I hope this doesn't come into play, but if we lose to the Pats it's not enough to say, "Well, the Ravens are on the ropes".

 

The Chiefs, Pats, Colts, Chargers and Titans are virtual locks to get into the postseason. One of the Ravens, Browns, or Bengals will win the AFC North. Of the remaining two, the Bills will most likely need both to get to 8 losses if we finish 10-7 and want to get in as a WC. 

 

Our odds are basically a flip of a coin if we don't win out

 

 

 

I will let you lament with your vision of the playoff picture.

I would however recommend that you read the tie-breaker rules for multiple teams tied for a wildcard spot.

SNF had us at a 70+% to make the playoffs.

I know the rules for the tiebreaker buddy. Care for me to explain them to you?

Ravens play the Bengals next week.  Then they have the Rams and Steelers.

They have a tough road to make the playoffs.

I mean, let's just beat the Pats.

 

If we get swept by the Patriots, not only do we not really deserve to make the playoffs - but we're simply not a SB caliber team.

 

We have ONE tough game remaining.  Gotta take it.

 

If the Bills go 3-1 to close the regular season and get in the playoffs, then they get exactly what they deserve. The same is true if they don’t get in.

Especially if they keep going for two.

Whatever.  Just get in and anything can happen in this conference this year.

[Bing Bong]

There's so many running backs in this league that can't do what Kamara did on that third down

I agree. Do we know if we want Bengals or Ravens to win that game ? Maybe it doesn’t matter idk. It seemed that it would be more advantageous for the Ravens to lose to LAR, just not sure about The division game. 

[buffblue]

I believe someone mentioned this earlier, but now that the Bengals won today we should root for them against Baltimore next week.

 

With a victory, Cincy would be 4-1 in the division and 7-3 in the AFC which would put them in a strong position to win the division (and completes a season sweep of the Ravens). They are the last team of the 3 AFC North foes we want to be competing against for the WC.

How does taysom Hill just throw all over the bucs?

As of now it doesn't matter much.  What matters is 2 teams with the same record (currently) as the Bills and someone will lose (except tie).

I only see the ravens, bengals or browns stealing the bills spot if 10-7 so need them to lose out as much as possible

 

Browns play Bengals in the last week. Both have 6 losses already. The Bengals also play Chiefs, Browns also play packers.

He see's different coverage than what a Josh Allen would see. Kamara is the much bigger threat here, may sound goofy but they purposely leave holes to better protect against other dangers the saints present.

Why in the hell Tuesday games are in the same time slot??

I think that’s an error. One is 4pm eastern time zone, while the Rams game is 4pm in pacific time. They’ll be 4pm and 7pm on the east coast.

I'd fire John Harbaugh.

 

You have the best kicker in the whole league.  The man kicks field goals from the moon. 

 

That's a second game Harbaugh has lost out of some misplaced sense of confidence or ego. 

Perhaps the xp he missed on the previous TD played into the decision
