Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Are the Steelers our dream match up? They can't run the ball and they are starting to lose some good players from their stout defense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they would want that A LOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the division over with as soon as possible. Wish the Bills were playing Dolphins next week. Getting the 2 seed would be just fine. Get the Chiefs as late as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunderbill Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Not sure if you are aware but apparently the AFC East is going to the Dolphins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Without a bye and no to little fans in the stands, not sure the difference between #2 or #4 is that big a deal. Most important game is at New England. This fan base and this franchise needs to exorcise those demons once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know how these games will look or how things will turn out. Most didn't think Washington could beat them, but they did. Steelers got beat up in Ravens game and then Washington game lost. Do you think same thing would have happened if original schedule was kept? I do not think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 In This Covid-season and going forward, 2nd Place in Conference seedlings means very little. Only the top Conference team earns a bye. Yes, Division Champs get a Home playoff game, but after that, the seeding goes best vs least. For this season, anyway, the late Bye has helped the overall team health to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If COVID causes issue in last quarter of season the NFL has option to go to 16 teams and this will be no team with bye. This will result in different matchups as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Quote Run the table and the #2 seed in the AFC is in play you need KC and Pitt to drop at least 2 games. Why not go all out and say #1 Seed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this season, anyway, the late Bye has helped the overall team health to date. That's how I'm feeling this season. If we don't get the #1 seed in the conference, the other spots don't really matter much. Yes, I understand that seeding helps determine whether the team is playing at home or on the road. But in New York, the Bills haven't had fans all season (which takes away our 12th man advantage). And as a passing team, it may actually be better for us to play in a dome or somewhere with better weather in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The probability of it all happening is so little that I'm not going to worry about it. Beat Pittsburgh, hope the phish lose to the Chiefs so we can wrap up the division in Denver. We had our shot at KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the lead at 9-3 with 4 games to go lets aim higher. So with the Dolphins, we could lose two of the next three and go into the final game one game behind Miami. However, if we win against Miami that final game we will still win the AFC East. This is assuming they are going to run the table as they have to face the Chiefs, Patriots and Raiders (their easy games are over) Our games: Steelers, Denver, New England, Miami Miami : Chiefs, Patriots, Raiders, Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Since the first seed and its bye is unlikely, it actually might be better to be the third or fourth seed given the passing identity of this offense. Snow and howling winds are not ideal for four-receiver sets Allen thrives in, and the favor running teams like Cleveland and Tennessee. Look at how Allen struggled at home against KC in the rain and wind. The Bills might be better off playing away games in warm conditions or a dome than at home, especially since they don't have fans in the stadium in either case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
