Belicheat kills young QBs hopes. With no fans , there is no home field advantage this year, so I say rest starters the final week even if the # 2 seed is available. seeing the stadium empty is very sad and it really detracts from watching the game IMO. I want to win games , not see the team in my deserted patch vs. someone else's deserted patch. Bye weeks make a big difference to the starters during the season.. having one right before a playoff game would have the same effect, I believe.

Whites Bay Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'm not going to invest too much emotional energy into "rooting interests", because I know that my vibe affects the outcome not-one-bit-in-the-slightest. BUT... When it comes to playoff seeding, I simply hope the Bills host a warm weather team. It's been a mild autumn thus far in Upstate New York, but that schitt's over now. Welcome to the Great White North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In games like this I root for whatever benefits the Bills. NE winning helps the Bills this week. Of course if Buffalo wins on Saturday then the Pats-Fins game means nothing.

wjag Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Damn those Chargers. Anything and I mean anything that opens the door for the Ravens and Patriots, I'm against. I wanted to see the Raiders in the playoffs as they were the weakest team of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visiting team still has to travel and play in (what some announcers still call a hostile environment) "not so familiar" stadiums. 4 minutes ago, inaugural balls said: It means a lot to me when the Pats lose. go Miami. lesser of two weevils Miami losing could be crushes the hopes of the Fish Fans.

Miami will always be the #1 enemy for Bills fans. The 20 straight losses in the 70's as well as the Kelly-Marino years when the rivalry really heated up. For me personally living in NJ its the Jets but most Bills fans will tell you Miami tops the hated list. I hate the Pats as well with Belichick and Brady dominating the Bills so its nice to see the Pats struggle this year. As I mentioned in games like this root for whatever benefits the Bills. I have a feeling it won't matter as Buffalo will take care of business on Saturday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I know about the history, but it doesn’t affect me nearly as much as having to watch the patriots beat down the Bills just about twice a year growing up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Looking at the other games you realize this week is ALL about the Bills taking care of their own business tomorrow. The other games are all pretty predictable, barring some major upset. I don’t want to back in! Go Bills....FINISH THIS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five teams I hope Josh dominates in his career ala Brady: Miami (no we have not forgotten or forgiven the 70's), NE (same, except it has been 2 decades of misery), SF (childhood team that did not pick him), Pittsburgh, and Denver (played next door and got no interest from a team needing a QB).

I actually kind of like New England in this game. Agreed they matchup well with Miami. Miami Strength on D is the secondary and Cam sucks anyway. The Pats can run the ball that includes Cam and can give Miami problems. Parker and Gisecki are hurt. Gaskin still out. BB vs rookie QBs I like New England here....so long as they still care. 31 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: Looking at the other games you realize this week is ALL about the Bills taking care of their own business tomorrow.

I would add the Jets to your list as well. Divisional rival and just to keep their d-bag fanbase quiet and miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it won't matter as Buffalo will take care of business on Saturday. I lived through the Miami dominance - but can't agree w/ that 1st line at all. The Patriots long ago took the pole position on that. There really isn't a comparison, imo. I don't even really hate Miami anymore; I've rooted for them against the Pats too much at this point. What the Patriots have done over the past 20 years as it relates to the Bills has very few comparisons in sports history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill won't be there forever and looking at the division I would say Buffalo and Miami will battling it out for the division for the next few years. If the hatred for Miami "cooled" I guarantee you it will heat up again since both teams are/or will be good in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean they host two playoff games before the AFC Championship but also means they wouldn’t have to face the Chiefs until that game, either. Buffalo clinches the AFC East with a win and I’m sure they would rather do it with a W than with a Dolphins loss. Cincinnati Bengals (2-10-1) over Pittsburgh Steelers (11-2) Monday Night Football Detroit Lions over Tennessee Titans (9-4) Sunday, December 20 1:00 p.m. EST New Orleans Saints over Kansas City Chiefs (12-1) Sunday, December 20 4:25 p.m. EST Not w/o Drew. New England Patriots (6-7) over Miami Dolphins (8-5) Sunday, December 20 1:00 p.m. EST Jacksonville Jaguars (1-12) over Baltimore Ravens (8-5) Sunday, December 20 1:00 p.m. EST Houston Texans (4-9) over Indianapolis Colts (9-4) Sunday, December 20 1:00 p.m. EST New York Giants over Cleveland Browns (9-4) Sunday Night Football. that’s some list. makes some games worth watching Am literally printing this out for easy reference this weekend next to the TV, lol.

Bobby Hooks Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) All I know is I don’t want the second seed if Ravens end up in the wildcard. Im not loving that match up with the Ravens getting healthy right in time for the push. Edited December 18, 2020 by Bobby Hooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
