BuffaloBill Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Say what you want about it being early in the season and the Chiefs are not what they were last year, this is a new season, etc. The next two games for Buffalo have very real playoff implications. If the Bills hope to lead the AFC they really need to win both games. Remember that the Bills did not show particularly well against either team last year. Also, the next two serve as litmus tests. If the Bills want to step up and truly join the short list of elite teams they must win the next two. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior9 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Yeah, I mean it would be enormous to get a win vs. KC this week. Moves us to 4-1 and them to 2-3. We still have Pats twice, Jets twice, Falcons, Jags on our schedule. It would a lot of making up for the Chiefs to catch us. The Titans game should be very winnable. They did have quite a few players out yesterday but their defense is full of holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like week one's loss was a 'lit my ass' test for the team. 😁 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seoulofstone Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I think the title is a bit off. I would go with win the next two and they are a favourite for #1 seed. At least as things stand. I couldn't question their playoff contention right now, Especially considering the quality of the AFC East 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have quite a few players out yesterday but their defense is full of holes. I’m thinking that Brown and Jones are probably back by then - probably not at 100% but still starting. The Tennessee offense will be a great test for the Bills. They will need to show they can handle a physical run game, as well as a QB like Tannehill who can get outside of the pocket and make throws in chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Our guys need to be ready to leave it all on the field these next two weeks. Not that they don't already, but they need to be ready to dig deep and gut check. After the next two, we go: BYE, Miami, Jags, Jets. Plenty of time and opportunity to recover from whatever we expend in KC and Nashville. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point, the Bills have said it is their goal to be the #1 seed. If they hope to be so winning the next two weeks is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've been thinking all along that 1-1 over the next two games is a reasonably acceptable outcome 2-0 would be amazing though, and would cement our status as favorites for the #1 seed - especially with all of the extremely winnable games left on the schedule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea we'll be 'fine' if we don't win both statistically but getting worked by kc for the third time would be such a huge blow to the confidence. We could go 15-2 and none of that matters really if we can't beat kc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did this game become a season defining game. I dont even see the KC game that way until it unfolds. It is possible to lose that game and still win the division. Looking at any season game as defining the year is not realistic. The important thing about the KC game is home field.

That could happen later in the season or even in the playoffs. The Bills could win their division and never face KC in the playoffs. Only one number 1 seed made the Super Bowl last year. Some teams just match up better with certain teams and not so well with others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills want to step up and truly join the short list of elite teams they must win the next two. Not to sidetrack things or make excuses, but not knowing what team we would play, or when we would play them was one of the strangest things I’ve seen in sports. SO, here we are a year later and much of that craziness seems in the distant past. Odd. I honestly think we can play fine with the Chiefs. Hopefully we click against their weak defense. They have given up 125 points, while we have given up 44 at this thru 4 games. I don’t care which NFL team you’re playing, holding them to an average of 11 pts/game is pretty impressive. And I pray the Titans stay in their funk for another few weeks until we get out of there! I’d hate to get the Titans THIS week after them getting embarrassed by giving the Jets a win! Let’s give them some time to work their anger out before we show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 KC may not the team that keeps the #1 seed from the Bills.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716er Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Only two of the next six Bills games are at home. The Bills need to go 4-2 over this stretch and they will be in great shape no matter who the 2 losses are against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If we beat KC we all but knock them out for the #1 seed IMO. That is huge. Tennessee is a tricky game (I presume their wideouts will be back) but I would not say it is a big game in quite the same way that KC is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
