Utah John Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 4 hours ago, The Dean said: For what it's worth, why don't you think they wouldn't run through a wall for McDermott? On the field, I have complete confidence in this team's commitment and football culture. Performance on the field is not the issue. It's every player making the commitment to ensure he's available to practice and play, so he doesn't let his teammates down. The biggest edges the Bills have over the Chiefs this year is the Chiefs' very tough schedule, and the likelihood that the officials have rediscovered the need to call defensive holding on the Chiefs when they commit fouls on our WRs (as the officials did in the SB, and not surprisingly the Chiefs lost that game). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I expect better D-line play, and better run blocking, which will tip the scales to give us the #1 seed. Just actually COVER KELCE and we can take the championship. I will hold my vote however until I see how the starters look today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 3 hours ago, Doc Brown said: I know. I said that Mahomes picked them apart in the playoff game before he got hurt. The Browns also didn't have Garrett or Clowney to pressure Mahomes so maybe they can contain him better somewhat. I think the Browns style of offense is ideal as they have the balance to sustain long clock eating drives (keep Mahomes off the field as much as possible) as long as they finish them with TD's. That means going and converting it on fourth down instead of settling for the field goal. They were 4th in red zone offense last year relying heavily on Chubb and Hunt. Attack the middle of the Chiefs defense with Hooper and Landry using OBJ (also didn't play) to open up space. Last year playoffs the Browns killed themselves in the first half with penalties stalling their drives having to deal with 2nd or 3rd and 15 plus yards. Also, don't fumble the damn ball reaching for the pylon for a touchdown. 2 things, first I had original picked the Browns, but then realized…dang that will be a tough division so I picked KC. Sexond, for those of you that picked other, I need to know who you had in mind. Not judging, just curious. I’ll reserve the judgment for later. 😁 Raiders? Miami?! San Diego?

LyndonvilleBill Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I went with the Browns (sorry), but only because I think it comes down to Tiebreakers. Bills: 13-4 W/L 4-2 Division 10-2 Conference Browns: 13-4 W/L 4-2 Division 10-2 Conference Same W/L records Same Division records Same Conference records Common opponents both beat KC and both beat Texans. No other common opponents and not sure how Steelers or Pat's would work here being in division and I have us splitting with the Pat's and the Browns splitting with the Steelers...🤔. Maybe someone could help me with this one? Don't play head to Head - Wash Division records - Wash Conference records- Wash SOV - ? TBD... SOS - Browns .518 -Bills .478 Browns 1 seed Bills 2 seed I have Chiefs going 12-5, losses to Browns, Ravens, Bills, WFT and an upset loss to the Chargers week 15 after they win 7 straight and get too cocky.😉 Edited August 28, 2021 by LyndonvilleBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I predict Bills get the #1 seed this time over KC, but will be close like within a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It's going to depend on injuries & availability more than ever. I still think the Chiefs will get there, as they've also gotten quite a bit better, especially on defense, but I think the Bills will make it an interesting race.

JerseyBills Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Besides KC , Cle scares me. With that D and running game and if Baker can take a step with a healthy OBJ, they're going to be a handful in January I think NE is also a sleeper to have a bounce back year, that D will be worlds better and if they can get a solid run game going, they'll be a tough outing too. But as far as 1 seed , KC or Buf then Cle,Ten. Pit/Bal don't scare me much. In 2 outings vs Lamar, McD had a phenomenal gameplan on D. Our defense with our fast LBs and athletic DL is just a bad matchup for them. Edited August 28, 2021 by JerseyBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billl Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Kansas City. In the two games between the teams last year, KC was better in all 3 phases. I don't see how you can now say the Bills are suddenly the better team when the last time Buffalo laced them up they got slapped around and claim objectivity. The Bills swept 3 teams last year. Not one poster here would predict any of those teams to suddenly be better than Buffalo. The Bills are absolutely title contenders, but trying to pretend that the Bills are better than the Chiefs because of what happened during the Superbowl is silly.

GreggTX Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The Madden raters have both KC and Baltimore rated higher than us. It seems like those 4 SB's followed by 17 years of frustration have scared many people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 KC. We have to beat them in week 4 to take that away. I don’t know if we can win in Arrowhead without a few bounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
