If the Bills lose tonight, do you have faith that they can go on the road and bring home a SB?

Well, it's not as though we haven't already beaten KC at arrowhead, so there's one game we could definitely win.

 

Should we get the Ravens at home, we would be favourites for that.

 

The toughest part would be going back to Cincy, yet they would be doing that witha chip on their shoulder, and the Bungles might be a touch overconfident.

 

All in all, I see no reason why it couldn't be done.

 

This team has had plenty of adversity with moving games and weather, so having to play extra games on the road, will be no biggie, imho.

Allen has to be sharper and get in rhythm. It has been a minute. 
 

If/when he gets there the team is good enough to win a SB. Road and home games won’t matter. 

You have this all wrong. Allen is clearly good enough to win a SB.  You could plug and play him on any playoff team, and have a good chance.  The rest of the team if far more concerning than Allen.

Wait you’re thinking that it’s Josh that holds the team back???

I actually think this year if they have to go on the road, they can do it.

 

OBVIOUSLY, doing it in OP is the easier path.

 

What do you think?

Well, being that our guys are going to win tonight…

Absolutely they can go on the road and win.  KC lost at home last season.  Bills first game would be at home and the AFC Championship might still be in Buffalo.  The WC round is going to be tough for whoever is not the first seed.  Whoever draws the Chargers is going to lose.  That allows for all kinds of possibilities in the Division round.

Tonight doesn’t matter.  Come playoff time, what happened in regular season won’t matter.  
 

Bills can lose this game and still reach the Super Bowl.  
 

This game will only decide where the games are played.  We’ve already beaten KC in KC 2 of the last 3 games there.  
 

This is our first game against Cincy, so win or lose, we will have game film to analyze to adjust and be even better next time we see them.  
 

Even if we win this game, means nothing come playoff time.  Cincy will have same film to work and make adjustments themselves.

And, the way they have been playing the last 6 weeks or so suggests they are good, but not elite.

 

They could improve though.  Totally possible. 

1 game doesn't define a team or season. 

 

The Bills team now mentally going forward will define the rest of the season and playoffs.

It sure looked like we were going to get run tonight before Hamlin went down. I just don't know if we can keep up with Cinci's firepower. We may have the smallest of edges at theoretical ceiling at QB, but Allen hasn't been playing at that level as of late, and Cinci may outclass us at every other position right now.

Allen was playing very well before Beasley dropped that pass. But I don’t even give a ***** about football right now. None of us should.

Same.

That game did not have a good feeling before Hamlin’s injury.

Our offense was rolling vs the Bills defense, looked unstoppable, but we did this last week vs Pats as well, and then made series of crazy mistakes and didnt score a point in the 2nd half and of course the Bills are much better than the Pats... no idea how that game would have went.

Such a sad night. i don’t think the Bills and Cinci will be playing again unless it’s a playoff game.  They will play 16 games. The league will return week 18 and i think the NFL will try to figure out the fairest way to decide the 1 seed based on win % or AFC win%.  and we will live with the results and hope and pray our guy walks out of the hospital.

It totally does matter because 1 eats game and 1 hard game both at home is way easier than 1 easier game and 2 hard road games.  I think there will some resolution in place of the Cinci game as well. I don’t think there will be a replay of the game. May even be a “gulp” coin toss for home field.

Crazy after you see them up close that New England came a stupid fumble away from beating them a couple of weeks back.

I mean the chiefs raiders in a vacuum really only matters for draft position for the raiders

 

Why not just tell the chiefs that week 18 won't matter for them in regards to seeding so that they can have a off week/bye heading into the playoffs but also allows the bills to try and get the one seed without having to make up the Bengals game

“Any given Sunday.” On this particular Monday, Bengals were at home with plenty of momentum and were about to throttle the Bills. Circumstances may change a few weeks down the line, who knows.

Just like the Bears were about to “throttle” the Bills?

 

For whatever reason, our defense has been trash to start games.  They tend to settle in after the 2nd drive. …or do you just think the Bengals were going to perfect game us?  

 

Bills went right down the field and were a hiccup in timing between Allen and Beasley away from it being 7-7 instead of 7-3. 

 

That was not a great start from the Bills, but it’s not really much different from quite a few starts to games we’ve seen from them this year.
