DapperCam Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I had very little confidence last year. The whole team was just off at the end of the season. This year if we get in I think we have as good a chance as any AFC team to get to the big game. Is anybody really that confident that the Ravens are going to make noise in the playoffs? This version of the Ravens has had plenty of playoff opportunities and choked them away. We've already blown out the Dolphins (we'll see how this Sunday goes). We've already beat KC on the road (and they don't look like themselves this year at all). Jaguars look a lot worse than earlier in the season when they beat us. Colts, Texans, Steelers would be upsets if they beat us. The Browns are intriguing. Flacco is turning the ball over a lot but their defense is elite. If we get the #2 seed, I would give us a 25% chance to make the super bowl, which is pretty good (if all the teams had an even chance it would be ~14%).

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) TEAM OF DESTINY! I actually feel very confident if we make it in. Feels like this is our year. The one team we seemingly could never hang with is not in. The Bengals. Edited January 4 by Sammy Watkins' Rib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This may be the best year for the bills to be the 2 seed. They’ll play probably play Pittsburgh first and then clevleland (both at home). The only challenging game would probably be Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 28 minutes ago, Wizard said: I think Baltimore and Cleveland are the two most difficult matchups for Buffalo. Cleveland has a solid "D" and runs the ball well. Baltimore is solid all-around. Buffalo also does not seem them as often as a Miami or KC. If the Bills are the #2 seed, they should make the AFC Championship Game. I strangely think the Steelers could give us trouble as well. If we follow the script from the Raiders game where we neutralized Crosby, then we should be fine though. In general, I would rather play a team with a good offense and bad defense vs the opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 hour ago, Success said: The Bills haven't been blown out once this year. Every loss (and many wins) have been incredibly close. Bills don't get blown out. Closest thing to a blow-out was last years Divisional game against the Bengals? Before that we have to go back to the 2021 Colts game? I look at the this upcoming game in Miami and see three possible outcomes. Miami wins a one score game. Bills win a one score game. Bills win by 14+ 1 hour ago, Chandler#81 said: Cinci came into our House last year and slapped us around in front of our Mothers. Cinci has been slapping us around the last three games. That team has our number for some reason. I'd be a lot less confident if they were in it still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Is this the biggest regular season game in years ? Becoming likely that it’s all or nothing … If they get the No 2 seed then it’s certainly possible … but they will need to lift the consistency on the O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somehow it's against anyone else, I think we'd have a legit shot and probably be the favorite. That would be some bad luck if we had to go through the 49ers to get to the Super Bowl.

Dr.Sack Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Lamar has to survive 1 game vs presumably the Browns at home. I assuming we go Fins W, Colts/Texans/Steelers/Jags W, Chiefs W, then Ravens or Browns, I like our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I've been saying for a few weeks now that this season ends with one extreme or the other. Either no playoffs or we make it to the big show. I have a feeling it's the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djp14150 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 hour ago, Steptide said: It's weird, I feel much less confident about the bills in the playoffs this year than in years past. They've won 4 straight, and assuming they beat Miami, they'd ultimately have to win 9 straight games to win the superbowl, which seems unlikely Imo. I mean, maybe the offense steps up big and they become this unstoppable force, but the offense is REALLY gonna have to step up. This team isn't getting through Baltimore (and others) with Diggs having 40 yards a game as a #2 or #6 or #7? as #2….. host Indy/ hou Mia at KC cle at south if Mia can best KC …think it’s possible, buffalo host 4/5. 50/50 shot at hosting championship game if KC wins, buf host them.CLE would be problem for balt. Buffalo could host CLE. as #7 seed…BUF/MIA rematch, then to BAL, then at whose left. This could be harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I haven't been pleased with the way they've played the last 2 games. 2 games that were basically "MUST WIN" games to get to this Week 18 scenario against Miami for the AFCE title and they've looked unmotivated and unprepared. The offense at least. YES! They won, I get it. But the way they're coming into this game offensively and the circumstances surrounding their playoff seeding is very uncomfortable. I want to applaud them for not quitting and making the necessary changes when the playoffs looked out of reach at 6-6. Kudos McD! Although I do take comfort in knowing that the last 2 games are ones they usually lose, to me that's kind of reassuring. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this offense erupts in the playoffs and rides it all the way to the AFCCG. I just wish they had a security blanket win or lose because I don't think Pitt and Jax are losing. Hope I'm wrong cause I'd like to see them come out loose and focused for a major run that puts everyone watching on notice, especially Baltimore who are laying down in the hopes of keeping the Bills out. Yes, I truly believe that! Our boys play down to lower competition and rise up against contenders. If its nothing other than "Win and In" Sunday night I feel the pressure to perform along with a motivated Miami team regardless of who's hurt can pose problems. This truly is our playoffs starting now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If they get the two seed I think it’s a decent shot. A lot of luck has to break your way to make a 3 game playoff run but why not the Bills? Ask ourselves what can go right not wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 hour ago, Blackbeard said: Bring back the old offense we saw with daboll and I feel very confident. in fact super confident. That's the way I feel. This passing game has been off all year. If Milano and our passing game (Diggs) were running on all cylinders, I'd be convinced and confident we'd win it all. There's still offensive issues that need to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) 2 seed - whole f***ng thing. That’s what’s at stake Sunday. Browns will go into Baltimore in RD 2 and win. We beat Colts in RD 1. Chiefs RD 2. Browns at home in AFCCG. I don’t even want to consider losing an option on Sunday. It’s all right there.

Playoffs? Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I don’t know. For some reason, the Miami game still scares me. Wish it didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The team has much more of a gambling big play defense this year that emulates the style of defense that has won the most recent several super bowls, as well as a running game. Like their chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) We won’t ever see a weaker AFC so if we don’t make it this season, we never will under this regime. All of the teams that usually own us, KC, Cincy, Jax, etc. are all wounded or out. Edited January 4 by Governor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If we stay healthy: I think there’s about a 33% chance we make Super Bowl if we continue playing like we have. 55% if we can figure out some things on O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
