Buffalo Bills Talk 2017 part 2 (9-7): Next - The Offseason with First Round Picks at 21 & 22

[haseoke39]

That's really an indefensible decision. They're basically saying they have a better chance of forcing a turnover than getting 1 yard. With their only real tangential chance at the playoffs on the line.

 

[misterchainsaw]

And they used a timeout to make that decision!

Defense gets a stop. Will see how far back they end up from the punt.

 

[Dirty Dog]

And he waits 15 seconds to take a timeout. someone take the TO decision-making away from him

 

[haseoke39]

The funny thing is I bet they're doing this blind to what their playoff chances are at 8-7-1 vs. 8-8.

 

[misterchainsaw]

They're calling offensive PI on that

EDIT: It's defensive!

Holy f***!!!

Yes!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice finish. Well, now New England can still be the backbreaker.

 

[stokes84]

Game to remember. That was fun.

 

[is the answer jesus]

Lol. Re-hire McDermott!

They can still get in at 9-7. More likely that what they need to happen there happens than winning in Foxboro, anyway

Tennessee-Arizona is actually a pretty darn important game for us at 4. You could easily see them losing to the Rams and Jags, so if they lose this week they have a real chance to fall into the 9-7 mix and we'd win head to head tiebreakers against them (common opponents) and have a strength of victory lead too in case of another team involved in the tiebreaker.

Colton Schmidt should get some credit for this win, putting them inside their own 10 really helped.

Meeehhhh, looks like another December where we count on other teams to lose games they should win.

Jacksonville gets to 10-6 with wins over the 49ers and Texans.

Baltimore gets to 10-6 with wins over the Browns, Colts, and Bengals.

Tennessee gets to 11-5 with wins over Arizona, SF, Jax ....

All seems unlikely. Even if we win out, could we be out on tiebreakers?

Joe Webb is the future

If he is this good in the snow....what about in GOOD WEATHER?!

Winner!

Funny thing about tiebreakers: At 10-6 we lose head to head tiebreakers with Baltimore. At 9-7, if they lose to either the Colts or Bengals (and I certainly consider losing at CIN to be a possibility) it goes to strength of victory, which we currently lead I believe.

The other consideration is that we do not want Tennessee to win the AFC South. Jacksonville is much better in tiebreakers at either 9-7 or 10-6. We'll likely need Jacksonville to go into Tennessee and beat them regardless of our final record.

EDIT: Dang, its in BAL. I still think TEN at 9-7 is possible. They aren't as good as their current record suggests.

Funny thing would be if Baltimore lost tonight and next week against the Pats, giving the Pats the conference crown 2 weeks early, leading them to rest their guys against the Bills. But they'd probably win with their second stringers anyways.

 

[SundherDome]

Let the jags keep winning and make Bortles think he is a competent qb. Would love for it to be down there for the wild card as the jags are very winnable game.
