Buffalo Bills Week 17: New York Jets (4-11) at Buffalo (12-3), 12/29, 1:00 PM, CBS

[Djp]

FF finals start today. Who would you guys start between these players:

WR3:
Hopkins vs PIT
Hollywood Brown vs PIT
Jeudy vs MIA

FLX:
B Robinson vs ATL
Ford vs PIT

I think

Jeudy vs Miami
Robinson vs Atl

I think KC-PIT will be something like a 16-13 game

ATL-WAS will be higher scoring

 

[Djp]

If KC beat PIT they clinch #1
And if f BAL L, Bills clinch #2

 

[Dubi Doo]

I think

Jeudy vs Miami
Robinson vs Atl

I think KC-PIT will be something like a 16-13 game

ATL-WAS will be higher scoring

Im worried about Jeudy without Winston
He laid a dud last week with their new QB.

Robinson has been playing terrible the past few weeks. He has a slightly better matchup than Ford, though.

Tough choices.

 

[Djp]

Playoffs...

WAS needs to W one to get the WC spot or have ATL or TB lose one

ATL its WW for division. They cant get WC

TB for five need to finish ahead of ATL like WW and ATL L one. They can get a WC by ATL WW and WAS LL and they WW

Rams could clinch division with a W and results that clinches strength of schedule. Seahawks need rams to L to make next weeks matchup winner gets division

Det can clinch div with W and MIN L.

In AFC

.DEN and LAC get WC with a W

If either LL then indy, mia, or cincy can get in. With WW out

IND has edges except for a solo IND-DEN tie

Cin must be only tied with DEN to get in

MIA need 1 of them LL and indy L one to get in

Seedings are still up in the for WC but PIT &BAL beat LAC&DEN so they have tiebreaker edge so DEN and LAC needs to finish ahead of them with WW and they LL

Im worried about Jeudy without Winston
He laid a dud last week with their new QB.

Robinson has been playing terrible the past few weeks. He has a slightly better matchup than Ford, though.

Tough choices.

I dont know what your scoring rules are but I'm thinking who can get TDs.

 

[Dubi Doo]

It'd be nice if it ended up something like this:

1 KC
2 BUF
3 PIT
4 HOU
5 BAL
6 LAC
7 DEN

BUF defeats DEN
PIT defeats LAC
BAL defeats HOU

We then need to get by PIT to get to the AFC Championship. I like our odds. BAL and KC is a toss up game, so we may have a home AFC championship game!

FLX:

I think I take Hopkins and Robinson.

My conundrum is more injury-driven.

WR2: Flowers, Addison, or Higgins (I have Jefferson, so doubling on Vikings receivers could put a ceiling on my points)
Flex: Flowers/Higgins/Addison or Connor (may be hurt)

I think Im going with Hollywood Brown and decide on Ford/Robinson later. Ford has had back to back weeks with 20+ pts while Roninson has struggled the past two weeks.

KC horseshoe up the ass already in full effect

Punt returner fumbles, ball bounces off the back of a blocker in front of him and ricochets to the one Chief player in the middle of four Steelers

 

[misterchainsaw]

Pittsburgh's defense a sieve early.

 

[1specter]

Steelers have been dogshit in the back half of the season.

 

[misterchainsaw]

TD called back on a hold and Russel throws a pick on the next play.

This game's over in the first quarter.

 

[1specter]

Classic timely flag for KC takes away a TD and leads to a Steelers interception in the red zone lol.

 

[Zman5778]

Pittsburgh has literally 3 offensive plays: run, throw to Friermuth, f*** it Pickens down there somewhere.

 

[misterchainsaw]

I shudder to think what kind of vitriol McDermott would be facing if he had the kind of half Reid just did. Two burned timeouts on the opening possession, one because they decided to go for 4th down too late, and a 12 men on a Pittsburgh punt giving them a first down.

With game management and discipline like that, Reid will NEVER be able to win a Super Bowl with his team.........................

At the very least snarky comments about how nice those timeouts would have been when they took over with 1:05 and just the one timeout.

 

[Mike McDermott]

Pittsburgh has literally 3 offensive plays: run, throw to Friermuth, f*** it Pickens down there somewhere.

And if they were playing a competent offense they’d be down 10 right now more likely than not.

 

[Jage]

So it might be that the bills dont have much to play after today.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

So based on the 2024 KC Script, Steelers should come back here, score 2 TDs, and then Mahomes leads the Chiefs in the last 30 seconds (with the benefit of a 15 yard penalty) and they kick a 60 yard FG to win.

EDIT: I forgot to account for the fact the Steelers f***ing suck.

Definitely Houston fans if Pittsburgh loses here

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Definitely Houston fans if Pittsburgh loses here

I think we're Houston fans regardless.

 

[misterchainsaw]

I think we're Houston fans regardless.

Probably, but Denvers played Mahomes super tough under Payton and if we do get the #1 I'd love Baltimore to climb to 3

 

[Zman5778]

Alrighty. That does that.

Beat the Jete, then rest everyone week 18.

 

[Zman5778]

And keep in mind that KC is doing this to PIT while down Chris Jones.

PIT ain't beating KC in a playoff rematch in KC (assuming that PIT gets the 5 seed and beats Houston).

How sure are we that Pittsburgh wins the WC round? Whether as a 5/6 vs Houston/Baltimore, or as a 3 vs Chargers/Broncos? I think they are one-and-done regardless who they play.

Which is why the "Baltimore vs Houston first round means we avoid them in the divisional" talk doesn't fly with me, because in that situation the Steelers probably lose the WC game and we end up playing the 4v5 winner anyways.
