Ah, OK. Guess I just don't see the Ravens losing to Houston.

I was referring more about the Chargers finishing ahead of the Ravens.

If the Ravens are the 5, they're playing the 4 in round 1, which will very likely be the Texans. Lowest remaining seed goes to the 1 seed in round 2

Is there a way that seeding can happen, though? I don't think the Chargers win any tiebreakers over the Ravens or Steelers.

I get that logic too, but if the Steelers lose to the 6 seed in Rd. 1, that team would go to KC, bringing the Ravens to Buffalo in your scenario.

I guess I'm in the minority, thinking a Ravens win here would be better. If Baltimore beats Pittsburgh and the Bills win tomorrow, the Bills would be two games up on the Steelers and Ravens for the 2 seed, with 2 games to play. Pittsburgh losing would also mean they have not clinched the division and would have to treat KC on Christmas as a must-win. If PIT wins, the 1 seed would still be in play in week 18, assuming the Bills handle their business. If KC wins and the Bills beat the Jets, they've clinched the #2 seed and could rest starters week 18. I just don't see Baltimore losing to Houston or Cleveland. They also hold all tiebreakers over the Broncos and Chargers. TL/DR: Ravens over Steelers Bills over Pats Steelers over Chiefs & Bills over Jets puts the #1 seed in play week 18 Chiefs over Steelers & Bills over Jets clinches the #2 seed and the Bills can rest starters week 18. Am I missing something?

I don't disagree, but OP was originally saying that the Bills would have "nothing to play for" the last two weeks, meaning that they could lose both and it wouldn't matter. I was just pointing out that that was incorrect. They need to finish ahead of Pittsburgh, as I'm pretty sure any tiebreaker scenario is gonna go the Steelers' way.

Nope... Even if all these happen, if the Steelers finish 12-5, with their only loss to KC, they'd win a tiebreaker with the Bills (Best win % in conference games). Need to finish a game ahead of PIT, otherwise, they're probably getting the tiebreaker. If the BIlls and Steelers both finish 12-5, the Steelers get the tiebreaker https://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine/_/results/401671780~1~401671778~2~401671799~2~401671494~1~401671495~2~401671831~1~401671836~1

The Bills could clinch the Division before they play their next game, if the following four outcomes happen: Week 12 - Patriots beat Dolphins Week 13 - Packers Beat Dolphins, Colts beat Patriots, Seahawks beat Jets Dolphins would be at 8 losses, with the Jets and Pats being at 9 losses.

Hate to mention this, but Lucas Oil Stadium has a retractable roof, as well.

Here's the thing, though If the roles are reversed and it's the Bengals on offense, in a 4th and 16, driving for a GW FG, does the flag fly? I'd bet it doesn't. To me, THAT's the difference.

I don't disagree, but he didn't say anything about having an issue with the crown. Some people like that look, so since he didn't say it was an issue for him, I didn't elaborate. I hate the "high hat" look on myself personally, so I posted what my process for breaking a hat in was when I was I bought and dealt with a lot of 59/50s. A lot will still depend on personal preference and materials used to make the hat, though.

I mean, I can't guarantee that it's gonna look the way you want it, but keep in mind, the hat you posted is not an actual 59/50. It may LOOK like a 59/50, but if it's made from different materials than a 59/50, it's gonna act differently. We had a whole "process" for fitting our New Era hats. You didn't mention an issue with the peak/crown, so I didn't elaborate, but here's what we did to get them to fit right and look good (at least in our opinion). 1: Take the plastic out of the inner part of the sweat band 2: Wet the hat completely - Didn't need to drench it but get a decent amount of water on it 3: Put the wet hat on the head and use your thumb and index finger just in front of the ears to pull the sides of the hat down - This would help round out the peak 4: Use your hands to further massage the hat around your head, work the folds out (from when on the shelf) 5: Put the bill in a perfect curve (your choice how much of a curve you wanted and hang from a push pin on the wall (bill facing down) usually overnight It's important to note that the 59/50 hats were wool at that time and at least for us and our tastes, this worked really well. I did this on at least 200 hats and was always happy with the end result. Now, the 59/50s are made primarily of polyester, so I don't know how the different material would react. But again, keep in mind that the hat you showed was NOT a 59/50. I didn't see anything mentioned about the materials of the hat, other than it's a flexfit, which 59/50s also are not. If the crown of the hat is wool and the bill is cardboard, then I don't see why the process I used wouldn't give similar results. But, if they are polyester and plastic, it may not react the same. This is one reason I hate buying hats online - Companies use different materials and sizing charts and I'm VERY picky when it comes to how may hats fit, so an 1/8 of an inch off can be make or break for me.

OK, the bad news is, I dunno where this particular hat can be found. It looks like it's an off brand hat (meaning not a New Era, Zephyr, or other major brand) so it may be tough to track down. Where I may be of some help is, in my experience (I worked in a hat store for some time, learning the ins and outs on how hats are produced, etc) many hats are going to ship as a flat brim, especially fitted hats. I hate the flat look, too, so I used what was called a "perfect curve" to bend the bill into the curve that I wanted. Looked sorta like this: If the bill of the hat is cardboard, it worked REALLY well. I'd get the bill wet, set it in the perfect curve overnight and the cardboard would essentially reform into the shape. Some bills are plastic and they'll work too, you just may need to put it in the curve again every so often. So, if you can find the size you're looking for, I wouldn't worry about the bill, as you should be able to fix that on your own with a device similar to the one I posted above. Of course, using your hands to bend it works, too, just be careful with a cardboard bill, as if you crease it, it could be tough to fix.

Bills won't be playing KC in week 1 or 2 BLT @ KC week 1 CIN @ KC week 2 KC getting two home games to start in a season where they have 9 road games.
