Bills Playoff Picture

I still don't think the Ravens are all that good to win 6 of their last 7 games...and close the season on a three game winning streak.  I feel like they will be tripped up once even though they will be favorites.

 

Jaguars got killed by Tenn earlier in the season at home.  No matter what, they will be trying to redeem themselves in that last game.  No way the Jags mail that in.  

 

As for the Bills, the best i expect is 1-1 in the final two.  So i guess we'll need some help.

So,

Beat New England

Indianapolis over Baltimore

Jets over Chargers

Tennessee over Rams

Jacksonville over SF

Moves us up to 98%

Outside of the loss to the Jets, which is the real self imposed killer in the playoff hunt, this very average Ravens team having such a ridiculously weak schedule over their last 5 games is driving me crazy.

And we all remember how that last time turned out.

Quite the parlay there...

 

But if we beat NE, and indy beats Bal... It's a cool 80%

 

Both of those things are unlikely though.

I know, but in all the misery that has happened over the last 17 years, that loss always stands out to me as the worst.  It really embodies the mess that this franchise has been.  Until they can find a way to get in, it will haunt me.

After everything goes against us this weekend, we’ll be down to 20% going into week 17

Love these weekly BBFS pronouncements.

simple as this to get in:

Titans lose to Jax in week 17

Chargers need to lose either 1 of the final 2 (Jets, Raiders)

 

This is assuming we lose to Pats but beat Dolphins of course. This is the most realistic scenario. Anyone that thinks we are beating the Pats at their place keep dreaming.

It's as simple as winning the next two games. This team needs momentum going into the playoffs. 

 

Finish them!!

I know we can't be eliminated from the playoffs this week, no matter what happens. Is it possible to lock up a spot if we win and everything goes our way?

If the Bills win and Baltimore loses, I think it's almost a lock.

[Jamie Nails]

That would be 98% if it happens- a Christmas miracle 

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

IF Miami somehow upsets the Chiefs in Kansas City, and we assume the Titans lose to the Rams, they actually will have a pretty favorable situation going into week 17 to make the wild card at 8-8 in a four way tie with us the Chargers and the Titans. That's pretty crazy. Miami absolutely needs to lose to KC if both the Titans and Bills lose next Sunday as expected. 

 

Of course, I'm not sure what realistic scenarios get us in at 8-8, so it's sort of irrelevant as we will have to beat Miami week 17 if we don't beat New England this week. I'm just thinking if it goes down that way, Miami's odds of the wild card at that point will be better than ours since they will likely be favored down in Miami.

In what scenario will Jacksonville be playing for something in week 17?  

 

Because if it's nothing I'm pretty sure Marrone ain't doing us any solids.  Just a hunch.

 

I doubt if Marrone gives more than a passing thought to the Bills. Just because many here hate him,  I never got the impression he was pissed at the Bills.

There are 4 ways we get in.

 

1. Win out and finish 10-6 and we are in

 

 

 

 

While I think the Bills will get in, if they win out, it is NOT guaranteed. Hasn't that been established enough?
