BillsFan130 Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) The loss to the Titans... (I think it was around 3 yards they needed for the TD when Josh slipped on the 4th and 1) If the bills win that game, they are 11-5 and Titans would be 10-6. Bills would have had the same record as the chiefs at 11-5 but would have the tie breaker on them. Assuming the Bills beat the Jets next week, they were just a few yards away from being the 1 seed. Crazy to think as it doesn't feel like it and it just shows how tight the AFC is. Can't wait for the playoffs though and let's hope the bills can lock up the division next week Edited January 3, 2022 by BillsFan130 11 3 1 Quote
SCBills Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I think a lot of us knew that might be the difference the minute that game ended. Now we just have to overcome it. 8 4 Quote

QB Bills Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) As counter intuitive as it sounds, I'd rather this iteration of the Bills play the Titans on the road than at home in late January. Edited January 3, 2022 by QB Bills 2 6 Quote

For Me I think the bye is huge this year though. Just cause the AFC is so deep and facing a 5 or 6 seed which will probably be Colts or pats will be a big challenge. Quote

Our defense can scheme against the Pats, but I don't think they've shown the ability to stop a top tier RB like Taylor. I hope I'm wrong. Playoffs are all about match ups. As long as we're there we have a shot. 1 Quote
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 That would be terrible… I’ve understood this team can’t win in the element in Buffalo 2 Quote

For me the teams I think would give the bills the most trouble: 1. Chiefs 2. Colts 3. Titans Quote

I actually don’t mind rematches with this coaching staff. I’d be shocked if Indy did what they did to us that day, again… also factor in the most ill timed fumble ever known to man. Does that mean I want a rematch… probably not… but I’d still expect us to beat them if we play them again. I’d expect a much better performance from our Defense and then it comes down to Josh Allen >>> Carson Wentz. Edited January 3, 2022 by SCBills 1 Quote

I hope I'm wrong. Playoffs are all about match ups. As long as we're there we have a shot. I think having a healthy Star, an active Klein, and resurging Oliver and Phillips will help. I agree we are suspect against top tier running backs but I think that loss can be more directly attributed to the 4 turnovers vs 0 takeaways. Quote
