machine gun kelly Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 7 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: The Dolphins are three games ahead of the Bills. A week 17 win still requires 2 more Dolphin losses to tie them. They play Titans, Jets, Ravens,Dallas,and Bills. They could drop 2 of those but 4 of 5 are at home including Dallas. More realistic shot is a WC and they will still need some help. Ethan, they only have to drop to the Cowboys and Baltimore. We beat them and we win the head to head as we’re both 11-6 with us sweeping them. Not four. 6 hours ago, Scott7975 said: Well they destroyed the Colts today and the Vikings are trash without Cousins so... Hows that? Are you assuming Miami loses 3 games, one of them being us out of the next 5? It's unlikely they lose to the Titans or Jets. Maybe the Cowboys and Ravens but I think the Ravens are paper tigers. Yep, I’m guessing if we beat the Cowboys, then we win throughout, and I don’t see the Fish beating the Ravens and Cowboys. So yes, we can finish both 11-6.

Especially if we beat Dallas this week. That put us at four and one out of conference. Meaning our in-conference record is going to be one of the worst between all of the teams tied. but if we beat Dallas, at that point, just win out and don’t let tiebreakers come in to play. If we win just our remaining AFC games our conference record will be 7-5 which actually isn’t too bad. Could help us win a 3 or 4 team tiebreaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zach plays next week like he did the 2nd half yesterday, then maybe an upset can happen. That defense will keep them in it if they get help from the offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Three games this Saturday on the NFLN and all of them are of interest to Bills fans. Minnesota at Cincinnati. Go Vikings Pittsburgh at Indianapolis. Not sure who we want here. Denver at Detroit. Go Lions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, if we win the rest of our AFC games(LA,NE,Miami) our conference record will be 7-5 and that is actually a very typical record for a WC team. Thats why people are saying that the Dallas game is the least important of the games left. If the Bills lose this one, its not a deathblow but beating the Cowboys and then going 2-1 against the AFC teams will be much tougher.

Definitely want Pittsburgh to win. They have a tough schedule and should lose at least 2. If Herbert is done for the year the Broncos have a very easy last 3 games. Need them to lose to Detroit.

Yes the Cowboys and the Ravens and us we would take the division. Im just not so sure they lose to the Ravens. I know they have a great record but I seen some of their play and I dont think they are as good as their record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins will lose at least one of the next two games, probably against the Jets. You folks are forgetting that the Dolphins have zero homefield advantage late in the season. Northern teams love to go down there to play in December and January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not likely but it is still possible for Denver to take the division over the Chiefs. The Chiefs would have to lose to a bad team though I think as they have a cupcake schedule. If that happened it would take Denver out of the head to head and we have the head to head on the Chiefs. I haven't really simulated that to see how it would work out. Just something I thought of checking out. 3 minutes ago, Gregg said: The Dolphins game with the Ravens is in Baltimore. I am guessing the Ravens will be a slight favorite in that one.

Any given Sunday... or whatever day they are playing those teams. Maybe the Titans even pull off the fluke tonight. Im not counting on it but I can still root for it. Nothing I would love more right now than killing the Dolphins fans cockyness of thinking they have the division locked by beating them again and taking it back. (obviously a superbowl I would love more but short term thats my hope) I hate Dolphin fans with a passion.

TheFunPolice Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Dallas is beating someone in the AFC East, so hopefully it's Miami after we beat them this weekend and send them into "must win" mode for playoff seeding. All we need is to beat Dallas and take care of 2 cupcakes. If we do that, it could very well come down to a game in Miami to determine the division title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking we’re going to some pretty solid fan representation there. Would be so awesome to have the division on the line and be there to watch us win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know upsets happen all the time. Just look at who the Bills lost to this year so nothing is guaranteed. But I do believe if the Bills beat the Cowboys, then they will be 10-6 going into the Dolphins game. Will it be for the division I don't know but the Bills will beat the Chargers and Pats IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
