And having to play as bad weather for them as teams going to Miami in first half of season with them under sunshade. No not screwed at all - balanced. 2 Quote
Aussie Joe Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Root for the Bills to beat Pittsburgh first … 1 1 3 Quote
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Can we just focus on and hopefully beat Pittsburgh!!! 1 Quote
BullBuchanan Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Absolutely Miami. As hard as they play us, we have their number. KC has ours. Maybe this is the year we finally take KC out in the playoffs, but Miami should be the easier out for us. Quote
BigDingus Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I want the Chiefs visiting Buffalo. Get that monkey off our back. Allen won't be changing the "turnover machine" narrative any time soon, but he can change the narrative around losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs. It would also give Allen & the Bills a 4-3 head-to-head record against the Chiefs in the process. 1 Quote
Richard Noggin Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Gotta root for Chiefs so they FINALLY have to play a road playoff game in WNY (assuming Bills take care of Pitt as they should). If Dolphins win, the Bills would host either the Browns or the Texans, and I honestly don't love either matchup as much as the Chiefs on the road, finally. Those two teams are more dynamic than the Chiefs this season. More dangerous. Separately, as a season ticket holder, I'm bracing for Bills fans selling mucho tickets to Steelers fans, and then to a lesser extent doing so again the following week (Texans fans not so much, but Chiefs and Browns fans will absolutely be looking to show up). That Cowboys game featured more opposing fans than I've ever seen in OP in McD era (Bills shut them up quickly, thankfully), and I'm afraid Steelers fans travel even better. Bengals fans, for reference, were VERY noticeable in OP for last year's Wildcard round. Their chanting of "TEE!" after any/every play Higgins made was especially disconcerting. Bills fans are definitely open for business, and the home field advantage suffers greatly because of it. Quote

This game reminded me of a few others this year in which the Bills' offense handed the game over to the other team whilst also dominating them in time and yards. Jets, week 1, to start with. The bad teams usually won those - jets, pats, broncos; giants just couldn't take the offered win but came close. Anyhow, point is that we dominated Miami twice this year as well as several previous years. We also do well against the chiefs save for playoff games. Miami is a division rival which makes them more familiar with us and so dangerous. Either game would be in Buffalo. So, who will you be rooting for next Saturday? Maybe I’m alone but I never really got the impression that Miami was gonna win this one. That jets game we gave up 170+ rushing yards, denver won top by like 15 minutes, pats were in control all game until a late fumble and they actually outgained us by 10 yards. Tonight just felt like we were beating Miami’s a** and they were just lucky to be in it honestly it was pretty much the Skylar Thompson playoff game all over again with tua back there Edited January 8 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote

It’s a crapshoot either way but I’ve gotta go dolphins because a path to the afc championship of pit then Cleveland/Houston is just too good. Chiefs defense ain’t terribly far behind Cleveland and I’d much rather see Flacco than mahomes Quote

Abandoning the run was actually VITAL to winning IMHO (once Allen had settled down). There MUST be a way to help Allen be less geeked and amped and impatient early on. He needs a QB draw on the first play or something like that to ensure he gets the nerves hit right out of him. I've heard that he doesn't like to eat on gameday because he's prone to puking, and HECK if he doesn't seem like a dude whose blood sugar is not well managed when he's making bizarre mistakes out there. Adrenaline management is still an issue for him, which is bonkers. 2 Quote
GETTOTHE50 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I think the bills can beat the chiefs, but that game always takes a huge toll on both teams. they both leave it all out on the field when they play against each other, and they are normally gassed the following week. I’m not sure the winner of bills chiefs goes to the Super Bowl unless Cleveland can give the ravens all they can handle Quote

A couple people have said that so maybe it’s me lol but Allen looked like he was in control and not really forcing anything all night to me. Whoever you want to blame for the first int it wasn’t josh taking a crazy risk it was just a route mixup on somebody’s part. second int looked like he was pressing but it was 4th down so I’d kind of expect that. He seems to miss a lot of easy throws high when he’s too amped up and I don’t think we saw any of that really Quote

Or several completely ignored short/outlet routes (Kincaid in the left flat on that doomed 4th and short, for example)? We definitely saw "amped up" Allen early in the game, and it cost the Bills a bunch of points. Quote

I want the opportunity to pound on the Chiefs in our barn, win 4 out of the last 5 against them, exorcise our playoff demons, watch Nick Wright whine and put to bed this stupid narrative with KC once. And. For all. And show that we own. their. A$$ …but people want to play Miami a third time? We don’t play the winner of KC Miami unless it’s the Chiefs. Pretty unlikely that we’ll play Miami again this year… 1 2 Quote

Pretty unlikely that we’ll play Miami again this year… I figured. I just was really perplexed by the voting that had people wanting to play Miami again. Beat Miami twice and Beat the defending world champions twice, including knocking them out of the playoffs and beat Mahomes in his first ever playoff road game…yeah, give me that.

WickedGame Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Y’all realize we wouldn’t play Miami if they beat the Chiefs, right? The lowest remaining see plays the highest remaining seed, so the Bills would play the winner of the 4/5 if we beat the Steelers, while the #6 Dolphins would play the Ravens. I want the Chiefs. In Buffalo. Quote
