The Bills of course have to take care of business. If they do, they need just 1 of 13 results to go in their favor in order to control their own destiny. Rooting Interests Week 16 ✓ Steelers over Bengals Texans over Browns Falcons over Colts Bucs over Jags Cowboys over Fins Any one of these results occur this week, and if the Bills beat the Chargers, they control their own destiny. Week 17 Raiders over Colts Jets over Browns Ravens over Fins Chiefs over Bengals Panthers over Jags If all 5 games go against the Bills in week 16, then any 1 of these 5 results would allow the Bills to control their own destiny if they beat the Pats. Week 18 Browns over Bengals Texans over Colts Titans over Jags If it comes down to week 18 and all 10 games have gone against the Bills, then just one of these games need to go the Bills way to make the playoffs, coupled with a win over the Fins. Kudos to @ImpactCorey for finding the one path to missing the playoffs at 11-7, which reveals the 13 possible paths for the Bills to control their own destiny.

There are 13 games over the next three weeks where if just one of them goes our way then we are 100% in if we win out. Steelers over Bengals is one of the five scenarios just this week that would make that possible.

Ok, looks like you are right sir. I am wrong. Go Bills! They can fact win out and have each game of the 17 games needed to go wrong go wrong and miss the playoffs. Very very cool stuff indeed.

It says the original seeding remains when three of the teams are from the same division.

There is a 0.0% chance that Cleveland and Cincinnati both win a Wild card with 11-6 records because Step 1 of Wild Card Tie Breakers is eliminating teams from the same Division who are tied with the same record. Read the rules: https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures

Except he's totally wrong. The first tie breaker step to determine Wild Card teams is the Divisional tie breaker in order to eliminate teams with the same record within each division. So there's a 0.0% chance that two teams with 11-6 records from the AFC South or North get into the playoffs ahead of an 11-6 Bills. In reality, in order for the Bengals to win out they have to beat the Browns, which then ties the Browns and Bengals. One of them is eliminated by Step 1. In the South, the same rule applies. One team will win the division, and it's actually not possible for there to be a second Wild Card candidate at 11-6 bc the Colts and Texans play each other. But even if it were mathematically possible, which it's not, one of them would be eliminated by the Divisional Wild Card Tie Breaker. This is why the Bills have the best percentage amongst all the current will card teams. Because they are the only team that doesn't risk being eliminated by the Wild Card Divisional tie breaker in step 1. https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures

Trolls like nuggets I guess.

Looks like he went to the Von Miller School of Medicine.

The Dallas snap count shows they played mostly with 4 down lineman, 1 linebacker and either 4 safeties and two CB's or 3 safeties and 3 CB's. It was essentially a dime defense all night long. I think primarily bc their only have one starting LB currently.

He literally didn't have any LBers to play. Unless he moved Parsons to MLB. Which in retrospect is probably what they should have done.

I went back and looked at the Cowboys defensive alignment last night. They pretty much played Dime all day long. Even against 21 and 12. Their 4-3 was comprised of 1 LB and 2 safeties. And they often played a DE at 3 tech. Kudos to Brady to continuing to pound the rock against a tiny defense they simple couldn't adjust do to not having the personnel.

On the late NFL Network show, MJD said he just doesn't see a way the Bills can make the playoffs even if they win out because of the conference loses.

Or need a 6 part article attacking his male pattern baldness.

Something about the invasion of Poland and rolling straight through France? I kid, I kid.

Zappe throws a much zippier ball than Mac Jones.

Totally agree. 150k is a lot of money, don't care what anyone says.

Oh man, at $16.99 for a 40 piece, that's 235,432 nuggys he's missing out on.

Can't ever hear about people betting on the Bills to win the Super Bowl w/o thinking of this (NSFW language)

A swing OT would be great too.

Kincaid was a good pick, for sure. And I wouldn't be mad if Beane does a Rousseau / Basham at wr this draft in the 1st & 2nd round.

Addison would have been great in this Bills offense... Taking nothing away from Kincaid...

Never want to see anyone get injured. But the Vikes just ran the ball down their throat. Still, it was just the opening drive. Will be interesting to see if their O with Mullens can continue to have success mixing the run and pass.

Looked like his leg collapsed in half. Would be a massive loss for the Bengals D.

All 9 of them?
