buffalo2218 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 How ironic would that be that the Bills get in to the playoffs because of a Titans meltdown?
Reddy Freddy Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 21 minutes ago, Patrick_Duffy said: Yes, I was looking at this game yesterday coming up between Ravens and Browns in Cleveland and I predict that the Browns get their 1st and only win of the season. I expect the Steelers to bust em up a little bit and soften them up just right for Browns to get their 1st win at home. So this is weird, but the NYT playoff machine actually has us with a better shot at the playoffs if the Browns beat the Ravens next week. I can’t imagine why this would be true.
JinxedBill1 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Biggest thing is week 17 they play at home against Jacksonville who probably won't be playing for anything after locking up the 3rd seed. Titans could win that one with Jacksonville looking to the playoffs.

MarlinTheMagician Posted December 11, 2017 Author Posted December 11, 2017 Jags could be looking for a bye.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Bills own the tiebreaker vs. Titans at 9-7 even if we lose to the Cheatriots!
boco357 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Jags also beat Pitt so can be playing for bye as well.

Doc Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Apparently Mariota got injured. Anyone know what happened?
AllenToBrown2020 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Per ESPN Playoff Machine, We need: -Bills win 2x against Miami -LA Chargers, Baltimore and Jags to win out (10-6, 10-6, 12-4 respectively) -Chiefs and Titans to finish 9-7 Not that unreasonable.

SF Bills Fan Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Tennessee losing was huge. If we beat Dolphins twice and Tenessee loses two- very likely since they play Niners in SF, Rams and Jax AND Chargers beat KC next week we are in. That's the best path and doable
GunnerBill Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) 6 hours ago, JinxedBill1 said: Bills do. No they don't. The Bills ONLY own the tiebreak against Tennessee if the Chiefs go 9-7 as well and it becomes a 3 way tie. A straight up Buffalo 9-7 and Tennessee 9-7 leaves us on the outside looking in.

One of the Titans losses has to be to the Jaguars though. If they were to lose to the 49ers and Rams but beat the Jaguars then they'd hold the tiebreaker because they'd have more wins against the AFC. 1

If they win any of their next 3 and it is a straight H2H with the Bills they have the tiebreak based on common games. The Bills ONLY have the advantage is if it is a 3 way tie with the Chiefs. We lose a 3 way tie with the Chargers and Titans as well just FYI. Edited December 11, 2017 by GunnerBill
