Today is another example of why our season isn’t over (Updated - 1/7 - WE’RE IN as the 2 seed!)


Recommended Posts

And the examples keep piling in...

 

Texans get blown out by the Jets

Colts get blown out by the Bengals

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, our Bills just beat the Chiefs in their house for the third straight year at their house (regular season)

 

We are now tied record wise for the last playoff spot. Go Bills!

Yeah I don't understand why people think "that could never happen" when every year we see examples of 1 win teams that string a few wins together late in the year and other improbable wins that are very unlikely when looking at the matchup on paper.  Except the game isn't played on paper...if it was, the Bills would likely be tied for the 1 seed with the Ravens right now.

 

Too bad the Jags couldn't have pulled out the win against the Browns.

Any thing could always happen in any game but even more so this year because most of these teams we are competing for a wildcard with are flat out bad 

 

I couldn’t help but laugh seein the posts like ‘I picked favorites and the bills have no shot at the playoffs’ and they had the Texans and Steelers at 12 wins 😂

Meanwhile the Steelers became the first team in NFL history to have a winning record and lose to teams with 8+ more losses than wins in back to back games. Steelers are a 4-9/5-8 team masquerading as a playoff team.

Two more steamroll in on the example train…

 

Two 7-6 teams fall today and now have seven losses.

 

Steelers

Broncos (most important game of the day as they have the easiest remaining schedule of almost everyone in the hunt at least on paper)

 

Go get it, Buffalo. Go Bills!

If only the Bungles didn't have that comeback.

It definitely would’ve been awesome for them to lose, bro.
 

That said, the game that was most important was the Broncos game because they have the easiest remaining schedule.

 

The Bengals still have the Steelers, Chiefs and Browns. I know the Steelers aren’t good, but the Bengals have not won a division game all year.

 

Go Bills!

Bengals winning wasn't horrible.  The point of this thread was that all of the log jammed wildcard teams weren't going to win out.   Some people are simulating half a dozen mediocre teams winning out and seeing that the Bills have no chance.  Yesterday 2/4 of the 7-6 teams lost.  That's likely to continue.  There will be a team that wins out.  Who knows which team it will be.  But no matter what you think of a teams schedule, they are likely to still lose a game or two that they shouldn't or win one you thought they had no chance in.  It's why if the Bills go 3-1 (this is a scenario assumption, not saying it will happen), they still have a pretty good shot at the wildcard.  They also have a decent shot at missing at 3-1. 

 

People can't handle that 60% means we are more likely than not to be in at this point.  It also means we may still miss the playoffs.

At this time of the year there are no "gimme games".  Remember the Jags losing to the terrible Colts?

Posted (edited)

The Colts will probably be a wild card winner.  The Browns and Bengals will be right up there too and unfortunately the Bengals have the tie breaker.  

Best chance is to win the division by winning 3 of the last 4 including the Dolphins game and the Dolphins lose to Ravens and Cowboys.
