Do we suck again?

Nope.  The defense was aggressive and went after the QB and not just sit back.   That is what they should have done against Mayfield

The sad thing is IF the Ravens lose ...  They still own the AFCN and the Bills can't overtake them in the seeding. 

seems the tie breakers changes a bit since my last post

I think 9-7 makes it. But I think we’re on the outside looking in due to tie breakers if we can’t get to 10. We should be worried about the Browns. I don’t see the finishing worse than 7-9

Between games vs Pittsburgh, Arizona and BALTIMORE, the Browns could lose 2 of those  

Only see them losing to the ravens. But keep in mind, they dominated the ravens earlier this year. They also be Steelers who have a terrible QBs situation. Arizona has also found ways to lose all year. I think the browns beat the Steelers next week and hopefully we can get to 10 to fill out the last 2 slots

Steelers ... Not a great team. They struggled against the Bengals. and IMO  Late season performances are different than early season performances. 

NYJETS ... Not a great team. The Sam HYPE is overrated IMO.  

 

Dallas...  Has weaknesses

NE*** ...  Has weaknesses. Tom is not much better than Josh for the season.  15 TD to 15 TD passing. 

Ravens ....  I want the Bills to crush them badly.

Kevin Seifert ESPN Staff Writer

 

We've reached clinching season in the NFL. If all goes well in the coming days for the Saints, they'll have secured the NFC South by this time next week and become the first division winner of the 2019 season. That's one of several upshots from an eventful Sunday in Week 12, including a pair of teams reaching 10 wins atop their respective conferences.

Let's take a closer look at the playoff picture as it stands now through Sunday night of Week 12, using ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) to inform our analysis.

5. Buffalo Bills (8-3)

The good news is that the Bills have some separation from the rest of the AFC wild-card field. They're likely going to need it as they embark on the most difficult stretch of their schedule. Only one of their eight wins has come against a team that currently has a winning record -- Week 5 against the Titans -- but four of their final five games will be against teams that are above .500 as of Sunday. That list includes three division leaders. Still, FPI is giving them an 82.3% chance to clinch a spot in the postseason, largely because they might need only one or two more wins the rest of the way.

Just seen on NFLN where the Colts just put Eric Ebron IR.

 

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28160464/colts-put-eric-ebron-ir-ankle-injury

 

Ebron made the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Colts in 2018, catching 66 passes for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. But his production dipped this season: He has only 31 receptions for 375 yards and three touchdowns.

 

Ebron, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, has 283 receptions for 3,195 yards and 27 touchdowns in a six-year career.

that could make it tougher for Indy

Steelers are struggling on offense with Rudolph being benched for their 3rd string QB Hodges...

 

Their defense is playing very well and is #4 right behind the Bills who are #3 in yards allowed per drive...however they are very good at turnovers(especially generating fumbles) per drive ranking #2 in the NFL.  If the Bills play turnover free football they should beat the Steelers and beat them comfortably.

I was actually thinking about it today and do we want Baltimore? If we beat them it will help our strength of victory and record. We can’t possibly catch them unless we think Cleveland passes them for the division title. I’m not sure that this game matters to us. Am I missing something?

not really, other than claiming the 2nd best record in the AFC.

After beating the Broncos today, the Bills now have an 82% chance to reach the playoffs per FPI (through 1 p.m. games).

 

Don't know why people pay attention to these things. That great/lucky Russell Wilson pass in the corner of the end zone a few weeks ago had a 3% chance to be caught. How so?

My brother has a bunch of money riding on it so I’ll cheer for the Rams. I actually think it benefits the Bills though if Baltimore wins. It doesn’t help them a lot either way.

I see nothing wrong with the 82% chance to make the playoffs.  
 

it ties into the NYT link.

He wins some handicapping pool and something else if they cover. I think it’s about $1500 to him or something like that.

We want Baltimore to lose in case Pittsburgh passes them.  It increases our odds by 1% according to NYT playoff machine.  Not significant at all.


I would prefer them putting more pressure on NE
