If we get to the SB...any fear of Tampa Bay?

[Success]

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are (and I'm a fan, so I don't have to take it one game at a time).

 

I do think the Bills have the best team in the AFC.  The playoffs can always hinge on a few bounces of the ball, but I really like our chances to get to the big game this year.

 

Maybe it's PTSD from 20 years of Brady, but the idea of him waiting there for us is kind of like "the sound of inevitability" from the Matrix or something.  Just this thing that won't go away, that we can't avoid and that seems to have some weird paranormal edge over Buffalo.  But well beyond that is a team that - when healthy - has units that are almost at an all-pro level in terms of personnel.  The defense can be fierce, and the offense has more weapons than any team in the league. 

 

They made KC look like amateurs last year (granted, the injuries to the O-line really hurt KC in that game).

 

It would be a great challenge, but personally, I'll be rooting for any other team in the NFC once the playoffs start.  Am I overplaying it?

There would be some fear for sure. Imagine us beating Brady in the Super Bowl and watching him pout on the sideline. That would be epic.

Ask me after December 12th

They're a good tough team, I mean I believe we can beat them I don't see them as better than this team. I mean we get to that game and I'd just hope for the best but not be too pessimistic about the team if it doesn't work out.

I can't relate to this kind of rational thought.

We will have a preview before the playoffs....

[Rc2catch]

I’d have a fear of whoever a possible Super Bowl opponent may be. You don’t get to the super bowl by luck alone 

[Patrick Duffy]

To tell the truth.....I always had that bad/worried/unconfident kinda of feeling that goes down to pit of my stomach each and every time we played against Brady all those years. So I'm sure if it plays out that way the PSD likely kicks in lol. But won't be as bad knowing it's not the same ol Bills now.

 

[WhoTom]

It's not a fear as much as a distaste. I prefer not to watch any game that Brady plays in, because I'm tired of listening to announcers riding his jock throughout the game. Put him in another Super Bowl and the effect is amplified.

Why do you think Tammy left NE?

 

he was scared of the JA17 sweep

I like Mcdermott’s scheme vs Brady.  There secondary is bad.  Good passing attacks moved the ball with ease on them.  Its a close game but not afraid.

Good call on that. He has defended Brady well in the past.

 

And like another poster said - it would be cool to beat Brady in the big one.  That would exorcise a few demons for me.

Why should the Bills fear the Bucs the Bills are just as good as the Buccaneers and the Bills can beat any team in the NFL

That would be something.  Honestly, I would probably want any other team.  Losing to 40+ Brady for a Superbowl would be terrible.  Winning it is just as sweet no matter who you beat.

I don’t want any part of Brady. 

[WideNine]

There is a chance that if it is Tampa, and we do make it to the big show, that Groot or someone on our DL actually breaks the 44 year old Brady before the game is done and Tampa falls apart in epic fashion.

 

Not wishing for injury, but when you are 44 the clock has ticked well past midnight for most humans on being able to play a physical sport against men in their 20's and early 30's.

 

I don't care what deal he has made with the devil, or how fast he gets rid of the ball...payment is past due.
