QLBillsFan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Bills KC at home. Take down Patty and show him what the other QBs have dealt with his entire blessed career. Browns go to Baltimore in a close to 50/50 game. It’s not inconceivable they could host the AFC championship. But enough of the hypothetical. The Steelers will make life difficult and with bad weather it’s gonna be a grind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami would be the lowest seed, and therefore would automatically travel to the top seed, Baltimore.  I prefer KC, to be honest. Finally get them on the road, in Orchard Park, in front of fans. They've never done it successfully in the playoffs during Mahomes' career (which is just maddening). No I want Miami in the AFC title game Edited January 9 by 78thealltimegreat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Optimal for me would be Steelers, Browns, and then Dolphins at home. What it's pry going to take is Steelers, Chiefs, and at Ravens.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I know KC is having a down year but I think people picking KC over Cleveland or Houston are insane. They are the reigning super bowl champions and last I looked still have Patrick Mahomes. I like the fact that it would be in Buffalo but I'd still be very worried about past demons rearing their ugly head.  My number one choice by far is CJ Stroud and the Texans in Orchard Park. Not sure they'd stand much chance. I give the steelers this week more of a chance than the Texans .  I'd also take Cleveland over KC. Clevelands defense does look dominant but I'm still not sold on Flacco. Over his 5 game stretch he had 8 interceptions , that would have equated to 27 over a 17 game season, second most in the history of the league. I don't see lightning in a bottle striking twice with Flacco. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hou KC Cle in that order but I agree op, it would be so satisfying to play KC, finally at home and knock them out. They don't scare me at all on o but their d is very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMaster Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This team needs the opportunity to knock out the defending champs that have ended our season multiple times...one in absolutely heartbreaking fashion.  KC is a demon that we need to slay in the playoffs to get that monkey off our back.  But first, let's take care of Pittsburgh...who will have nothing to lose since nobody expects them to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Grundy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The playoff draw really couldn't be better for us. I kind of feel that this might have to be our year.  The NFC doesn't scare me all that much - we know we can beat the Eagles and Cowboys. And Purdy is untested in the playoffs. We will play everyone in the AFC but the Ravens at home - and they have the playoff Lamar factor, while our boys are playoff veterans now.  It's never a given, but there is a real potential road to glory this year in a way I don't think we've quite had before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I want Cleveland to go to Baltimore and let those two battle and knock one or the other out. The chiefs seem weaker right now than Baltimore and Cleveland.  However the prospects of losing to the chiefs at home are not appealing.  That seems like the ideal path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You know what we've all been told about "ASSuming," right? => You make an A$$ of U and ME.  How about we ASSume nothing and focus on the dreaded Steelers?  Or, as Patsy Cline once sang, "One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus," yes, please, one day (one game) at a time, Bills fans, one game at a time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we have a week of cold and crappy weather coming up which I think Stroud would struggle with. Plus McDermott vs a rookie QB.  I don't see how Miami beats KC though. What makes you think Stroud would struggle any more than the norm? He did play plenty of bad weather games at Ohio St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 KC for sure. We match up well with them . More importantly, I’d like to see Cleveland get the first shot at Baltimore. Two division rivals beating each other up physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcam2012 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 4 hours ago, John from Riverside said: One game at a time Pittsburgh is not gonna be a cakewalk I agree. I'm not even thinking about the potential next opponent. This Bills team has won some pretty ugly games. Last five games they have won.  Chiefs: Very fortunate to win. Offense struggled.  Cowboys: Great win!  Chargers: Very fortunate to win. Offense struggled.  Patriots: Very fortunate to win. Team looked off.  Dolphins win: Too many turnovers. Big special team's play was a game changer. Escaped with a win.  Have the Bills really played well in their current 5 game winning streak? The offense continues to be a big question mark. Whether it's drops, poor protection, Diggs question marks, and or bad Allen  The Bills defense has been able to finish out the games. Nevertheless, winning 5 straight is very impressive even if it's mostly ugly. The resilience of the team is quite impressive.  On paper, the Bills are a much better team than Pitt. They should win the game.       Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 15 hours ago, Drew21PA said: Pffff give me Miami!!!  are you guys nuts wanting the experience of kc?  now would I love KC in buffalo?  Yes!!!  but!!!  Miami is the weaker opponent  The Bills can't play Miami again unless Miami not only beats KC but also Baltimore, two teams that have already beaten them.  If they get past the Chiefs, the Fish are not beating the Ravens because Miami not only has trouble beating good teams, they can't win against physical defenses, and the Ravens are notoriously physical.  All their losses this year have been to teams with strong, physical defenses: the Bills twice, the Chiefs, the Eagles, the Titans, and the Ravens.  The Browns have a chance to beat the Ravens, which would give the Bills home field advantage if the Bills take care of their business. The Fish don't.

BBFL Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Pat has only ever played at home in the playoffs, out with the SB.  That is still nuts. He has another one this week and I think another win. Catching some of the coverage networks are doing of teams this week for the playoffs; Miami look deflated. I think there’s a realisation that there defense has just way too many injuries to stop a HOF QB. Now, let me say I don’t think they’ve given up; they still have one of, if not, the best offenses in the league and healthy have a chance to snag a win in Arrowhead… Afterward becomes the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 On 1/8/2024 at 12:56 AM, sleeby said: All things aside (injuries, etc), Miami stunk. This game reminded me of a few others this year in which the Bills' offense handed the game over to the other team whilst also dominating them in time and yards. Jets, week 1, to start with. The bad teams usually won those - jets, pats, broncos; giants just couldn't take the offered win but came close.  Anyhow, point is that we dominated Miami twice this year as well as several previous years. We also do well against the chiefs save for playoff games. Miami is a division rival which makes them more familiar with us and so dangerous. Either game would be in Buffalo.  So, who will you be rooting for next Saturday?   I want KC for a variety of reasons.  The old "hard to beat a team 3 times in a season" rule. The "not wanting to meet divisional rivals in the playoffs" reasoning. I also just think after how "fresh and revolutionary" that offense was touted and how the media built up the Dolphins all season that seeing them complete the collapse and go from almost #1 seed to losing the division and being 1 and done in the playoffs would be absolutely hysterical.  I also want the Chiefs so we finally have the opportunity to play that team in our house, in front of our crowd and eliminate the defending Champs. It almost feels like a right of passage that HAS to happen. I would also like to see us beat the Chiefs so that if we go on to win a Super Bowl there is no "Yeah, well they didn't have to beat Mahomes to get there. They had an easier road".  And I do think KC wins this one. Tua on the road against a good defense is not a good matchup for the fish. KC offense hasn't been great, but Miami is severely banged up on defense. The weather and matchup scream Pacheco to dominate to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think Miami has a better chance of folding in the cold in Buffalo But like others, I sure would finally like to see KC actually play in Buffalo. Â But if we are talking favorable matchups... I think Buffalo has better odds at beating Miami in cold at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkim0904 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I can see Miami winning at KC . Either way, I want Cleveland/Houston at home rather than facing KC/Miami. Edited January 9 by kkim0904 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 bold prediction. if the browns and ravens play in the divisional round - the winner will not win the super bowl and may not even make it due to being too banged up. Â Â further, the browns winning would be their superbowl. the ravens winning would put them back on their normal trend of being the ravens and losing playoff games.
