BigBuff423 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I loathe the idea of going into Houston. Yes their Offensive Line struggles but Watson makes up for that - and then some. Their Defense is better than advertised and playing in a dome for the Bills who've been now getting colder weather in their veins could spell trouble for conditioning. To me, out of the possible scenarios - KC is the better team for the Bills to play. No team is going to be easy for the Bills since they're still really a year away in having 3-4 positions added for true Super Bowl contender talent and another year of experience for the young players, i.e. Allen / Edmunds / Singletary and Knox. That said, the teeth of this Defense is their Pass Defense and the strength of the KC Offense is their passing game. It would allow the Bills to almost exclusively focus on stopping Mahomes and essentially situationally react to their running game. Additionally, the weather might be one that is more conducive to a defensive struggle, which plays into the Bills' strengths as well. I'm not saying Mahomes would be / will be easy to beat, just that based on where this team is now and where their areas of strengths are - you'd want the Bills to run, control the clock, and make a few plays via passing in the cold rather than getting into a track meet in a dome. JMO.

If we can do the same, we could host the AFC Championship. Thoughts? Expand We could do it if Josh was throwing the ball like Tanehill which i hate to say because i thought he wasn't that good in Miami, but since he came aboard here in Nashville & had to sit the bench for a bit the Titans were doing worse before with Mariotta . If Josh can play consistent the games would be much better & a championship wouldn't be far fetched !!
aristocrat Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 titans beat the chiefs earlier this year with mahomes throwing for a gazillion yards. they'd be a tough out for anyone. tanny isn't as bad as people think

As long as Tre is healthy and out there we shouldn't wish for a team with one of the best running backs in the league. Expand The only chance we play Henry will be for the right to represent the AFC in the Superbowl and if that happens it will have to go through New Era stadium.
billsherd Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 So if KC losses and Texans win, we go to KC. I hope KC wins because KC will be hard to stop in Arrowhead. Does KC have anything to play for, other than who they play?

billsherd Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 What time usually wildcard games take place? I understand it will be SAT/SUN, but is it 1 pm 4 pm? I don't think it will be night game. Just trying to plan it so I don't miss out on watching it and let the wife know ahead of time so she doesn't make any commitments.

Expand The Titans have some strong receivers and Henry scares me considering the way we have been tackling.
