Interesting scenario... Bills may have nothing to play for in both weeks 17 & 18

I agree...everyone plays week 16/17 at home but I'm resting most everyone in NE.  That will be our playoff bye.

Trubisky is going to go off and start a controversy on the board

I hope we’re still in the race for the one seed. The idea of significant rest for starters over the course of two games frightens me. It seems like that could make us way too rusty going into the playoffs

If we are locked into the 2 seed I would support a tank week 17-18 not for rest purposes but to keep the greatest players out of the division. The pats are currently drafting 3rd where Hunter will be if QBs go 1 and 2 as expected.  

Thats some 4D chess

Resting starters for two weeks is not an option imo. That would most likely lead to them coming out and laying an egg in the first playoff game.

The Jest game isn’t a gimme.  Rodgers has been better the last few weeks and division games are always tough.

That's fine but for the Bills to finish at 12 - 5 we would have to go 1 - 2 against two teams with a combined w/l record of 7 - 21 and with 2 of the games played at home.  That ain't happening in this or any other universe.

 

 

I don't disagree, but OP was originally saying that the Bills would have "nothing to play for" the last two weeks, meaning that they could lose both and it wouldn't matter.  I was just pointing out that that was incorrect.  They need to finish ahead of Pittsburgh, as I'm pretty sure any tiebreaker scenario is gonna go the Steelers' way.
