That was scary....

Yeah wouldn't be a major upset. I'm divided though. Yes, Baltimore winning means we get the Jags. An easier matchup than the Bengals. But...Ravens are on borrowed time headed to KC. Jags at least have a prayer in that game. Regardless, I'm a Bills fan and want the path easiest for us. So I take a home game against Jacksonville over Cincinnati.

That is hard to believe when you think about it. I was actually shocked to learn Burrow is 26. I thought he was like 24. AFC is absolutely stacked at QB moving forward. Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Lawrence, Watson, and Jackson (If Ravens keep him). NFC has...Hurts?

No way this game should be close. I do think the Bills win by at least 10. I won't know what to think if Miami somehow won this game.

Losing Von & having White battling injuries has been an issue. Don't like the prospects of possible being down one or two scores in the postseason with our D on the field. That seems like a very high line. Idk. Maybe the thought is Tua won't play.

Pass D is a huge issue. If Mac Jones & Brisset were able to do well against them, how in the world will we stop Mahomes, Burrow, or even Herbert if we faced LA?

49ers will be huge favorites over Seattle

This is my biggest fear. Teams will double Diggs and force other receivers to beat them. I don't have alot of confidence in anyone else to consistently get open and make plays. Allen can only do so much.

What I mean is beat Miami and go from there. I no longer care how it looks. Whether it's a 30 point win or 2 point win. I don't mean it like they are the favorite and we need a prayer to win.

If we don't have talented DB's, that will be exploited against KC or Cin. I think we will beat Miami. Somehow someway. But all of the pressure is on the Bills in this game. Miami is playing with house money.

It's not just the Dolphins either though. It's about us. Despite this winning streak. I feel like this game with NE was way too close. NE had a legit chance to win if their ST's were better. There are too many games where the Bills start out slow. For instance, Detroit and Bears games. To beat a good to great team, we can't be starting out slow or making dumb mistakes. I don't think we are playing as well as KC or Cincinnati right now. Those teams look to be a notch above us. Regardless of records. Does it mean we can't win it all? Of course not. But there are serious concerns with this team.

Miami matches up well with us though. And they will likely have Tua.

Division games are always tough. Unpredictable and familiarity. My thinking is this though: Tua or not. If we can't beat Miami at home in January, maybe we aren't as good as we thought.

It is a home game. So there's that. But...this is the matchup I did not want. They are fully capable of putting points up on this defense. Especially if Tua is healthy.

What about NFC? I wonder how a team like KC would match up with the Eagles. Or us and Cincinnati with Philly? They appear to be an elite team. Hurts is playing well and those receivers are elite. That run D is tough. OL is top notch. We shall see how Hurts is health wise.

Just hope the team isn't too exhausted/injured to get that SB win. My big concern.

Coaching hasn't really helped them since a certain QB left. It's obvious he masked many of their issues. If it comes down to it, I don't want to face Waddle & Hill while our star CB is still coming off injury.

If we are up like 21-0 by the end of first quarter, I would trust the D and begin resting starters. **Alternatively, if Baltimore is up 21-0 by the end of first quarter, and we are in a tight contest, I would risk resting starters and hoping Baltimore holds on. I would like to get NE in the postseason by any means necessary. **Obviously this is only if KC wins Saturday.

I think Tua would probably play in a postseason game. If it's Bridgewater, he is still capable of getting the ball down field. They have two receivers that can take the top off any D. NE has zero of those guys.

I wouldn't mind facing Baltimore over Miami in round 1. Problem is a potential AFC title game would be at Arrowhead if we both get that far. Assuming KC beat Vegas and NE beat us.

I am putting Pittsburgh out because I think it's too much to ask for them to beat Cleveland. While Flacco beats Miami. Browns, despite their record, have beaten some very good teams this year. Ultimately, I think Miami gets in because Flacco and an unmotivated Jets team will likely lay an egg. If it were Mike White, I would say differently.

I believe a KC-Cin AFC title game would be neutral site IF KC loses this weekend and Cin wins. Otherwise, said game between those teams is in KC. I agree with that because both would have 4 losses with Cin owning HTH tiebreaker. But...Cin could've possibly had 5 losses thanks to Mon night. Thus...it's fair for everyone. We just need to beat NE and hope we don't have to beat both Cin & KC on our path to SB 57.

You are correct.

Yeah it's messy!!

Yep. My hope is the Jets beat Miami (Not liking those chances with Flacco starting). We beat NE. And then get NE a week later at Orchard Park. My guess is WC weekend will actually end up shaking out like this: (2) Buf vs (7) Mia (3) Cin vs (6) Bal (I pick Cin easily) (4) Jags vs (5) LAC *So no matter what, KC ends up getting the Jags or LAC*. I suppose LAC would be tougher for them. But still...that game is at Arrowhead. Meanwhile, we need to beat Miami (I don't think the Flacco led Jets get it done) in order to get a home date with Burrow & the Bengals. *= Assuming we beat Miami. Otherwise, Miami is off to KC. I don't think Pittsburgh will get in. I'd prefer them. But I think they are in tough against Cle & I don't believe the Jets will beat Miami with Flacco.
