A buddy of mine (a large man who was an all-state LB in HS) was having a party in Pburgh back in the day where Craig Heyward showed up and started causing some trouble. Buddy (who is now a brilliant MD) proceeds to sucker punch Ironhead right in the face. Heyward didn't so much as flinch then proceeded to chase my guy all over their house. Enough guys ran just enough interference for him that he managed to escape through a window. 

This sounds a lot like the night I met my 3rd ex wife!

 

I'll add, it takes big cahones to punch a man with a professional nickname of "ironhead"

Everyone wants to play Pittsburgh or Denver at this point 

 

no one wants to play Buffalo KC or Baltimore

I guess I'm in the minority, thinking a Ravens win here would be better.

 

If Baltimore beats Pittsburgh and the Bills win tomorrow, the Bills would be two games up on the Steelers and Ravens for the 2 seed, with 2 games to play.

 

Pittsburgh losing would also mean they have not clinched the division and would have to treat KC on Christmas as a must-win.  If PIT wins, the 1 seed would still be in play in week 18, assuming the Bills handle their business.  If KC wins and the Bills beat the Jets, they've clinched the #2 seed and could rest starters week 18.

 

I just don't see Baltimore losing to Houston or Cleveland.  They also hold all tiebreakers over the Broncos and Chargers.

 

TL/DR:

Ravens over Steelers

Bills over Pats

 

Steelers over Chiefs & Bills over Jets puts the #1 seed in play week 18

Chiefs over Steelers & Bills over Jets clinches the #2 seed and the Bills can rest starters week 18.

 

Am I missing something?

Yea this is what every bills fan should be rooting for.  Pittsburgh loses today and essentially guarantees the 2 seed for Buffalo (barring an upset in the next 3 games)

 

then Pittsburgh really needs to win the chiefs game.  If they win they force kc to have to beat Denver in week 18.

That was a nice drive by the Steelers.

Apparently ball boys involved in helping KC.

I can't wait to see how Andy spins this.  "Well guys, this particular ball boy has special NFL clearance"

I thought Fox only did NFC games....

Conferences aren’t exclusive anymore. They get first dibs on NFC games, but with all the other networks the league ended the exclusivity.

I get the logic but I struggle to root for the Ravens, just like I struggle to root for the Chiefs.

i want Pittsburgh to win today and lose to the chiefs on Christmans day. Pittsburgh would lock in 3. That would mean Baltimore (probably 5) would likely go to KC in round 2, and Pittsburgh to buffalo.

He sure throws an ugly ball.

With the added benefit of the Bills being able to rest the starters in week 18

Lamar is not Josh Allen good, that’s pretty evident

That's kind of sad.

Why? They carved up one of the best defenses in the league.

[bills6969]

If we can’t get the 1 seed, my ideal scenario is 

 

1 KC

2 Bills

3 Pitt/Balt

4 Hou

5 Chargers

6 Pitt/Balt

7 Den

 

The 6 seed of Pitt/Balt wins first round and then goes to KC in 2nd round.

I get that logic too, but if the Steelers lose to the 6 seed in Rd. 1, that team would go to KC, bringing the Ravens to Buffalo in your scenario.

This looks good too.

Keep feeding Warren, he's got some juice that the Ravens can't handle right now

What if Pittsburgh loses in the wild card round and Baltimore wins?  What if Pitt wins out and the bills get upset in one of the final three.  They would be the 3 in that case.  
 

different viewpoint I guess.  I just want Buffalo to get the 2 and have a shot the final two weeks to get the 1.  Pitt losing today basically guarantees the bills the 2, they won’t get beat twice I would have to think to finish.  Plus they could rest week 18 if kc beats Pitt Xmas day.
