The Guy Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It sure is nice being 4-0 but this is the NFL. Parity is reality and no team is easy to beat. It is almost inevitable that there will be several ties for playoff positions. The Bills are in a really bad position on tie breakers already. They are 2-0 against NFC opponents and will probably beat San Fran when they play them. That puts them at 3-0. This means if they win next week, they will end up losing just about any tie-breaking scenario as the NFC games count less. They might do ok within the division but if they are tied for a wild card they are in big trouble. This sounds weird, but if you want the Bills to make the playoffs, you should root for them to lose next week. I believe reading your post actually caused me to lose brain cells. Thanks buddy. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Was this an assignment in your special ed. class? This has to be one of the all-time stupidest posts. First tie breaker for playoff seeding: number of wins. End of discussion. Seeing as how number of wins isn't a tie breaker (it is, in fact, what causes the tie), I suspect you eat crayonz too. The actual tie breaker is as he described in the first post of the thread, which means the Bills are in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah you are correct, we would be in much better shape with a 1-3 start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well duh. But the 16-0 and 16-0 records proposed were simply hyperthetical. The odds against that are high. He actually meant if both teams were 13-3 or maybe 12-4. In these cases we lose out by beating the Cardinals. Why is Matt Millen posting on a Bills board???

JujuFish Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Since Baltimore is 2-0 right now and the Bills are 4-0 that gives Baltimore the edge. That's right, isn't it crayonz? Baltimore doesn't have the edge because they're 2-0. They have the edge because they can still lose 4 NFC games. Right, crayonz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otisly00 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hopefully this puts this ridiculous post to a rest: The six postseason participants from each conference will be seeded as follows: 1. The division champion with the best record. 2. The division champion with the second-best record. 3. The division champion with the third-best record. 4. The division champion with the fourth-best record. 5. The Wild Card club with the best record. 6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record. The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules. NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs. TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. Two Clubs 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in common games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format). 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs). 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in common games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM OR AMONG DIVISION WINNERS If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken. 1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker. 2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps. Two Clubs 1. Head-to-head, if applicable. 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. 4. Strength of victory. 5. Strength of schedule. 6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best net points in conference games. 9. Best net points in all games. 10. Best net touchdowns in all games. 11. Coin toss. Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.) 1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants. 2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.) 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in conference games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. 12. Coin toss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore we should lose to everybody except the team we tie. Keep up, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
