Dr.Sack Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 The Bills don’t have Kelce, the run game, or a pass rush. Unless Singletary suddenly became Barry Sanders it’s doubtful, but any given Sunday. I think it would have been Bills 22 Bucs 20. Tyler Bass hits a 47 yarder as time expired. 1
Buffalo03 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I don't think anyone was beating the Buccs last night. It was a home game for them and I think that really worked to their advantage 1
PrimeTime101 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 our O'Line would have done better in pass protect. Josh is the better runner of the 2 and would of worked against the bucks BUT With a one dimensional offense and that defense is complete.. we would have lost.. they would have out gunned us
WhoTom Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 By halftime, I was glad the Bills lost two weeks ago. If not, yesterday would have been an even bigger bloodbath. 1
TheFunPolice Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 No, and the more I think of it the more I'm glad we saw the game we did. Mostly it has to do with Allen. If we had been there and the exact game happened everyone would have been piling on Allen. "sugar rush" is back! Told you! He melted down, etc. We just saw the half a billion dollar man look like rookie Josh Allen trying to throw to no names at WR while he runs for his life. Actually, I think Allen would have done a little better because he's had to do that more, but still. Mahomes looked like rookie Allen last night. Sugar Rush Pat should be a thing now, IMO. So the game served a great purpose, and it knocked the Chiefs down a peg. So much for the dynasty. 1
blacklabel Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Looking at the comments in this thread you'd think the Bills just finished 2-14. How quickly the tune changes.
billsherd Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 No I don't think so Allen would have been running for his life all game. No running game so it would be even worse.

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 These hypotheticals are insane. But based on the fact that the Bics dominated the team that beat us pretty good, it’s not likely but every game is different. I don’t think anyone thought TB would dominate like that.
TheFunPolice Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Chiefs are a finesse team of trash talkers and front runners. They are like a more cocky version of the old Manning Colts teams.
Success Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I wouldn't want to face the Bucs if we get there next year. A lot can change from season to season, but at this point, it's simply not fair: when you have a player at the most important position in football who has been to TEN Super Bowls - half of the years of his career - it's a completely lopsided advantage. You just can't match that with anything else.

You just can't match that with anything else. Playing against Brady in a single-elimination game gets into guys' heads. It's one thing to play him in October, where you're guaranteed a game next week no matter what. the aura is there, but not the same way. But when it's the playoffs or Super Bowl, it is very very hard to beat his teams, because they will not beat themselves. 1
auburnbillsbacker Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I thought the Bucs looked extremely beatable during their first 3 playoff games but really good during the Super Bowl. Taking into account the larger sample size I think Buffalo would have won. They were the better team most weeks.
T master Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Not with that D ... That's the way the Bills should have played the WR's last week get in their face and don't give them a free release great defensive design !! Edited February 8, 2021 by T master
Nitro Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 No. The Bills Offensive live is average. The Tampa Bay pass rush would have had a field day against it. The Bills defense would have kept them in the game. Bills know how to defense Brady. Not that it helped but they knew how to play against him in the past.
dakrider Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 KC kept making mistakes in this game. Defensive penalties, including the one on the punt were huge. Coaching mistakes like calling those timeouts at end of first half when Bucs had the ball as well as not able to adapt their offense. I don't think Bills would have won but they might have matched up a little better.
billsfan89 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 It would have been a closer game but I am too sure if the Bills would have won. I think Brady would have eaten this defenses lunch. Which means Josh would have had to put up 30ish to win and against a good defense that might have been hard. Overall though the Fisher injury sealed KC's fate and that's unfortunate because I think the game would have been much more competitive had they at least had Fisher.
Pokebball Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 13 hours ago, QB Bills said: Didn't see it posted, but I'm guessing a lot of fans are wondering. My thoughts even before the AFC championship game were that KC was a awful matchup for the Bills and that if they had gotten by them, they would have beaten Tampa. After watching what the Bucs did to the Chiefs on both sides of the line, and comparing what those same Chiefs did to Buffalo's O and D lines, I'm not so sure now. What really sucked was these refs today calling all the clear holding penalties the Chiefs were also committing against us two weeks ago. Ahh, numerous times yesterday I was saying out loud, "why didn't the officials call that two weeks ago"? I don't think the Bills would have beat the the Bucs, but I think we might have beaten KC if the officials called the same game that they did yesterday.
BornAgainBillsFan Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 It depends. Which version of our coaches are showing up to that game? The aggressive "pedal to the metal" boys, or the shell-shocked "let's wait and see" crowd. If it's the former, we have a chance against anybody. In Big Boy football, you make your own breaks. 1
LeviF Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Doubtful. The way you beat the Chiefs is similar to the way you beat the Bills and the Bucs were built to do it. 1
