BBFS. go bills I think that's because we presume that this game will just end up being practice for the Chiefs offense against this defensive personnel/system. These 2 organizations will have played each other 9 times in 8 seasons since McD got here. They might as well be division opponents. And McD is 4-1 against Reid in the regular season but the McDefense gets speedboat in every playoff matchup. At this point........I'd hope that McD and Babich know they have to be able to make broad adjustments against the Chiefs in the playoffs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are so clean and haven’t been worn in a long time That would be cool, although they only seem to wear all-white when they go with the throwbacks. I'd like to see them wear a blue jersey instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted Tuesday at 05:38 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:38 AM If Allen has any shot of supplanting Lamar as the MVP favorite, the Bills NEED to win this week, and Allen NEEDS to play great. After last week's game, he's too far behind Lamar statistically & got blown out in the head to head. But to end the Chiefs' undefeated streak & beat them when the Ravens couldn't? That would carry a lot of weight. Obviously, winning a SB is the priority, but the chances of doing that while losing to the best 3 AFC teams you've played isn't very good. That being said, if we lose, the Bills will be in a very weird position. They'll still have the division locked up, yet have next to no chance of getting the 1 seed unless the Chiefs collapse. At that point, you don't have a ton to play for, so it might just be better to protect key players as much as possible while letting the injured ones heal up until playoff time.

The outcome of Sunday's game has almost no bearing on Buffalo's super bowl chances, win or lose. There will be nothing weird about their position in the event of a loss. 8-3 heading into the bye is a pretty good spot to be in. The narratives will of course be that Buffalo is a distant 3rd in the AFC after losing to Baltimore and KC but November narratives mean very little in January. Even with a win I don't think we are in a great spot for the 1 seed because KC's remaining schedule is much easier than ours. Beating KC in the regular season hasn't meant anything in January the past few years. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha2Buffalo Posted Tuesday at 06:54 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:54 AM (edited) If Coleman or Cooper are anything less then 100% rest em up. Anyone for that matter. Bye week and two Patriots matchups mean we probably win 10 regardless. Heal up Edited Tuesday at 06:55 AM by Kenosha2Buffalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Andy just "plays with his food" every time we face them in the regular season. Then when we meet in the playoffs we get the full Reid experience. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman's already ruled out. Kincaid is pry out. If Cooper can play without a cast I think he goes. You have the bye week to rest up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a fan, the outcome of this game will be frustrating either way. If they lose, KC owns them, etc. If they win, it's "Who cares? KC will win when it matters." Best attitude: Beat them now, ignore the noise, and beat them even worse in January. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted Tuesday at 11:55 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:55 AM Still a shot at the 1 seed and the buy. Hand the chiefs a loss and they still have chargers, raiders, texans steelers broncos coming up and we hope the drop a couple in there. It's a long shot but it's a shot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when we meet in the playoffs we get the full Reid experience. Maybe. We’re the last team that has a legit chance to beat them. Reid wants to join Shula so he’ll be full in. If we beat them with Coleman and Milano out, I like our chances in the chase for the trophy. Josh will have to throw for 300 because they won’t let Cook get 50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win and ok, awesome- Probably a step closer to the 2 seed as I still don't see the bills passing KC with the bills tough schedule and KCs easy schedule. Lose and nothing changes much. Still a very good chance to be the 2-3 seed Yeah. Not as hyped for this one as the usual Chiefs game. The AFC East is already locked up. So playoffs are not at risk, and we are pretty much guaranteed one of the Top 4 seeds. Even if the Bills win on Sunday, they will still be a game behind for the #1 seed. With upcoming games against the 49ers and Lions, it's not like we have any easy path to win-out either. We are probably looking at a 14-3 or 13-4 season at best... and unfortunately that probably isn't going to be enough to catch them. The Chiefs aren't playing great and don't have a cakewalk the rest of the way. But they are already 9-0. Getting the #2, 3 or 4 seeds is a toss-up at this point, because you don't know how they will matchup with the Wild Card opponents. Theoretically, the #2 seed could end up drawing the Bengals, while the #4 gets the Broncos. Homefield doesn't mean much to me either. January wind/cold can be just as much of a disadvantage to us. Not to mention... the Bills have beaten the Chiefs in the regular season three years in a row. But they are 0-3 against Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs. I would almost rather let our injured players heal and save our best gameplan for a potential postseason rematch.

SoCal Deek Posted Tuesday at 01:00 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:00 PM It ‘should be’ a fun game with lots of hype but I see little in the way of a ‘must win’ scenario here. I’m actually hoping this all sets up so that the Ravens play at, and knock off the Chiefs in the second round, meaning the Bills would host Baltimore in the championship game. So winning this game has little to do with that other than putting us up on Baltimore in the race for the Two Seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with almost everything said except I think their remaining schedule is about equal to ours, in terms of difficulty. I also think people are overrating the difficulty of our remaining schedule. SF is not what we thought they were. And I feel too many are giving LAR undue credit based on their past success. Yes the pedigree of some still scares me, but their records are their records at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
