Clearing up the 1 seed situation
 

Yes, this needs it's own thread due to the amount of people in other threads that clearly don't understand how this works. I've seen several people ask "If the Bills win tomorrow, does Andy rest his starters next week" and I've even seen someone post that if the Bills lose tomorrow, we can rest Thuney for the playoffs.

So, in plain and clear language, here is the deal:


There is no scenario in which the 1 seed can be clinched by anyone tomorrow. If the Bills win, they still need to beat NE unless we lose to the Raiders. If the Bills lose, we still need to beat the Raiders, unless the Bills lose to the Patriots. If Cinci wins out and we lose to the Raiders, they are the 1 seed.

Again and most importantly for this thread, there is no chance the Chiefs are not playing for a shot at the one seed next week. The Bills can win 764-2 and everyone with a pulse will play for the Chiefs next week.

That is all.

Okay.

But what if BUF scores 765?

What if Buffalo/Cincy ends in a tie?

Yeah, we're not resting anybody next week. Except maybe Thuney.

I do think Reid should give Toub the rest of his career off tho

Yes, it is time to fly a banner. I put in the first five-dollar bill.

Honestly, thank you OP.

Too many dumbasses can’t follow a pretty simple scenario.

Same as a Bills loss.

KC moves into 1 seed.

While tomorrow doesn’t clinch anything, I will be surprised to see KC or Buffalo losing in week 17.

My one seed is in play

I'll go 2nd.

Yeah.. Its only on every football show gone over again and again..

If a train leaves Chicago heading East at 2pm and a train leaving New York heading West leaves at 4pm, what time do they collide in Pittsburgh?

You expect him to snap the ball and hold it too???

So Denver still has a chance?
