There isn't one AFC team hitting on all cylinders. It's odd because in other years there was always one team (NE or KC) above the rest. In the 90's, the NFC title game was the SB. You knew the Cowboys or Niners would wipe the floor with their SB opponent. But there isn't one SB matchup where you can definitely say "That team will definitely win!!". More parity than ever. Even the Texans are playing great teams to the end.

If Detroit played this way from the start, they could be fighting for a top seed in the NFC right now.

Patriots just got absolutely hosed by the refs.

Embarassing.

Exactly. He could've at least waited until next week to play this bad. Arghhhh

I can't see Cincinnati losing that game. I say that because even if NE gets after Burrow, who will be scoring TD's for Patriots? Cincinnati doesn't need to be great in that game to win.

They struggled to start the season. Seem to be playing their best ball the past month or so.

Bucs have been a mess. This might be the worst I have ever seen Tom Brady play. It sucks for him...and unfortunately for us.

I do agree. I would never put money on anyone but KC/Buf/Cin getting through the AFC. Cincinnati still needs to win that division though. If Baltimore sweeps them, it's likely the Ravens take the North. That changes everything. If Cincinnati were to beat Baltimore &NE, yet lose to us, I don't know who wins the north. I think it may be Baltimore? Both would have split. Both with 5 losses.

Denver either. But they are a joke and gave up long ago. I'm just saying they have a pretty easy schedule remaining. We just need to win out. Cincinnati is the tough game. That will be a pickem. Those receivers on Cincinnati scare me though.

Never know. Nobody expected Cincinnati to get through the Raiders, let alone entire AFC, last year. Miami is a threat just because of those receivers. Baltimore has coaching experience if they get in.

They aren't losing to Seattle or Denver at home. @Raiders? Well...who knows.

I'm not even sure why he returned. And after he did return, he made the fatal mistake of having Arians kicked upstairs for Bowles.

Ugh.... Bucs are an absolute disaster. They are really bad. Cincinnati won't go away. Lucky team. Next week they get NE. Maybe the Pats will come through. I doubt it though.

I'd rather not press our luck with another playoff game in that stadium. KC is way better at home. I also find that they have played better against top tier competition than lower tier competition. They seem to do better against better teams. And let their foot off the gas against dregs. Yes, we essentially have won three games there in the past 16 months. But I want them in Buffalo. If an injury doesn't happen, I don't see them losing to Minnesota. Minnesota has a poor D & just looks out of sorts. Dallas could give them trouble because of familiarity. But Dallas doesn't have great coaching. SF is the one I think would have the best shot. Shanahan seems to do well no matter the QB. He is a top three coach imo. I wouldn't be stunned if SF went into that stadium and won. But Philly is a tough place to play. It is cold and the fans are...interesting to say the least.

I looked it up. Most consecutive home playoff games NE played was: 09-13: 7 09: One and done against Ravens 10: One and done against Jets 11: Beat Den & Ravens. Lost SB 12: Beat Hou & lost to Ravens 13: Beat indy before losing in Denver This is of course all irrelevant. If Mahomes wants to catch Brady in SB wins, his team better get him an elite D. But yes...how would Mahomes do in Buffalo weather in late January?

Tampa Bay possibly giving us an early Christmas gift? I hate cheering for Brady. But...take the lesser of two evils here.

I don't know how we fix the OL. A bad OL will ruin any SB aspirations (See KC two years ago). Maybe more quick screens?

If we get to the SB, yes longgg ways to go, Philly is a bad matchup for us. In fact, they would be a pretty bad matchup for KC too. Does it mean we can't win? Of course not. I'd rather see Minnesota or even SF. Doesn't matter though. Too many games to play. Forgot to mention: KC plays two straight home games. They are more formidable at home. So how much is playing down to their competition a matter of being on the road?

There really is no excuse not to win this game. Chicago has pretty much packed it in. There will probably be alot of Bills fans present. My hope is we win this game and Cincy and KC lose their games. Thus, the Cincy game wouldn't be a near must win for us. Unlikely though.

Agreed. They are not overhyped. I see Cincinnati and Philly getting all of the praise.

I think we matchup good. It won't be a death sentence if we travel to KC. We can win. But I want it in Buffalo. Both teams are neck and neck. No one team would be an overwhelming favorite.

Yeah because teams will double Kelce. It will be up to a lot of nice to good, not great, receivers to step up. I'm unsure how good their running game is.

If KC gets two seed, it wouldn't happen until the title game. Might be the most fired up Bills mafia will ever be. I don't think a player has ever started his career by playing 10 straight home games (Likely 11): 18: Beat Indy before losing to NE 19: Beat Hou & Ten 20: Beat Cle & some other team. 21: Beat Pit, some other team, and lose to Cin. 22: Will get at minimum one home game. That is unheard of.

It's great to have. It isn't a death sentence without it.
