Any Given Saturday

[JollyElm]

Man, this is a frickin' nail-biting weekend coming up for football fans!!!

As a very, very, very, very (to infinity) long-suffering Bills fan, it is unbelievable to me that they are in the strange position of either winning the AFC East OR (possibly/probably) being eliminated from the playoffs. The #2 seed OR sitting home eating Buffalo wings (slathered in freaking blue cheese and NOT Ranch dressing like they pathetically do out here).

To be a championship caliber team, they have to win a big game and 'squish the fish' to prove they can take the crown, but every season seems to end the opposite way.

The Saturday games are huuuuuuuge for their ability to (if necessary) back into the playoffs, but Murphy's Law is working against them big-time as the #1 seeded Ravens are probably going to sit everyone against The 'Buff needs them to lose' Steelers, because they have nothing to gain with a victory.

I have a tremendous amount of faith, but oy vey!!!


Stream of consciousness ramblings over.

What's at play for your team this weekend??

Well my Eagles are in the playoffs but they need a Cowboys Loss and they need to beat the Giants for the division. I am not sure if they tie how the tiebreakers go. We are also Packers fans in this house and we do like the Bills and Josh Allen.
Good Luck!

Dallas wins the tiebreaker with the Eagles based on a better conference record. That's why Eagles need to win and Dallas to lose.

Let’s go Buffalo. Not sure I remember a time where a team listed so high in many power rankings might not make the playoffs. I’m guessing the Titans powers have given direction to lose for draft pick purposes. Hopefully he disregards those. The more hopeful option is the Steelers sleep on the Ravens backup QB. Huntley is pretty good. If both of those games fail, let’s hope the Bills just squish the hell out of the Fish.

Bears can knock Green Bay out of the playoffs, it would screw up their other first round draft pick but it would be worth it. My adopted team the Falcons need to beat the Saints in New Orleans and hope the putrid Panthers beat Tampa Bay. Crazier things have happened.

Well, look at that!!

Jax fell to the lowly Titans, so the Bills are definitely in the playoffs (as, come on, they SHOULD be) no matter what!!! Finally, something went right.

Now, let's take the AFC East crown tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
