Mat68 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The narratives this past week makes me fairly annoyed. Bengals have the better run game. Bills 4 to Bengals 28. Allen is just too turnover prone and Burrow is much better. Allen has 1 more pick than Burrow. Yes Cincy has a great wr corp and Buffalo will have a challenge stopping them. However, no one mentions Cincy will be playing a rookie and Eli Apple vs Buffalos passing attack. I feel Buffalo matches up very well. I think Buffalo comes in focused and play there best game of they year. Buffalo wins in Cincy 38 to 24. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 6 hours ago, Doc Brown said: Since the new playoff format started the one seed has been knocked out once in the divisional round, twice in the conference championship, and once in the Super Bowl. If it wasn't for the most inept 13 seconds of coaching I've ever seen we would've hosted the AFC Championship game as a 3rd seed. The two teams who've won the Super Bowl were a 5th seed and a 4th seed. Does not getting the one seed make it much more difficult to reach and win the Super Bowl? Yes. Is the Bengals game a must win? No. I think we all know this but with regard to the Bills..............they haven't won a road playoff game yet under McDermott. 0-4 It might matter less for some teams........I think it's basically a 50/50 split for everyone else in the playoffs over that period of time..........but it feels important to THIS organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched every Bengals game this season. I know what to expect. Same as I knew to expect that the Dolphins weren't going to unseat the Bills in the AFCE despite about 6 weeks or so of national media declaring it. I expect a Bills win too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninMinn. Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Having home field throughout the playoffs is a must. Therefore the amount of pressure on me as a fan will not allow me to watch tonites game. I find watching the replay of a victory more satisfying. If by chance the other occurs I can simply ignore and take my chances with an away game where my expectations are much lower. Bills fan since 1965. Go Bills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWei44 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Such a huge game with so much hype and discussion - It's going to be a great game and I agree it is likely to be anxiety provoking. Two minor points that are a little under the radar: 1) This is like a playoff game with its implications and atmosphere - McD hasn't won a road playoff game - Let's end that streak tonight (so we likely won't need to play any actual road playoff games this year except for SB) and 2) These teams haven't played each other in ages - This game will be important for both teams as prep for when they are likely to face each other again later this month.

To which he replied, “This is not a must-win. World War II was a must-win”. Levy said similar when people would compare football to war. Something like "I've served during a war. Football is a game." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Super Fan Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 This is a must win for the Buffalo Bills tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals to get the home field and a bye is huge. The Bills going to a Super Bowl representing the AFC hinges on home field over the Kansas City Chiefs. If the Chiefs get home field through out again it is wait until next year for the Super Bowl for the Bills unfortunately. Because the Bills aren’t beating the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead Stadium traveling to Kansas City everything that involves with a road game? I just don’t see it so home field through out the playoffs is a must. We will see what the Bills are made of tonight on Monday night football in my opinion. Go Bills!

Also, we drop to #3 Seed, we're likely going to Cincy then KC to get to the Super Bowl. We get #1 Seed, we'll only have to face one of the two at most, at home, maybe neither if there is an upset or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s Go Buffalo respectfully disagree with the bolded and I'll tell you why. If the Bills lose tonight they are still in the playoffs. If it is second or third seed I'm living with it. As will the team. I am Not discounting how much of an advantage of playing at home means for the fans and the team. But do or die TONIGHT spelling in totality our playoff run chances? I by no means think the Chiefs are unbeatable at home. Did you happen to see how close the donkeys played them yesterday? SO that's my take. GO BILLS come hell or high water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 22 minutes ago, Don Otreply said: What are you doin being nice to him? 😂 Two reasons. First, the whole game of a playground bully is to try to elicit a negative reaction from you. To try to get a rise out of you. If you don't give them what they want, they lose interest. Badol's will to bully is particularly strong, apparently, but I'm hoping one of these days he'll realize his obsessive and constant trolling attempts are a waste of his time and energy. Second, I try to remember that "hurt people hurt". When someone tries to spread misery to others, it is because they themselves are unhappy or are experiencing pain. I see no reason to respond to the words of a person in pain in a way that would only attempt to cause more pain. Beneath his cruel and insistent miserliness, Badol is a Bills fan and a human being, just like me. I sincerely DO hope that he can enjoy happiness and good health and find a salve for whatever is causing him enough pain to make him feel the desire to spread that pain to others. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) One thing is for sure.. If the Bills take care of business tonight and close out the Pats next weekend, they will have EARNED the one seed. -One of the toughest schedules in football. -Major injury issues to star players all season. -Tough scheduling & weather issues. -Playing not one, but both teams we are competing for the one seed with, on the road. Would be quite the testament to the heart and grit of this team. Edited January 2, 2023 by SCBills 2 6 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it though? The close game narrative that was killed pretty quickly this year is relevant as two of our three Road losses in the playoffs came in OT. This is post Josh Allen draft. To me a road playoff win is just the next check in the box since McDermott has got here. There may be some mental trepidation going to KC but we pry make it a bigger deal than it is compared to the players.

Best Williams Available Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Despite a narrative of poor offensive performances the last month, no one has been able to stop the Bills O from driving and getting into scoring position. They’ve stopped themselves with penalties or turnovers more than anyone stopped them. As long as they play to talent and don’t turn the ball over they should score 30+ IMO.
