TheFunPolice Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Crazy things happen every week in the NFL Last week that dysfunctional Eagles team went into NE* and beat the Patriots*. So we'll get some help that we don't expect now. Bills just need to get to 10-6
Saxum Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) If you take playoff machine and start with defense rank as starting criteria Dalass is winner of NFC(l)East. If you change results of last game vs Jest after that to a Buffalo win since Buffalo has beaten them before on the road, Bills take 6th seed. Edited December 9, 2015 by Koolaid
Prickly Pete Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Do the Chiefs really look like a team that can win 10 in a row? Not to me, and they have 2 division games left, and just like in the AFC East, division rivalry games can be tough.

Maybe it is just sour grapes on my part.
TheFunPolice Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I would not count out the Browns beating Checkdown Alice and the Chiefs Manziel could come in and make some huge plays for them knowing that his career is on the line. Pettine might have one of his good coaching games (I still think he's a decent coach in a horrible situation). That Browns offense can put up #'s when it's clicking. I don't see Houston vs NE* as important to us. We beat them already so we have the head to head, and between them and Indy there will not be a wild card team. I would LOVE to see the continual beating down of Tom Brady behind that patchwork OL continue. People outside of NE* are not talking a lot about the absolute pounding Brady is taking, but up here (I sadly live in NE* country) it's a huge topic. Even the Eagles D was smacking him around and pressuring him constantly. I want more of that, courtest of Watt, Wilfork and Clowney.
Luxy312 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Personally, any scenario where the Bills do not win out and they're done. There could be a few teams sitting at 9-7 that would have the tiebreaker over the Bills.

Play with the playoff machine, or look back on other pages for specific scenarios that aren't too unbelievable.
metzelaars_lives Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) What some people fail to realize is that the Texans and the Raiders and really the Jets for that matter, don't really matter that much at this point. If we are in a position where we have the same record as the Texans, we're not making the playoffs anyway. Same goes for the Raiders. Even if we go 3-1, either of those teams would have to go 4-0 to pass us. Not happening. The Bills need to win out and get one loss from the Steelers or lose one NFC East game and get two losses from the Steelers plus one more from the Jets. And to the person who said, "can you really picture the Chiefs winning out..." Yes, I can. They are really good. I think they'll lose one but it would take them losing two AND us winning out for us to pass them. Not happening either. It's all about beating the Eagles and rooting for Cincinnati to get that one Steelers loss out of the way. It's actually simpler than it sounds. Yes, Jets loss would be nice but we'll get our shot at them regardless. Edited December 9, 2015 by metzelaars_lives
hondo in seattle Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Sundays in the NFL are unpredictable. There are upsets every week. Key players get injured. Refs make questionable calls that decide games. Etc. There's just no way to guess how this will all play out. So I just hope the Bills win this week. And then see what happens.

If the Steelers can lose to the Bengals, Bills win 2 of next 3 and Jets lose 1 of next three, it's almost impossible for the Bills to be mathematically eliminated headed into Week 17.

We would need help in a steelers loss to the browns though
GunnerBill Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 We would need help in a steelers loss to the browns though No we wouldn't.... Denver would do.
What a Tuel Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 No we wouldn't.... Denver would do. I assumed he meant Steelers lose to the Bengals and that's it until Week 17. Yeah a loss to the Bengals and Broncos would be awesome.

strive_for_five_guy Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 We would need help in a steelers loss to the browns though For sure, hopefully we can get to Week 17 and control our own destiny.

All of these teams in one way or another can surpass Buffalo in the rankings and all of these teams can help Buffalo reach the #5 seed. Rooting for the Ravens, Raiders and SD to defeat KC will help the Bills immensely getting the 6th seed, maybe even the 5th seed. Edited December 10, 2015 by NOVABillsFan

It would be awesome if San Diego beat KC, or the Browns beat the Steelers, but we are looking at worst case scenarios. If the Steelers win the next 4 in a row we are done. Same with the Jets. However, the Jets do not matter as much because we have some control against them Week 17. However Pittsburgh is the biggest threat because they can eliminate us beyond our control. The Steelers winning 3 out of 4 of the next conference games will give them a tie on conference record against us. The next tiebreaker is common games played and a win for them against the Bengals gives them the common games played tiebreaker on us, We would need the Steelers to lose 2 of their next 3 then, and they are playing a Schaub led Ravens, and a mess of a Browns team aside from the Broncos. We will always be cheering for the other teams to lose but the Steelers are by far the biggest threat right now. This Bengals game is huge for us. Go Bengals!

Talk about falling over the edge
