Yeah, that's where I really started with when thinking about this thread. We could practically just rest starters the rest of the season and largely not have it matter (not that I think that's a good idea).

The part that I hadn't thought about before is that it's not even enough for the Bills to knock out the Pats. If they do, our tiebreakers go to the Bills, and we lose those due to conference losses. We need the Bills to be at the Pats and ALSO lose some on their own.
