I don’t think so. Anyway, it’s the NFL and the first round always has upsets. If you’re trying to compare the Saints current team / roster to the Bills you are way off base. They have a future HOF QB, studs all over the place and are absolutely in a “ win a championship now” mode and have been for a few seasons. Any team that makes the playoffs can make a super bowl run in any given year so when someone says that when their team is in the playoffs is just plain stupid. The Saints just gave up two 40 yard TDs on defense. If that happens with us then we are "still a year away" or "this team is a joke" or something stupid.

Daniel Jones and Haskins both look much improved.. awareness, confidence and accuracy. Duck Hodges era is coming to an end. Another poor interception thrown when Stillers were driving The cream is rising to the top. Duck was UDFA for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team still has to have the necessary ingredients to make that run, even if their regular season didn’t reflect it. Sometimes a team will just get hot in the playoffs and it carries them through. Thinking that every team in the playoffs has the same chance to win the championship is folly. Being realistic about what the Bills have and don’t have isn’t stupid. They’re in a rebuild and having success while covering up major flaws. That’s a result of good coaching , but they’ll need to take it to another level in the playoffs. You really can’t compare the Bills with a developing QB to a team with a future HOF QB that was in the NFC title game last season. You could , but some might call that “ plain stupid”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just now, TheFunPolice said: Ravens look terrible I think there's something to clinching a playoff berth. This tends to happen every year. A team wins their division or gets in the playoffs with a few weeks to go and they play somewhat soft the next few weeks.

Matchups have something to do with it, though I agree the intensity can trail off when things are sewn up. No way the Ravens lose to the Steelers in week 17 though.

It’s possible that the Bills could go on a run in the playoffs, but it’s unlikely. When you can only score 10 to 17 PPG against good teams, your margin for error is just too small. Everything has to go right, and that rarely happens, especially on the road against a good team. Edited December 22, 2019 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 The PI challenge rule is absolutely worthless. Ravens got hosed. Not only wasntnit PI, but the ball was 3 yards out of bounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a championship caliber defense that gives us a chance in every game. And I don't think every team has the same chance I just think people are severely underestimating our team. I honestly don't think us and the Saints are that far off. The Saints lost to a 5 win Falcons team when they were just 1-7 earlier in the year. Honestly, if the Saints were still playing with Bridgewater do you think they would still be that much better? Any team can do anything in the playoffs. I do think "ingredients" are important but I think you're only looking at it one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
