Week 18 chat of games needed for Bills to clinch

[letsgoteam]

NEED ONE or more:

Bills (WIN/tie)

or

Pitt @ Balt (Pitt loss/tie) 

or

Jags @ TN (Jag loss/tie)

or

Texans @ Colts (Tie)

 

Above are the scenarios for the Bills to clinch. I made a little website for everyone to discuss. Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth for week 18 begin!

GO BILLS, W and not worry about this junk!

 

 

 

 

Scenarios for other teams to clinch:

PITT gets 7 seed with:      

1) PIT win + IND-HOU tie

2) PIT win + BUF loss

3) PIT win + JAX loss/tie

4) PIT tie + IND-HOU do not tie + JAX loss

5) (even w PIT loss) IND- HOU do not tie + JAX loss + DEN win

 

COLTS get in with:

-WIN & IN

-There is also no scenario in which the Colts make the playoffs with a loss. 

The Colts could make the playoffs with a tie and:

-A Jaguars loss (win AFC South)

-A Steelers loss (win AFC No. 7 seed due to head-to-head tiebreaker with Texans)

Pitt @ Balt loss still most likely even with Baltimore resting a lot of starters.

I’m putting $5,000 on a Colts-Texans tie

You missed one. We clinch with win v Dolphins.

If someone else wants to or I will later tonight lay down the scenarios for those teams and what they are playing for. For example, I think Pitt can only get in if the Bills lose or Colts/Texans tie

It's still a division rivalry, and I'd bet Jackson & the starters play the 1st half.

 

That said - it would feel kind of appropriate if we had to beat Miami. They are really banged up right now. I think we come out on top & take the division, and become a pretty unexpected 2 seed.

Bradley Chubb may have suffered a torn ACL in the Dolphins' loss to the Ravens

A PIT win is not guarantied.  I remember BUF losing at home to PIT's backups during the drought and missing the playoffs as a result.

One thing needs to be remembered about the Jags is they maybe without Trevor Lawrence so that one isn’t a given over Tennessee 

[Kaenon]

Despite the win, this was a tough week for our chances.

Aside from the Bengals losing, every other game went against us today.

Ugh!

[BillnutinHouston]

I'll be mildly interested to hear more about Tua's injury.

Its a really deep reference to a different message board. At that board, a poster types very "country" and calls a thread topic a "website"

John Harbaugh is not Mike Mularkey.

Would Baltimore sit starters even though they already have a bye. That’s basically 3 weeks on no game action if they do

Hopefully they do to the Steelers what we did to Miami a few years ago - play the starters early, roll up the score and then run out the clock.

 

It looks tough though. Just have to hope the Bills beat Miami

you’d better believe it. Especially anyone who’s dinged up

I agree.  And they'd be giving the hated Steelers a shot at the playoffs.
