Hated the TEN loss as it made the Bills path to the playoffs and breaking the drought a lot less likely in 2017 Why would you hate that TEN lost? Doesn't that help us out a lot?

Simply put, the Bills best chance at the playoffs was finishing tied with LAC, TEN at 9-7. TEN has a tough remaining two games vs Rams and Jags , so their loss to SF today makes it less likely TEN ends up 9-7. Bills now need to win both games or hope teams lose games they will probably win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little chance they lose either of the last 2 games (Colts, Bungles). Its going to come down to Bills, Titans and Chargers for the final spot. Basically just need to root hard against both teams. Titans are down to niners now and have a very tough remaining schedule. Chargers are one game back but have the head to head over us. Really need the Jets to beat them next week or they will have the advantage over us. don't worry...Chargers gonna Charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Andrew Siciliano explained it on the Red Zone channel today. The common opponent situation does not apply to the Ravens-Bills because that tie-breaker requires a minimum of 4 common opponents, which the two do not yet share. So at the moment it goes to the next tie-breaker, which the Bills have the advantage. So for now, the Bills have the 6 seed over Baltimore. However... that common opponent tie breaker will kick in with these final two games. So if both the Bills and Ravens win out, the Ravens would leap-frog them with a better record against common opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was always expected Ravens have the tie breaker on us so you have to win more rhen them If the Ravens lose either of their next 2 games and the Bills beat the 'Phins week 17, we would have the same common opponent record and it would then go to Strength of Victory. Can't say for sure, but I think Buffalo would have SOV tiebreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I just want us to skip to the last week of the season. I have 0 confidence in beating NE, and I'm an optimist when it comes to most things. I hope it comes down to whether we beat the Dolphins or not & that's it. If it depends on the NE game, I'm going to be very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to NE then for it to come down to simply beating the Dolphins in Week 17 to get in then you are rooting for the following in Week 16: Ravens loss to the Colts AND Chargers loss to the Jets Then I believe we just have to beat the Fish to get in. Otherwise, it gets a bit more complicated, and we will need help in Week 17. Edited December 18, 2017 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers losing to the Jets I can definitely see. The Jets play harder than their record shows. They nearly beat the Saints today but had some bad luck down the stretch. Either way they'll play hard. I believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Is there any chance Belichick rests a few guys this week, after having been gifted the Steelers game? They’ve clinched a first round bye, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the possibility of the Bengals helping us out week 17 by playing hard for the departing Marvin Lewis's final home game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
