I don’t think so. Anyway, it’s the NFL and the first round always has upsets. If you’re trying to compare the Saints current team / roster to the Bills you are way off base. They have a future HOF QB, studs all over the place and are absolutely in a “ win a championship now” mode and have been for a few seasons. Expand Any team that makes the playoffs can make a super bowl run in any given year so when someone says that when their team is in the playoffs is just plain stupid. The Saints just gave up two 40 yard TDs on defense. If that happens with us then we are "still a year away" or "this team is a joke" or something stupid.

TheFunPolice Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 TEN already beat KC I could see TEN beating KC and us beating HOU Refs determined to get NE that 1 seed
billsherd Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 If Steelers make it, it would be an easy W to whoever gets to play them.

A team still has to have the necessary ingredients to make that run, even if their regular season didn’t reflect it. Sometimes a team will just get hot in the playoffs and it carries them through. Thinking that every team in the playoffs has the same chance to win the championship is folly. Being realistic about what the Bills have and don’t have isn’t stupid. They’re in a rebuild and having success while covering up major flaws. That’s a result of good coaching , but they’ll need to take it to another level in the playoffs. You really can’t compare the Bills with a developing QB to a team with a future HOF QB that was in the NFC title game last season. You could , but some might call that “ plain stupid”. 1

This tends to happen every year. A team wins their division or gets in the playoffs with a few weeks to go and they play somewhat soft the next few weeks.

Matchups have something to do with it, though I agree the intensity can trail off when things are sewn up. No way the Ravens lose to the Steelers in week 17 though.
TheFunPolice Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) I want NE to have to beat both KC and BAL If they do that you just have to throw up your hands I'm really surprised by how much I hate the Browns this season Edited December 22, 2019 by TheFunPolice 1

It’s possible that the Bills could go on a run in the playoffs, but it’s unlikely. When you can only score 10 to 17 PPG against good teams, your margin for error is just too small. Everything has to go right, and that rarely happens, especially on the road against a good team. Edited December 22, 2019 by mannc
RaoulDuke79 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 The PI challenge rule is absolutely worthless. Ravens got hosed. Not only wasntnit PI, but the ball was 3 yards out of bounds. 1

Expand We have a championship caliber defense that gives us a chance in every game. And I don't think every team has the same chance I just think people are severely underestimating our team. I honestly don't think us and the Saints are that far off. The Saints lost to a 5 win Falcons team when they were just 1-7 earlier in the year. Honestly, if the Saints were still playing with Bridgewater do you think they would still be that much better? Any team can do anything in the playoffs. I do think "ingredients" are important but I think you're only looking at it one way.
