Process Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There is a higher chance we don't play the Patriots then we do Also the thread title is embarrassing Yes I am worried about a much less talented team with a rookie noodle arm QB coming to Buffalo and beating us in the playoffs Not as worried as I was about the Ravens last year, but still scary!

Pokebball Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) While you shouldn't look past any game, especially a playoff game, of the possibilities this is one that I consider most favorable.

I don't fear the Patriots and I feel the BIlls are the better team. However, they have played pretty good football this year, particularly on the defensive side. I think it would be a tough game. there could be more options. [edit] much better options the basic point I wanted to see was whether people were confident or not.

Greg S Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Bottom line is there are a lot of good teams in the AFC that are in. Anyone of them will be a challenge. I think Buffalo can go all the way but it isn't going to be easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 honestly, 'afraid' of any playoff team. They are all really good and capable of winning any game. I answered 'not afraid' because I think the Patriots are a better match-up than a number of teams in the AFC playoff picture. id want to face them over the Colts, Chiefs, Bengals, and Titans.

zow2 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If our D figures how how to play run defense against Damian Harris then I'm not worried. If not, than i am worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haze_21 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Harris the type of rb we struggle against but outside of him they are a great matchup for us and probably the team we most want to face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just for that game, but for any game they play, regardless of opponent or location. I think this team will be ready come playoff time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to collectively rewire our thinking with the "come to Buffalo" thing. We casually insert that as if it is another advantage for the Bills, while the reality is that the perceived adversity serves as a rallying point for the visitors and playing at home seems to hamstring the Bills.

I'm not trying to be contentious, but I truly don't see anything about being at home that benefits this Bills team. We have one of the best & most raucous crowds in the NFL. When it comes to a playoff game, that really helps - especially the defense. Facing a rookie QB like Jones, in possibly his 1st playoff game? I'd bet that he'd rather be in New England than Buffalo. That crowd will fire up the D, and likely rattle him. Homefield is still a thing. It's why teams in every sport try so hard to get it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Man Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm worried that the NFL would see that as one of the better match-ups for Wild Card weekend and slot it as the MNF playoff game which is the one spot I really don't want Buffalo to be playing in that weekend.

Franco_92 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm not worried about them or anyone else in particular for round 1. That doesn't mean that they or someone else couldn't come in and smack us. That's why they play the games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm going to be worried no matter who this team faces in the playoffs because of the inconsistency with coaching, Allen, etc. And speaking of Allen, if he plays like he did yesterday there's very little chance we are advancing past the first playoff game regardless of the opponent. But Belichik and the Pats would definitely feast off 3 INT's and are a much better team than the Falcons obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Worried? No. But the Bills need to take every single opponent seriously. Can't afford a mental lapse. They need to push through to the Superbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
