BuffaloDave55 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 A big if!!! If the Bills go 3 -1 what has to happen to make playoffs? We don't have a tie-breaker with the Ravens, do we? They would have to go 1 -3?
Dafan Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Not sure what all else is needed but would need chargers to win their division. We have the head to head against kc and oakland.
SoCal Deek Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 The Ravens are losing to the Steelers this week. They have to lose one more.
Jamie Nails Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 The Chargers are now a wildcard too. We either want them to take the division or lose two. A lot has to happen and the chances are slim now. We should revisit after this weekend if we win.
Manther Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 We need to go 3-1 Chargers need to win their division or not be in the WC talk Ravens need go 1-3 or Jacksonville or Tennessee need to go 1-3 (but, not sure on tie breakers with these teams - I assume they beat us in Conference record due to their division) Anyways, we need to go 3-1 and need a lot of help. Baltimore winning last week hurt. Baltimore winning the last 3 hurt. Go Bills!
Dablitzkrieg Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 It all has to do with the Titans. We need the Titans to get no more than 9 wins. If the Bills and Titans are tied at 9-7, the Bills win the tiebreaker. Ravens own a tiebreaker over the Bills.
Alphadawg7 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I think the Ravens need to lose twice and we need to go 3-1. I believe we have the tie breaker. Ravens should lose to Steelers, but the other 3 games are against pretty weak competition. Ravens aren't good enough to just assume the win all 3 easy looking games, but they should beat them. So I think our playoff shot is pretty low unless we somehow pull a miracle and win out, meaning some impossible win at NE. But lets be real, not only are we not gonna win out, even going 3-1 isn't going to be an easy feat. Personally I think we go 2-2 with a loss to NE and a split with Mia, especially since I think Peterman will be starting at least one of those Mia games. Edited December 7, 2017 by Alphadawg7

Baltimore winning last week hurt. Baltimore winning the last 3 hurt. Go Bills! The tiebreaker with the Ravens is not clear yet. If the Bills win 3, then the Ravens must lose 2 and both are 9-7. Both would have 7-5 conference records, the first relevant tiebreaker. Next is record in games against common opponent-- minimum of 4 common opponents. Here that is met, as both teams will play the Bengals dolphins Raiders and Colts. Buffalo is 1-1 in those games now, while Ravens are 3-0. Assuming the Bills lose to NE, they would end up 4-1 against the common opponents. Ravens still have Colts and Bengals. If one of the losses is to these teams-- other opponents are Pitt and Cleveland-- they end up at 4-1 as well. Then it goes to strength of victories and then strength of schedule, and I have no idea how that works out. Now if there is a three way tie, you do the same exercise but with the three teams. Again, it all depends yet on tiebreakers. But Ravens must lose two if Buffalo goes 3-1 to get to tiebreakers.
DBilz2500 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Actually if bills go 3-1 the ravens need to go 2-2 to reach 9-7 and we would actually have the tiebreaker over them and here's how: 1st tiebreaker AFC record-both teams 7-5 2nd tiebreaker common opponents: assuning we beat Fins twice and colts once we would both be 4-1 in 5 common games(assuming 1 of 2 ravens losses is to either colts or bengals) 3rd tiebreaker strength of victory: right now we lead that tiebreaker by a large margin giving us the wildcard over the ravens.
Steptide Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) What if they go 4-0!! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Edited December 7, 2017 by Steptide
LABILLBACKER Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 This whole confusing playoff scenario we play every year could be avoided if the league would just let us play in the afcw....

Homey D. Clown Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 hasn't Jim Mora's press statement 26 years ago not been ringing through your head for the last 17 years? puhh-lease stop with the playoff talk. This turd is a flusher, not a floater.
hemma Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 What if the Bills go 4-0, the Pats go 0-4 and Darnold insists he'll only play football for the Bills forever and ever? There.
BillsFan130 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 They probably wont go 3 and 1 and even if they do, they probably still won`t get in
