DCofNC Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I feel that 4/5 match up are the two teams that have the best shot at pulling an upset in the bracket overall. I’d much rather they take on KC than Buffalo. Pitt is pretty banged up and has been playing horribly, all that is out the window in the Playoffs, but I’d take them over dealing w the run game of either Tenn/Balt.

Big Gun Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If the Bills win they play Pitt if they win or they play Tenn/Balt winner if Browns win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I'm rooting for Buffalo and couldn't care less who we face next. Obviously there are easier roads than others but the way our team is playing, I don't think anyone can stop us. Maybe I am just a homer but this team is a legit super bowl contender and as long as they stay firing on all cylinders, there is no team that can slow the Bills down. There is always that "any given Sunday" thing but this is the first time since the Kelly era where I actually expect to make the super bowl. Before the season started I said division winners and win a playoff game. Now I think ... get to the show and win that too! Go get em Bills.... from an older M&T bank magnet that was a little too soon "This is our time." Edited January 4, 2021 by Scott7975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 As of today Pitt looks like the best matchup but things change in a hurry. A key injury or tough game may change the calculation. We fans can speculate but McDermott will have them focused on Indy Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domitian Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Bills defensive weakness is against the run, and the Steelers have one of the worst running games in the league. Yes, I'd much rather play them than Henry or Lamar. Steelers are paper tigers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Too bad Houston is missing out on our 2020 buzzsaw! Like Brady, I guess they knew when getting out of the way was preferable.... No way we would've lost to either this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 What a crash landing it would be if the Bills lost to the Colts. With that said, the focus should be on the Colts and not even worrying beyond that right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what we all talk about has no bearing on what happens Saturday, so there's no reason we can't get ahead of ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 5 hours ago, RoyBatty is alive said: All three of those teams are brutal matchups for the Bills and any of the three imo could survive. You get Derrick Henry on a roll and the Titans are brutal, same thing with Lamar. My rankings before yesterday from most desirable to least desirable were: Miami > Colts > Browns > Titans > Ravens Colts have the next lowest offensive ceiling to Miami. Browns/Titans could be seen as a toss up, but both secondaries stink. The Ravens have the run game and great talent on defense and have won (5) straight. Definitely want Pittsburgh to beat the Browns and let the Chiefs deal with Tennessee/Baltimore. Let them tackle Derrick Henry or try to contain Lamar/Dobbins for 4-quarters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in Houston I had to watch the Texans twice fumble away games in the final minutes to the Colts. I was not impressed with the Colts at all. Take away just one of the games and Colts dont make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 5 hours ago, BigBuff423 said: 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. the seeding has always reset. KC plays the lowest seed left. as of now the only certain pairs are if the colts win they are at KC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1-15 Jaguars with Mike Glennon played the entire second half at 21-14 with the Colts and forced numerous punts with the Rivers led offense.
