yea I'm pretty sure the glow wears off.... probably pretty quickly too.

just wait until our run is over. I bet it coincides with that. That way there will have been a bye for the 2 before and after us being good enough to get it.

I found a scenarios where the Bills win against the niners and miss the playoffs. They all require the dolphins winning the division, and I think it relies on the colts winning out, and the broncos winning out except for against the colts.

I'm not talking about winning the division. I'm talking about making the playoffs.

I tried to do this too and couldn't do it... I must not have tried long enough.

I think they do though. Yeah just checked it. If the Bills lose out and Jets win out, Jets win the division. If the Bills lose out, Dolphins can get the by winning all but one game assuming they beat the Bills.

But again, this is for a playoff spot not the division. They're saying the magic number for the playoffs is 1.

Is this directed at the NY Times in general or their playoff machine? Has their playoff machine proven wrong before? I'm asking honestly because I'm not sure if it isn't flawed. I played around with the ESPN playoff machine just now and I couldn't get the Bills out of the playoffs if I put a win in for next week. I can't get all of the contending teams in and the Bills out.

This is why it stood out to me. I looked at all the records of the other teams and questioned it because there are a bunch of teams still alive to get above 10 wins. But it must be a combination of tie breaker stuff and that some of those teams have to play themselves. I believe the NY times playoff machine. This argument is directed at the Bills path to clinching the division. I'm not talking about winning the division. I'm talking about clinching a playoff spot.

No, this is saying regardless of everything else, if they win they clinch the playoffs. The Dolphins getting to 7 losses would mean a win next week would win the division.

The NY Times playoff tool says the Bills clinch the playoffs with a win against SF next week... I haven't seen/heard this discussed elsewhere. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/upshot/nfl-playoff-picture.html

and I’ll take 4:25 instead of 8pm every time. The worst part of the Bills becoming good again was the prime time games.

Home dogs in prime time. Good bet.

I agree. To me it looked more like the players clapping at the fans at the end of a soccer game than a golf clap.

Why weren’t there more? There are considerably more eyes in 2024 than there were in 2007. Is it just fewer people watching TV now? Is it that the matchup in 2007 was between two undefeated teams?
