And they gave up 19 points to a team we gave up 44 to. 

 

Good thing football isn't linear.

Assuming the Chiefs hold on, if the Texans beat the Ravens we lock up the 2 seed. And I'd advocate resting Josh and other starters for our last two games.

There is NO SCENARIO where Josh is resting the last TWO games.

Now with the Chiefs clinching and expecting a Baltimore win……

 

the Bills will go balls to the wall this week and rest the whole darn team in the finale.

Yeah, barring a Houston upset I think McD gets the guys to play a complete game Sunday.  They will play well, and get a much deserved week 18 for all the key guys to heal up.

Rams were playing on the road in cold weather traveling across country at 10am their time.

 

Teams heading east from the West Coast are usually the worst performing and it's born out over a lot of games and a lot of years.

Yada yada yada. 

 

All games have a different reason why. Pointing to point totals against is meaningless. Once the ball is kicked off ..that's what matters. An early big play by the Jets, a big turnover and giving them momentum. This could prove deadly as well.

 

We squeaked by a very bad divisional opponent last week and it could easily be the same story this week. Or we could win by 20. Or lose by 10. Football is just crazy like that lol

Agreed, it's a division game but typically when the Jets come here late in the year they get mollywhopped in recent years.

[Billsfanatic8989]

If Baltimore loses (fat chance), you still gotta play starters. Can't rest for two straight weeks. 

 

But I'd definitely rest in NE and ruin their draft spot.

Yeh but NE has worse receivers. And they were a problem against us. Jets receivers will cause any DB's issues.

[zow2]

The Bills really need to come out and execute vs NYJ.   You see it every year when teams peak early and sort of fizzle out at the end.  It's hard to flip the switch back on.  I can see resting key guys week 18 but man, they cannot sleep walk through the Jets game.  Clinching 5 games early and how to keep the momentum rolling is something they have to be mindful of down the stretch here.

[mannc]

Well, Houston’s not going help us so it’s balls to the wall against the Jests and rest guys next week in NE…not the worst position to be in.

[notpolian]

Hopefully the offense will be at least French vanilla this week rather than just plan old vanilla.

This stinks, Baltimore will get 3 seed which means Bills are in trouble. Need Texans to win but they look like hot garbage. If this holds then KC has easy path to AFC championship, of course.  

[SoonerBillsFan]

We better gameplan, we must beat the Jets with how the damn Ravens game is going.

Why? 

[billsfanmd07]

I'm driving up to see game as well. Looking for two club seats. DM if anyone selling. Waited to see these outcomes. We def need to go all out Sunday. Don't want NE on the road. Balt is not losing to Cleveland

[skibum]

Winning on Sunday would not help the Jet's chances of drafting a QB prospect. So we've got that going for us?

Why do we need a 4-11 team "not to try" to win?
