We only need Denver loss (hopefully tonight), Cinci loss, Pitt loss. The tweet made it way more convuluted and difficult. @mrags If JAX L then only 2 of 3 needed. A JAX loss means the 2nd place south team will be under 10 wins. Thus only need one other possible 10 win team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) 19 minutes ago, HappyDays said: If the Pats/Broncos result holds (which seems likely now), we clinch a playoff spot next week with just these 3 probable results: 1) We beat the Pats 2) Chiefs beat the Bengals 3) Seahawks beat the Steelers 2 or 3 can be replaced with the Jaguars losing to the Panthers (not likely) or the Colts and Texans both losing to the Raiders and Titans respectively (also not likely). Jags have lost 4 straight. I wouldnt be surprised by them losing to anyone really. Also likely will be without Lawrence.

HappyDays Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 3 minutes ago, Georgia Bill said: If those likely 3 items happen and we clinch next week, AND Miami manages to beat the Ravens next week (forgive me for the juju), it would seem we would have little to play for in Miami outside of some slight advantage in seeding, is that correct? Is it conceivable we would rest starters and essentially let Miami have the one seed? I don't think we would rest our starters, but I doubt us or Miami would really give that game their all considering a potential rematch could be in play the following week in the wildcard round. No need to show Miami our full bag of tricks in a game that would essentially be meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 32 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: You're right! With Cleveland at #5, if you then you concede that two teams will come out of the AFC South at 10-7 (one division winner, one WC) and a third will be 9-8 at best (which is guaranteed because of IND-HOU matchup), that means there is one WC left for BUF/DEN/PIT/CIN. And as I said long ago, all this talk about tiebreakers will be moot and 10-7 will make it because it does 99% of the time. The seeding stuff was correct. The only thing that was incorrect was the playoff clinching at the end, because it's actually easier than the tweet suggested. There will be a be a new tweet. I think 10-7 would make it for some team - just not sure it’s us (tiebreakers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 52 minutes ago, Freak-O said: And the other teams? They have no bad losses in their 8-7 records? They deserve to get in? I think you ought to send an email to the NFL and propose a rule change, in which after a 17 game season a message board user with a very ironic user name decides what teams deserve to be in the playoffs. You’re misunderstanding me. Nothing to do with who “deserves” to get in. I simply don’t see us going anywhere if we can’t beat a 4-11 NE team or an overrated Miami squad.

dma0034 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I obviously want the Bills to get the 2 seed but I'd also like it if the Chiefs didn't get the 2 seed. Like I want that team to go on the road for the playoffs so bad. I want them to be the 3 seed and Bills the 2 seed and have them come in to Buffalo for the Divisional Round 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donuts and Doritos Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 Santa didn't bring a Cowboys win. But he did bring a Buccaneers win & Bills make the playoffs if they play nice the next 2 games. I asked Santa for the Bills to get a Lombardi. & I've been extra good.

Any 2 vs 3 would be the 2nd round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 DEN comeback win over NE tonight was absolutely crushing.
