SinatraSinger Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Or does it mean nothing at all? Are Sean McDermott's teams really coached to where it is one game at a time? I'm just curious as to what others think. Thanks SS PS: My apologies to the moderators if this has been discussed else where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only makes sense before the game. After the game it will all be in hindsight which is useless. If you were one of the players would playing for home field next week mean added pressure or more incentive? Simple question. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There's plenty of incentive just to win. Home field is just a plus. Great for the fans though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think the "Perfect Game" or "Saturday Night Massacre" against New England changed how I think about home games, in that Josh Allen did not seem excessively nervous. On the contrary, he was ultra-dialed in and pumped up--super focused--as was almost the entire team, and they delivered a team performance for the ages. If they can get up to that level of focus again, home field will be to our advantage I think. How much it impacts the game is not NEARLY as much as fans would like to believe though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it matters at all. I don't even think last week mattered to them outside knowing they needed to do what they did last week to get to KC.

Scott7975 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 It adds incentive. The pressure to win is the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think the incentive is they wanna prove their the best team in the NFL my big worry honestly is we beat the Chiefs and then lay an egg against the Bengals after we all think we’ve done it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evian Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I don't think players think past one week, especially in the playoffs. I think they rather play home next week but home field means very little to players, as we saw yesterday. In fact sometimes there are too many distractions playing home.

Brand J Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The team is aware what’s at stake, but I don’t think it changes focus, or adds anything extra. Whether the game was in Nashville next week, or Buffalo, they’d go out in the same way to try to beat the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks SS PS: My apologies to the moderators if this has been discussed else where. Pressure on you or on the team LOL I think the more pressure will be if the Rams beat the Goat in the early game. The pressure for the visiting teams to sweep this weekend will become unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinatraSinger Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Maybe my problem is that I look at things as what I am and that's an amateur competitor. Little things like that can play havic with my mind. I've seen many friends while competing when adding additonal pressure will just crack under it. We may be able to say that about Tannehill and Rogers yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a year of being a Super Bowl contender and taking everybody's best shot. An AFC championship loss. Two straight playoff losses. We are dealing more with a team who understands how hard it is to get to the Super Bowl and is no longer content in just making the playoffs. I hope no more lessons need to be learned. It doesn't appear like it right now. Josh was so cold blooded last week after that stunning performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
