Playoffs, after last night.

[Patrick76777]

Scenario Number 1: Concede to Cincy

Week 16
KC over Oakland (In Oakland)
Buffalo over Tennessee (In Buffalo)
NE over Jacksonville * (In Jacksonville)
Cincy over Denver (In Denver)
Miami over Jets (In Miami

Week 17
Buffalo over Baltimore (In Baltimore)
And either
KC over Jacksonville (In KC)
Or
SF over Denver (In Denver)

* NE over Jacksonville is an optional game. If Jacksonville beats New England it would only mean that we would need KC over Jax in week 17 and the SF Denver game would be meaningless to us.

Scenario Number 2: Concede to Denver

Week 16
Buffalo over Tennessee
NE over Jacksonville
Denver over Cincy
Miami over Jets

Week 17
Buffalo over Baltimore*

* Buffalo looks to have the strength of victory tie-breaker over Cincy. If by some chance, they do manage to pass us on strength of victory, we’ll also need Pittsburgh to beat Cincy.

Scenario number 3: Concede to the Jets

Week 16

KC over Oakland
Buffalo over Tennessee
NE over Jacksonville
Cincy over Denver

Week 17
Buffalo over Baltimore
Pittsburgh over Cincy
and either
KC over Jacksonville
or
SF over Denver

Scenario 4, concede to NOBODY

Week 16
KC over Oakland
Buffalo over Tennessee
Cincy over Denver
Miami over Jets

Week 17
Buffalo over Baltimore
Pittsburgh over Cincy (In Cincy)
KC over Jacksonville


Buffalo 9-7
KC 9-7
Denver 9-7
Jacksonville 9-7
Cincy 9-7
Jets 9-7

Bills over Jets and KC over Denver in the Division Tie-Breakers

Leaving
Buffalo, KC, Cincy and Jacksonville.

Buffalo and Cincy would both be 7-5 in the AFC and it wouldn’t matter who’s better, they’d both get in.


There are other things that can happen, but these are 4 scenarios that would get us in.


I like Scenario 2 the best.

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

I think 3 is the most workable. I think Cincy comes back strong and beats Denver with a rookie QB.

The Steelers are hot, and they would beat Cincy to knock them out in week 17.

I'm starting to think that we're actually going to get in.

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

So in scenario 2... say the Jets beat the crappy Fish this week, what does that leave us needing in Week 17 besides a win?

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

winning in Baltimore will be no easy chore. that will be a very diffcult game to win. not impossible, but difficult.

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

I like Scenario 2 as well with scenario 3 as second most likely.

Not impossible

[Tatonka]

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

who do the jets play in week 17? we may need them to lose that game.

[BAM]

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

Pat, you're the man!

Like our chances assuming we keep winning.

[Dr. Lecter]

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

They need to lose to Miami. The last game for them is meaningless for the Bills. (They play Oakland)

[Earthquake Enyart]

Re: Playoffs, after last night.

Scenario 4, doesn't Jax have to lose to NE?

Oakland. In New York.
