boyst Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Again, just like every year we hurt ourselves in the playoff chances by beating and out of division opponent. The difference between us and the Patriots is that they win the games against their division, not these meaningless games like today. It's embarrassing. Edited September 23, 2018 by Boyst62 12
Coach Tuesday Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Correct, but Alabama's chances of beating the Vikings improved exponentially. 1 7
dubs Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Haha. I posted the same thing in another thread and asked who it was. 4merperformer was the culprit.
GunnerBill Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Just now, Coach Tuesday said: Correct, but Alabama's chances of beating the Vikings improved exponentially. Eastern Michigan would have given the Vikings a game tonight. 1

KD in CA Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Not only that, but we can kiss Bosa goodbye!
Gray Beard Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 If the Bills win next week at Green Bay then the first pick in the draft is a sure bet
Dadonkadonk Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Yes, they would have been far better off to be 1-2 with a win over either Balt or LA. But they stil have the Texans, Tenn, and all their division games. A win over GB doesn't seem so out of the realm of possibility right now. That would put them a 2-2. 90% of this board thought 2-2 was impossible before the season. 1

The difference between us and the Patriots is that we win the games against our division, not these meeting this games like today. It's embarrassing. It depends. Beating a bad out-of-conference team is worse, because it proportionally weakens you in the strength-of-schedule tie-breaker in playoff determinations (since you've made your opponents' overall record worse.) Beating a good out-of-conference team has an impact on your strength of schedule, of course, but it's a proportionally lesser impact. So really, the degree to which the Bills damaged their playoff hopes today depends ultimately on how good the Vikings' record is. If they end 9 and 7, then the Bills' win is only a 10% reduction in the Vikings' contribution to strength-of-schedule (because if the Bills lost, the Vikes would be 10-6, so that one game is 10% of their total.) But if the Vikings end up 4-12, then it's a 20% reduction, which is a significant impact to the Bills' playoff tie-breaking chances.

We need to win in our conference and division. It's why we almost missed them last year, losing to Miami would have hurt.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 If we win next week it's gonna set this franchise back a decade, maybe more. Wins are overrated. 1

Sounds like your emotions are hurt. as far as the war of Northern aggression, I have no common with those Yankee Invaders did to this great land here in the south It was a crime what they did But you can only say that cuz you can't dispute my argument 3 minutes ago, DC Tom said: It depends.
