Who do you want in round 1?

[Kirby Jackson]

This isn’t a question as to who you think it will be. It’s a question of who you want it to be. 

[Captain Hindsight]

Anybody but the bengals 

[boyst]

Who do we want or who do we expect?

I want the dolphins to beat them again.

 

We all expect the Broncos.

 

We say we don't want to Bengals but it's the Chargers we don't want - but thankfully can't face in the first round.

Dolphins

Broncos

Denver. Rookie QB on the road in that environment. Good luck to Denver with that.

The Fish are an interesting matchup only because they know us so well and they have skill players (Achane, Hill, Jonnu) who could give us problems…but we are also so much in their heads it’s funny, and Josh owns them.  I wouldn’t fear this game.

 

The Broncos are a tough team but after watching them a little bit the past couple of weeks they just don’t scare me.

 

I’ve said previously I want no part of the Bengals.  We’d have to win a shootout and while that’s certainly possible with Josh, the nervousness level would be very, very high.

 

I think I “want” the Broncos, based almost solely on the rookie QB factor in his first playoff game.

I want Denver. I think it will be Denver. But Miami are still in this thing.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Give me Miami.  They’re a known commodity in cold conditions.

I’m sick of hearing about the freaking Bengals. Give me them so we can pound them into submission otherwise, if the Bengals don’t make it and we win the Super Bowl, you’ll hear posters saying how lucky we were we didn’t face them.

Burrow and that offense would be a pain in the ass to play especially with how the Bills defense plays in the playoffs. But Allen, Cook and the rest of the offense would have a field day against the Bengals garbage defense. The game would probably end up like a college basketball score. Something like 63-57.

I prefer the Broncos. They have a tough defense but there isn't a defense I dont think Josh can't pick apart. Rookie QB on the road I dont expect to do much damage against our D. Miami knows us well and would love to play spoiler. We know them well and have shut them down but they have also given us fits. Bengals their offense is probably the most explosive of the bunch and I just don't know if we can get a stop. Josh may pick them apart too but it leaves no room for error. We are already going to have our hands full if and when we play the Ravens in round two. Id rather not play 3 high power offenses in a row.

Always want Miami. Always. If they could play Miami every week I'd take it. 

[MJS]

I don't understand the Miami fear. Haven't we shown consistently that we know how to beat them, usually by a lot?

Yeah I like Nix, but I think Denver overachieved this year

Which is exactly why I don't want that game. The Bills dont always win those games

[BillsPride12]

I think it will be Denver but would much prefer Miami.  Not that I think we would lose to Denver but I think with that Defense they will be a tougher out than a Miami team who we already know hates playing in cold weather.

I don't see the Bengals making it. Even if the Broncos lose to the Chiefs backups that would open the door for Miami. The Dolphins would just have to beat the Jets, and they would clinch the #7 seed. I don't see the Fins losing to the Jets. As yesterday has shown it looks like the Jets have quit on the season. The Bengals would need the Broncos and Dolphins to lose and then have to win their game at Pittsburgh to get in.

And such posters should be immediately and permanently banned from this site.

I would prefer Denver, but I am resigned to the fact that it will be Cincy. They aren’t losing. And Denver and Miami both seemed primed to choke.
