If the following happens - NE is out of the playoffs

[psuscott16]

Bills win one more. 

Miami wins out.

NE wins week 17 versus Jax and loses to Miami week 18.

Indy loses to the Raiders next week and wins week 18 versus Jax.

Raiders win week 17 versus Indy and the Chargers week 18. 

 

They would all be 10-7 but Miami would end up the 7th seed, Indy the 6th and the Raiders the 5th as a result of tie breakers. NE would be out of the playoffs.

 

I know this is the scenario I am pulling for 😁😁. Not to far of a stretch either. Raiders beating Indy and Miami beating NE are probably the 2 hardest ones to happen.

We'd have to win at least one as well.

Thanks! Adding that

There's no way the Raiders are beating Indy & the Chargers back to back. 

[Warcodered]

The Bills could technically still be the 1st seed at this point or miss the playoffs all together. Things are really close in the AFC.

Assuming we are the three seed, because we have lost to the Titans and likely can't catch the Chiefs, not sure that Indy as a 6 seed is the team we want to host in the playoff first round. They are designed to beat us, esp in bad weather.

[JoshAllin]

No one has clinched yet so anyone can be out the playoffs as of now. But the bills are less than 1% chance to miss po's if they beat atl and NE are 1% to miss it if they beat jags. Both are pretty much locked though. Weird though that if phins lose today then pats clinch with a jags win while bills don't clinch with a win

If they can beat Indy, they can certainly beat the Chargers, who atm seem to be stuttering.

Is Wentz not "vaccinated?"

he wears a mask on the sidelines, so I’m guessing no.

And then depression set in....

Chargers really screwed the pooch yesterday. Before that loss I think it only would have taken Miami and the Chargers winning out. 

 

But the way some of these teams are playing currently I wouldn't be surprised to see three AFC East teams back the playoffs this year. Chargers, Ravens, Browns, Steelers none of them seem to want it. And sure as hell can't trust the Raiders.

How sweet would it be if the Bills got to play both the Pats and Dolphins in the playoffs and knocked both of them out.

KEE-raist!  I thought it was a devout RC Pats* fan after receiving Holy Communion.  It's a depressed rummy on a barstool.

Unless he changed his stance he is not. Indy press was really hard on him about it in preseason, then the wins started coming so they let it go.

He’s not vaccinated which is a huge risk but at least he’s trying to wear a mask and distance himself.  Still a major risk:

There was no way we would lose to the Jags.

 

On that note, I'm sure your scenario really opens up if the Pats also lose to the Jags.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

For the bills to get the 1 seed

Week 17

No he has been pretty vocal about it too.
