I can't believe I never knew about the movie Buffalo 66.

How is that possible?

It’s just grim, innit?

I might need a rewatch. It’s been a while.

IF the Cheats lose to Miami and Buffalo and both win all their other games, why?

If the Cheats beat the Fish & or the Bills, yes, Buffalo will need more W's than the Cheats to get the division.

I've played around with the different scenarios, and this is true. Here are the tiebreaking scenarios (hopefully I haven't missed anything):

 

If the Pats beat the Bills this week, they clinch the division immediately (head-to-head tiebreaker).

 

If the Bills go 4-0 and the Pats 2-2 with the second loss to either the Jets or Dolphins, the Bills win the division (conference record).

If the Bills go 4-0 and the Pats 2-2 with the second loss against the Ravens, the Pats win the division (division record)

 

If the Bills go 2-2 and the Pats 0-4, the Bills clinch the division (division record tiebreaker).

 

If the Bills go 3-1 losing to the Jets and the Pats go 1-3 by beating either the Jets or Dolphins, the Pats win the division(division record).

If the Bills go 3-1 losing to the Jets and the Pats go 1-3 by beating the Ravens, the Bills win the division (conference record).

If the Bills go 3-1 losing to the Browns and the Pats go 1-3 beating the Jets or Dolphins, the Bills win the division (conference record).

If the Bills go 3-1 losing to the Browns and the Pats go 1-3 beating the Ravens, the Bills win the division (division record).

If the Bills go 3-1 losing to the Eagles and the Pats go 1-3 beating the Jets or Dolphins, the Bills win the division (common games).

If the Bills go 3-1 losing to the Eagles and the Pats go 1-3 beating the Ravens, the Bills win the division (division record).

 

Whew. I probably screwed up somewhere in there. That was a fun diversion.

It did, but for me the true dagger of this offense is the run game and not the passing game.  I wouldn't say the Bills abused the Bengals defense all afternoon. There was a point where the Bengals had 10 more points.

The play call here is not playing to win or lose. It's what call gives you the best chance to move the ball forward without stopping the clock. Personally I look at my #1 rushing offense in the NFL and ride that horse. Especially when it's a situation where the Bengals need to apply pressure for a stop. They're going to push up and press and there's a damn good chance that once Cook is through the hole the endzone is the next stop.

Playing to win would not be taking a knee with 10 seconds left in the first half and instead throwing a deep ball on a field where receivers have the advantage due to snow and an officiating crew that certainly loved its defensive passing play penalties. There's 10 seconds... why not take a chance?

And all of that aside.. why did the Bengals choose to kick-off rather than attempt the on-side kick? That's a clear cut decision of not playing to win.

I'm glad they won but not a single thing changes about how I feel. They are hanging on by a gossamer thread and we've already been presented with situations this year where that thread gets snapped more often than it stays intact.

We moved the ball all day long, didn’t punt, and shot ourselves in the foot more than anything the Bengals D did. And the fact that they were 10 points up at one point is a reflection of their ability to move against our defense and had nothing to do with what our offense was doing. 

I will agree to disagree with the rest of it.

It sounds like the colts were disappointed when they realized Johnny Unitas wasn’t available for a workout.

I never heard of it either.  Reading the Wiki synopsis, it sounds like a Coen Brothers film.
