Best Case Scenario for AFC Playoffs

[boater]

Summary: lower seeded teams knockoff higher seeded teams, so the Bills have less dirty work.

While he's not officially out. He missed practice again for the sixth straight week, I would be shocked if he played.

He is probably waiting for Ravens to give him guaranteed contract extension as he is entitled to as former MVP.

Jackson’s backup isn’t even throwing in practice. It’s a layup for us and cincy to play a rematch.

Win

Then win a game in Feb.

I agree his contract should have been worked out. Last I heard Lamar pulled the plug on contract talks when season began. Maybe if they offered a new\good contract he would except. I think the Ravens will be sorry that they didn't get a deal done this year.

Unless Anthony Brown can transform into Lamar Jackson between now and then, I don't see them having much of a chance.  Two picks and a 46 QB rating isn't going to get it done.

   We will know soon enough if they have a chance.  I 

Don't count the underdogs a chance because ea.ch year there are how the heck did  team a beat team b.

   Maybe they won't win by passing but defensive to's and the Ravens ground and pound leaving burrows and his offense on sidelines watching.

Bengals are not losing to the Ravens.  So there goes that.

Oh I think there is a possibility. It took 5 Raven turnovers and a 3rd string QB for Cinci to beat Baltimore by 11 point on Sunday.

[nosejob]

Jags beat Bolts and go to upset K.C.  Ravens beat Cincy then come to Buffalo. Bills host Jags for AFCCG. IS that possible? ....assuming we beat Miami...or is there at least a scenario where Cincy has to come here?

 

I'm really starting to dig on the Jags. They can beat anyone in this turney except the Bills.

The game was never really as close as the score shows.  Cincy was up 24-7 at halftime. The Bills beat NE by 12 and that game was much more competitive than the Bengals-Ravens game.

They do that it seems. The week before they went up 22-0 on NE and then almost lost.

OK and?  NE played us tougher than Baltimore played Cincy.  The game was really never in doubt.  The game was literally a two score lead or more the entire game.

And it’s unlikely a team gets 5 turnovers for consecutive weeks.

And therefore the game will likely be much closer and I can even see Baltimore pulling the upset under the right circumstances.

Expand  

But they did get 5 turnovers and when you have backups at QB and RB, who aren't as talented as the starters, the offense is going to suffer. Not to mention, with Lamar out, you not only removed their starting QB, but also their best runner.

 

And it wasn't just turnovers. Anthony Brown was under 50% completion and was sacked 4 times.

 

I'm sure the Bills would love to play games where they won and led by at least 2 scores the entire game.

Lamar isn't playing.  Huntley is likely out too.  So that leaves another road game in Cincy for Anthony Brown.  Get ready for Bills vs. Bengals in 10 days fellas.

Expand  

for all you know burrow blows a knee out on the third play, but yes, it’s a long shot - especially if Lamar is out.

Bills smash Dolphins - Ravens defeat Bengals - Jags defeat Bolts

Rd 3:

Ravens come to Buffalo and get SMASHED in the AFC Championship game by our Bills of destiny!

 

No KC or Cincy.  No neutral site. SB LVII road runs thru Orchard Park.

OMG!! I’m dreaming…. Go Bills!!

I am resigned to the fact our road to the SB will include a meet up with the Bengals. They are the team to beat. After watching our secondary get carved up last week by mediocre Mac Jones, it gives one pause.

Expand  

Green lighting: I agree with you it’s up to our pass rush to get some kind of pressure! Mac had 5-6 seconds to scan the field & throw the ball. Burrow will eat us alive- but if Micah & Po get back for this game- could make Allthe difference in the world! Go Bills!

So who matches up better against the Chiefs,  Jax or Chargers???  I would say Jax does because of their team speed. But its hard to beat a team 3 times in 1 year as well and Chargers are familiar with KC.  

Expand  

Jags are probably going to crush the Chargers. 
 

For the Jags to beat KC, they would have to have a monster day on defense. I think they can score more than usual against KC’s bad defense but will need some help.
