The Red King Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 KC jumping NE might have opened a slightly easier playoff road for us. We start at Houston and cannot meet NE until the Championship game. The Titans, should they make it, match well with NE. Should they topple NE a Bills win then sends them to KC instead of Baltimore, an (imho) far more winable game. Hell, a Bills win and a Titans upset over Baltimore and the Bills could even host the Championship game. Unlikely, of course, but any way you slice it I think our path to the Super Bowl looks a lot nicer then it did before KC leapfrogged NE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I believe it worked out in our favor. In addition, with the Pats*** losing, they have a MUCH harder slog to get to four in a row. ? So wish we played better against them last week. Fitz came through for us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I like the post substance. Let's just get through Houston at this point though. There is no point of looking ahead anymore. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 True. Just play them as they come. I feel that beating Houston is very important to the progression of this program under Beane and McDermott. A win would say a lot about this team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychologically it it could be a benefit if they don’t have to play the patricheats The best path...at Houston, at KC, host Seed #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I would like to play the team that can't beat the Dolphins at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakin Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I think we can beat Houston in Houston. we have some good matchups with them. I see Texans as 4 point favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 We need to win a playoff game this year. Then next year it helps us get free agents, we need to get back to the postseason again and take out shot at unseating NE again. I truly believe Brady is leaving NE or the NFL after this season or next so it’s time we start becoming the bully in our division. Losing in the first playoff game just suggests, maybe incorrectly, that we were a product of our schedule and may remove some of the credibility/belief we need to have a great year next year.

Da webster guy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 A better path simply because we just watched Brady and Bill and Gilmore lay an egg and blow a huge home game to a mediocre team. The fins dont suck, and when Fitz is hot he's hot, but the real joy is seeing failure from Mr "i think i'll play til i'm 45 because look at my special keto diet and amazing workouts nobody else in the world could do unless they were me or Gisele" Titans and Vrabel are gonna beat them and say goodbye to #12 forever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking NFL games in that manner is a fools errand. Different players, different matchups, different coaches. 3 minutes ago, Bakin said: I think we can beat Houston in Houston. we have some good matchups with them. I see Texans as 4 point favorites.

MDH Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Call me crazy but I think @KC is a more difficult game than @Balt. Bills played Baltimore offense really well last time and with a 2nd game I think they’ll improve on that performance vs. an offense that counts on being a one of a kind entity. I don’t trust the Bills to be able to shut down that KC offense or the Bills’ offense to be able to keep up.

The Red King Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 I assume nothing and wrote my initial post carefully. It's got to be one game at a time. That being said, it doesn't hurt to think about what lays beyond should the Bills win. Things look a little more viable now. NE didn't get a chance to rest this week and lost their bye week. They're going to be worn, something they're not used to in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) The team that wins the Super Bowl will be the team that is the best team, not the team with some hypothetical "easiest path". Who we play in what order does not matter. 2 hours ago, Putin said: Our offense will have to step up we can’t just count on defense to hold Houston under 17 points,,, GO BILLS let’s kick some jopa !!!! The defense will have to get off the field and not let the other team have 10 minute drives to give offense a chance.

You make good points, and additionally the Chiefs have been holding opponents in the last several games to low point totals, so their defense is much better now than in the beginning of their season. Neither team is an easier path. As much as I want us to win in Houston, if so, it is hard for me to wrap my arms around beating either team. It would be fun to watch the Titans ram it down the Pats throat, and they do have a solid defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
