Whether in front of us, such as Cleveland & Indianapolis or behind us (Baltimore) every team that we needed to lose; didn't!! The only positive that I could make out was the Chiefs win getting closer to securing the #1 seed throughout the playoffs. This way my thinking is that the Bills will have nothing to play for except seeding with Pittsburgh unless the Steelers take care of business and then that would be a moot point. Hopefully we catch a break because lord knows we need a break!!! Finsup.....
 
...good news is this super young team -- almost dominated by rookies
is already in "playoff mode" playing very important games in late December!

Great bonus experience for these kids!

>>> how many of us thought this was coming like 16 weeks ago?
 
Not surprised we didn't get any help looking at the matchups today. That's fine, we'll get there on our own.

I believe the Bills will still be playing for that #2 seed come week 17 as they would own all of the tie breakers over Pittsburgh should they finish with the same record. So even if pit wins the next 2 games they are only 1 game ahead of the Bills and if Pitt loses week 17 and Buf wins then Buf gets #2 seed. Now if Pitt loses the next 2 and Buf wins next week then they could clinch #2 before week 17 but that's highly unlikely since Pitt plays the Bengals on Monday night.

There's not a huge difference between 2-3 seed this season other than matchups.

Only 1 seed gets first round bye this year. So unless Buf is in a position to catch KC, i don't think they would be pressing to pass the Steelers. Not saying they will rest all of their starters but certainly possible they wouldn't play anyone that's a little banged up to get healthy for playoffs

Idk about that... #2 seed gets to play at home and not have to travel until at least the conference championship round and even then they only have to travel if the #1 seed makes it that far... I'm sure it matters to them.

Kc and Pitt keep winning Buffalo may not be playing for anything week 17.

at this point I think we have to win out. Is what it is

As long as KC wins this week, the Bills won't have a shot at a bye. Not really any difference between the 2 and 3 seed with the new format.
