transplantbillsfan Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I don't really know what McDermott's plan is, but he better be playing for the #2 seed. Now that fans are allowed in the stadium for playoff games, it would be a crime against WNYers not to ensure you get 2 home games. I don't care if he designates someone to scoreboard watch and puts Josh & co. on the bench once it's clear Cleveland will beat Pittsburgh, but you definitely need to make sure you don't lose Sunday and watch Pittsburgh win. And yes, Pittsburgh can win even with Rudolph at QB. Remember these are the same Browns who just lost to the Jets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefield advantage. It's what you play for. On top of that, winning the #2 seed all but guarantees you don't see the Ravens in the 1st round. They're the other "hottest team in the NFL" right now along with Buffalo. Make sure homefield is locked up. That's what's best. Rest your starters once that's clearly happened. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically that for himself, rest is good but he wants to play because there are plays he wants back, and in the NFL the next team will try those things against you so he has some things to work on and he would love to play. Thanks for sharing this, Hap! I’m among the crowd that wants us to play for the #2 seed. It’s really cool to hear MH’s reasons on why he wants to play. Such a good perspective as a player.

BillsFan130 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The big question as well: If bills do play their starters, do they play their A game plan knowing they may play the Dolphins again in the wild card round? I don’t think they play their starters all game, but if they do it will be interesting to see how they approach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, besides the football reasons, there is a possibility of having to play on the road if we dont have the #2 seed. Considering that fans will be allowed to Bills Stadium, we will have some home field advantage and its another reason to want the #2 seed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There's very little chance of the Steelers (minus some starters) beating a very motivated Browns team that will likely have their 4 starting receivers again.

If Pittsburgh loses, we avoid the scary Ravens no matter what happens in our game. I think the optimal scenario is a Bills win no matter what. I wouldn't trust the Browns to win this week, especially with their Covid issues now. A Bills win guarantees they face either the Colts if the Browns win or the Fins again if Pitt wins. A Bills win also means Ravens and Titans face off, which I"d like to see as well. Of course, this assumes Colts, Ravens, and Titans all win, which I think is a very, very high probability...

In all reality, yes Brown can come in as you put it “cold”, and play very well, it’s not like he has never played a butt load of games with Josh as his number one wideout... Browns circumstances are what they are with Covid regs, so the team will control what they can, and find a way to make it work, it really is that simple. Go Bills!!!

Honestly I think it’s simply fear of the unknown-the Bills have already played the other top AFC teams (and dominated one of them when Josh was at full strength) so this is the one team people are fully sure of how they will stack up. As far as the Titans and Chiefs are concerned, I think most people are of the opinion that with a full week to prepare for just one of them and a fully healthy Josh the Bills March up very well with both of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
