It's going to be Denver and we should all be very satisfied with that outcome.

 

I'm thrilled that the deck is stacked against Cincinnati. Doesn't really matter to me if it's the Broncos or the Dolphins. But I want nothing to do with the Bengals. They've gotten too hot and the Burrow to Higgins and Chase connection has looked terrifying. Thankfully, they fumbled the ball so hard earlier in the year that they're in this position.

 

The Broncos have to lose to the Chiefs Backups - I favor the Broncos

The Dolphins have to lose to the hapless Jets - I favor the Dolphins even with Huntley

The Bengals have to beat the Steelers who aren't sitting their starters - tough game for the Bengals

So assuming Denver Loses to KC should Bills fans be cheering for the Dolphins to beat the Jets?

Yes, I think Broncos or Phins are nearly a toss up from a Bills perspective but definitely not Bengals!

Yes, cheer for the Broncos to beat the Chiefs. If that doesn't happen, hope the Dolphins have beaten the Jets (both games are at 4:25). If the Broncos lose to the Chiefs and the Dolphins lose to the Jets - cheer for the Steelers to beat the Bengals in the Sunday Night game. Even if the Broncos lose and the Dolphins lose, the Bengals still have to win. If the Dolphins and the Bengals lose, the Broncos still get in even with a loss.

True, but Tua may not play, which makes it a bit of a toss up.

I know youre not referencing WC weekend vs Buff.... but I just had a thought, that im not sure Id sign up for, but heres my thought.  If we draw MIA, I dont think it does us any good getting whatever dead Fish is their backup.  Part of me thinks a tough first rd team, might just be what the doctor ordered for a long term playoff run.... think: if youre trying to bench 500lbs for the first time, do you want to warm up with the bar only, and then try 500 next rep (omg its heavvvviiii)... or you slap one plate on each side, hit 135 once.... then 225..... 315 and then its go time.

 

I get the idea of wanting to be as fresh as possible walking into a tougher rd 2 or rd 3 game.  maybe though, we need to struggle, stretch the legs up, build some confidence going into rd 2

Agree. I think there is something to a tough battle to get our playoff legs.
 

for example, not a coincidence that we played our best game against the Lions the week after that very tough Rams game.

Who do I want in round 1?

 

We desperately need a wrecking ball or two on the D-line. On the other hand you can never have enough good pass rushers and with a QB like Josh, I'd also be on board with a high-ceiling wide receiver.

 

It really depends on who's available when we pick.

Yup, been saying all week there is no way they are letting Cincinnati even have a sniff of a possibility. They will gladly play a weak team in the divisional and then worry about Buffalo or Baltimore in the Championship game.

I don't care who we get round 1.........if we can't beat whoever in round 1 with the 2nd seed, then we don't deserve round 2.

 

Simple as that

Thank you. Thats my point

Yeah there's no way KC allows Burrow in. It just makes little sense to 

Maybe. Or maybe they figure they like their chances against Bengals than Ravens or Bills and know the Bengals are capable of beating either

Well, I suspect you probably have decent insight into the KC fan base. Or the Giants. Certainly not the Bills.

 

The Chiefs have a bye week. The next best thing is for the #2 seed to have a relative cream puff. No team has their chances of success increased by facing the maximum most difficult gauntlet.

I'm actually curious if KC would have went all out and played their starters if they were still undefeated and tried to get that record. I'm thinking they would since they have the bye anyways.

I may be in the minority, but I want nothing to do with Miami either. (That is if Tua plays)

 

It is hard to beat a team 3 times in the same season, and last time the dolphins played the Bills, they really should have won as they outplayed them in pretty much every stat.
