Titans will help 


I actually think there’s a decent chance

 

Vrabel had a rant about how much he hates losing.
 

Tanny will want to show he can still be an NFL QB.  

 

Hopkins has a chance to earn $$$ with incentives

 

Henry could be playing his last game there

So now that Pittsburgh won its Win or go home for us tomorrow against the Dolphins? Either 2 seed or no playoffs? 

No. This next game can end in a tie (unlikely). Or the Titans beat the Jags tomorrow.

 

Either of these happen, the Bills will be in even if they lose.

No I think Jax has to beat Ten for it be a playoff game for us. There are scenarios where we get in with a Jax loss and some other stuff happening even if we blow it against Mia.

The way that I see it is this. This is a playoff game, with a distinct advantage. If the Bills can't win a game like this against a hobbled Miami team, then they can't win the playoffs. If they can't win in the playoffs, let's take the higher draft pick. In other words, I would rather lose this week than in the divisional round in two weeks.

Give me a jags loss and bills win. Steelers seem like the easiest path round 1

I get your logic, but I’d prefer Indy or Houston. I know Pittsburgh isn’t great, but Tomlin is a playoff experienced coach. They have defensive players who could give Josh a tough time. I’m typically a “you just need to beat who play” type guy. That being said, if we can’t beat those teams in the first round, we aren’t getting far anyways. I’m just ready to bring on the playoffs.

Every week in the NFL is 100% different and the ball can bounce in any weird way. To think the Bills can’t win in the playoffs after losing in a week 18 game and it’s better to get a draft pick that is a few spots higher instead of having a shot this year is a absolutely absurd.

That would leave the divisional round as ...

If Miami beat KC we would play the winner of Browns/Houston

If KC beat Miami we would play KC

If Jags win its win or go home. If Jags lose we are safe

I don't think they are THAT hobbled. Looks like Waddle and Hill will be in. Now, they obviously lost some star defensive players, but I feel like their offense is going to light up our defense even if they are hobbled. I just don't feel good about tomorrow's game. This whole season has had such a dark cloud over it imho, even with the wins. IDK, I hope I am wrong of course. I feel like nothing going our way is just adding to my negativity. If we lose tomorrow, it's going to be the longest off season ever! I am sure Diggs and his brother will act up. Obviously I want a SB win before I die, but there is something mortifying about not even making the playoffs potentially.

Just realised that, ironically, from a 'security' point of view, the Bills would have been better off if the Dolphins had won last week. The Ravens would have had to win tonight to secure one seed and, if they had, the Dolphins would have probably played their back ups tomorrow. And, unless the Jags somehow lose, it wouldn't have changed the risk behind tomorrow's game that much at all.

 

So let's take advantage of what the Ravens win last week did, and claim the two seed.

Even if Hills and Waddle play, they are nowhere near 100%. Waddle is two weeks removed from a high ankle sprain and Hill is in a boot.

The chance at the 2 seed which they themselves control … even  if that means being out of the playoffs with a loss tomorrow … trumps sneaking in the back door with the 6th seed …

 

They really need to be focused on making the most of this opportunity, which looked lost a month ago … need to get it done as it’s a down  year generally for their competitors

Yeah, but we know how it goes with our defense. Sometimes offenses that have no business putting up points magically do against us. Bailey Zappe had some moments last week and so did Easton Stick. Don't get me wrong, our D has been playing a lot better lately, but I still come to expect them to disappoint.

After 12 men & the Eagles making a 60-yarder against us - I think we all would have taken having a chance to beat the Dolphins for the 2 seed.

 

It's nice to have the "back in" option - but maybe it's better not to have that.
