    The Playoff Machine

    Have fun. First time I did it, I just guessed who I thought would win and had the Bills win out their games. If my guesses came to fruition and the Bills win out. They become the 6th seed. Pretty cool set up.

    Use the NFL Playoff Machine from ESPN to predict the NFL Playoff matchups by generating the various matchup scenarios based on your selections.

    Interesting. I had the Bills losing the last game to NE and still getting the 6th seed at 8-8

      I had every away team winning from here on out, and the Bills winning the rest of their games, and we made the 6th seed. lol

        if the home team wins every game from here on out, and the Bills win the rest of their games, we're a 4 seed, and win the division. hahah. not sure how that's possible, but the Patriots are 9-7 in that scenario too.

          if every team picked to win that week based on Power Rankings, and we win out, we don't get in.

            in this scenario, we'd be playing a home game if we met the Broncos. They'd end up a 5th seed. ahahahha

                  we'd be playing at NE on the last game of the season for the #2 seed, but according to that, if we lost, we would be knocked out of the playoffs.

                    The Tampa game will be huge.

                        That got a gut laugh out of me! "There can be no hope! You're wasting time! You should be figuring out who to blame!"

                        We talked about this in the other thread... that KC game is going to haunt us if we aren't able to go on a run here, and while we may be "better" than a lot of the teams we play, winning 4 in a row to make the NE game meaningful is a tough task.

                          I messed around with this machine too, and because I'm a big homer, picked the Bills to win out and get the 6th seed. In reality, they're going to lose at least one of the next three "easy" games, then I'll be forced to pull for my second favorite team in the playoffs -- anyone but New England.

                            Because it's bull****. Like I said before- the word part of this decade+ of fail is anywhere from 4-8 meaningless games at the end of every season because we are already out of the playof hunt.

                            This ****ing mental masturbation- ****ing inventing damn near impossible scenarios to pretend we are still in it when we aren't- is just rubbing salt in the wounds. It's setting yourself up to be disappointed in this team yet again.

                            We are 4-7 with 6 AFC losses. We aren't making the playoffs. Just deal with it.

                              That is not the point.

                              The idea that it bothers you so much is highly entertaining and confusing.

                              For somebody who always tells us that you think others get "offended" to easily, you certainly seem to let people having a little fun, that has no impact on you, under your skin pretty easily
