Hebert19 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 That's interesting. Opens up cheifs and colts part of the playoffs which I'm not crazy about. We would be rooting for phins hard then I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be rooting for phins hard then I think I'm torn here to. I want the higher seed because of ability to play more home games. But I hate our weather and our overall performance at home. I don't really care who we play. And, I wonder how much the Bengals are calculating they'd be good playing New England in round 1. We were in their situation last year and played for the 2 seed. I expected them to play to win. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If true I’m not shocked. With the division sewn up it would change the teams approach. 3 or 4 seed likely not a huge thing to the Bengals vs resting starters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Key here is Saturday night. If Denver beats KC then the 2 seed is in play and we want the Browns to beat the Bengals. If KC wins then we can't get the #2 so it's all about sorting out the rest of the seeds on Sunday. If you want to go to Tennessee the 2nd weekend you want the 4, if you don't mind going to KC it's the 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also very possible. Bengals could still win. I wouldn't be surprised if Chubb is out. He was banged up Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 This could be huge. If the Bengals lose to the Browns and the Bills win...we could be hosting the Raiders on Wild Card weekend if they win their game against the Chargers. If all that happens, except the Chargers win, we host the Colts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about wanting to play in a dome? The weather in Buffalo has almost one constant thing and it's the biggest thing and it's not like it almost anywhere else - WIND Of ALL the playoffs teams that impacts us negatively the most.

Estro Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think the #4 seed is more sought after than the #3 spot due to the higher likelihood of facing the Titans in round 2. I know upsets happen, so it's not guaranteed but the % chance if playing the Titans in round 2 is much higher if you finish in the 4 spot rather than the 3 spot. If your goal is the SB, then it makes complete sense to prefer a trip to Nashville over KC in the Divisional Round. The Bengals sitting all of their guys makes it very likely the Bills will be facing the Colts or Raiders (if they beat the Chargers). I think most Bills fans are going to be big Raiders fans on Sunday night 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamptonBillsfan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Sounds like Joe's knee is not a small thing. It makes playing Indy a likelihood. That is a better matchup for us. Stephenson, now playing makes NE much tougher to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I started doing the playoff machine and it's crazy how many variables there are. We could be the 2, 3, or 4 and host the Raiders, Chiefs, Colts, or Pats (I'm not even going down the road of the non-division winning scenarios...can't bring myself to do it).
