While everyone practices in the Fieldhouse all week I would make Haack punt into the wind all week inside the stadium ;)

I’m going to kindly ask that every keep their ideal playoff scenarios in another spot. In fact, let’s try to keep this thread focused on the pats game. Otherwise this bad boy will be 50 pages by Wednesday. 
 

Looking forward to a home playoff game. That crowd will be insane and I think our defensive line is firing on all cylinders going into the playoffs.
 

We are relatively healthy compared to most teams at this point in the year.

 

Allen loves prime time games.
 

People hate the patriots.
 

This is fixing to be a huge celebration or an embarrassing night.

Winning the #3 seed and then getting matched up with the evil empire doesn't see like much of a reward,  especially when you see who KC and Cinci get to play.  But bring it on.  I expect the Bills to keep NE's running game in check and force them to throw it around.

Looking at 2022 opponents this playoff run needs to go deep. Next season shaping up to be a brutal schedule. 

The Bills had a very easy road this year.  That does not mean that we aren’t worthy of our success or that it won’t continue, but it does mean that we should not take this opportunity for granted.  Go get it!

Looking like a tough road...Pats, Chiefs, Titans.

That would put an ! on our season and cement this team as a power house in the AFC. 

PATS , team who religiously beat us over the past 20 years = A win would be sweet revenge

Chiefs, Team we lost to in the AFC championship game = A win would be sweet revenge

Titans -  The last 2 games they have won and been punking us at the line of scrimmages, let us not forget the Music City Forward Pass = A win would be sweet revenge.

 

1 week at a time tho. 

 

LETS GO BUFFALO!!!!!

there is way too much time to even think this. So many things will change. Browns, Steelers Vikings, Bears and Lions is brutal?

The Bill and Patriots have never met in the postseason.   This could be the only time against BB.  He is over 70.    This game is huge from a legacy perspective to me.   If the Bills are the division Bullies then you have to win this game.

I have heard that before.  It’s not who you play it’s when you play them, injuries and other factors have an impact.   As well as the off-season when teams will change a lot of players.

Gotta beat the best to be the best. NE was high on my list to play in the playoffs. Would love nothing more than beating the pats and belichick in the playoffs.

I think the Bills will make a statement in this game. Dominating win.

 

Bills beat Pats then the Chiefs

 

Bengals beat Raiders and Titans

 

Bengals at Bills for AFC Title in Buffalo.

 

I am not sure we can beat the Bengals but this is where it is going IMO.

It's interesting how the Bengals loss affected things.  As the fourth seed we would play the Raiders at home, and then likely the Titans.  I certainly like that better than what the 3rd seed gave us.  Hah!

Agreed but that Raider DL been playing scary , so has our DL and back 7 for that matter. 

Raiders can put up points , Carr is having a solid, underrated year. Just got Waller back too. 

It's going to be hard no matter what.  

It's about us. Not them. 

I'm just pissed we were literally a cpl plays away from getting the 1 seed

I was saying this during the Bengals-Browns game yesterday.  I think in Bengals calculus, they deliberately dropped a seed yesterday to avoid going into KC in round 2.

Yeah. I'm hoping for a Pats, Steelers, Bengals run.

 

sorry for the nitpick but I don't believe those paths are even possible... the NFL still reseeds after every round, right? so Titans would play the Steelers.

 

that's why getting the #1 seed is so powerful.  you get a bye week AND your first opponent will likely be a wild-card team that upset a division winner in the first round.

Don’t sleep on the Steelers in KC.  That defense could make it interesting.

 

yeah, they could lose 24-6 instead of 40-6.  yawn.

 

6 minutes ago, eball said:

The Belichick factor playing hard with the spread of only -4.5 in this game...that's a good opportunity right there.  I expect that to move between 5-6.

 

that's just very unlikely.  i don't think you have a good handle on point spreads

New England's effort in Miami was a bit of a head scratcher yesterday.  They made a game of it, but they came out absolutely flat and never established themselves.  I was watching that game on a second screen.  They just looked off all day.

A team that has played a bit over their heads all year is likely to have days like that. They won a bunch of close games.

I was actually hoping that the Chargers would win last night and have to come to Buffalo, but after watching that game last night, I'm glad we get Mac Jones. Herbert was making insane plays in that game 

Yes, I started out thinking Chargers having to make the trip East and their dope coach who goes for it on fourth down in ridiculous contexts, but as the game went along, I thought, well, Chargers take dumb penalties and they make lots of mistakes, but Herbert erases a lot of them.

In the AFC East the last few seasons:

The Dolphins own the Patriots

The Bills own the Dolphins

The Patriots own the Jets

The Jets own nobody.

I feel as though sharp bettors will like the Bills in this one...and if I'm right the line will move.

 

like I said, you don't have a good feel for this.  the first time the Pats played at Buffalo, the closing line was 3 and you could get 2.5 at high-handle places like Cris and Circa.  that means the line has already been adjusted off the very key number of 3 and through the key number of 4.  there's no way this thing is moving higher.

 

to be clear, I think the Bills will win and cover, but my own personal opinion has nothing to do with how the market will move.

This is the matchup I wanted.

 

Not because I want vengeance on the Pats for decades of slapping us around (I do) but because I think we know what the Patriots are. They win by keeping a low score and running it. When Mac Jones needs to throw, he's been stopped.
