There is also more on their schedule than just each other. I'll revisit this again after the games play this week, just like I do every week. Bengals play Steelers (either team losing is probably good), Jags (either team losing is probably good), Colts (either team losing is probably good), Steelers (see above), Chiefs (either team losing is probably good), Browns (either team losing is probably good) Browns play Steelers (either team losing is probably good), Broncos (either team losing is probably good), Jags (either team losing is probably good), Texans (either team losing is probably good), Bengals (see above) That's only 2 teams I did, both of which are ahead of the Bills in the playoff picture currently. Other teams in the wildcard hunt like the Jags, Texans and Colts are all about to start beating up on each other, too. 1 Quote
QCity Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 The books haven't moved after the Thursday night injuries, still have the Bills at about 35% playoff chance which feels about right. Quote

It doesn't work like that. It changes all the time based on which team actually wins. One of those teams you listed will be a division winner. Thats actually a good thing. Every team you listed has the potential to take 1 of 3 wc spots and some you haven't listed. You understand that the Bills do not control their own destiny right now right? To me, that means there is zero room for error. The Bengals are the only team in the AFC with a worse conference record than us right now and they beat us so thats moot. Again, I will revisit this after the games each week. Right now Bills are pretty much in must win mode. We hold tie breakers with no one except the Raiders. I don't even know why the raiders are ahead of us in the race considering we beat them and we have the same record but somehow they are. Edited November 19, 2023 by Scott7975 Quote

If more than two teams have the same record, other tiebreakers besides head-to-head take effect first. Raiders have a better conference record than us (3-3), and a better division record too (1-1). 1 Quote

mannc Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Am I the only one who thinks the Raiders have a chance against the fish today? 14 points seems like way too much… Edited November 19, 2023 by mannc 1 Quote

I didn't list ALL teams because you should get the idea already. I think you do, but you're just stubbornly clinging to your original point. And I want you to provide me with a scenario where the Bills win out and don't make the playoffs. Every time you find yourself giving one team in the WC race wins to kick Buffalo out you'll be giving another one a loss. Please, provide the scenario that proves Buffalo does not in fact control its own destiny. Try remembering that only one team wins a game. Quote

steven50 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Posted November 20, 2023 The win tonight put us in 8th place behind the Steelers and Texans (both 6-4) . Quote

zow2 Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Denver plays Cleveland and Houston in coming weeks. We prob will root for the Broncos. I really see The Browns losing a few as a rookie QB will not carry them. Same with Texans. Steelers are nothing special either. Quote

The entire point was at the time of posting we didn’t control our own destiny and we didn’t. That may have changed this week. I dunno yet. Quote
gonzo1105 Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 The Bills need to somehow win 4 games left to get to 10-7. 10-7 most likely gets them in 9-8 and prob not unless a lot of teams fall off 1 Quote
TFBillsfan Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Pitt, Houston and Cleveland have fairly easy schedules coming down the stretch. Quote

I mean, if we can't go 5-2 the rest of the way - we really don't deserve to get in. Split the next 2 games, and things will be looking pretty good. Win the next 2 games, and it's looking like a lock.
