What sucks is the Bills dropping multiple games they had the lead in late in the 4th quarter. Then the Miami split tie breaker wouldn't matter

I don’t look at it that way at all. I look at like the playoffs start a week early for the Bills. Which as a fan I prefer over a meaningless Week 18 game.

I’m assuming KC will still hang on to win the AFC West.  Gonna need them to get right at month end to dispose of Cincinnati on 12/31.

Rooting hard for Detroit over Denver this weekend too, among other games. 

 

Bills obviously need to take care of their business.

I came here for this argument. Wouldn’t it be possible for the Chiefs to go on a bender and the Broncos take the AFCW. Meanwhile we beat the Chiefs for a wildcard in that scenario since we already beat them. Idk. There’s so many different ways it could happen. No one is more right than another at this point. Each week we get closer to getting those answers tho.

It’s such a strange final 4 games for those clubs because they both play NE, Raiders and Chargers. The difference is Denver has the harder road game @ Detroit and KC gets the Bengals at home.  While i think Jake Browning is playing over his head right now i just cannot see KC losing a 4th game at Arrowhead this season, can you?

There is a scenario where if the Bills beat Miami, they win the division and if they lose, they miss the playoffs altogether. 
 

Which is to say the “percentage” chance to make the playoffs means virtually nothing. I don’t want to be in a scenario where we’re 64% to make the playoffs and 50% to win the division, but lose the game and it drops to 0%. 
 

Just. Beat. Dallas.

I was listening to ESPN radio on my way to work this evening (penance for something really bad that I did) and they were really talking up the Browns' playoff chances because Flacco was now their QB.

 

Flacco?  

 

Like I said, it was ESPN...

It's due there schedule left and their offense looked really good last week. I think they make it and the Bengals make it. The last spot comes down Buffalo, Miami and Denver.

To lose one and still get in we gotta root against the Bengals, Steelers and Broncos.

 

I do feel we can lose to the Dolphins. Their offense impresses. Doesn't need Tua to have a stronger arm than he has.

 


If we are able to lock up a WC berth next weekend and Miami wins too, do we rest players in Week 18???  Seems like we would want to.  We’d only be playing for seed 6 or 7.

Just have to get Tua off his 1st read and he's a bum

 

McD has done great over AFC East QBs

Browning came crashing back to earth against the Steelers and will likely continue. Easiest time to look good is the first few games before DCs get a bead on you.

 

Meh QBs usually don't continue to look amazing for long.

Until Tua has to play off schedule and then he looks bad.

84% chance now!

 

Win out: We in

 

Beat the Pats and lose to the Fins: 79%

Losing to those frauds isn't an option.  After Baltimore dominates them, the mafia will take over that stadium, it'll be like today when they had to use a silent count cause the crowd noise from Cowboys fans. Embarrassing for a 10-4 team at home

The "let's go Cowboys" at the start of the Phins final drive was very audible.

The Patriots are not a push over to look past. We have two division games that we need to come out focused and play mistake free "complimentary" football.  The goal is in sight, especially if Baltimore takes care of business against Miami.

 

Their D could cause issues if the Bills don't come out ready to play.
