Bills win out and Pats lose to Texans/Chiefs and we have the division. Pats currently getting outplayed by the Texans and losing the Chiefs is entirely possible. If the Bills can beat Baltimore winning the final 3 is very feasible. If Bills win out, I believe they would be the #1 seed. 1
Don Otreply Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Nice hypothetical, but i’d Rather win out, and have other playoff teams use all sorts of mental and physical energy planing on how not to lose to us, but that’s just me maybe, Go Bills!!!
Marv's Neighbor Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Can't believe this! Losing game(s) is NEVER any type of rational strategy.

To wrap up the WC spot we need to win. there may be some weird circumstance that patriots clinch division and buffalo clinches top WC before that game. they would need to be 3 back of be going into that game. Right now buffalo is 1.5 back of ne pending tonight’s game. they would need to beat pittsburgh new Englald woukd have to win tonight and the next 2 werks for ne to be NE 13-1 BUF 10-4 pittsburg woukd have to lose next week so thry would have 7 lises oakland woukd have to lose 1 indy have to lose one tenn would have to lose 1 then only tenn coukd be 10-6 but not win the division and no other 10-6 teams. Buffalo would get 5 due to their win at Tennessee. if buffalo is tied with Houston st 10-6 Houston would have better conference record and get 5 seed. 6 minutes ago, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: If Bills win out, I believe they would be the #1 seed.

So, while we are capable of beating Baltimore next week, do we want to?? Hear me out..... No thanks.
MDH Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 If the Bills don’t win the division it’s best if the Pats get the 1 seed. After the Bills win their WC game they will likely play the 1 seed. I’d rather knock off the Pats in NE than travel to Baltimore.

Option 1 - Win out and take the #1 seed Option 2 - if 5 seed is inevitable, whatever needs to happen for Pats to get ***** You are the Ernie Adams of this place. Option 2 is below you. Option 1 is always the best.
QB Bills Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 OP, you're right. Don't mind the people who don't understand your premise. Assuming we are making the playoffs as the 5 seed and aren't winning the division (which was more of a certainty before this Sunday nighter started) losing to the Ravens would be better for the reasons you mentioned. Obviously you don't go into the game trying to lose. But sometimes it's better in the long run.

Wait, if they lose to Hou tonight and to us, wouldn’t we win the tie breaker regardless of Chief’s game? 14 minutes ago, djp14150 said: They win win out and NE has to do one of these 1 Lose to hou and kc 2 lose to cincinnsti 3 lose to Miami Wait, if they lose to Hou tonight and to us, wouldn’t we win the tie breaker regardless of Chief’s game?
QB Bills Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Just now, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: Wait, if they lose to Hou tonight and to us, wouldn’t we win the tie breaker regardless of Chief’s game? I don't believe so. They will still have a better common opponents record.

klos63 Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 We should try/want to win all the games we play in. That's kinda the point of competitive sports.

Somebody who probably has had too many beers today, saw too many missed offensive holding calls, and actually is happy when he flips to the Beatles channel on Sirius radio and a Ringo Starr song is playing. ?
