Baltimore has a pretty tough schedule down the stretch and they also lose some games their not expected to 

True..but every loss helps. Texans and Ravens play each other too, so that helps. I guess similar to Texans and Jets last week, there isn't really a total downside to either team losing tonight.

[Big Blitz]

Consider the Broncos at 5-4:

 

At Chiefs 

Vs Atlanta

At Raiders

Vs Browns 

Vs Colts

At Chargers

At Bengals

Vs Chiefs 

 

 

There are 5 wins there - the game vs Bengals week 17 wow.

Why would you want the Bills to play at Baltimore? That's why I wanted them to lose. 1 seed is likely out, so should be rooting for 2 seed at minimum to stay home as long as possible.

 

We still control our destiny for the 2 seed. Baltimore isn't going to run the table and we already have a 1 game lead on them. My main objective tonight was to avoid seeing Cincy in the wildcard round. That's the nightmare scenario IMO.

I mean those were two blatant penalties on the two point conversion. 
 

I don’t think there’s some grand conspiracy; but I do think the refs are awful and that “NY” should be able to call down on missed obvious penalties. At least in the last two minutes.

Detroit?

 

He's got us playing them in the Superbowl.  Let the man have his dreams.

I think they gave us trouble in the past because they could run the ball well and we’d likely beat them this time 

There’s still bad ju ju and ptsd with damar

They gotta go 5-2 the rest of the way with two games against the Steelers, along with Denver and Chargers. 

In 17 game schedule, 9-8 will not earn Wild card.  Only hope is winning division with 9-8 record.

The Bills still control their destiny in regards to the 2 seed, so burying the Bengals further was a more desirable outcome

They seem like they're completely mediocre this year.

Good luck to everyone who played Chase, Burrow or Lamar in Fantasy this week.

 

I have two mountains to claim out of and I don't think it's going to happen

55.4 points for Chase and yes I faced him in one league and Lamar in my other.

Great game and I’m okay with the result. We know Baltimore is in the dance most likely. 
 

Cinci is dangerous and always gives us trouble so then being buried is a good thing for us 

I would much rather take my chances in the playoffs with Baltimore over Cincy. We're not giving up another 80 yard td run to Henry.  We just don't match up well with Cincy.

[Big Blitz]

Bengals at 4-6:  

 

At Chargers

Vs Steelers 

At Dallas

At Titans

Vs Browns

Vs Broncos

At Steelers 

 

4 wins maybe maybe 5.

True about 2 seed but we are only half game ahead of Ravens due to head to head loss and we still have KC, Detroit. We likely aren't running the table.

I'm not counting out the Bengals until they have 9 losses. Their competition for the 7 seed is Denver and Indianapolis, 9-8 could easily end up being good enough. 

Jets have a better conference record than cincy right now and an easy schedule 🤣

Going for 2 there is mind boggingly stupid. If you don’t make it’s game over, and even if you do make it Baltimore still has time to get into FG range.

But the defense was playing so well tonight.

Ravens aren't either. Their D is terrible and they just lost their best player on defense.

I dunno man. Higgins is coming back an Burrow is on fire.

It's a matchup league. Our defense versus their offense is a huge mismatch IMO. Maybe we could beat them in a shootout but I want no part of that in the freaking wildcard round, with tougher opponents still to come after. Give me LA or Denver in the wildcard.

I don't think we will run the table either, but the same can be said of Baltimore/Pittsburgh/Houston. So we still have some wiggle room while hopefully avoiding a terrible matchup against Cincy in the wild card round
