Stop all the playoff talk

while we are at it, can we stop "is this a dynasty?" yes we have won 5 games this year. but please stop comparing this team to the 70s Steelers or the 80s 49ers. we are good. maybe even great. but we cannot be considered a dynasty. yet.

We are a non-dynasty dynasty.

That kind of thinking is so 1950's. It's 2022, if people think it's a dynasty, then it is! Keep repeating, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

The never-a-losing-season dynasty.
That 11-0 in 2020 was sort of a dynasty, at least until other teams didn’t have Covid any more.
 
Correct, 6 years without a playoff win is the longest stretch since Chuck Noll was hired in 1969. Soon to be 7 years.
For the sake of accuracy, it's soon to be 6 years for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers without a playoff win:

2017
2018
2019
2020
2021
2022

Still sucks. Could be worse, though.

I couldn't believe this when I read it: The Detroit Lions have had two out of the five longest playoff win droughts in NFL history, 31 years (1960-1991) and 30 years (1992-current). In the '91 playoffs, they beat Dallas in the second round, then lost to the Redskins 41-10 in the NFCCG. That means that the Lions have won one playoff game in 61 years. ONE. Can you imagine?
 
Can we talk playoff scenarios yet or no.
Beat the clowns and two struggling teams play with the Jets the victor we will late seed our way into an appearance. I am confident Buffalo beats the cheats...

I give us a 33 percent chance to make it.

The game could be meaningless for the Bills.

50% Either we do, or we don't 50% :)
 
This season is pretty much following mediocre Mike's normal script. Start slow, rally to finish a step above .500, pray for lots of help the last week of the season and if your prayers are answered, you end up an easy out for the 2 or 3 seed. If they do make it, let's hope they don't extend their record streak to 4 games.

True but only if they win the Cinci game when it is replayed and KC loses on Saturday…

If the bills are at 12-3. They Beat KC. KC is 13-3 … the Bengals are 11-4. If the Bills win vs Cinci, they are 13-3 and tied with KC but ahead on the tiebreaker… if KC loses, then the Bills are the top seed… if they win, then the Bills must win to stay ahead of them
If Cincy wins, they are 12-4, the Bills are 12-4, and KC is 13-3… then the Bills need a KC and a Cinci loss coupled with a win to get home field.. If KC wins on Saturday they still need to beat the pats to get the 2 seed with a cinci loss…

This is why the NFL is stupid to have Saturday games on the last weekend…
