KDIGGZ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 All we have heard the past 3 seasons is how we need to get the #1 seed and make KC come to Buffalo. After last night's game, can we finally put that myth to bed? The only pre-requisite to winning the Superbowl is making the playoffs. It shouldn't matter if you are the #1 or the #7 seed. The goal should be to be playing your best football at the end of the season and have your team healthy. Division titles don't matter. Nobody cares except for the NFL in creating fake storylines where such and such teams are hated rivals. They are all rivals and they all want to beat each other. We had a home field advantage the past 2 post seasons and we have lost the past 2 post seasons. Whatever fake home field advantage they think we have is a myth and there's a ton of things much more important such as being healthy, executing at a high level, and limiting mistakes. They need to re-prioritize their goals and objectives. 4 2 10 3 2 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior9 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It's because our coach sh**ts his pant in these games. He's also never won on the road in the play offs, so I believe you are wrong. 7 2 2 1 2 1 2 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the Chiefs beat the Ravens, is John Harbaugh suddenly the one who "sh**ts his pant in these games", the very same man that won a Super Bowl?!?!? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I think this season really showed us how important that #1 seed really is. Mostly because of the Bye week. Just think, we beat the Jets, Pats, and Broncos like we should have and we are in that #1 spot. And instead of Bernard, Benford, Spector, Rapp etc all getting injured against the Steelers, all our guys are home and resting and we actually get Davis back with the extra rest as well. Look at the road the Ravens have to go: 1 easy home playoff game against a low-ranked opponent. Then the Conf Champ at home, and you're there.

Has our coach won a SB? Are you saying McDermott doesn’t fall short in big games? I can point to 2 this year and 5 really important ones in 5 years .. where HIS defense flopped.

Normally I am a it's McD's fault person, but NOT THIS TIME... our defense was at 50% and we almost beat Mahomes. They were a MASH unit out there, NO Tre, NO Milano, NO Bernard, Douglas clearly not at 100%, Taron Johnson just coming back right before the game... you are looking for some perfect defensive performance when it's not going to happen! 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't be the top team in your conference you can't expect to be the top team in the league. These Bills have never had a bye. The only season the Chiefs have not made the SB in the last 4 is the season they had to play in the WC round. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Homefield advantage is nice but it's not enough to swing the outcome of a football game. I was happy we were finally getting KC in Buffalo going into this game but in no way did I think that guaranteed us a Win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Which is why we can't have the offense choke at the end for a 48 yard FG attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also on McDermott putting AJ Klein on Kelce lol. Wish they had tried with Neal way sooner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlbills13 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Homefield advantage is nice but did the Chiefs have a single false start, delay of game, or even miscommunication on offense? I can't stand Mahomes and Reid but they were ready. I know there's more to it than that but the Chiefs didn't seem phased. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Homefield is nice against Mason Rudolph, Mac Jones, Skyler Thompson, etc.. It's not nice vs excellent QBs like Mahomes and Burrow. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the road the Ravens have to go: 1 easy home playoff game against a low-ranked opponent. Then the Conf Champ at home, and you're there. As #1 you are playing the worst team in seeds 4-7. #2 vs#3 probably kill each other off. Generally the #4div winner is usually a 8-10 win team. you still need to execute your plays. don’t forget….SF, the one seed got the lead around the same point in the game. tampa bay had the ball under 2 down 8. the vulnerable 1 seeds are those in weak divisions with weak schedules 5 minutes ago, zow2 said: Homefield is nice against Mason Rudolph, Mac Jones, Skyler Thompson, etc..

So .. 9 plays of 20+ yards, and 9.5 yards PER PLAY is acceptable? GTFOH PS go look at the giants roster when they played us. We should have lost that game. They were down 6 starters on both sides of the ball and one was their QB. LOL This is the NFL, these are professional players and every team has injuries. 9+ 20 yard plays and AVERAGING a first down a play is unacceptable.

It was the worst defensive performance in Bills playoff history. We would’ve welcomed serviceable or mediocre. It wasn't that at all. All-time bad.

We can't hide from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
