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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

WickedGame Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 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.

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. 1 hour ago, Ray Stonada said: To lose one and still get in we gotta root against the Bengals, Steelers and Broncos.

stevestojan Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 We really need one pinned thread that is locked and only shows “what the Bills need to happen.” For example, there’s three threads on the topic right now, one that is even titled “bills have 95% chance of getting in with a win in week 17” without any of the scenarios.

I would generally agree because they have some momentum right now, but that is all nullified by the fact that Bills already lost to Pats this year. That alone guarantees a win.
