ChasBB Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 "Points For" is one of the tie-breakers. I don't blame any team for running up the score. Buffalo could have taken a knee during the AFC Championship game against Oakland and walked off the field with a 48-3 victory. Instead, we kick a field goal for the sake of breaking 50 points. What gives the Bills the right to be upset with Oakland this season. Sure wish Norwood had saved that field goal for the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Oakland had been competitive, a tie-breaker could well come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thank you. Look at the offenses in the AFC West. If Oakland had been competitive, a tie-breaker could well come into play. 521760[/snapback] Yeah, except the chances of it EVER going to that deep of a tiebreaker are practically 0. It's the 7th tiebreaker (out of 10). http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakers That's like saying the Patriots were justified in going for two after the "Just give it to 'em game" because they might need the points for a tiebreaker. It's classless, plain and simple. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to see the bills field a team capable of running up the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what I posted three hours before you, including a link and everything. It's the *7th* tiebreaker, and as far as I know, has never gone that far before.
