Playoff run-in - Bills the key?
Here's the run-in for all the teams in our division. I know we're all delighted at how easy our run in is, but that bubble was burst when I saw that it really applies to the whole division.
The one thing that us, the Jets and the Pats have in common is we all have a game left against the Bills. We all know that division games are hard-fought, and that anything can happen. I have a hard time seeing the Bills losing all three of those games, even with the awful form they've been in. Taking care of them in Toronto will be paramount, and then hopefully they can do us some favours. Because god knows the likes of the Seahawks and 49ers won't be able to.
If the Bills don't help us out, it looks very much like we'll need to win out to get the division. But with the way this team has scraped out wins and gotten big plays when needed all year, I can honestly say that I think we'll do it. Go fins!
ps. The last point to be made here is that the Jets and Pats both have to go to the West Coast twice - this has to be a disadvantage as well, but considering the caliber of team they'll play out there I think they'll deal with it. Put it this way, I would consider either team to be choking their season away if they lost any of those west coast games. However when they come back to play the Bills they might be affected a little bit. I might be grasping at straws here, but that's what being a fan is about, right?

The fatcows are NOT the key for our division. We OWN our own destiny. We win all the games we are in, we loss then we need to dig into other teams performances.

Yeah, the Bills are key only so much as we beat them.

Lets count on ourselves and not other teams
We thankfully control our own destiny…for now…and that is incredible and the best we could ask for. So I’m ONLY concerned about US and WINNING one game at a time. We don’t have to be concerned about anyone else unless we are to lose a game down the stretch. If we do lose one, then A LOT of help will likely be needed by either divisional foes or the wildcard teams (mainly Balt and Indy). I don’t even want to think about the possibility of losing a game and missing the playoffs… It’s exciting and truly amazing that we’re in the spot we’re in right now..enjoying every second of it!!

Look,
Pats loose to Seattle Pats drop to 7-6
We beat Bills we go up to 8-5
Jets loose to 49ers drop to 8-5
Then were tied. Just hope for the Pats to loose at some point in the season.
