scuba guy Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Happy days are here again Just think a lot of the younger post as don't know how it feels to see 17 years of yuk football but that is in the rear window know Edited December 22, 2020 by scuba guy 2
BigDingus Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Breaking the drought was the best feeling. This is the most proud feeling. 3 3
Virgil Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I’m just gonna say this now. I don’t want to be the 2 seed this first year it doesn’t get a bye week, and then we lose at home to the Ravens. Say what you want, but they are finding their groove and getting dangerous. I’ve been wondering what that kick in the junk moment to bring all this down would be.... That would be it. I’m officially pulling for the Colts to beat the Steelers and Dolphins to beat the Raiders. Then we can rest our starters in week 17, to host the Dolphins in the playoffs 4
JohnNord Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 The 2nd seed puts the Bills in a very precarious position. They likely need to win out to keep that position. That means defeating Miami in Week 17, allowing Baltimore to sneak in and take the 7th spot. So by grabbing the 2 seed and beating Miami, you can argue the Bills set themselves up with a tougher opponent than they would have playing the #6 seed in the 3rd seed. But if Indy beats Pittsburgh and the Bills beat NE, then the Bills are locked into the #2 seed in week 16. They can rest starters, let Miami grab #7, and play them again the next week at home

I want nothing to do with the Ravens

Baltimore, Cleveland, Tennessee, Indy are all tough opponents. Even Miami’s defense could get a few turnovers to win. So while Baltimore looks tough, so does just about every matchup in the AFC. Also I can’t see Pittsburgh losing 4 in a row..::but we’ll see 1

JohnNord Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Just now, Virgil said: You need the Titans to lose also, who play the Packers. I’m right there with you. I want nothing to do with the Ravens No that isn’t true in most cases. You only need the Titans to lose if the Jets defeat the Browns next week. Cleveland plays Pittsburgh in Week 17, and with a loss to Indy, both will be 11-4. Division winner will finish 12-4. That means with a win at NE, the worst Buffalo could finish is 12-4. The best Tennessee and Cleveland/Pittsburgh will finish is 12-4. Bills win a 3 way tiebreaker over any of those teams. If Bills handle their business in Foxboro Indy beats Pittsburgh Cleveland beats the Jets Bills are locked in at #2 in week 16
BuffaloBillies Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Normally they say, "if the stars align", but tonight the "planets aligned!" All this talk about who this, and ravens that, blah blah... give me 2 home games and then we pull off the stunner in KC! Go Bills! 1

We'll likely need to beat the Titans and Chiefs anyway on the path to the SB and they're both better than the Ravens this year. 2

Rubes Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 One thing is for sure, the AFC playoffs are going to have a lot of really good teams and a lot of really good games. 4

The Ravens are designed to get an early lead and then choke you out like a python. They really do struggle playing from behind though and we're the type of team to put them in a hole. Honestly I think any of the AFC teams can beat any of the other AFC teams. Some results would surprise me but none would shock me. We play our game and we can beat any of them. 1 1

foreboding Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I like our shot against any but having to beat raven and chiefs seems excessive! 😂
Brennan Huff Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Why does everyone think it’s a done deal that the Jets blew the first overall pick? There are 2 games left. I’m betting Jacksonville beats Chicago next weekend 1

If there is a 3-way tie at 12-4, head-to-head tie breakers don't apply. It goes to division and conference, and the Bills own those.
wvbillsfan Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Ravens don’t scare me. Almost had them last year. This year with Diggs and a healthy brown- bring em out!
