Pittsburgh coukd be thinking if we go for it and beat the browns we coukd have to play them the next week. Miami wins they are at AFC south 5 v 4 Home field does matter in the sense with all the COVID protocols, traveling is an hassle and I am sure there is internal fear in the players on staying in unfamiliar hotels.
OZBILLS Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Play Allen. Get 30 points ahead and throw Fromm in

Respectfully disagree. We win and get 2nd seed is not about the fans. It’s ensuring we okay weaker opponents than the Chiefs. We are second and get the 7th seed. Then in the second round, we get the second worst team as the Chiefs will get the worst seeded. Then we are ina rhythm, going to KC. The fans is not the issue. Besides, if Cuomo the way he is posturing for the rapid testing before entry will allow maybe 6000 fans or more, but he wants it for political reasons. I won’t be there, but my friends would love to go, and for younger persons who’ve never been to a Bills home playoff game, it’s amazing however many fans are there. Buffalo deserves it. I agree homefield throughout the season is a non issue which is why Vegas is only giving 1.5 pts for homefield vs. the traditional 3.

I agree homefield throughout the season is a non issue which is why Vegas is only giving 1.5 pts for homefield vs. the traditional 3. My comment was NOT about the fans. It was about the difference for Players for playing at home rather than playing on the road - where the travel to the destination and the stay in unfamiliar hotel (for the Players) can play on their psyche.
machine gun kelly Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Fair enough Ganesh. These guys are used to travel. I mentioned it’s about being home until we face the Chiefs, and by some good fortune they lose in the divisional round, we play at home all the way through to the SB. No NFC team scares me at all. The Saints, Packers, and Bucs all have flaws. Of these three, the most balanced is really the Bucs. They have a better defense then the other two. It’s a ways away so we can cross that later. I’ve said before, this AFCC game if us and them, will be our SB. It will also probably have the highest ratings of all time for an AFCC game.
mannc Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Isn’t there some inherent value and joy in knocking the fish out of the playoffs?
SCBills Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 The way we played last night, I highly doubt Allen - and anyone of significance - is playing against Miami. They clearly wanted Allen to get the TD record. They were throwing to Beasley with Matt Barkley to try and get him 1,000. Anything is possible, but I’d be surprised if Allen, Diggs etc played. I could see Brown playing to shake some rust off in game speed. Just now, mannc said: Isn’t there some inherent value and joy in knocking the fish out of the playoffs? As someone in his 30’s... I really don’t care about the Dolphins like that, and I doubt the team does either. I absolutely get the older fans hatred of them, but I have no problem giving Miami a lay-up victory on Sunday.

And you have to respect the way they’ve rebuilt, even after missing on Tua.
Steptide Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Really don't want starters next week. Miami is in a must win situation and really don't want them injuring any players
Beast Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) The Bills have played two cupcakes in a row. Getting the 2 seed, IMO, is a big step as well as it will be playoff style football against the Fish. The Bills could use a game like that before the playoffs actually start. Play this game to win it. End of story. Edited December 29, 2020 by Beast 2

You don't see how ridiculous that is? no it’s not ridiculous you say it’s empty I say we don’t know yet it could be 7000 first responders for all we know. 1
whatdrought Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 I know about injury risk and all that, but that’s not something you can control. What can be controlled is momentum. I saw we keep it rolling and we show Miami that they’re the little brother. 1

Buffalo could face Them in WC game. going out to beat the same team in week 17 then the next week is not what you want to do. with no fans...home field means nothing. You must be intentionally ignoring all of the posts about having home field advantage even without fans/bye week. It has been said so many times it’s almost comical. There’s so much more than just those things-you don’t have to travel, you know the stadium much better than the visiting team, not sleeping in a hotel, just to name a few. Are you really that nervous about playing the dolphins?! Not only do I want the Bills to play the dolphins 3 times, with the way Josh has owned the dolphins so far I want him to play them 10 times! Their defense doesn’t scare me (look at their stats, they aren’t as good as people make them out to be), Tua might be good some day, he is absolutely nothing right now...do you show them everything next week? No, definitely not...but they shouldn’t be playing scared like you’re suggesting

The hotels would have very high clean standards. The team would be on their own floors. They take chartered flights...
jrober38 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 He gets at least a half to break Bledsoe's single season passing yards record. After that you can sit him down in the second half and let Barkley ruin the Dolphins playoff hopes.

People don’t seem to understand playoff seeding. Beating Miami does not eliminate thrm. Right now the rank order of teams are for WC Miami baltimore cincinati indianapolis. if buffalo beats Miami and another of those teams lose, Miami gets in. A buffalo win means buffalo could be playing Miami again.
