Todays games you can see the home team defenses balling out. I expect the Bills D to be very aggressive tomorrow. Not sitting back

Steelers @ Ravens playoff game thread (no Bills stuff please)

Good god, his WRs settle down in the zone wide freakin open. How does that happen so often in their games? -

If Wilson can’t look like a real QB on this drive i’d bring in Fields for a look. -

Wilson looks so jittery in the pocket, sheesh -
Houston’s D has been pretty nasty to deal with all season. their O has been battered but if they get Mixon rolling plus the D, they will give even the Chiefs some problems

Saturday AFC Playoff games Pregame Thread

It’s pretty funny that the ESPN shows this morning are obsessed with Lamar struggling in the playoffs and how he gets tight. They’ve peppered Lamar with questions about it all week. It’s like the media is willing it to happen. -
Turning out to be a nice day for the game, 34 and light winds. I agree the Bills will want the Oline to dominate the trenches and run, but it will be good passing weather for both clubs. and if the Bills want to win handily they will need some chunk passing plays.

The regular season MVP has been voted on and it’s over. No media outlet or person can influence the decision anymore. With that being said, odds for Super Bowl MVP as of this morning. Mahomes +400 Goff +550 Allen +650 Lamar +700 Hurts +1500 Gibbs +1500 Saquon +1700

When the guys saw the All-Pro list today, i think that’s going to really motivate them to steamroll Denver and forge ahead. I really do. They are feeling so disrespected i’m sure.

I know someone who knows an MVP voter. This voter hinted after the Bills/Detroit game that Allen was going to win it. I heard this 3rd hand. Whatever turned the tide amongst the 50 voters happened in week 16. Josh struggled vs NE and only threw for 154 yards and had a QBR of 67.3. Meanwhile Lamar/Henry had a super game vs Pittsburgh and won big to take over the division. He only threw 23 times but tossed 3 TDs and had a 115.3 QBR. The O had over 400 yards. I still don’t think Josh is completely cooked. The Bills have a better record and better seed. They have some marquis wins and Allen has some of the best splash plays of the season on National tv. Winning the AFC East with 5 weeks remaining and coasting down the stretch may have cost him however. We’ll see in a few weeks.

The MVP votes were cast a couple days ago. All the great arguments for Allen here and online mean nothing now. The voting is done. Mangini on TV said he thinks Josh lost it with 3 games remaining. He had lousy numbers vs a terrible NE club and Lamar and the Ravens showed out and pounded the Steelers for the division. Nick Wright said Lamar winning it last year with so-so numbers not close to Dak’s numbers is the same as Allen’s path this season. He said if they are going on “valuable” in MVP it points to Josh.
-
Seeing that tweet, i am furious. So week 18 vs Cleveland actually mattered? Last year the dude sat out vs Pittsburgh and was basically unanimous.
-
Lamar won first team All-Pro with 30 votes to 18 for Josh. It's likely that All-pro is more stats driven than MVP. Some are saying it's possible Lamar was awarded the All-Pro accolade since Josh will win MVP and Saquon will win OPOY. But it's weird since many MVP voters are the same as All Pro voters. Unless they've all colluded to decide that this year the QB's will "split" the accolades. I still think Josh wins MVP. It may be closer than we want, but I believe he wins and the going forward we may see the "split" accolades more often.

The main reason is the legit power rankings as of today are different than the playoff order. In reality Baltimore is playing 7 seed Pittsburgh. I'd say Houston is the real 6 seed and Denver is probably 5.
-
Yep. I hear you. In their last two games vs teams that actually tried to beat Denver (Bengals and Chargers), Burrow and Herbert were a combined 62 for 80, 696 yards, 5 TDs, 1 Int. and 1 rushing TD. That sure sounds like the Broncos have an impregnable defense.
-
Remember how Miami beat Denver last season 70-20? The Bills need to come out and do something like that! Actually, for this entire playoffs, I think Josh and the offense need to take control and make the Bills defense just a side note. Take the games out of the defense' hands.
-
Do you know, NFL power rankings after week 3 had Denver ranked 30th. That’s a helluva job by Payton, Nix and their D to turn things around.
-
The votes are in. It's over now and all the pundits opinions speaking on TV and social media means nothing. Josh is your MVP and hopefully he makes all the voters look good and has a great playoffs (defense too!)
-
Nix can be a bit of a gunslinger, there will be chances for INTs, or big plays for them. But there’s a reason Vegas has made Buffalo a 9 point favorite. That’s pretty large, and despite having a terrific season, Allen, Cook and the Oline should be able to move the ball well and Nix should not be able to have a career day here.
-
A friend of mine always harps on the fact Josh skips the pro bowl for golf, even when he's picked or as an alternate. He thinks this hurts Josh amongst his peers and the media hype stuff.

From The Buffalo News analysis on the Bills 3rd down defense. It's as bad and frustrating as we've all seen with our eyes. We all know they've masked this deficiency by getting takeaways and 4th down stops. Does anything get changed for the playoffs? "They rank 29th in the league in third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert 43.8% of opportunities into first downs. It’s the worst rate allowed in the eight-year Sean McDermott era. But on the 4-yard range between third-and-6 and third-and-9 – situations in which the defense should have a distinct advantage – the Bills’ defense stinks. The Bills are allowing opponents to convert 53.7% on third-and-6 to third-and-9 – worst in the NFL by far. The league average is 36.3%, and only three other teams are at 43% or worse. The Bills have allowed 29 of 54 plays to become first downs".

Nix can be a bit of a gunslinger, there will be chances for INTs, or big plays for them. Josh will have to beat the rush with his legs or the receivers will need to get quick separation. Denver will test the Bills, but gashing them with Cook should work too. Lots of interesting subplots to this game. Just hoping the Bills come out blazing and show Denver early that this will not be their day.

He's winning it. He's the guy this season.

I will say this. The Bills are a bunch of really good guys. But in the playoffs, it's kill or be killed. Like you said, we need some special performances like you see from the Super Bowl winners along their journeys. The Bills need to come out this year with attitude, not just that they're going to win, but to bully other large human beings on the field... especially at home. Cooper has to be a part of that.
