dma0034 Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Meaning even if they finish with the same record the Bills will own the tiebreaker. So if the Bills win 10 games they will likely clinch a playoff spot (as long as the Steelers don't win every game that isn't the Browns or the Browns lose one game) Edited November 24, 2019 by dma0034 11 2 5

Expand Yeah, I get the premise, and it’s not a bad thing to point out. Just seems early to be playing the tie-breaker game already.

We're usually talking about who we should draft five months out at this point in the season so I consider this thread an upgrade. 8 17 2
dma0034 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Posted November 20, 2019 I mean it's rare to have one so early in the season is all. Just makes this game that much more important. As far as "too-early' we have all looked at the schedule and know whats ahead for the Bills... like to think of the tie breakers in case 2
benderbender Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Too early? Have you seen the schedule and the honey nut cluster of teams competing for a wild card? Maybe a week early at the most and that’s only if you’re an optimist. But considering that the only 2 games we’re expected to win are the Broncos next week and the Jets in week 17, we’re going to be talking tie breakers for the rest of the season. 4 1

Hsker4life Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 We are fans on a message board, it’s not too early. And even if you thought it was too early, it’s easy to avoid a thread that’s obviously about playoff tiebreakers. Thanks for the info, OP. 7

So a win against the Broncos (or Steelers later) will give them the tiebreaker versus the Colts Expand Good analysis OP. By extension, we should hope that they don't win their division but do enough to knock off the other two teams who don't either, especially Jacksonville as we have the head to head over Tennessee.

Expand Too many possibilities yet with 6 games to play, and the problem with head to head tiebreakers is that they don’t mean much when multiple teams are tied.. witness the Bills getting in over Chargers in 2017..
njbuff Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Ummmmmmm go 13-3 and you don’t have to worry about any of this. ? 1 3

Dr.Sack Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Beating Denver and getting to 8-3 is huge. Do we get to 8 wins Sunday? 3
eball Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Those wins against the Giants and Skins are going to come back to haunt us. 1 10

GunnerBill Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 How does it work with the Dolphins? We played them twice and the Colts only once - so in the common games record do we get credit for both wins? Having the tiebreaker over the Colts is important in my opinion. I still think the Texans ultimately win the South and the two spots come down to the Bills, Raiders and Colts. 1
