You already know you're likely never winning a Superbowl with him. Franchise and trade him in the off-season, IMO. Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with this. Quote

I also bet practice was spotty UNTIL they receiver the good news. Mind you I still expect them blow the doors off my Pats. 2 hours ago, Matt_In_NH said: One issue with this is I think then there is a good chance Patriots come back the next week. I don't see the Bill taking the foot off the gas at all for this game. For those that remember the greatest comeback. Same situation. The Oilers were in Buffalo to end the season, they had to win and get in, the Bills were banged up bad and played terrible, the Oilers smashed them. Then came back the next week and continued the butt kicking for another half and beginning of the third before the Bills woke up. I don't think you want to lose to the division rivals and have them have the perception you dont respect them and welcome them back the next week. Get the highest seed possible to get a second home game! I don’t see the Pats even if the Bills play a half.. our O down right stinks and our D is banged up in the secondary.. Quote
Loyal BF Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 The NFL had a very difficult reality in front of them. How to mitigate the inherent unfairness of two teams, very much Super Bowl contenders, with realistic chances (the Bills MUCH more than the Bengals) of earning the #1 seed, with the inability to actually do so with one less game played. There is no way to please everyone or to make this “fair” to all teams involved. And I am not criticizing what the NFL owners agreed to. They are doing their best with a no-win situation. I hope the Raiders do the AFC a favor and BEAT the Chiefs tomorrow. And then the Bills beat NE (like everyone knows they will) and get the #1 seed fair and square. KC getting the #1 seed is NOT “fair and square” and if they do, it will be clear that they did NOT “earn” it. They would have lost three games (same as the Bills) BUT...TWO of their losses are against the very teams that have had their chance to earn the same taken away by events that were unforeseen and unprecedented. Despite all the obstacles and extreme challenges the Buffalo Bills have had to overcome this year, I suspect that they are the team of destiny, and will make this a fairy tale ending and host the Lombardi on Feb 12. 1 2 Quote
Dillenger4 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 GO BILLS!! I can't wait to destroy the Patsies and that Mac noodle arm Jones cry baby. We ARE going to the SuperBowl! Niners vs Bills. Quote

Playing DEVILS ADVOCATE. That still sticks it to the Bengals because if they had beaten you on Monday night and KC loses on Saturday they would be the #1 seed. Like you said no good way to do it. IMO they should have just stuck with the rule already on the books instead of letting their emotions get involved.. 1 2 Quote

Agreed, but I do feel the Bengals got shafted in some regards. However, it still comes down to whoever plays the best, regardless of bye weeks, playing sites, coin flips, etc. I think the Bengals will use it as motivation and I just hope it’s not a Cincy-Bills AFC Championship game. Tough to see either one lose when pitted against each other after all that’s happened. Quote

The Pats have a top 5 defense, the GOAT coach, and they have played pretty much every team tough this year. Take away 2 bad plays (Raiders & Cincy), and a bad call (Minnesota), and they could easily be 11-5 right now. The Bills secondary is also pretty banged up. This game isn't a foregone conclusion. 1 1 2 Quote

Should it come down to Cinci and KC in the AFCCG I'll be rooting for the Chiefs. Quote

Didn't the Bills have two no punt games against the Pats defense. I get the "any given Sunday" scenario, but I would be shocked if the Bills lose. 1 Quote

I know what you're saying, but I remember the Pats beating the Jets 45-3, then meeting again in the playoffs and losing to them. We SHOULD win this game of course. But I'll never discount Belichick, or any given Sunday. 1 Quote

BillsSbSoon Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 The real kicker is friggin kc ending up the #1 seed once again. Andy Reid probably getting his cheeseburgers ready. Would rather hand over the one seed to cincy than have kc get it again. god brought demar back, maybe he can work another miracle tomorrow and the raiders get a win. Kc never covers the spread and I feel like it’s going to be close either way 4 Quote
