streetkings01 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I would love another shot at the Titans in the playoffs. We played them with no Tre White, Levi Wallace, Matt Milano, John Brown or Zach Moss. I see that left out, Josh Norman was our #1 CB that night.....*yikes*. I think we smoke the Titans if we see them again, hoping the Colts win the division so we see the Titans again! 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm convinced Josh was more dinged than he let on at that point too. Not a coincidence that those back-to-back losses were right after that shoulder injury during the Raiders game. 22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bferra13 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Yeah, not to mention getting jerked around with scheduling/COVID and then the Titans being hailed on the broadcast as such an inspiration playing shorthanded. They were missing a holder and some scrub wr's lol. Out there holding illegal practices at HS football fields too. This should go in the airing of grievances thread, cuz that really ticked me off.

This is a totally different football team then back then. With that said, Tennessee is a team that is built in a manner that gives this Buffalo team challenges on defense. They run the ball very well, they are physical and they do really good play action with a highly efficient QB. The Bills are the better team but Tennessee is really good as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I don't think we smoke them. They are a good team. I do no for sure, no way in hell we get blown out. It would be a one score game at worst. 1 minute ago, Magox said: The most important factor was that Josh was still ailing with his shoulder injury.

BillsPride12 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 It reminds me of when we got thumped in KC on MNF during the 91 season. Bruce and somebody else I think were out for that game. We got them in a rematch in the playoffs at Rich and we returned the favor 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our defense is clicking right now. That 1st meeting Josh Norman was abused and picked on constantly.....replace Josh Norman with Tre White and that game looks a lot different.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Not to mention at the time we were also preparing for a Thursday game with KC With the players we had out plus the craziness of the schedule I think if we play them again we return the favor Most of their scores were off turnovers/gave them short fields Not to mention that game with how Tennessee was being portrayed in the media the game meant a lot more to them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think the Titans are the most complete team in the conference in that they have a good running and passing game. Their defense isn't great but good at times and their kicker can hit a long one and knows about pressure but hasn't been perfect this season. I'd rather play them later than sooner in the playoffs as want us to gain some confidence as this team hasn't won a playoff game and let's not forget we were up a lot at the half time last year and lost in OT to Houston.

HappyDays Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 As far as I can tell we would only play the Titans in the wildcard round if they lose to the Texans in week 17. If they lose to the Packers and Texans there's a good chance they drop out of the playoffs entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I too would love a rematch. Most want to stay away from that game, but I look forward to it. I fear no team against ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I’d rather not play the Titans in the first round, but then again, I’m not really afraid (for the first time since forever) to play any team in the league. I think we CAN beat the Chiefs and the Packers, and I think we SHOULD beat every other team. LGO! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Ya I'd rather play an "easier" team in the first round, but McDermott strikes me as the type of guy to get payback on a team that embarrassed us the first time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterlaw Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Our first possession in Tennessee ended when Andre Roberts tipped a pass into the hands of a Titans defender. Our WR Corp looks a heck of a lot stronger now. Doubt Roberts will get another target from Josh unless we rest all the starters in Week 17.

machine gun kelly Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 For the injury report person, don’t forget Edmunds was playing trying to tackle with one arm. I don’t want to be that team though as the whining fro Steelers players and fans is ridiculous. We’re a better team. Period. If we win the next two, ams the Steelers lose, the Browns might get the North and we can destroy them. I was going to say JuJu, please dance again on our logo, but I understand this morning he had a schlacking by the team, and is trying to act humble now. I want Derrick Henry and the Titans to win this weekend against the Packs, so we have to beat the Fins for #2. Then Henry runs for 250 yards each game so he is so worn out and keeps driving against the Texans. In the first round he’d have to run a ton to get to us in the second round. Remember how weak he looked in the AFCC last year as he ran so much he wore down. That would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) I've gone back and forth with Tennessee fans on this. I've mentioned that Tannehill has become a competent QB because having the best RB in the league has taken the pressure off him to carry a team. How it's made his job so much easier for him because teams can't stack the box. I said out of jealousy and envy that if the Bills had Henry along with their current passing offense we would win the SB. Man did that open a can of worms! I do hope we play them again. All they consider is the final score. Not injured Josh. Not Tre, Smoke, Milano missing. Not Covid or the hoops jumped to accommodate their team. Not Buffalos indecisive prep or travel. It was their signature win of the season and they won't let it go because when you lose to a 1 win team (Cincy)a few weeks later that's all you got. Teams like Tennessee and Miami are super annoyed when analysts talk about what team has the best chance to beat KC because most are unanimous picking Buffalo. I'd much rather play them than Baltimore, Cleveland, or an opportunistic Miami. Edited December 24, 2020 by billsbackto81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Not to mention the Bills would be playing with something to prove. The Titans handed them their biggest beat-down of the season, and you can bet they will be fired up to even the score. Also, those banged up Bills held Derrick Henry to 57 on 19 carries. I doubt that happens again, but it's worth noting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that they smoke them - the Titans are a good team and match up well with the Bills with the smashmouth run game behind Henry - but I sure like our chances over the Titans. Over anyone but the Chiefs, really, and I think they've got a really good shot there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTime101 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Titans had all the time in the world to sit on there AZZ and watch film on us. They were way more prepared... now?

GunnerBill Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I would make the Bills a slight favourite against Tennessee in Buffalo but Tennessee and Cleveland remain the two I'd rather avoid because this is a match up league. That is why you see scores all over the map week to week. Neither are great match ups for the Bills but at our best we beat both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I don't care much who we play. But, on the other hand, wouldn't it be great if we avenged all of our regular season losses in the playoffs? In fact, if we rest starters in Week 17 and that allows the Dolfish to get in, could we play Fish, Titans, Chefs, and then in the Super Bowl the Cardinals? I realize very unlikely (at least for the Cardinals to make it that far), but it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsCuse Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 We gifted them 3 turnovers near the red zone and they scored TDs on all of them (if I am remembering correctly) Mistakes like that are killer. We played like a$$ that game and they won fair and square, but I think The Bills are the better team and would win if they meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 It was probably the game where we made the most mistakes this season. Gunner does have a point though, teams with strong running games are not the easiest for us to match up with. Henry may not have been run as much the last game, simply because he didn't have to, with the short fields we kept giving them. With normal preparation, I still believe we would beat them now, but it wouldn't be an easy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The Titans are a tough match up for the Bills given their emphasis on the run. I see them as a very tough game for the Bills, possibly more so than the Chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
