I believe we will win this game, but there is no question we have the absolute hardest road to the SB in the NFL right now. Our beat up secondary has to go through Dolphins WRs then likely through Cincy’s to likely face off against Mahomes and KC again. Yes we can win all 3 if that plays out like that, but we are down to our 3rd string safety and Tre isn’t all the way back yet and lacks the burst against those fast WRs. Mac Jones just out scored our offense today 24-21. We can’t bank on ST TDs every week. We need someone besides Diggs to step up on offense to help Josh out. So again, we should win this game, but to mock anyone who sees it as a tough matchup seems off base to me. It is a tough matchup, and no gimme. Mac jones didn’t outscore our offense…the offense would’ve had two more possessions there if hines didn’t return those kicks and we were in fg range taking knees at the end of the game. I don’t think Miami is an easy win but I’d rather play them than NE. NE has a tough front 7 and they are a bit harder to gameplan against on offense. Miami for sure has better skill position players but the book is pretty well written on tua’s tendencies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 51 minutes ago, TheWeatherMan said: So most likely scenario for us is Miami, Bengals, Chiefs? Chiefs get: Bye, Chargers, Bills/Bengals? That is an insane advantage for the Chiefs. Not only do they get the bye, they dodge the #2 and #3 seed until the championship game. We’re going to have to run the gauntlet to get to the SB. Arguably having to beat the 1st and 3rd best teams in the NFL. Would you expect any less this season? I also wouldn't sleep on the Bengals getting upset. They are very streaky in games from one half to the next on offense. Baltimore had chances today and rested many starters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drew the toughest matchup we could draw for ourselves sure. But that is just Miami over Pittsburgh or New England who we trashed a total of 3 times. But not sure how it is more tough than anyone else's except KC who was gifted the bye week? Why do we always amplify our weaknesses, and understate our strenghts while doing the exact opposite for our opponents? I bet if you were chiefs fans, you'd be making the same comments after the Chiefs struggled against the Texans and Broncos, and yet they are "unstoppable". Besides Upsets (and obviously favoring Bills victories): Cinci has the Ravens, Bills, Chiefs Ravens have Bengals, Chiefs, Bills Chargers have Jaguars, Chiefs, Bills Jaguars have Chargers, Chiefs, Bills Edited January 8 by What a Tuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierlifer Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It’s the NFL. Winning is hard in the regular season. Winning is harder to come by in the playoffs. Go Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue their first round Chargers vs Jaguars is equivalent to our Bills vs Dolphins, while Chargers vs Chiefs is equivalent to potential Bills vs Bengals. The Dolphins haven't shown anything that the Jaguars haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers were in control of that first game then Herbert threw an unfortunate pick six in the end zone because the receiver was gassed from the huge play he had just made and couldn’t make a play on the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew21PA Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Look idc what the media wants to say buffalo lost to Miami by 2 in Miami - we had 500 plus yards of offense - Tua didn’t do jack against back ups - period last game at home - of course they were hyped up and we won - should have been handily but - we won Not concerned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick your poison I guess. We have got to get home. I Got away from my original point. I have nothing against rushing 4. But press the receivers and challenge them and don’t just sit into a deep zone. Bills seem so content on giving free releases and 6-8 yard plays. It’s part of the reason why they seem to never stop screen plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 22 minutes ago, Ya Digg? said: Not to nitpick but the Bills don’t have the hardest road-extremely difficult yes, but not the hardest. You can make the argument that the Bengals have a tougher road. The Ravens with Lamar is probably a better team than Miami (or equal to) then they have to go on the road to Buffalo and then would have to play in KC. That’s harder than what the Bills would be facing I disagree. The Ravens are the definition of “meh”. I’d much rather face them than Miami.

Regular season doesn’t matter in the playoffs. And they played us close in one of those losses. Again, I expect to win. But I’m just saying it’s silly to disregard them as if this will be some cake walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) This was the toughest possible week 1 matchup for us. We designed our team to play against KC and Miami designed their team to play against us. I hope we have a drastically different gameplan than what we've been using against them the last couple of years, and hopefully Josh/Dorsey take a deep look at how they disguise defenses to exploit his tendencies and uses that against them.
