All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

What we would need to happen.
Buffalo - wins out
Cleveland - In addition to losing to Buffalo losses one other game. Maybe in NY this weekend.
Tenn - Finishes 3-1.
Jax - Finishes 2-2 with losses to Pitts and Hou.
Records
Buffalo 10-6
Jax 10-6
Ten 10-6
Ties broken in
I think that this is true.
Lets say the bills win out. that puts us at 10-6.
lets also say that cleveland wins all their remaining games except for the bills game.
lets further prognosticate that the jaguars lose at pittsburgh and also lose one more game, be it against Oakland, Carolina or Houston (not probable, but im

My guess would be that Buffalo would win the tie-breaker over Cleveland by virtue of head-to-head and we beat them, and over Tennessee by virtue of a better record against common opponents.

Re: So do the Bills control their own destiny yet?
thats what i was afraid of
it seems really strange to me that we own tiebreakers against both teams but if we end up tied with both at 10-6 we are out
my understanding is that if they all finish 9-7 with the bills beating the browns then the bills are probably in. hmm
now that thats out of the way the annoying poets earlier can have their moment - all that really matters is next week at cle. and if thats not bad enough the giants are also fighting for their playoff lives, albeit less urgently, the following week. at least the eagles are crashing and burning but they might want to try to make that last game a statement
so i would guess the odds remain the same as they were before today, around ten percent

Re: So do the Bills control their own destiny yet?
i believe if we all end up at 9-7, then yes, the bills get in because tennessee will have a worse conference record than the bills and then well beat cleveland with that head to head matchup.....
but if cleveland and tennessee both lose again, then the bills should be in at 10-6 anyway.....
so if the browns and titans want to help, theyll lose
Lets exorcise the Music City Curse! No playoffs since so-called "miracle." LETS GO BUFFALO!!!!!!
