I know that doesn't mean a whole lot as each game is independent, LAC are a little healthier now, but that may also have been JAX best game of the year. It will also be Herbert AND Lawerence's playoff debut. Don't know if one or the other has jitters. It's not a forgone conclusion that the Chargers advance. May well be JAX.

quincy Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Looking at the flow charts I would like the route going NE loss - MIA loss - PIT loss and then circling back that NE becomes the 7th seed. I am wary of PIT, it will be a super emotional game should it happen with the links to Damar, Tomlin etc - can be both and advantage and a detriment. I get the feeling that NE will be easier to deal with, then MIA and then PIT. Whoever Buffalo faces I will be confident, NE again in 7 days seems like the most appealing route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Best case outcomes for the Bills today: Bills Win of course Jets beat Phins, Ravens beat Cinci Chargers beat Denver Seeding then are we get Steelers or Pats and Cinci now gets Chargers, which is our easiest draw and Cinci’s toughest draw. Too bad Lamar is out. Edited January 8, 2023 by Locomark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy is almost exactly halfway between KC and Buffalo. Once tickets are on sale- Bills Mafia will be scooping them up. Sure KC will. But my $ is always on Bills Mafia! I saw something in which Indianapolis has already turned down the opportunity to host the AFC Championship Game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play well and the Bills are already Super Bowl Champs! Unless we play the Chiefs. The league (via the owners' vote) appear to want KC in the Super Bowl. Why else would they give them a first-round bye on a silver platter as they did? As the Bengals coach pointed out, the rule for canceled games was already in place. The league contorted itself to benefit KC, throwing the Bills and Bengals a bone with the neutral-site concession. I don't understand why people aren't more upset. The bye is what is important, not the homefield advantage. The bias is unmistakable. If I'm missing something, please enlighten me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have three games to be played before neutral site comes into play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Out of that group, Miami is the only team I don't want to play. I fully expect to beat them, but I don't like the idea of playing any team a third time -- those games are often weird. The other potential matchups are as easy as we could hope for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think our DB’s can deal with their WR’s, even with zone dropping 7 DBs shmeebees. Haven't you seen all the threads to our secret weapon that takes away throws just by being tall that we need to overpay just for that scenario? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand your thought here- if the league didn't "contort" itself KC would have the bye and the home field throughout the playoffs. The change to KC is now if they have to meet the Bills it will be on a neutral field. Cincy was complaining and didn't want the "contortion" because without the change Cincy would already be the Division winner and have home field advantage.

I didn't see that KC's win percentage with the extra victory and same number of defeats would be better than the Bills' win percentage. Apologies for not thinking this through myself and thanks for explaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a neutral site game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did that KC still would have the one seed. Only now, Buff would play KC in Arrowhead. The rule change benefited the Bills. There was no completely fair outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should have just done the only real fair solution and resumed the game at some point either this weekend of next. But as the NFL does, money comes first.

Bills fan since 87 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 1 hour ago, Zerovoltz said: The Steelers are 7-2 this season when they have TJ Watt playing. They still should be an "easy" out but maybe not as easy as some might think. Im not saying we'd beat them 38-3 like earlier in the year but id still expect to win by a couple scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
