Mikie2times Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just like last year it seems many people believe AFC record is relevant in breaking a division tie. Under the old playoff format it followed division record, but after realignment common opponent moved ahead of conference record. The fact is when you look at our common opponent record with New England things don't look so good. The Bills are 0-3 against teams New England played or will play, and the Patriots are 2-3 against teams the Bills played or will play. You also need to take in consideration that those records are against our weakest portion of the schedule and New England’s most difficult. Not tying to piss on the first place talk, but in order to win this division we will either need to beat New England twice, have a better division record, or better record overall. Our undefeated conference record is great for a Wild Card, but just not as important to our division chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
