Playoffs Talk

Buffalo Rumblings has an interesting article on playoff numbers for the Bills:  The Bills and the Playoffs

The article points out what we all know, that the Bills are close to clinching the division.  Two wins by Buffalo, two losses by Miami or a win and a loss by each would do it.  Miami is second place in the division with 4 wins and 6 losses.  By winning out, they can get to eleven wins, but Buffalo owns the first tie breaker over them (head to head).  New England and the Jets have 3 wins and 8 losses.  If one of them could win out, they can only tie Buffalo's record of 9 wins.  If Buffalo takes care of things with respect to Miami, The Jets and Cheatriots are history too. 

 

Do you wonder if the Bills could win a wild card berth?  It would be difficult.  If Buffalo loses out, 9 wins might do it, but it's not likely.  If Buffalo win's just one more game, I think they could sill win a wild card spot, though as I read the article, I don't think it agrees.  Clearly, it's much easier at this point to win the division than win a wild card spot.

I think they have a real chance at the one seed. Buffalo still isn't playing their best football and I think when the playoffs start I think the bills and Allen are going to go full 1989 49ers in the playoffs and destroy everyone. We would've done that in the 21 playoff if tre white never got hurt....

 

Maybe I'm a homer but I truly believe that if we go in fully healthy 

 

We also have real depth where if a couple guys go down I still think we will win it all.

The Bills could clinch the Division before they play their next game, if the following four outcomes happen:

 

Week 12 - Patriots beat Dolphins

Week 13 - Packers Beat Dolphins, Colts beat Patriots, Seahawks beat Jets

 

Dolphins would be at 8 losses, with the Jets and Pats being at 9 losses.

Why are we even thinking about wildcards? Did the whole team injure its spleen last night?

It's a long standing mid-November tradition to think about all the ways the Bills might sneak into a wild card spot. We just aren't used to approaching it from the other side.

I think we end up with the 2 seed and will face the Broncos.  So glad the Bengals lost last night.  Best case scenario if we can't catch the Chiefs is Steelers win the North and the Ravens get the 5 seed.

 

This is my prediction which I think is where they actually seed now...

1.) Chiefs

2.) Bills

3.) Steelers

4.) Texans

5.) Ravens

6.) Chargers

7.) Broncos  

 

Final four would be Ravens @KC and Steelers @Buff. 

 

Maybe the Ravens take them out and we host them for the AFC Championship game.

Man I love your positivity. Not sure I’m quite as high on the Bills but it’s a nice change from all the negative nabobs.
