The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 I truly think we're going 2-1, and 3-0 isn't even a stretch for the rest of the season. So I'm not being a pessimist. But calling on the numbers guys to figure out what needs to happen, if, worst case scenario, we go 0-3 for the season, how do we still slip into the playoffs?
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Worst Case Scenario Buffalo losing out .. what else is there to say ???? 1 win and they are in. the rest is noise IMO 2

The Wiz Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Mostly comes down to how Titans and Browns finish. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/upshot/nfl-playoff-picture.html 1

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 We still have a 57% chance to make it if we lose out and finish 9-7. 1 1
Jobot Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 I no longer have any fear for missing the playoffs with Derrick Henry's new hamstring injury.

I still don't like being that close to 50%. Obviously that means that we'll need help from other teams. I wanna make it this year without having to rely on other team's failures.

Dablitzkrieg Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Tennessee would need to also get to 7 losses if this scenario were to take place. Buffalo owns the tie breaker. Edited December 11, 2019 by Dablitzkrieg
Jamie Nails Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Going to play along here. If we lose all three, we need the titans to drop two games. The browns, raiders and colts need to lose one. Might even be less if we have the tie breaker over the raiders or colts. Browns have to drop one because they have the head to head. Colts should lose in New Orleans on Monday.

Raiders will likely drop one to the jags, broncos or bolts. Browns will likely lose to the Ravens next week. Colts will likely lose to the Saints this week. Titans could very easily split with the Texans and lose to the Saints in between. I just don't want it to come down to this. 2
Big Turk Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Here we go yo...here we go yo....so what's the what's the what's the scenario??
jletha Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) If the Bills go 0-3 we would need the Browns (they play the Ravens still) , Raiders and Colts to lose once and the Titans to lose twice. Im sure there more but that should do it Edited December 11, 2019 by jletha

If we lose the next three games, we aren't winning a playoff game. It could happen, but it's very unlikely as it will mean that we're more pretender than contender.
machine gun kelly Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 We’re not going 0-3. Billieve guys. We gave the Ravens, all they could handle from our defense, and the next three opponents, do not have the talent the Ravens have on defense. We’re going 2-1, or 3-0. The only way we win the division as was talking to Papa on NFLR which as much as Weiss drives me crazy at times, are both in our corner is to win throughout, and the Pats have to lose to us and either Miami or Cincy. Highly unlikely so we’ll probably face the Texans or Titans in the wildcard. I’m confident we have a very good chance, and neither is like a Pittsburgh, KC, or Green Bay fan base, so I fully expect 20,000 Bills fans there and they get to get out of the cold. I unfortunately can’t make it this year as I was in Jax two years ago, and we can create some noise in those stadiums. After the wildcard, all bets are off and we’ll see. At the end of the day an 11-5 or 12-4 record and a playoff win is a great move forward. I just heard the proposed salary cap increase and would mean about $100 mil in cap space. More than enough to extend, Dawson, Spain, Milano, White, and Lawson and cut Murphy. We can continue to draft well, and probably pick up one marquee free agent and still be ok. 2 1
