ngbills Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Not trying to get ahead of myself but barring a complete collapse the Bills will be in a playoff game in a few weeks. If I am picking the easiest match up today I would go with 1A/B Mia / LAV. 2 Indy 3 Cle 4 Bal 5 Pit 6 Ten 7 KC Lets look at the most likely scenarios: #3 Seed is most likely scenario #3 team plays #6 team so the Bills are likely playing: Most likely is Indy or Tenn - whoever loses division Other possibilities Mia, Cle, Bal #2 Seed if Cle beats out Pit #2 team plays #7 team so the Bills are likely playing: Most likely is Mia or LAV whoever makes it between the two Others could be any of Ind, Tenn, Bal #4 Seed or #7 Seed if we stink and lose at least 2 of the last 3 games #4 would likely mean playing either Pit or Cle, Bal has slight chance (loser of division) #7 would most likely playing either Pit or Cle (winner of division), KC is small chance Edited December 14, 2020 by ngbills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bills Blog Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 They are all very tough matchups. Very tough. I don't know how to pick one over another (discounting KC, of course, and MIA and LV, who won't make the playoffs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I voted for Miami, honestly they are the least scariest team to me.

Process Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Miami is the obvious answer. There is a giant gap between them and all of the other potential playoff teams (assuming LV doesn't make it). They are a dream matchup. With the division basically locked up we need to root for Miami the rest of the way. We want them in the playoffs in hopes of latching up with them . A browns win tonight would help.

dma0034 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think KC-Pit-Buf-Ten win their divisions. Of the wild card team I would not want to play the Browns. They can run the ball effectively and I wonder if the Bills can stop them. I'd like any other team. Dolphins because of the old rivalry. I think the Colts would be an interesting matchup. Don't think the Ravens will match up well (neither will the Raiders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock'em Sock'em Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) At this moment, the #1 seed is still possible. Here's the scenario: * Bills win out * KC loses two, to the Chargers and also either to the Saints or Falcons. * Steelers lose exactly one game (CIN, IND, CLE) forcing a three way tie. In this scenario, Buffalo is predicted to win a three-way tie breaker based on strength of victory. http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Of the teams the Bills would be best to face, I think this is the easiest order: Dolphins, Colts, Steelers, Titans, Browns, KC. Reasoning is that Bills have fared better against tough defenses than tough offenses. Edited December 14, 2020 by Rock'em Sock'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicharito Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Indy and Tennessee scare me ! I think we will have more trouble with them. KC doesn’t scare me.

NewEra Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I’d rather play: Vegas - meh miami - meh steelers- offense has no speed. titans- can’t see them beating us twice ravens- they’d be my first choice if not for their D browns- scared of the run game + Garrett colts- might be the most complete team. KC- so explosive, but we can beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will the browns stop the Bills and Allen? I will take a shootout with Josh vs Baker. The downside is having to see Baker's stupid commercials.

JGMcD2 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I voted Tennessee. Nothing scientific, purely emotional fan stuff from me on this... it’s who I want to play. They started the drought, the screwed with us this year, they made a run to the AFC Championship last year. I want them. This team has been beating all of the media narratives. 1) Josh sucks 2) Can’t win against good teams 3) Can’t win in Prime Time 4) Can’t beat the Patriots Give me revenge.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) The #2 seed feels more likely than the #3 seed with the way the Steelers are playing right now.

djp14150 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Patriots can still make pkayoffs... win out fins lose a game raiders lose a game Raven lose 2 all 4 at 9-7. NE in 2nd over Mia due to H2H. Thry beat the other two teams so they get 7 seed. I don’t want to play NE and would intentionally lose to Miami. Tennessee doesn’t scare me. Buffalo when playing them..they were missing D. They had three turnovers that gave Tenn a short field.

Don't think the Ravens will match up well (neither will the Raiders) I don’t know why, but there would be something so gratifying to see Josh Allen QB get a free run on Baker Mayfield. Just line him up at MLB once on a 3rd/long and send the house. Josh is everything Baker isn’t as QB, leader of the team, and human. Josh Allen stat line : 30/40, 325 yards, 3TDs 6 rushes 37 yards 1 RTD, 1 rec. 27 yards 1TD. 1 TFL-QB sack -6 yards.

Nick Chubb is just a monster. Kind of reminds me of the first time I watched Henry (when he wasn't as productive with the Titans earlier in his career). He is hard to bring down and makes plays when you need them most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our run D is looking better of late. Someone seems to have lit a fire under Vernon Butler. We will be a handful for any team in the NFL right now. When Josh has time, no team in the league can stop our passing game. Its that simple. Us against the Chiefs would be a hell of a matchup. But the defensive game plan has to be much more aggressive then the last time we played them. Need a big pass rush from outside in to contain Mahomes. He is not as comfortable w lots of big bodies all around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Miami first but I think they fall off a cliff. I see them losing 2 more games and that would put them at 9-7? Indy's offensive line scares me. Baltimore scares me because even though Lamar has declined in his passing game, he still can be dangerous.

RobbRiddick Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Have to say, the Browns are a team I'd like to avoid. They can play that hard-nosed, old school brand of offense and in a tight playoff game I could see them wearing our D down in the second half. People keep talking about the teams best suited to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, a lot of the experts are saying the Bills, which is nice, but I think the Browns are equipped to do it, provided Baker keeps playing well.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I chose Indianapolis. I would take Rivers and that old broken down shoulder in the cold any day over the other teams. Miami and a rookie QB would be my second choice but would not want to play them in back to back weeks even if they can rest their starters in week 17.

ngbills Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Interestingly, last nights game sucked for MIA. They are likely battling with BAL for the last spot. Week 17 - Bills play to beat MIA or rest players with division clinched? Could be an impact on determining who we play. Lots of moving parts that could all still be there come week 17 as well as which teams have something to play for in week 17. Experiment #1 - All favorites win games the next two weeks. Weeks 17 scenarios: Bills beat MIA and PIT beat CLE - Bills play CLE Bills beat MIA and CLE beat PIT - Bills play IND MIA beat Bills and Pit beat CLE - Bills play BAL MIA beat Bills and CLE beat PIT - Bills platy MIA Big games to watch: Week 15 MIA v NE KC v NO Week 16 MIA v LAV IND v PIT TEN v GB BUF v NE Week 17 BUF v MIA PIT v CLE Edited December 16, 2020 by ngbills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
