Really the only hope for a bye week is two losses from Baltimore and tonight’s game doesn’t affect that.
If we beat the Pat's and end up 12-4 and the Patriots and up 12-4 we would hold the tie break meaning we would be the #2 unless Houston wins out. [Reply]

oh shit you right
i imagine baltimore takes care of buffalo next week
we'd be even with them in conference record if everything else holds, so then it goes to strength of victory/schedule, and we got that over them easy [Reply]

And if a bye isn’t a possibility, when do we start thinking about resting banged up starters for the playoffs. The division is very close to being in hand.
You are right. I was getting mixed up thinking about the Bills getting the bye over us. [Reply]

Yep. Bills are a much better team. If Tannehill beats us twice then we were not going anywhere anyway. If Mahomes doesn't miss Hill we go up 17-0 on the Titans and I doubt we lose. The Bills have a fantastic secondary and a running QB like Allen could pick up big 3rd downs on the road. [Reply]
The thing that sucks is with New England or Baltimore wherever we play you cant predict the weather. I'm pretty confident even with good weather dont score 40 on either. That wind really fucked up Mahomes game today which I think is a key competent in beating either team in January. [Reply]
