CorkScrewHill Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 There are three very important games for the Bills and then some that are nice to haves. 1) Bills vs Bengals .. obviously 2) Steelers at Baltimore - need Baltimore to win to make the following weeks game a win for the AFC North title. In the event that the Bengals beat the Bills this provides the only other way the Bills could hold on to the one seed. Would need a loss by the Chiefs in one of their last two games. Regardless if Baltimore wins out and the Bills win one we are at worst the 2 seed. Basically sets up a reverse scenario of 2017 needing the Ravens to beat the Bengals. 3) Denver at Chiefs .. sigh .. the Chiefs are catching some massive breaks. other games 4) Jets at Seattle. The Jets D is tough .. I do not want to see them in the playoffs. 5) Dolphins at Patriots. I would like to see the Dolphins in this one as it may give the Pats less reason to put up a fight in the last game … as they would be eliminated from playoff contention Would be interested in other thoughts on games of importance.

Bills fan since 87 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Even if we lose to Cincy that Bengals/Baltimore week 18 game is still important.

Assuming the Chiefs win out the 2 seed would be in play. We'd much rather have 2 home games than 1 and another likely trip to Cincinnati in round 2 That's true! I also think one of the most important aspects of getting the #1 seed is that the #2 & #3 will play each other in the second round (baring an upset.) So the #1 seed will only have one game against the big three. While the winner of #2 v #3 will have to play two of the big three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strive_for_five_guy Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I know it’s a pipe dream, but a perfect sequence this weekend would be Chiefs somehow lose to the Broncos, and then we beat the Bengals to clinch the 1 seed already.

eball Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Regarding the Fish/Pats*** game -- I don't agree that a Miami win is better for Buffalo because the Pats*** are eliminated going into the last game. A team with nothing to play for also has nothing to lose. Besides, I don't want the Fish to make the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they care on the scenario on who they sent into the playoffs? Like it might be a win and in scenario for NE and if they lost Miami might get in. IMO (and probably most) Miami would be a stronger threat to KC than NE. Would be interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets beat Seattle and Miami, then Jets fans would lose their minds if the Bills played their backups against NE. The Jets have to win both and have NE lose one. I don't see NE losing at home to a Teddy Bridgewater led Dolphins team. Belichick usually has a game plan that crushes average QB's like TB.

AuntieEm Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Process said: Bills win on Monday they are the 1 seed. Lose we are 3. Just win baby. It's as simple as that. At this point the Bills get what they earn. If they wish to have a week off then they know what they need. If they win or lose only the path changes but the goal remains the same. As a fan I would prefer they win out because I enjoy Bills wins much more than the loses, though to be honest any Bills game with Josh Allen as Qb has been entertaining so I would be upset for the players if they fail to reach their goal of SB Champs, but I'll have likely seen some amazing football games because I expect this Bills team to have learned their football lessons well to not lose their focus. They have weathered the football storms and bounced back after dealing with some adversity. They will earn what their play deserves and we just have the pleasure of watching them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unlikely but not impossible for them to lose one of those games. They almost blew a 27-0 lead against these very same Broncos the week before KC's game against the Texans. That's even after Wilson left the game with a concussion, which normally wouldn't be that big of a deal this year, but it was the only time Russell has been hot this year throwing for 3 tds in 3:32 of game time prior to his leaving. Rypien then came I'm and threw a td to cut the lead to 34-28. Had a couple drives with a chance to win it, but couldn't. Denver's defense picked Mahomes off 3 times that game.

If we lose on Monday, we want Ravens to win, so we can be seed 2. But if we win, we want Bengals to beat Ravens, so we can play Ravens after the bye (if they beat Jags/Titans), and let Bengals/Chiefs fight each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
