It’s even more important than it used to be, as the 2 seed was also awarded a first round bye in the past. An extra game matters at that point in the season. Fwiw, I don’t think the Bills have been talking about MVPs or the 1 seed. I’m sure they were focused on winning the game, but simply got beat at the point of attack. I’ll agree, I don’t think they will improve much in that regard throughout the season. They’re built to outscore teams with the passing game and to play with a lead. When that fails, the games become a toss up.

It sure was. It’s going to hurt come playoff time, I’m afraid. The AFCS winner is almost certainly going to be the Titans. The Bills are not the best team in football, that’s clear right now. I can see them having 5 losses and being the 3 or 4 seed.

They should be able too, but I’m not convinced. Look at the unprecedented actions taken to steal the election from Trump. Millions of unverifiable paper ballots, unprecedented in our history. Somehow going to the grocery store or Wal Mart was deemed “ safe” but in person voting - a stronghold of American Democracy - was life threatening. In short, too many Americans may simply be too dumb to get this numbskull Biden and his minions in the Democrat Party out of office. Look at the support he gets in this forum. Absolutely mind boggling.

ESPN probably thinks she should just become a trans - manwhatever. Lefties have tweeted that they can get pregnant too, with none of that other stuff that plain old women have to go through.

The Raiders were legendary partiers before Superbowls and they won plenty of ‘em . Doesn’t matter much if at all. Compared to Cheffers, Boger et al, Blakeman and crew aren’t half bad.

That weather delay got great ratings, actually.

Exactly. I wouldn’t say the Bills don’t control their own destiny because they have an AFC loss. A bit early to think of it in such terms with 12 games to go. I don’t think the Bills and Bolts will both win out at this point.

Not obsolete, but were never perfect to begin with. Just a way of measuring performance. The only stat that matters is wins, especially when the time comes to award the Lombardi. I want my teams QB holding that trophy up, not finishing first in some QB stat.

Nope. 90’s Cowboys had that philosophy

For those who insist on government mandates , I’d propose that a vaccine mandate be issued for those who are at high risk for Covid complications : ie Obese, diabetic , cardio issues etc. Mandate the vaccine and a stringent diet/ exercise program for them. No mitigation requirements for anyone else.

I’d still rather be playing this game at home with fans, regardless of recent stats.

In my experience accuweather is pretty consistently the most “ optimistic” of forecasts. Weather underground is usually the most accurate.

Clearly Joe Biden is personally responsible.

Very. Also, we can ALWAYS afford a tax cut. Less government confiscation of people’s money is a good thing. Less spending is what needs to be the focus. Calling a 3.5 Trillion sham” infrastructure “ bill paid for is complete nonsense, when the government borrows half of each dollar it spends to begin with.

Problem is the game is played by humans, not automatons. The Chiefs to date have been Josh Allen’s kryptonite. The defense has to do a better job vs KCs offense for sure, but mostly this game will be about Allen. Will he be unstoppable force Super Josh, or the unsettled hyper- skittish Mr Hyde alter-ego ?

The Bills should take a page or two out of the Bucs SB game plan. Their secondary seemed to subscribe to the SEA mantra that they’re not going to throw a flag every play , so get physical with the KC receivers. Bills AFCCG was way too passive, and they got burned because of it. Bills coaches need to be superior in this one.

Will the Bills O-line finally play a complete game vs the Chiefs? That will go a long way towards a win.

Chargers look to be legit, and have a win over KC. Herbert is impressive, though I like Allen a bit better. That AFCW isn’t going to be a cakewalk for the Chiefs this year.

Maybe , maybe not. Other teams have managed to beat the Chiefs already. That could happen later in the season or even in the playoffs. The Bills could win their division and never face KC in the playoffs. Only one number 1 seed made the Super Bowl last year. Some teams just match up better with certain teams and not so well with others.

So only those who hold one opinion can get “ very vocal “ on social media , while those who disagree should be ready for a response? Sorry, but that’s BS. Beasley is a good player on the Bills. Shouldn’t be getting booed by knuckleheads.

You definitely can’t expect that, but the Bills will need a takeaway or two if they want to leave Arrowhead with a win.

The Chargers D did a pretty good job. The Bills defense needs a performance similar to that or they don’t win. Plain and simple.

The Bills were hobbled in the AFC title game, but the coaching was their worst of the season. All that aside, they’re fairly healthy now by comparison. We can’t say it won’t mean anything if they don’t beat the Chiefs as KC has already fallen to the Ravens and Chargers. It’s far from guaranteed that the Bills would face KC if they can reach another AFCCG. They certainly need a more aggressive gameplan from McD and Company. Dusting off last year’s gameplans not an option here. Anything less than Daboll and Frazier’s best will get them beat.

After the first four games, I’d still have to go with the Chiefs here. It’s matchup football and the Chiefs can exploit more of those. I don’t see any matchup advantage the Bills defense has when they’re on the filed. So it comes down to Josh and the offense to put up TDs early and often. Even after 3 weeks of 35+, they still just don’t seem to be firing on all cylinders. Chiefs win by 10. Get a split in KC/ TEN games and the Bills will still be in very good shape. If they lose them both, it’s an uphill climb the rest of the way.

So an opinion that is different fro yours is “ silliness” and “ embarrassing “ . You think a little too highly of yourself . As for announcers , they should give Freuland a shot at it. She’d certainly be an improvement over Mowins.
