We don't match up well with most of the teams in the playoffs picture. I consider a poor matchup to be a team that wants to be physical and run the ball and can also pressure the QB.
hondo in seattle Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Back when the defense had the backbone of a wet sponge and the running game was a pale, lifeless corpse, I had little hope for a playoff run. But the defense is stiffening up. And the running game wasn't quite dead - just severely ill and maybe in recovery now. I won't say I'm optimistic but I am starting to fantasize about a fun January. 3

Hopefully any team we don't matchup with gets knocked out before we play them.
billieve420 Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Really everyone else is a dark horse with the Chiefs in the division. If the Bills can stop the run we match up well with the Ravens and I wouldn't be scared of them.
Greg S Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 27 minutes ago, Logic said: If the Bills win the AFC East and wind up as, say, the third seed....I don't know how you can call them a "Dark Horse". Typically, a "Dark Horse" would be someone NO ONE expects to win any playoff games. I'd look to one of the three Wild Card teams. Teams like the Dolphins, Colts, Browns. But hey, I'm just a fool on a message board. They probably are a dark horse for the Super Bowl as of now. All of the "experts" expect a PIT/KC AFC championship game. If the Bills can beat Pitt then maybe that will convince a lot of the naysayers. Although Pit will be playing their 3rd game in 11 days so the Bills probably won't get any credit for beating them as that will be the media's excuse. 2

We play the Steelers in a couple of weeks so that narrative might change, but as of now we are not viewed at that level. I don't know who i can see beating the chiefs when they're rolling. Raiders beat them with deep balls and timely pick that gave them the ball at the 2. So.. brown being healthy is super important for that one. Titans have a poor 3rd down defense. The blowout was largely attributed to turnovers and poor special teams. If roberts doesn't give them a short field on the first drive, or if allen doesn't throw a pick, 40 yard punt return. The roberts fumble in the end just lead to a larger margin of defeat but those 3 were key. Drives of 16, 30, 12, and 18 yards resulted in touchdowns. 76 yards got them 28 points. I think this team would LOVE a rematch. Pittsburgh - we'll find out in a few weeks. 1

Process Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 The bills are the 3rd best team in the conference. Unless you are taking the position that any team in the league other than the chiefs are a dark horse candidate, then it's ridiculous to call the bills that. That would be a fine position to take imo given how dominate they are, but I don't think that's what's going on here.

I think this team would LOVE a rematch. Agreed, but it was also just really poor timing. I think Tre White missed that game, plus Wallace was out, so we had Norman as our starting corner. Plus the Titans had been ragged on all week and had an "us against the world" mentality to really motivate them. And the uncertainty of whether or not the game would be played on top of that. I want to see a rematch of that game with more normal circumstances.
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 After listening to Romo's comments about Brady throughout the game on Sunday, I lost a lot of respect for his opinion. It was just weird. Now I find it hard to take him very seriously.

Technically we are the 4th best team in the conference, since the Titans hold the tiebreaker against us. Your point is valid, though.
CLTbills Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Why would the Bills be considered a "dark horse"? 1

John Brown was out. Players who played were banged up too in Ford, Edmunds, and Norman (came off IR and immediately started).

Any given Sunday but I'm pretty confident Bills would lose that game again. That is your opinion. We've grown accustom to it. ** That game had the Titans on 2 weeks rest for Covid, the Bills FO trying to work a game plan for both Tenny and KC and Josh fresh off the shoulder injury from the Raiders game. The Defense is playing better and Josh isn't hindered with an injury and a shoulder brace and we have a semblance of a run game. I am pretty confident Bills would WIN another game. Josh Allen or Ryan Tannelhill (who I like) .... there is not a choice here. Josh Allen all day long. The Bills with a BYE the Titans with a BYE 6 weeks ago. You can make it 11 weeks come playoff time. Edited December 1, 2020 by SlimShady'sSpaceForce
