Buffalo Bills Week 15: New England (3-11) at Buffalo (11-3), 12/22, 4:25 PM (flexed), CBS

Think I’m rooting for Denver to win this with LAC playing NE and Vegas to close. They should win one of those matchups which would eliminate Cincy. Want nothing to do with that offense

Yeah, Cincy's passing attack is lethal....but that's about all they got. Their D is god-awful.

But, that said.....there is this plausible scenario out there:

KC gets 1 seed and a bye
Buffalo vs. Cincy as the 2/7
Pitt vs. LAC as the 3/6
Houston vs Baltimore as the 4/5

We win. LAC find a way to win and the Ravens win.

LAC vs. KC then we get the Ravens.


Bengals/Ravens/Chiefs as our 3 to get to the SB is a dark timeline.

A part of me wants Baltimore. It would be sweet to send them packing in the playoffs again....Nothing against the team but some of their fans are beyond annoying...

 

[Der Jaeger]

Wow, the Chargers converted a free kick. The last time that happened, I wasn’t even born yet.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Of all the 6-8 teams, the Colts probably have the best chance to make the playoffs given their remaining schedule and if they win out they'll have conference record tiebreak in the event of a 3-way tie. They'll need help in the sense that if it's a 2-way tie with just the Broncos then they lose H2H tiebreak, but if any other 6-8 team (Bengals, Dolphins) also gets to 9-8 they're in.

 

[misterchainsaw]

We're all mentally locking Houston into the 4 seed, but they'll win tiebreakers against Pittsburgh too. If they get back to their early season form and knock off both KC and Baltimore they're probably going to be the 3 seed.

Still a ridiculous amount of ways the final bracket could look

 

[TehDoak]

Denver might have forced themselves into a sophies choice a bit here.

They don't own a tiebreaker over:

Pittsburgh, the Ravens, or the Chargers.

The Chargers are playing @ the Patriots and then @ the Raiders. So 2 likely wins there.

So, it will be hard for them to ascend past the last playoff spot unless Baltimore loses 2 out of 3.

If the Chiefs split between the Steelers and the Texans, the Broncos may have the decision:

Beat the Chiefs, play the Chiefs in the wild card
Lose to the Chiefs, play the Bills in the wild card.

Of course, if they lose to Cincy next weekend, it will likely be do or die vs the Chiefs

Anthony Richardson having to play in the elements against our corners? Sign me up for that.

It'd be tough, but imagine Allen slaughtering Burrow, Lamar, and Mahomes (in arrowhead) on his way to his first SB win + MVP? The trash talk we'd have over those teams would be epic.

Alternatively, the SB path that quells no narratives but is still a SB path

KC 1 seed
Buffalo vs Indy 2/7
Pitt vs LAC 3/6
Houston vs Baltimore 4/5

WC
Buffalo wins as they should
Pittsburgh wins because Tomlin voodoo magic and Chargers Chargering
Houston wins even though Stroud is mid because the Ravens pull their classic choke

Divisional
Buffalo wins because of Russ' limitations and Tomlin voodoo magic runs out and Josh is on fire
Houston wins even though Stroud is mid because KC bs magic runs out

AFCCG
Buffalo wins because Stroud is mid and Josh is on fire (average Josh wins the WK5 game, we got terribad Josh that day)

How many outdoor games has CJ played in, and how many of those had elements?

 

[misterchainsaw]

How many outdoor games has CJ played in, and how many of those had elements?

He did play at Ohio State and the Big Ten. I'd imagine he's played a couple of at least cold weather games there, if not snow.

 

[TommyDangles]

How many outdoor games has CJ played in, and how many of those had elements?

The Ravens divisional game was sub 30 degrees and windy. He was 19/33 for 177 yards.

I do remember him whining about cold weather games in college.
