Don't care how it looks?  Fine... I'll be in the minority.  I care how this team looks... I think it's important to have a team firing on all cylinders and getting Ws rather than lucking into a W because the ball luckily keeps bouncing their way and the refs keep giving them calls.

 

I'll obviously take the latter... but absolutely prefer the former... and I think some of you who are saying otherwise feel the same way.

 

And if you do.... you care how it looks.

Ever hear the expression, “It’s better to be lucky than good?” Obviously, we’d all like to be good all the time and have our talent whip ass all the time, but even the best and most talented can’t beat bad luck. 
 

Ever hear the saying, “Nobody asks how, only how many?” If we don’t look awesome in beating the Chiefs, people won’t give a crap by the next game. 
 

Really, all Sunday’s game means is an opportunity to go two games up in the conference after five games. I think it’s important to keep perspective.

The Chiefs will dare us to run on defense and misdirect Edmunds into oblivion on offense. I sent a emails to Daboll and Frazier.

The Bills can be "firing on all cylinders" and getting wins and still have struggles throughout the game in various areas against the really good teams (like KC). These are not mutually exclusive things. Do you watch the SEA vs SF, PIT vs BAL games ever when both teams are good? There a boatload of mistakes and successes on either side throughout the game. These are not bounces of luck or ref calls typically, they are good opponents who are also getting paid and the teams know each other inside and out.

The jobs of DCs across the league are to disrupt the offense and personnel they're going up against. And some of these DCs are geniuses.

They do but I can't take the Raiders (that defense) or Broncos (the QBs) seriously. With 7 teams making the playoffs, they just need to be better than the 3rd place team in the North (which will be on of Cinncy, Balt or CLE), or finish ahead of either the Raiders or the Broncos.  

 

Their defense is in gonna cost them a handful of games, but not enough to keep them out IMO

I think the bye week is more important than the home field advantage. I hate the new format because there's not enough upside to fight for the #2 seed. 

 

I might do some math on this, but I think home field advantage in the NFL is fairly overrated. 

Want Mahomes at home or on the road?  Has Mahomes won or played a road playoff game? Heck Brady has an average road playoff record.

God I hate the white on white.  Not only does it look bad but it seems like we always lose in those colors.

Bro, maybe you’re thinking of the white shirt and blue pants when it comes to losing.

Well there's a correlation question here. Generally the teams that earn homefield are better teams. 

 

When Brady has to go on the road, it means he's playing a team that played better than his through out the year...so is it the homefield, or being the better team, why Brady has a 500 road playoff record?

Maybe.  Either way getting the 1 seed is important.  Maybe more now with 1 team getting the bye.

With this I agree. But the Bills could lose this by 50 and I still think they end up with the #1 seed. The AFC East is bad bad outside of Buffalo, there are no good teams in the AFC South, while the North and West look set to beat the crap out of each other.

Personally, I'm of the opinion the threads don't matter.  Well, perhaps the red on red matters.  Those should be used to change the oil in the team buses.

They matter. Not a huge amount, but they matter.  sometimes you feel faster with a certain look.

But you're looking at the opposing guy, right?

[Mat68]

Honestly, I want nothing more than Allen having a game like Seatle, La, or 49ers from last year.  Play on fire.  Dropping dimes all over the place.  That guy takes Buffalo to a Championship.

When I played, and we had our dark blue pants with whites (we generally looked like PSU), I swear I felt faster and that started from pre-game. 

 

My track coach used to have a thing about making sure we didn't look sloppy in practice or meets "you look good, you feel good, you perform better".

I didn't think you were serious.  Sorry

haha its all good. It's pretty damn silly honestly. But you definitely see players have certain looks which they think makes them play better. It's pure superstition which disguises ones own psychological games they play on themselves. 

 

I mean stefon diggs arms sleeves are always rolled into his shoulder pads, presumably because he thinks it's more aerodynamic or maybe makes it harder for DBs to grab him or something.

Let the fleas of a thousand yaks invade Mahome's strap, and let his arms be too short to scratch him.
