They have 4% according to NYT, but I don't find it that unrealistic. They need

 

- winning out (Browns, Broncos, Steelers)

- Broncos losing out (Chiefs, Chargers)

- Colts losing one (Titans, Giants, Jags)

- Dolphins losing one (49ers, Browns, Jets)

 

If they do their part they have a chance.

Expand  

They lost to the chargers…the chargers has 8 wins while den has 9.

 

BAL and DEN is W one and in, Chargers need W 2 

 

Cincy need to W out. They will have the worse conf record so they need to be tied with denver alone at 9-8 to get in or be clearly ahead of everyone else.

 

They need chargers or broncos to LLL and have MIA and IND each L one to be best 8-9.

 

they more likely is broncos to L out given who opponents are.

 

charges are 4-1 vs nfc, den 3-3, Indy/ Mia are 1-3 with one g to play in a tie weaker NFC means better conf record 

 

both MIA and IND W out will win ties with chargers/ broncos at 9-8 due to better conf record With a 3 team tie. Indy loses to den due to h2h L to them.  If bengals/ fins tied with colts and den/LAC then Indy gets in.

Just saw that Brad Allen's crew has Sunday's Bills game. 

He had the Bills January 2022 playoff game vs. Pats that was a 47-17 Bills win.

Bills are 7-5 when he has headed the crew and Bills have won the last 4 in a row that he's reffed.

Also called the offensive PI against the colts that one snow game. He’s a good bills ref.

Got to maintain the focus.  Can't come in flat. End it early.

Expand  

This is the key.  Buffalo is the far better team, but they have shown a knack from time to time of playing down to the level of their opponent.  They have to maintain focus.

I concur. The wings and beef on weck at Bar Bill is tops.

 

That being said, Charlie the Butcher and Schwabel's has delicious beef on weck too.

Charlie the Butcher on Wehrle is 🤌🤌🤌🤌

We deserve at least one decent ref, and by decent I mean having a tendency to help us out in a time of need! 🥴😁

ewwww. god no.   go out and get some eatable food, Barbill in East Aurora, or at the very least duff's in op.   I'd never eat that slop at the stadium. 

look what he has done since he got engaged?   your willing to risk that on him marrying your sister?   are you a true bills fan or not????    LOL

What if Allen wins it all this season?

 

Breaks the curse.

The food at the stadium is very pedestrian, to put it kindly. Since you'll be in town anyway, I suggest to look for a legit wing place before or after. 

Frankly speaking I've never had beef on weck at a restaurant, it's always been a make at home thing in my family so I am not sure where to go to get it.

These guys from Olean raved about beef on wick.

 

This was back when nobody knew about wings and blue cheese and now wings are nation wide. If you visit KC in the near future "The Peanut" is supposed to have the best wings in the city.

Exactly right. There is no reason why this should not be a blowout victory for the Bills, but let's not forget that the Bills struggled in both games against the Pats last year.

They're making fun of you because it's "weck", not wick.

This Ravens vs Steelers game who do we go for?

 

Cause If bills get the 1 seed, I think we want Baltimore to win the division and come 3rd so that they would play KC potentially in the 2nd round.

If bills get the 2 seed, then I think we want Pitts to get the 3 seed so they face them potentially in the 2nd round instead of Baltimore

The Ravens. You want the Steelers to have something to play for against the Chiefs. 

 

The critical game is the Texans at Chiefs. If the Texans pull an upset (no matter the odds), there is a very good chance the Chiefs will lose 2 games for the Bills to leap over them.

Steelers.  I don't want Baltimore to sniff the playoffs.  The Steelers and the Ravens can both play defense.  So it comes down to offense for me.  And I would rather face Pittsburgh.

Fair but if Steelers lose to the Ravens, why wouldn't they have anything to play for against the chiefs?

 

They would still be tied for first in the division with Baltimore if they were to lose this week .

 

Absolutely agree about the Texans game against KC
