Steptide Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWei44 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Not sure about getting to Superbowl but a somewhat underrated aspect of the Bills recent success is the defense. If the D continues its current trajectory, and the O gets a bit more on track, we'll be a tough out, especially in Buffalo. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The Bills haven't been blown out once this year. Every loss (and many wins) have been incredibly close. I'd really like our odds. I mean, I always do - but we seem to be getting healthier at a time when most of the other contenders are having injury issues, and if we get the 2 seed, we may end up playing at home the whole way. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiamioh Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 They’re too inconsistent for me to truly believe a Super Bowl run is coming. Hell, I could see them blowing it on Sunday and not even getting in. That being said, if they “get right” offensively this week and in the wild card round while the D still plays tough, anything can happen. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I don’t think any team is confident they’ll get to the Super Bowl. Certainly San Fran and B’more are quality 1st seeds. But this season has taught every team that nothings guaranteed. Right now, I’ll just be thrilled if we win Sunday night. Even if we clinch a berth earlier in the day. Cinci came into our House last year and slapped us around in front of our Mothers. Confidence isn’t required, imo. Grit & determination is. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoteam Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If the Bills get in the playoffs, I think all bets are off. Even if they lose in Miami Sunday and have to play Miami again in round 1. Everyone is saying Baltimore this and Baltimore that. They are good, but the Bills have always gameplanned against them very well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julian Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If Bills are the 2 seed I’m 80% they make the AFC title game,, if they go on the road to Baltimore then 50% they make it to the superbowl.,.

Wizard Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Put it this way......I am more worried about this team beating itself like they always seem to do in the Playoffs in some way, shape, or form than I am about a team just beating us because they are superior. Yes, the Ravens are playing great. But am I afraid that they are so good they will just run through us? No. I am more worried about McDermott wasting TOs or challenging stupid plays, or not going for it at the right times than I am of another team just beating us because they are that mich better. I am more worried about our offense not being able to move the ball because they can never scheme open their best WR or run it from the shotgun with Murray right into a lineman's back on 4th and 1 and not just using the tush push. I am worried that Allen might just have one of those days like he had Sunday where the ball just doesn't come out of his hand right and he just misses guys that are open. I am worried about taking the lead with a minute left and the defense not being able to close the game when needed the most. So, all that said, I am more worried about us and what we do than other teams just flat out outplaying us. Of course that could happen, but it's not what I am focused on or worried about the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills get in they are more than capable of running the table. Of course the path is easier as a 2 seed. I'm a bit concerned about the Bills offense and special teams. Both have been pretty inconsistent. I think the defense is starting to peak. D Jones and AJ back really helps. Douglas was a great addition that was badly needed. McD D has been good at finishing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

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).

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...

Aussie Joe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Is this the biggest regular season game in years ?

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?
