Well, so glad the least injured team in the league gets the bye, whew! i was worried for them. Get healthy KC! And i bet on the Raiders +9.5 today. Lol. dummy dummy me

I don’t disagree about playing in Arrowhead. If people notice, KC has some close games there. Outside Arrowhead, they are dialed in. But i definitely don’t want to have to win at Cincinnati the prior week. That would be extremely tough. i get the sentiment of making it a no doubt statement on who is best, but no thanks. Beating Cincinnati at home would be hard enough.

LV not going to be able to get a running game going. No time. Gonna need to pass, pass, pass in the 2nd half. Go Stidham!

Gosh the Raiders penalties are crushing ones

Still think the NFL conspiracy will find a way to keep the Raiders in this as much as possible. The league wants close games, Ratings and drama

I thought the Raiders would rise up today. And i’ve also been saying all year how good KC is as a road team under Mahomes. So if we play them or if Cincinnati plays then at a neutral field, it won’t be any easier than Arrowhead. They might even play better away.

Jeez, Stidham just throws bombs, what a gunslinger. Not good man.

Yep Was telling my son this game started out just like ours against Cinci.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see NE take an early lead. Our D tends to get gashed when they are totally amped up and not playing disciplined defense against the run. They over-pursue and miss tackles. Hope not, i expect the Bills to win the game.

I think the Raiders get er done today. I really do. i definitely put an online bet in for LV +9.5. Maybe it’s wishful thinking but i’m banking on the due theory. KC is 15-0 with Mahomes in AFC West road games. That simply has to correct itself at some point. Let today be the day.

I strongly believe that the majority of people you see on the KC and Cincinnati message boards, and the nasty commenters on Twitter, are the lowest of the low. These are the same people that likely wanted the game to continue that night...and definitely completed by the very next day. These are jerks without empathy, all they care about is winning and not the people involved. I don't believe the majority of fans from those teams feel that way, it's just the idiots are the loudest. And to be honest if the situation was reversed there would be a lot of jerky, immature Bills fans commenting too...I see these people all over the place on other teams' message boards and social media. They often act like jerks over the most mundane things and make our fanbase look like losers sometime.

I agree. Not sure why that option wasn't on the table. And the Bengals first game should be at home, no coin flip. Some Cincinnati fans have had a meltdown over this whole new arrangement but they do have the benefit of not playing the Chiefs at Arrowhead if they get to the AFCCG,,, and that's very possible. Also, they make a big deal out of past tragedies and/or people dying not canceling games, etc. But none of those happened in-game. This really was unprecedented and it happened in week 17 so there is really no fair way to flex the game back in the schedule unless the entire playoff dates were re-organized. In the future, if a player is paralyzed in a game (hopefully never)...but if it does happen, who knows, the game might be postponed. Mental health is a much bigger deal now than even 10-15 years ago and the players mindset will be considered before continuing a game with a real life emergency happening if front of them.

The Chiefs having control of the bye week and the Bengals potentially having to win a coin toss (vs Baltimore if they lose Sunday) are the only things that really rub me the wrong way.

I kinda think he’s using this to get his club fired up to beat the Ravens and then into the playoffs. One thing the NFL did right, they made sure to keep the KC, Buffalo and Cincinnati games this weekend all meaningful.

Now that Zac Taylor is going scorched earth on the playoff adjustments, he's going to have his guys running through a wall and playing the world is against us card. If the Bills play Cincinnati in the playoffs, that's gonna be our hardest game to get past.

It's going to be Joe Flacco Sunday against Skylar Thompson. That's crazy for such a big game for Miami.

With all the love from every corner of America and the accommodations made for the Bills....They better WIN IT this season. This has to be the year. There's no choice but to win it. And Buffalo will get all neutral fans rooting for them. Even Cincinnati and KC fans would probably just say, fine take your darn Super Bowl trophy... and now disappear.

I had to do an eyeroll when I heard his comment yesterday. I thought JA worked on his family cantaloupe farm? Whatever it is, it ain't affluenza.

Seeing as NE is fighting for their playoff lives along with everything the Bills have on the line (seeding, avoiding Arrowhead)...this is kind of the first playoff game. Except if we lose, we're not going home.

I think it's because they are not *guaranteed* a first round home game if they lose to the Ravens,,, AND they had a legit path to the 2 seed if they won the MNF game and maybe the 1 seed.

I mean it's been Buffalo love all week. So just take it and be happy things are looking up. Even Nick Wright wore a Bills cap the other day on his show and listed Buffalo at the top of his hierarchy (power rankings).

I think the Raiders are gonna show up. Stidham looked pretty good against a tough 49ers defense. I think this game will be close and LV will have a chance to win. Maybe they are due to get a late turnover in their favor to win it. I put an online bet on the Raiders +9.5. Maybe wishful thinking but i think that spread is too high.

Their fanbase went from being sympathetic to very angry. Can’t say i blame them. But they are kind of assuming that up 7-3 and driving they would’ve beaten the Bills. I to view it from the other side. What if Buffalo was in Cincinnati shoes? How would we feel?

I really think the Raiders have a chance to pull an upset. It’s their Super Bowl, it’s a rivalry game, they are as sick as any team of being dominated by KC. I heard somewhere that KC-Mahomes is 15-0 on the road against the AFC West. They are due for a clunker or for some weird stuff to happen. I think the Bills/Pats game will be for the 1 seed.

From what i understand, if the Ravens win week 18, and they meet the Bengals in the Wild Card round, a coin flip will determine the home team. Which is part of why Cincinnati fans are all riled up.
