Are the Bills serious contenders?

[TLO]

I'll admit to knowing very little, to practically nothing about the Bills.

However, I can't help but notice they are now 8-3.

Is this team for real, or just a mirage in this wacky NFL season?

[lewdog]

Fuck no.

[Baby Lee]

They are serious enough to surprise a team that is ill-prepared for their style of play.
They're not brimming with talent, but they're not a team you're going to beat on talent alone.

IOW, a snakebit , undisciplined and sloppy team can get caught out, and a well-coached and disciplined team can roll them.

[BossChief]

No

[Jerm]

Feels like a team that goes on the road on Wild Card weekend and loses....

[MMXcalibur]

Can't remember the exact year, but the Chiefs had an awful Strength of Victory despite an awesome record. Everybody wrote them off and in the end, they blew it in the playoffs (lol).

Same shit applies here to these turds.

[el borracho]

They have to face the Cowboys, Ravens and Patriots. They have some losses coming. Even the Jets might defeat them to finish the year.

[Chief Northman]

McDermott has done a good job there. Ascending team, but not quite ready for a run yet in my opinion. Stout defense, decent running game and downfield play ability. The back end of their schedule will reveal how good they are. Tough games coming up.

[rabblerouser]

I don't know...they run the ball and play defense.

They could waltz into Arrowhead and steal a win just like the Tits in 2017.

[MahomesMagic]

No. The only team they match up ok against is Houston.

They would get clubbed by KC, Baltimore, or NE in a playoff game.

[mr. tegu]

I would be ecstatic if they are our first round opponent.

[kcclone]

Until we start beating physical teams that run and play D consistently I’ll take them serious

[lcarus]

They've beaten the Jets, Giants, Bengals, Titans, Dolphins, Redskins, Dolphins, and Broncos. And they barely scraped by in a good portion of those games. Their remaining schedule has at least 2 or 3 losses. @Cowboys, Ravens, @Steelers, @Patriots, Jets. They're an 11-5 or 10-6 wild card team that has feasted on an easy schedule. They have a good defense no doubt but their offense is shit.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

You seen there cupcake schedule

[KChiefs1]

I don't know...they run the ball and play defense.



They could waltz into Arrowhead and steal a win just like the Tits in 2017.


There are a lot of teams who could do that.

[rabblerouser]

There are a lot of teams who could do that.

Yeah. Like the Titans did a couple weeks ago. And Buffalo beat them...

[Deberg_1990]

Josh Allen is legit!

[KChiefs1]

They remind me of the 90’s Chiefs.

[rabblerouser]

They remind me of the 90’s Chiefs.

With a better qb.

[tk13]

They have a top 5 defense and a nice running attack with Singletary, Gore and Josh Allen running around at QB. I can't see them as an AFC champ but I can see them being competitive against a team that isn't explosive on offense or has a really bad run defense.

[Bugeater]

Surely you can't be serious.

[DaNewGuy]

Josh Allen is one hit away from a drool pan

[Cleavage]

"This is AC Cow...you know who I am, godammit!"

[KC_Connection]

I take it the OP hasn't watched the Bills or looked at their schedule at all.

[Flying High D]

Is that the team that plays better when dildos are thrown on the field?

[Bugeater]

Is that the team that plays better when dildos are thrown on the field?

No, you have them confused with your mom.

[Flying High D]

No, you have them confused with your mom.

You seem like a fine gentleman, please do tell more.

[DJ's left nut]

Feels like a team that goes on the road on Wild Card weekend and loses....

These weird teams have a tendency to jump up and bite teams in the WC round before getting rolled in the divisional round.

The Jags a couple years ago spring immediately to mind. That damn Tebow Broncos team is a good example as well.

Teams with unique styles and stiff defenses can go out there and beat a team that shows up thinking they'll have an easy go of it. By winning that game they get taken seriously by a far better opponent in the next round and get throttled.

So yeah, seems like a team that could take us out in the WC round and then get fisted by Baltimore.

[scho63]

Their defense finds a way to beat teams. They do nothing real fancy. Ball control and good defense and not too many mistakes.

Their schedule has also been pretty weak from what I see.

[TwistedChief]

The Alex Smith Chiefs would've lost to them in the wildcard round 17-14.

The Patrick Mahomes Chiefs will beat them in the wildcard round 35-20.

[RealSNR]

They have Josh Allen.

They make plenty of mistakes.

Their schedule is weaker than Jim Kelly's immune system

[New World Order]

Lol no.

God damnit LMAO

[rabblerouser]

The Patrick Mahomes Chiefs will beat them in the wildcard round 35-20.

I want to believe you...but we lost to the Titans a couple weeks ago. Led by Ryan Tannehill.

We got beat by the Jacoby Brisket-led Colts a few weeks ago. At Arrowhead.

We lost to the Texans at Arrowhead in a game where Reid got thoroughly outcoached by Bill ****ing O'Brien.

So...I'm beat down. My expectations are...tempered.

So I can see this :

They have a top 5 defense and a nice running attack with Singletary, Gore and Josh Allen running around at QB. I can't see them as an AFC champ but I can see them being competitive against a team that isn't explosive on offense or has a really bad run defense.

That's us.



So yeah, seems like a team that could take us out in the WC round and then get fisted by Baltimore.

Unfortunately.

[Easy 6]

Their schedule is weaker than Jim Kelly's immune system

Awwwwww SNAP

[RobertWeathers]

The Jills are not serious contenders.

[Chris Meck]

This year anything can happen.

[FloridaMan88]

The Bills aren’t going anywhere in the playoffs with Josh Allen as their QB.

[MahomesMagic]

Buffalo's zone D scheme feasts on bad to mediocre QB's.

Mahomes destroys basic zone D. Buffalo doesn't have the personnel to match up against Kelce, Tyreek, Watkins, Mecole and pressure the QB.

[DJ's left nut]

The Alex Smith Chiefs would've lost to them in the wildcard round 17-14.

The Patrick Mahomes Chiefs will beat them in the wildcard round 35-20.

Yeah, the Titans squad from a few years back also comes to mind.

There's always some team that you 'want' to face in the first round that got there off a relatively weak schedule, a strong D and a quirky offense that jumps up and beats a heavy favorite.

And it usually happens when said heavy favorite has an unspectacular QB that just can't overcome a weaker effort from his squad.

And that's what makes a true 'franchise quarterback' so important, especially if you don't have a bye. At some point over those 3 weeks your quarterback is going to have to pull his team from a fire. In a win or go home scenario against 3 quality squads, you're gonna have a rough game and it's gonna be your QBs job to win it for you.

That's why I damn sure won't be crowning the Patriots just yet. Now they do have the wizardry of Bill Belichick helping them out, but Brady isn't going to performing any miracles. They're fortunate that they'll have the bye (unless the Chiefs can beat them and then the Bills hilariously knock them off to somehow steal the East), but not having an elite QB anymore alters their ceiling.

[O.city]

They are very well coached. McDermott is a good HC.

[Why Not?]

For the 6th seed? Absolutely.

[TwistedChief]

I want to believe you...but we lost to the Titans a couple weeks ago. Led by Ryan Tannehill.

We got beat by the Jacoby Brisket-led Colts a few weeks ago. At Arrowhead.

We lost to the Texans at Arrowhead in a game where Reid got thoroughly outcoached by Bill ****ing O'Brien.

So...I'm beat down. My expectations are...tempered.


If the Chiefs were ever destined to win the Super Bowl, don't you think this is exactly how it would go? Beat the life out of you as a fan just a little bit more, and then, when you least expect it...

They can beat anyone or be beaten by anyone. It looks like we have a good chance to have a quasi-bye against the Chargers in week 17 which would set us up awfully well for Buffalo or whatever team amongst the Colts/Steelers/Browns/Raiders makes it otherwise. Then we likely have to go to New England and Baltimore and that's when the real challenge begins.

[Red Dawg]

No. They will go to NE and won't score a TD. Their offense is sorry as hell.

[philfree]

Titans can still win their division. They present some problems and I don't think they suck as much as some people act like. They seem to have found something when they changed QBs.

[chiefzilla1501]

They are a product of an easy schedule. Not a bad team. Just not a great one.

[MahiMike]

I hope they get in and are our first win in the playoffs

[ChiefBlueCFC]

Are they serious contenders to make the playoffs? Yes.
Are they serious contenders to make and win the Super Bowl? No.

[Deberg_1990]

They will bounce the Chiefs in the playoffs.

Because Chiefs

[Kman34]

They will bounce the Chiefs in the playoffs.

Shut your whore mouth...

Your head has clearly bounced off of hard surfaces too many times.

[staylor26]

I’d like to personally make it bounce off a hard surface a few more times.

[Megatron96]

I'll admit to knowing very little, to practically nothing about the Bills.

However, I can't help but notice they are now 8-3.

Is this team for real, or just a mirage in this wacky NFL season?

Their schedule is a mirror of the Pats schedule. The first six weeks they played 5 teams with one win between them. And the Pats, who they lost to because of a punt block/scoop and score.

Since then they lost to both the Eagles (31-13) and the Browns.

[Rain Man]

On the Bills-Broncos game yesterday, they put up some stats about how weak the teams were that the Bills have played so far, and then noted that the next four opponents have a record of 28-12. So I guess we'll find out soon.

(I didn't notice the record of the previous teams since it was a Broncos game and I wasn't paying much attention. Sorry about that.)

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Lol. No. /end thread

[Halfcan]

They will bounce the Chiefs in the playoffs.

You should start a thread about it.

[rabblerouser]

Them Bills taking it to Jerruh's Boys.

[Reerun_KC]

They could Easily walk into arrowhead in the WC and leave a winner.

[Deberg_1990]

This.

Josh Allen is legit and they play tough defense.

[Reerun_KC]

This.

Josh Allen is legit and they play tough defense.

But they do also run some horrible plays on offense at times.

Almost Andy Reid level of stupid.

Hehe. Well McDermott is an Andy Reid disciple.

Man, does it ever.

[Coochie liquor]

Fuck you you motherfucker. Can’t believe I laughed way too fucking hard at this. Fuck you!

[Coochie liquor]

The Jills are not serious contenders.

Lmao, didn’t they almost beat that corpse of a team you root for? Yeah yeah I know 10-1.... the fucking Bills are 9-3 with the same schedule, sooooooo.....


They could Easily walk into arrowhead in the WC and leave a winner.

You could easily walk into a women’s prison with a pocketful of pardons and walk out a loser.

[jjchieffan]

I'm hoping that the Bills overtake the Patriots for the East. Just so that Brady and company would have an uphill battle to the Superbowl. I don't expect it to happen. But it could. If they can beat them and the pretender Ravens, and go 13-3, And we beat the Patriots. They would also be 13-3 at best. Not sure who would win the tiebreaker.

[rabblerouser]

Lmao, didn’t they almost beat that corpse of a team you root for? Yeah yeah I know 10-1.... the ****ing Bills are 9-3 with the same schedule, sooooooo.....



To be fair, they had to cheap shot Josh Allen to knock him out of the game and it still took them a blocked punt return for a TD to win...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Good defense, but likely not enough offense against the better teams of the conference.

The Cowboys are mediocre at best. Beating them is not much more impressive than whipping the Bears.

[KC_Connection]

Dallas is trash. This outcome isn't too surprising. Bills are still the same all defense/no offense team.

[Coogs]

I ran just those two getting to 13-3, and NE still is the #1. If NE, Baltimore, and Buffalo go 13-3, then the Ravens are 1, NE 2, and Buffalo 5.

Why is that, though? Their talent is impressive.

[Coogs]

Maybe not. We might be the #3 if we win out. And I assume if we beat NE, as in the mentioned scenario, that we will win out.

[BlackHelicopters]

Buffalo can beat us, plain and simple.

[LoneWolf]

Buffalo can beat us, plain and simple.

Oh really, Mr. Wizard? :rolleyes:

It's the NFL. Any team can beat another team on any given Sunday. JFC, this board is full of scared little pussies. The road to the SuperBowl isn't paved with victories over the Bengals, Dolphins, and Broncos. If you want to win a SuperBowl, you are going to have to beat the best teams in the league and quite frankly you should want to. Winners want to prove their the best vs. the best competition. Losers want the reward without the work.

[Hoopsdoc]

This.

Josh Allen is legit and they play tough defense.

I like Josh Allen. He’s not legit yet but he’s well on his way.

5 incompletions yesterday.

[chiefzilla1501]

If our offense can get on track, you beat Josh allen the same way you beat lamar. Score points and force him to pass the ball. Josh allen is a hard throwing game manager. The only time Allen's been asked to do that this season is twice vs the Dolphins.

[JD10367]

It’s nice to see the Bills finally have success. But they’re still mid level, that annoying little brother who wants to hang with the big kids. They won’t join the upper echelon of NE, K.C., and Baltimore, or even Pittsburgh, unless they can actually beat those teams. And guess who they play the next three weeks?

[Chris Meck]

If we're healthy and focused, we should beat anyone put in front of us.

We've been neither consistently all season long; so any play-off team is a concern.

[stevieray]

No. I’ve always thought Carr is decent but nothing truly special.

He’s not in the same league has Jackson, Josh Allen or Watson. .

Nor do I compare them against each other.

Every bit the league of those guys.

Sorry to hear that. Love the Chiefs, but I enjoy watching great players make great plays. In any sport.

[stevieray]

Sorry to hear that. Love the Chiefs, but I enjoy watching great players make great plays. In any sport.

So do I..but I don't compare them to "my" QB.

Especially after the decades long drought.

Especially after starting one year and throwing 5000/50

Especially after winning the MVP.

Especially after taking us to the OT in the AFFCG against the dominate team in the league.

Especially after hearing he wants to play his entire career in KC.

But that's just me.

For the record, I don’t think any of these guys are as good as Mahomes, but there might be others who disagree, so it’s fun to compare.

Hell yeah they can. Chiefs can't overlook anyone. We are not that good. D is up and down and so is the O.

That's super deep, just oozing with gratitude.
