BisonMan Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Given the seeding, I think we'd rather play Pittsburgh as opposed to the winner of the Titan/Ravens game. If the Browns win, they'll draw KC in round 2, automatically. I much prefer a Bills/Steelers rematch in Orchard Park over facing either of the running games from Tennessee or Baltimore. Am I figuring this right? Anyone disagree? 16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yeah the only problem with the Steelers are the damn obnoxious Steeler fans and their idiotic terrible towels will try to invade our stadium. I just hope with all the Covid protocol we can keep them out, certainly dont want to start a plague in Pittsburgh do we. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 No, the seeding doesn't re-set. So, IF the Bills win, they play the winner of the Steelers / Browns game, while KC plays the winner of the Ravens / Titans game. That was why the #2 seed was so important, along with home field if they play two rounds. If the Bills keep winning and KC were to keep winning, they couldn't face off until the AFC Championship game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I figuring this right? Anyone disagree? "We" are only rooting for the Bills every week. 🙂 We are going to run into a good running team at some point (KC ran a lot against us) so we cant hope to avoid such a game. If we are to win the AFC Championship or Superbowl, we have to beat any flavor of team(s). Which we did after the Chiefs game Edited January 4, 2021 by Fan in Chicago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jletha Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yea Id rather play Pittsburgh for sure. That said I think we can beat anyone. Baltimore worries me since theyre kinda rolling and theyre such a different style of team to prepare for. But the way we have been playing lately I think we can beat anyone. First up is the Colts.

Bulldog Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't think it matters much who we play next - I do not fear any of these potential foes much more than the others. We should be well able to handle any of them - win 2 games & we'll see KC in the AFC Championship game (if KC makes it that far!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPappy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Honestly... I would rather play the Steelers than the Titans. That said, I'm not really what to think about playing the Titans again. The last time we played them, we didn't know for sure who we were going to be playing and had to game plan on a short time frame. We got crushed... but we're not the same team that we were then either. Their Defense is mediocre at best of that Henry is an absolute beast and very tough to stop in the run game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Sure, and I don't disagree. However, let's also be careful of what we wish for. The Steelers are the team we have scored the fewest points against going back the last two months, plus 7 of those were due to a defensive TD.

Do The Reich Thing Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 My dream scenario is Browns beat Steelers and the Titans beat the Ravens. Bills obviously dismantle the Colts and then get the Titans in the second round. The Steelers are getting healthier and Ben has recovered a bit from his injury. I think the Bills can stop the Titans enough and the Titans defense is absolutely atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For illustrative purposes lets call them sites A B C D E F G you went through in abc order and now are on G site, then you hit back button and go to F site. Now you are on F site and you hit "BACK" button again. LOL......where should it take you......??? back one to E site or back to where you just came from?? G site?? lol the draft gets confusing because if you move down in a round the number of the pick goes up. If you move up the number gets smaller.
