SF Bills Fan Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I thought a Bengals win last Monday would have knocked us out either way, right?
YoloinOhio Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Correct. Because Baltimore won today they would have still been in, even if we won last week. If Cincy had lost to Denver we would have gotten in Edited December 28, 2014 by YoloinOhio
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I am pretty sure, no. I think we needed the Ravens to lose today (which they almost did).
SF Bills Fan Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 I feel slightly better. In the grand scheme I'm pissed. We had many chances and should have got in.
K D Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Doesn't change the fact that with the playoffs on the line we lost to the worst team in the league. Clearly we didn't deserve to be in the playoffs
YoloinOhio Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) I feel slightly better. In the grand scheme I'm pissed. We had many chances and should have got in. yep a play here or there vs KC or Houston especially. So close. With nothing at QB, I think it's impressive to be at 9-7.

Big Turk Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 We would have been in the same spot Houston was in today needing a SD and BAL loss to get in... SD happened, Baltimore almost did...feel slightly better it wouldn't have mattered but the Dolphin loss puts us in 2nd place in our division so we play the 2nd place teams from the 2 other AFC divisions we don't play next year...

SF Bills Fan Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 KC for me was the the big one. We were at home after a bye- we were set up to win. We don't fumble at the one and we win that game. They could do nothing against us all day long. Their only TD came when we fumbled that punt and handed them good field position. Houston second killer. Not WattW INT and we win. Man we were so close this year.

The Big Cat Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 As Bills fans, we should know better than to have to rely on the Browns winning.
Nick the Greek Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 As Bills fans, we should know better than to have to rely on the Browns winning. Coupled by the fact that they are coached by a Buffalo castoff (Pettine). Yea, that's definitely too much to ask for.
1B4IDie Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 If the Bills beat Oakland, In week 17 we needed: 1.) Bills to beat Pats for first time in Gillette stadium - check 2.) Chiefs to beat SD Chargers - check 3.) Browns to beat Ravens - NO Check. The Bills would have been out of the playoffs at 10-6 if the Bills beat Oakland and everything else stayed the same.
