KC win puts Bills in better spot

I agree but let's not forget the Pats are not really a good football team. Very limited on offense and they "limped" into the playoffs. The opponents from here on out are much much better. With that said, the Bill's look really solid and will be hard to beat. 

The Bills built this team around beating KC. We have a legit chance to beat them. 

Of course we do!  But it's still going to be a real challenge and one heck of a dog fight.


Of course, I thought last night's game would be low scoring, close, and tight! 

 

So you NEVER KNOW!

 

If play in Arrowhead and end up manhandling the Chiefs...I'd flip out.

you can't hide from good teams in the playoffs, besides the old saying careful what you wish for.    besides if the bills are a good team (they are)  they can beat anyone if they play like they did last night...  just need 3 more games like that. 

 

It's almost impossible to imagine 4 games in a row at that level which was basically perfection. However, I believe that if the Bills stay focused, work hard on defense, and Josh keeps his head where it needs to be, they should be favored over any of the AFC teams. They have beaten KC and they lost to the Titans by a thin margin at a time when their defense was not playing as well as the last few games. An "A" game is needed to beat the playoff teams. Now - for the Super Bowl, they'd better bring the A+ game from last night.

every team left in the playoffs has lost to bad teams... lost games they shouldn't have....   and at this point I'm not willing to bet against our QB...

I wasn't really implying a game exactly like last night... just saying when they play Focused they can play with anyone.

Cincinnati is not there yet.  I’d take them at home vs going to KC 8 days a week

Agree!  KC is top 3 toughest places to play (Seattle, Orchard Park, KC).  I’m more co dude f playing any team on our turf.  The. Road was amazing last night!

FWIW (admittingly not much) the Steelers DID beat the Titans once this years already.

 

Cincy is rarely the same explosive offense in the road. I like them a LOT...but I would take them at home any day of the week.

 

KC in the other hand...MUCH improved on defense since earlier in the year. Arrowhead...HARD place to win. Not sure going in there and winning 2 in one season is what we went.

 

That said...the only team that can stop Buffalo right now is Buffalo. Injuries could also hamper...however this team and the way they have played since Tampa....wwll they looked Championship Caliber to me.

TItans struggle against any team with a pass rush.  Tannehill is not very good under pressure.

No Chris Jones last time, if I remember correctly.  
 

Loss of Tre White is clear, but our corners/scheme and All-Pro Safeties keep our pass coverage elite.  
 

I think some of the open downfield stuff yesterday was Buffalo crowding up against the run and betting Mac Jones couldn’t consistently beat them beyond 10-15 yards.   You just don’t typically see WR’s that wide open and/or beating guys like that.  
 

Bills DL is much better than earlier in the year.  Going to need them to play well no matter who we get: Mahomes or Burrow. 
 

 

Chris Jones really hurt us in that AFC championship game,  we may be able to overcome White being out but I did see plenty of Patriot receivers wide open yesterday and then just drop passes. I thought Jones had plenty of time to throw yesterday so that could also be a problem.  The good news is our team is better running the football more now then our win to start the season. I still would prefer Cincy at home over going to KC

We are now in the playoffs where teams with good to great QBs are in the party.  Every game will be difficult.  Thank god we also have one such QB.  Go Bills!

I agree about only teams with great QB'S are left and  Allen playing really good football.  I am still concerned about our defence on the road against KC

Since they moved to Nashville, the Bills have played the Titans 12 times.

 

7 times in Nashville including the forward lateral [I wuz there SMH].

 

5 times in the OP.

 

We are 4-8 in those games, 2-5 in Nashvegas, 2-3 in the OP.

 

I think the Bills should have shirts made up for this game that show: 1-3-93 (41-38 OT).

 

Just a thought.

I think after having 31 points hung on their defense at Arrowhead in October, the Chiefs may have similar concerns about their defense against us.

 

We just scored 47 on the #2 defense, and piled up 482 yards from scrimmage and never had to punt, against the Hoodie who is generally acknowledged to be the greatest defensive guru of the modern era.

 

Chiefs scored 20 on our defense, which scored 7 on Hyde's Int.

 Cincinnati @ Buffalo 🦬 yes please. We can go to KC & win. The Bengals at home would almost surely be a win. The Bills will be a 3 point underdog at KC. The Bills will be a 4 point favorite at home against Cincinnati, maybe more. So just by Vegas odds it’s better for Pittsburgh to beat KC tonight in my book

Besides, next year we likely have to adjust to a new OC and DC.

Butler and McDermott went to HS together.  After the season this secondary has put together, if Frazier leaves, we have the guy. Dorsey is the Josh whisperer.
