TrueBlueGED Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Jets deserve it, Bills and chiefs don't Why do the Jets deserve it and not the Chiefs? Quote
darksabre Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Are you kidding? There are a lot of easy outs there. Starting with four games in the division. Then there's Jax, Balto, Cinci (I still am not a believer), St Lou, Oakland (see Cinci), Phoenix possibly in winter, etc.... You say easy outs, but what you mean is "teams the Bills will lose to because they shouldn't". Quote

Then there's Jax, Balto, Cinci (I still am not a believer), St Lou, Oakland (see Cinci), Phoenix possibly in winter, etc.... Jacksonville beat us this year and is only getting better. There's no reason not to believe in Cincinnati as a GREAR regular season team. It's not the playoffs we're talking about. Oakland is going to be interesting because they could go either way, especially with them likely moving to a new city. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 This is a league where the Steelers, who may be the second best team in the AFC, just lost to a Ravens team fielding like 2.5 starters from the beginning of the season. Outside of the Patriots, I'm really not willing to put any stock in next season's strength of schedule. I'm also fairly certain that one year's strength of schedule to the next has no correlation that even approaches statistical significance. Quote

Oakland is going to be interesting because they could go either way, especially with them likely moving to a new city. Jax beat EJ and Boobie Dixon this year. Cinci, same. Oakland is freaking weak.

I'm sure we'll get the Bengals before they do their usual implosion too, which will be annoying.

Hoss Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Jax beat EJ and Boobie Dixon this year. Cinci, same. Oakland is freaking weak. Cincy also beat some of the best. Oakland isn't "weak." But I'm with TrueBlue here. Don't have much thoughts on next year. That's a ways away. Quote

This is true, but you're literally burying the Bills' 2016 season before their 2015 season is even over, so you're less than no fun and you're a pessimist. And you're visually unappealing. And your mom...is fun :w00t: Here's a depressing thought: if the standings hold through next week, your AFC starting QBs for the playoffs are going to be Brady, AJ McCarron, Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weedon, Alex Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Those games are going to be pretty awful to watch. Of course the glass half full view is that if those guys can make the playoffs, why can't Tyrod? (And yes, I'm well aware McCarron and Osweiler are only starting due to mid-season injuries). Quote

I'm actually a huge optimist, and start each season believing that we'll go 19-0. Next year shall be no different. I'm definitely ugly though. And I'm telling my dad on you. Quote

(And yes, I'm well aware McCarron and Osweiler are only starting due to mid-season injuries). Maybe I'm mistaken but I'm pretty sure Brian Hoyer will be back for the Texans by then. He's not much better (despite having a big year). Fitz is also starting due to injury but Geno is a downgrade. Fitz is having a huge year (a better single year than Tyrod). But the point stands. If he grows off of this season and avoids the ineffective/negative impact games next year he can be in the playoffs. Or if the rest of the defense carries him. Or if the entire division collapses like it did for the Texans. Quote

I can't believe I forgot about the Geno punch :lol: Man talk about luck, the freakin' Jets fall backwards into a QB upgrade because a teammate punches the incumbent starter over a sum of money I'd be comfortable covering. Fitz may have taken the job over at some point anyway due to poor play from Geno, but even a month of Geno probably costs them the playoffs. Quote

Hoss Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Vikings - Packers flexed to next Sunday night. Bills stay at 1 pm. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Good, so if the Jets lose and steelers win then the steelers are in? If they both lose who has tie breaker? Quote
Hoss Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Good, so if the Jets lose and steelers win then the steelers are in? If they both lose who has tie breaker? The only way the Steelers get in is with a win and a Jets loss. Jets are a game up on them but Pittsburgh has the tiebreaker. Quote
Taro T Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Posted December 28, 2015 The only way the Steelers get in is with a win and a Jets loss. Jets are a game up on them but Pittsburgh has the tiebreaker. At the beginning of the Vikes game, they said a Stealers W and 2 Donkey L's will also get them in. Quote
Hoss Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 At the beginning of the Vikes game, they said a Stealers W and 2 Donkey L's will also get them in. Also true. Forgot the Broncos hadn't clinched yet. Quote
