Wth? I clearly said I hope we never find out.  Your delusional thinking your Bills are so “hot” right now I would take the colts over the Bills in the first round..  that’s not Bills hate that’s looking at the two teams and seeing the Colts are the worst matchup for the Bills. 

True, but you add an elite QB on the other side, and things can change quickly.. like I said I wouldn’t be shocked if they were favored to win the division then.. Watson is light years better thanTua.

Yeah a QB like Watson would help them for sure. But I was responding to your comment about their D being excellent.

Steelers have an amazing D when healthy.  That loss was only shocking because Big Ben somehow scored on your D.  The Steelers will stink next year unless they get a top notch QB in FA this year.

what is amazing about the Steelers is that they actually have a plausible path to the playoffs and a path to host a playoff game as a 4 seed still!

 

They need to beat both cleveland and Baltimore (which they have already done this year). And cincy has to lose to KC and cleveland (cincy was blown out by cleveland earlier this year, so, again, plausible). 
 

If that plays out, there is a good chance New England goes to Pittsburgh. Assuming Watt is healthy, I would not like that matchup if I were you.

That opening day loss is going to haunt us Pats fans. Wasn’t for that blown game we are still in control of the East ugh (lol I know it happened but you know what I mean by the frustration.. a game you lost that you know they should have won.)

 

I see the Bills in 3rd hosting at least one game at home.

 

Speaking of home, what happened the Pats at home this year? They're gonna finish under 500 at Gillette. What's your take?

I would, their O isn’t very good and I like our D against Big Ben. The Pats would run a ton and Jones be told take a sack over a TO..  I could see them beating the Steelers, I also see then beating the Bengals because of their inexperience QB and Coach..

Early games against Miami, Tampa, and a healthy NO and Dallas… all good games but NO, and well the Miami game really stung in hind site

[Matt_In_NH]

Well the dolphins have come back from 1-7 who could have predicted that.   And two divisions have all 4 teams still in it.

You were the delusional one thinking your Patriots were anything special.

Again, I had them between 10-11 wins at the beginning of the year. I think you called me worse than delusional.. and said they be lucky win 5. I already knew my team needed more be a SB contender even if they had won Sunday.  The difference is my pats have met my expectations, I had over estimated how many wins the Bills would have. I mean you lose 1 game and the Pats win out your a 7th seed.. I had you guys fighting for the 1 seed.

The Pats don’t have a good QB. This is as good as Jones will ever get physically. BB doesn’t have the same culture he had with Tom there. If I believe the narrative coming out of Pats Nation, it’s that they came out flat against Indy and Buffalo. Heck Jones even said they didn’t have a great week of practice leading up to the Colts game. Then they came out and got beat down by the Bills. Would that have happened for the 20 years Brady was there? Nope.

I hope we get Miami

1st round Bills over Raiders, Colts over Titans, Bengals over Dolphins

2nd round Colts over Kanas City, Bills over Bengals

Again someone Saying something like a  fact which is only an opinion. No one knows how good Jones is going to be or if he will improve physically.. the Pats came out flat against a hyped up Indy, the D played like crap against Buffalo.  Yet amazingly in both games the Pats were in it till the end..  

 

Also your memory must be foggy, Brady in year 2 hit a snag too, and the Pats failed make the playoffs at 9-7.. let’s not forget he played 2 less regular season games..  so Yes this could happen to a YOUNG Brady.. what matters is how he reacts and adapts.

this is only true if Miami doesn’t win out. The first tiebreaker is divisional head to head so for example

 

Patriots 10-7

Dolphins 10-7

LV or whomever 10-7

 

Since the Dolphins went 2-0 against the Patriots it would eliminate them even if they have a better conference record than LV or whomever the 3rd team is. 
 

Dolphins in

LV in

Pats out 

Pats clinch with win and LV loss , or Miami loss

No chance the raiders make it they are a smoldering pile of garbage..

A win against Jacksonville all but puts the pats in the playoffs,

While the pats have lost 6 games, only 3 have been within the conference

 

Surprisingly new england, Cincy and Indy have had the best marks.against AFC opponents at 7-3

 

For this week I'd like to see if Cooper kupp can move into 2nd on the recieving yards in a season list

 

And I'd like to see how Ben will play in likley his last game at hienz field against the team he has owned.

right they have to have Miami lose which is what I'm saying. If Miami doesn't lose and goes 10-7 and the Patriots also go 10-7, the Patriots will be 0-2 vs Miami and that is the first tiebreaker in a multi team(3 or more) tiebreaker so yes in a two team scenario(Miami, Patriots) where they are tied- both teams would get in. Miami would be the 6 and the Pats would be the 7. 

 

If LV wins out, Miami wins out, and Patriots go 1-1 with a loss to the Dolphins, the Patriots would be eliminated. Its about knowing the difference between a 2 team and 3 team tiebreaker scenario.

That's correct, if either Vegas or Miami lose this week and pats win they would clinch a spot

 

 

Pats win + Vegas loss or Miami loss clinch spot

 

That's the scenario for them this week

 

Vegas unfortunately is my upset pick of the week prior to any Wentz news

 So need Tennessee to win, cause Miami will be a tough game for new england. 

 

The other scenario or outs won't happen

Miami is not going to make the playoffs. No way, no how.
