They already announced what game wasn’t getting flexed?  Bal-Mia or Buf-Mia?

Can't believe the Dolphins @ Ravens game wasn't flexed. Definitely better than Vikings/Packers

My guess is that the NFL is counting on Week 18 being Bills/Phins flex, so either they don't want back-to-back weeks with same team OR it's possible that puts Miami above the allowable primetime (unable to flex week 18)

They announced Bills Miami isn’t getting flexed?

Buffalo Bills cannot earn the #1 seed. Even if Baltimore loses to San Fran, next weeks Baltimore vs Miami would be between two 11 win teams. If Miami loses Baltimore would have 12 wins. If Miami wins then Bills cannot catch them. I was curious and answered my own question

Right, we already knew that.  I think they didn’t flex that game because they intend to flex Miami in week 18.  I wonder if there’s a rule against flexing teams in back to back weeks.  Would make sense if there was.

What I mean is that if the Ravens lose tonight and win next week, the Browns can still win the division in Week 18.

 

If the Browns get the #1 seed I think my head will explode. LOL

Who’s better? Really, who can you say is better? They have only LOST 3 games, the Bills choked 6 times,  Miami is a fraud, it’s hard to take a Flacco lead team serious as the best, so who else?

I don’t think there is a class of the AFC.  
So if we didn’t choke, we would be undefeated?  
So then us.

Cool! I have no idea about the implications of a tie in that contest. Both teams would have fewer losses than the bills going 11-5-1. Maybe that would be the difference

I'm confused why everyone is discounting Jacksonville. They have an easy schedule

They have lost 4 straight and looked bad. Plus golden boy appears to be falling apart.

Because they are actually trash. And their trash QB is now more injured than he was before he was trash. Which makes him hot trash.

Let's just hope we don't lose any more games and we don't have to worry about these  Worst case scenarios. 
 

I have a feeling the Chiefs are gonna come to play next week and be pretty pissed. 
 

lets go Chiefs, Seahawks, Ravens!! Lol

Am I missing something, or do we only need 2 things to happen and we get the #2 seed no matter what?

 

1) Win out

2) Ravens beat the Dolphins next week

 

Is that really it? I've been messing around with the playoff simulator, and that seems to be all that's required. I guess I didn't realize how obtainable that actually is. Of course, even that scenario isn't "easy" given how up & down the Bills are, or how unpredictable the NFL is overall.

Yea that’s all we need. 3 games to go the right way
