    Eric Allen: Bills Get Wildcard

    On ESPN Monday QB Eric Allen is picking Buffalo to get a Wildcard.. The PencilNeck host basically laughed at his choice and Ditka said the schedule the rest of the way will keep us out.. I Guess he means Pitts.

    I dont fear the Steelers even though they have a good Defense, I think they will be be trying to win homefield throughout when we play week 17.

    I think the remaining schedule favors us more than any other team in the hunt. The game that scares me most is Cincy. Pittsburgh will probably be playing us to gain home field throughout, because I don't see NE losing any between now and then. Maybe the J-E-T-S can pull off an upset, but I doubt it. I know that the Jets losing out would help us, but that's so unlikely, that I just assume they beat the Pats, leavng Pitts with a home-field clinching by week 16. This is assuming that Pitts and Buffalo win the next three, of course. Buffalo and the Jets rubber match in the Wild Card. Hey, ya never know.

        I believe that pitts cant come here and beat us! we are strong at home, and its not like they are playing well.

          Pittsburgh is by no means invunerable. Everyone also forgets Buffalo's ace in the hole: Mike Mularkey. Remember where he comes from? He's sure to have knowledge on them regardless of personell changes...

            check the schedules....NE might be able to run the table with their second team...

            NE:
            Cinci
            @Miami
            @NYJets
            SF

            Pitts:
            NY Jets
            @NY Giants
            Baltimore
            @Buffalo

            The best that Pitts can do is tie NE and I can't see that happening...the Jan. 2 game may mean nothing to the Steelers.

              Don't forget Indy (9-3) ....
              @Houston
              Baltimore
              San Diego
              @Denver

              Where could this leave the 1-game, home-field advantage race?

                yes TIE ne, but they have the tiebreaker via beating them
                so if the records are tied, pitt will be #1, ne #2..... which for the sake of wild cards would mean should buffalo advance to the conference divisional round... they would play pitt again

                  Indi is not catching Pitts or NE. That would require either NE or Pitts to lose 2 which will not happen.

                    my point was that NE is going to run the table (I said that about 3 weeks ago)...Pitts will lose 1 before the Bills game...

                      I don't think so either; definitely not NE, but Pitts is possible althought I doubt that, too. Do you see them losing any of the three prior to us? If so, can we beat them the last game (if we're 3-0 until then)? Assuming Indy wins out, they're both 13-3 and Indy's remaining wins would be to AFC teams. That leaves them with 3 AFC losses. Pitts will beat the Giants, leaving them with 3 AFC teams to face. Can two of these teams pull off an upset?

                        Sorry, tired from travelling...here is what I think...Pitts will lock up their division...lose one more game than NE but not the two needed for Indi to pass them...thus, they will be #2 in the conference coming in here on 1/2...nothing to play for.

                              Not only MM, but remeber Dicky boy coached here last year, and I am sure he has installed a simalar system back in Pitt, It could be a plus for us having Jerry Gray know what DL is all about, but then agian it could be a neg since he knows our D.
