the safety and who knows what would have happened with how bad the secondary was that day.

 

Could have just as easily ended in regulation with them winning.

To be clear and I understand your point let me ask you this. If I have a 200 yard race against a cheetah it is a 50/50 result because there are only 2 possible outcomes mathmatically. Am I correct? 

 

Unfortunately, yes. There are two possible outcomes. I'm already super annoyed by this line of argument. I respectfully withdraw the angle.

I'd say not "almost halves", but "more than halves". It's really massive.

 

If we lose, it will most likely go (numbers are obviously just my random guesses):

 

WC at home vs Chargers/Dolphins - 70%

Div on road vs Bengals - 55% (I'd say we will be actually bigger favorites than now since it's hard to beat same team twice in a row)

AFCCG on road vs Chiefs - 50%

SB - 55%

 

If we win:

Bye

Div at home vs Titans/Jags/Ravens - 75%

AFCCG at home vs Chiefs - 55%

SB - 55%

 

So by my numbers we have less than 11% to win SB if we lose and almost 23% if we win. 538 has it even worse - 11% if we lose, 29% if we win - https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-nfl-predictions/. That is brutal difference.

 

All of it is simplified, since loss doesn't automatically means we are 3 seed, both Chiefs and Bengals might still lose another game (and we can also lose to Pats if we win). But it applies in general. This is really a huge game.

 

That’s all mathematics! This is football, it’s why they play the game😬
