Very rarely though. Most of the teams that win the divisional round are the favorites for the SuperBowl from their conference. The Wildcard round may throw up a few surprises as the not-so-hot division winners get taken out... Can the Chargers beat the bumbling-and-fumbling Texans in the Wild card...absolutely. However, do the Chargers have a good chance to beat the Chiefs - more than unlikely. The odds are against them.

This year looks different. Agreed it is the regular season. But the way the team is playing looks more like the AFC Divisional game against the Chiefs three seasons ago. Does it have problems...100%....but is it ready....Absolutely. The beauty of the playoff, especially the divisional round, is that the games are played by the best teams through the season. The "any-given-sunday" goes out the window. Truly the best teams move on to the next stage. Go Bills !!!

Carr would have been an upgrade in the sense that he would be been a better team mate and got better results from Wilson and Hall. Rodgers selfish instinct showed even on that first drive on the final 3rd down incomplete pass. He kept staring at the receiver and throwing expletives at him. Darnold has a real OL in front of him at Minnesota. The Jets historically have ignored building the OL or have not been successful with it. Any QB will get killed behind that weak OL

Agreed 1st step - making the playoffs (Jax, Houston) 2nd step - winning the division and getting a home playoff game. (Colts) 3rd step - Winning a wild card game (Colts) 4th step - getting past the Divisional round (Baltimore) 5th step - Winning the AFCC 6th step - Winning the Lombardi Hopefully, we can accomplish 5th and 6th in 2024-25 Go Bills !!!

This year would have been great for the fans at the stadium as we went 8-0...Not a single game where the fans are down after the game....It is truly a great time to be a Bills fan and to be at that stadium. My own experience of watching Bills game in other stadiums - I am 4-0 in all of them....lucky me...

I think the Dolphins are the weakest of the three teams in contention. The Bengals have a high powered offense that is on a historic pace and our defense will have difficulty with keeping them contained The Broncos have a top defense and are also experienced playing in the cold weather. They are also coached by a Super Bowl winning coach. The Dolphins are in a disarray with health question marks against Tua and Waddle - two of their top talent on the offense. Their defense has been average. Finally, they do not enjoy playing in the cold weather. Looking at all aspects, we should be rooting for the Dolphins to win and the Broncos to lose. This makes a huge assumption that KC believes that Burrow will go to Orchard Park and beat the Bills. You are a sad Bills fan !!! Go Bills !!! If Denver or Bengals make the playoffs, they have to first get past the Bills... I don't believe KC is going to assume that either of those two teams will go to Buffalo and beat the Bills... The Chiefs are going to be prepared for Baltimore to be coming to Orchard park first.

The difference is in the "scoring". This Bills offense is a scoring machine.

sounds about right. There are no other milestones (that deserves their playing time) to hit.

And this is the first post-season where he is available completely healthy. Hoping for a break out playoffs by Von. Go Bills !!!

The OPs point was not about ranking teams but showing that why Josh should be the MVP as he single handedly beat the top two teams in the league. Go Bills !!!

Why? I think Allen can play with backup OL and backup WRs.

The Bills will start Josh Allen, to keep his continuous start streak alive...I believe he has 113 straight starts. I believe they did the same a few years ago against the Jets...where he started and played the first series before giving way to the backup. Vrabel didn't accomplish anything in Nashville. $132M...that is mind boggling....That team is devoid of talent

100% agreed...and it shows up on the stats sheet where the RBs have dominated.

I don't think the week 18 is going to matter. Most of the people voting for the MVP have already made their mind based on their bias...A week 18 stat is not going to change their mind (and it shouldn't as they should look at the whole body of work).

Week 18 is going to be amazing...so many storylines... Baltimore and Pittsburgh playing for the 3rd seed Denver going into KC to get the #7 seed. Dolphins trying to beat the Jets and hoping for a miracle in mile high city Who is going to work hard to lose their final game...Giants or the Patriots with the Patriots controlling their destiny to land the top pick in the 2025 draft. And closing out the regular season on SNF where the Lions and Vikings will fight for the #1 seed or the #6 seed; somewhat similar to what the Bills and Dolphins went through last season in the final week. Exciting week 18 is on the cards. Go Bills !!!

Why is the owner at fault here..unless he pushed Rodgers on Saleh and Douglas.

The Patriots are also likely to tank so that they can keep the top pick in the draft.

I am sure the same argument will apply to the Bills OL. They have been amazing and extremely solid. They have opened massive holes for James Cook to have a career year and for Josh to sit in the pocket and pick the defense apart.

Of course everyone knows that...The point of a message board is for fans to share their opinions and discuss the good, bad, ugly of it. Otherwise, what is the point?

But would Pegula insist on him bringing a DC with a better scheme....Would Schwartz come here as DC ? I don't know if yesterday's defensive performance was because we played well or if the Jets offense sucked ?

Not in the playoffs though...We likely will be facing Lamar, Mahomes and Hurts or Jordan Love.

The Patriots also got a gift from the Giants...Now they control their own destiny to get the 1st overall pick. They can parlay that into multiple blue-chip picks for building their roster...I don't see the Patriots wanting to win this game and lose that windfall of draft picks.

@steelers will be a SNF or MNF game. It looks like the Bills will play one TNF, SNF and MNF at home... As usual CBS will not give up the Chiefs game...so the SNF or MNF will get Baltimore, Miami and/or Cincinnati. Also, game against Philadelphia is likely to be a Fox prime time game.

The short passing game is what has been working for Allen. I don't see Brady going away from it along with the running game. Don't try to fix something that is not broken. Go Bills !!!

I assume Buffalo ALSO gets the #2 seed if both Pittsburgh and Baltimore lose their final game (and we lose both games)
