Am I right in saying that if Chiefs beat bengals in Week 17, then the Bills win all three games they are in ?

 

Colts and Texans still play each other 

Denver can still get in over us if we both end up 10-7.  As can Bengals.  Need for both those teams to lose twice.

We need the chiefs so badly, just in case Miami doesn’t lose until we play them.

 

we need them against the Bengals.

 

the colts could run the table, and the Bengals could, too, if they upend a chiefs’ team they are pretty good at upending.

 

crazy…I don’t want it to be the case, but for the first time I am considering that 11-6 may not get us in.

Or the Dolphins could go 0-3 and we win the division

Denver cannot catch us if we win out. We will be 11-6 and they would be 10-7 at best.  Would be irrelevant because if we win out we are wining the AFC East.

Pretty simple, really.

I said if we don't win out and finish 10-7.  Please read my entire post.   That's why we need to win out.

Bengals Texans and Browns all were down multiple scores. All won. Absolute insane levels of bad luck. 

 

Just keep winning. 

And because I am a seasoned Bills fan, I placed wagers on all of them

Do we want JAX or BAL tonight ? 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Todays win makes those bad losses feel even worse. If we had just one of those 4 bad losses (broncos, pats, eagles, jets) go the other way, we wouldn't be in what feels like a dire win or die situation.

 

The best option is to win out, which I thoroughly believe the can do. However, what is the playoff % likelyhood if going 2-1 down the stretch? 
 

Browns and Texans did us know favors today…

I was thinking JAX. Don’t want a scenario where jags are in WC with H2H over us… plus a ravens loss keeps them needing to push towards earning the 1 seed…they play the Steelers week 18 and don’t want them resting starters

Can we still get the # 1 seed ?

Agreed, but I referenced the Dolphins first in my post. If they go 2-0 (granted, that’s tough) the East is there’s.   Heck, even they just go 1-2 with a loss to us does it to give us the division.

 

Bills/Miami is coming close to almost being assured to be flexed.

For different reasons I want Jax to win...because I want the Ravens to lose.  If they lose tonight, then they are still trying to win home field advantage for the playoffs....so that means they will be trying to win 100% against the Fins in two weeks.  I want the Fins to lose every game they have left this season.

I believe AFCE will come down to the Bills @ dolphins

Baltimore.  Part of the crazy nonsense that all has to happen to keep us at 11 wins is the jags winning 3 or more games lol

 

And  another part is Baltimore winning only 1

No idea, I only referenced the ravens still searching for the one seed so they’ll keep playing at 100% vs their opponents

I was able to make it happen, although Ravens have to lose out, among a million other things.  Not looking good given Ravens up 17-7.

13.5 point favorites next week is wild for the Bills.  These games scare the ***** out of me
