What a Tuel Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Ideally, I think we want the Raiders to drop behind KC and/or Denver.... and also Baltimore to win the North. Then, that leaves Pittsburgh and Oakland there for the head-to heads. need to beat the Dolphins of course, the 12/4 Ravens/Dolphins game would be nice for the Ravens to take. They also have the "Marrone Special" New England game the last game of the season Miami keeps lucking out. They should've lost the last 3 but got lucky on run backs etc or last minute come backs. I know, I know, they are still wins, but somethings gotta give.
Big C Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Playoff odds: 30.2 percent http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18102476/there-13-teams-not-currently-nfl-playoff-picture-get-in Interesting to note that we have the highest odds of all the teams listed there. Let's just win some games!
26CornerBlitz Posted November 21, 2016 Author Posted November 21, 2016 @thadbrown7 Door is open a crack for #Bills to make playoffs at 9-7. Lynchpin is 2 #Broncos v #Chiefs gms left. Bills need sweep. Preferably KC winning.

MAJBobby Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Jaguars - Win @Raiders - Loss Steelers - Loss Browns - Win Dolphins - Loss @Jets - Win Season ends 8-8
26CornerBlitz Posted November 21, 2016 Author Posted November 21, 2016 Jaguars - Win @Raiders - Loss Steelers - Loss Browns - Win Dolphins - Loss @Jets - Win Season ends 8-8 These are two winnable games where you have losses. Steelers on the road are nothing special and the Dolphins aren't either.
aristocrat Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 texans ravens sitting in the 3-4 playoff spot...imagine getting a wild card and playing one of those two?
hondo in seattle Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 The Bills are a very average team with an assortment of strengths and weaknesses typical of an average team. So we'll beat the poor teams left on the schedule and lose to the good ones. And this - depending on how you evaluate our opponents - will get us to 8-8 or, maybe, 9-7. Outside looking in once again.
What a Tuel Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Would Also need the Fins to drop 3 or more and given their schedule that's unlikely. the fins are nothing special and their coach just said "I don't know how that comeback happened yesterday" (against the rams). http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000743820/article/adam-gase-i-dont-know-how-comeback-happened As I said above, they are getting incredibly lucky with very poor play.

Who's a good team from the opponents on the remaining schedule? I see Oakland and no others.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Bottom line: Win 5 more and we have a decent shot. Quick question: Did the NFL modify the playoff rules so that wild cards with better records can host a division winner with a worse record? Edited November 21, 2016 by PromoTheRobot

r00tabaga Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 10-6 looks real as of now. 11-5 gets you in, 10-6 not so much.

Quick question: Did the NFL modify the playoff rules so that wild cards with better records can host a division winner with a worse record? We won 4 in a row vs much tougher opponents. @NE, @LA, Cards, and 49ers. With the exception of Oakland you can argue that none of the remaining games are scary. Just win.
MAJBobby Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Good thing the only thing that matters is what happens on the field of play. Yeah I know. Can't wait for a Fin Team that is playing much better than us right now to beat us again right. Or that Steelers team as well Actually no I can wait for another .500 season. Sorry just what I see Those are tougher opponents? I was about to ask the same

bobobonators Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Those are tougher opponents? 49ers harder than browns. New England @ NE harder than anyone. LA @ LA tougher than Miami @ Home in december. Cards and Pitt a wash
