Meh. You can quote this post if I'm wrong but I don't see it with them. They had a very lucky postseason run.

We got alot more sacks than people realize

When did they get the sacks is the question.

 

They failed to stop the Titans, Chiefs, Tampa, in the 4th quarter or overtime.

[die hard bills fan]

No. We are building a team others have to beat.

[Clyde Smith]

Bills vrs Everybody 

[Dkollidas]

I think it’s the style of team we want to beat. Dynamic QB with weapons and speed. 
 

Vegas just added DaVante Adams

LAC has Herbert with Williams & Allen

Denver added Russ to a great set of weapons 

KC still has Kelce & Hill

 

[Big Turk]

Honestly I think they are building a team everyone else is going to need to beat

Go Bills!!!

Chargers get my vote for most dangerous adversary next year. Could be wrong and thats fine, but even before FA, theyre a team on a major upswing.

Can't really consider it lucky when they looked like one of the most complete teams heading into the playoffs. They were built for a long playoff run. I remember a thread in like week 12 asking who we thought were the scariest teams for the Bills to face in the postseason and I voted for the Bengals and Packers. I think the Bengals will be there again.

With the rest of division making moves to upgrade and  the QBs now in the AFCW, they might have a hard time just winning they're division. 

Denver bringing in Wilson 

Chargers adding a ton of talent 

The Raiders are the surprise to me in the recent moves they made so far. 

To me, all of a sudden, the Chiefs might not be the target for us next season.

Thoughts?

I looked but couldn't find a thread on this topic. Feel free to merge if there is one.

 

 

McD/Beane always build this team to win the division first. Then to beat the great QBs in the playoffs. It's never been specifically the Chiefs, but they happened to be that team the past few years.

True. There were a few games where where it was like a buffet. I think they had 7 sack game and a 9 sack game. But there were also games where the rush was non existent. I want QBs running for their lives every game. 

There are 31 other teams who also want that

And that was mainly because we faced the least amount of pass attempts in the league. We finished 6th in sacks on a per dropback basis.

Still being built to beat the Chiefs, but it also applies to just about any of the other likely suspects, all of whom are going to have 'high powered' QBs.

 

Also, I think there is definitely an emphasis on being better against the run, as that was where we let ourselves down on the season. Biggest difficulties we had, were with teams who were serious about running the football.

Agree. I thought they were very easilY the 3rd best team in the AFC. And an argument could be made for 4th best.

Yeah obviously.

 

Not all 31 other teams have a top flight pass rusher. What is your point?

[KGun12TD]

NO!!! We're building to beat the NFC Champions.

[BBills88]

We are building our team to win the AFC for the next 20 years.

To be fair, 75% of those were against Jacoby Brissett.

The Bengals are funny bc if you’re their GM/HC are you going to make shorter term moves because you think you could repeat that run or longer term moves because you think it was flukey. Tough spot to be in.

[TheBrownBear]

The obvious answer = everyone.

 

And yes, while the Chiefs are the team who eliminated us the past two seasons, we had plenty of talent/firepower to dispatch them in 2021.  Let's not forget that we outscored them by 21 points over 119:47 of game time in Arrowhead last season, and were on the cusp of basically claiming Arrowhead as our own turf before the unmentionable occurred.
