Bills will probably be #3 or #2 seed if they win out

Oh you can make the playoffs, but that doesn't make you worthy of being a playoff team. Every year there's 1 or 2 teams that barely make it and then get blown out by the real teams. Joe Flacco and Gardner Minshew (it autocorrected his name to Grander he's so unpopular) have a better chance of making the playoffs than Josh Allen. They wouldn't fold to the Chargers backups 

So, which one of the "unplayoff worthy" teams is the most non playoff team to you? The Texans, Colts, Browns or us? I would take us over any one of those teams. There are many factors why we almost lost to the Chargers tonight. They were coming off extra rest from a Thursday night embarrassment, they were playing at home with a new HC that they were gonna play their ass off for, we kept turning the ball over and if that didn't happen we win this game by at least 2 scores. Any team could have went through this. Are the Chiefs a playoff team to you this year? Because them and the Bills are literally identical

I mean, depending on where you look, Buffalo has the 5th best odds in the AFC?

 

Nobody “folded” to the Chargers backups. Big fat W for ya yesterday. 

Honestly, Easton Stick impressed me yesterday. Mobile, strong arm, pretty accurate, 6’4” 220 pounds. He’s an UFA this offseason. I think he’d be a good fit as Josh’s backup - very similar style. Wouldn’t have to change the playbook. That’d be a good get relative to others we have slotted in at #2 in recent years.

Also isn’t there a scenario where we can win out and Miami only loses to us and we are the 5 or 6 seed? In this scenario Miami is 12-5 and we are 11-6. I think the only sure thing is if we win out we will be in the playoffs which is awesome

False narrative.  The Bills sustained a few self-inflicted wounds last night but got the job done when needed, which is what good teams do.  The defense gave up one touchdown on a short field all night.

 

How many times during the drought did the Bills put forth an effort like the Chargers did last night only to come up short?

 

Everybody looking for style points and blowout wins to make themselves feel good should take a step back.  The Bills are exactly what we thought they were — a very good team that will be a nightmare for anyone to face in the playoffs.

 

 

 

Nightmare in the playoffs? Depends what team shows up.

 

As far as winning regardless how good we look is all that matters?  No. Diggs HAS to be a force. Gabe HAS to be what he was last night. RB 1 has yo be as good as the Dallas game, no fumble 3 times. The defense has to stop giving up yards because of soft spots, gotta cover better.  Need defensive turnovers.

 

Yes, we won last night. We have to buckle down to beat teams like KC and Ravens in the AFC playoffs.  Or a team like the niners if we make it all the way.

I prefer Bauer or CCM

 

As a goalie I preferred the old school wood sticks because they could take the force of a shot.

It seems Baltimore, Miami remains to be seen. Cleveland maybe. Texas possibly? The rest are just mush.

 

The bills? I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who think bills will 100% beat the woeful 3-11 pats.

At best it's 50/50 imho.

#2 seed:

• Beat NE, MIA
• MIA lose 1 of next 2
• KC, JAX, IND, HOU lose 1 of next 3

 

All likely except Bills win at MIA and KC lose 1. Think if Bills do win out, they'll be #3 seed. Would be great to get that #2 and have KC come here in the divisional.

I have a sinking feeling Miami is winning the next games.  Also I don’t see Kansas City losing…. But who knows?

What makes the Browns or Texans any better than the Bills? We are much much much better talent wise all over the board over any of those teams. If people consider the Chiefs as a playoff team, then the Bills should be a playoff team. They are identical this season. Outside of the 49ers and maybe the Ravens, there doesn't really seem to be any dominant teams in the NFL this year

Really.. playing down to bad teams...turnovers, bad special teams...laughable coaching decisions at times...

Those teams just look better than the bills.

Agreed. I'm a purist, I prefer wood hockey sticks and baseball bats.

I love the excitement but if the chiefs and one of Jax, IND, HOU win out as well wouldn’t we be the 4 seed? We lost the h2h vs the jags.

 

I did bet raiders to beat chiefs this week. I do feel like if the refs don’t get involved that should be a close game the way both teams have played as of late 

??? The post says that all the teams you mentioned have to lose 1 of 3, not win out

This isn’t true unless I’m missing something. It’s fun to speculate but the only truth is if we win out we are in the playoffs. What seeding from 2-7 all depends on what other teams do along the way.

Yes, we would most likely be the 6 or 7 seed in this scenario.

You do realize the Bills have ONE more loss than KC. You do realize if they win out they will most likely be a 2 or 3 seed with a 11-6 record. The Bills didn’t “fold” to the Chargers and according to the official box score they WON. Did they play great….nope but they won. There’s not a team the Bills can’t beat when they are on.  
 

LETS GO BUFFALO!

 

Merry Christmas!

??? I said I think if the Bills win out, they'll be the #3 seed. I think this is the most likely outcome. It's not a guarantee.

You know how not works around here-there are so many highlight watchers on here who take that as gospel for the other teams while simultaneously scrutinizing every detail about the Bills. I said this in another thread, every team that will end up in the playoffs this year has ugly wins, that’s not just a Bills thing. If you go back and look at the Chiefs games from last year, they are loaded with ugly wins-nobody cares though because they won the Super Bowl

Do you think the Dolphins are going to beat the ravens on the road? If so, that's a Super Bowl team right there

They might be playing for the #1 seed so they will be playing hard

The Texans have a hard schedule ahead, they have the Browns today and the Colts at the end. Colts have it kinda easy aside from Texans, Jags have it sort of easy as well

I'm honestly not that impressed by them, they haven't beaten a team with a winning record all season
