Patriots or Bills

[dsully]

If both teams finish 12 and 4 who wins the division?

Patriots do.

Patriots. Head to head would be a wash as would divisional record. The next is common games.

Pats will have lost to Bills, Chiefs, Ravens and Texans. Bills didn't play the Texans or Chiefs.

Bills lost to the Patriots, Eagles, Ravens and Browns. Ravens common loss but the Pats beat the Eagles and Browns.

So excluding the rest of the division and teams they both beat in the NFCE and AFCN the in common games the Pats are 2-1 and the Bills 0-3

Patriots. Common games tiebreaker. Patriots are 2-1 vs Bal, Cle, Phi and Buf is 0-3

Same tiebreaker that denied them the AFC East and the playoffs in 02

It's simple - win out, #2 seed. Lose to Buffalo, beat Miami Pats are #3 and host Pittsburgh wild card weekend; beat Buffalo lose to Miami Pats are #3 and host Pittsburgh wild card weekend; lose both and Pats are going to Houston wild card weekend. Spare me the but what if KC loses, what if Buffalo loses both, etc....this is what's going to happen given each Patriots' result

Is that anything like:

"......spare me the 'stop repeatedly trolling us on this forum tonight, because the Super Bowl isn't over yet and the Patriots could come back and beat the Falcons' ".?????

On the one hand, I get what you're saying because you want to focus on what the Pats can do to control their own destiny. You don't want to be in a position where you have to hope KC loses, etc.

On the other hand, it's you, with your MO, so piss off with your certainty. Any given Sunday, and I'm not giving up hope on the 2 seed if they lose tomorrow.

Creating a new PatsFans account and creating a new thread was easier than Googling “Patriots bills playoff tiebreaker” or looking through one about twelve threads that already clarify this.

To be fair, he joined in 2013. He may have needed to reset his password, though. I understand that can be quite tricky sometimes.
