Let’s talk about Bills vs Vikings
 

If the Chiefs stay focused and take care of business we will win. I’m going to be keeping an eye on this game. I haven’t watched the Vikings too much but from what I’ve seen, they’ve played about as well as any of the upper tier teams. The big question for me is how does the Vikings offense matchup with Buffaloes defense?

To my understanding the Vikings are on top of that "Fraud" list.

I have yet to watch them though and have no idea how they match up with the Bills.

Vikings win 69-0

Bills are biggest fraud team. They played their Super Bowl in KC and now their QB doesn’t have an elbow

The Vikings usually kill Buffaloes and then skin their hides for warmth

They can score enough to keep up with the Bills and they have a good pass rush.

They can definitely win, especially if Allen isn't 100% healthy.

Never heard of them. Are these women’s soccer teams?

if poyer's out they get spit roasted

You know if the Vikings win, that could potentially benefit my favorite football team the Kansas City Chiefs.

Buffalo plays at a different level in their home stadium compared to road games. They're averaging 12 points more at home this year compared to road games.

Vikings have been fortunate to have a weak schedule, including the fact Tua was injured for the Vikes & Dolphins game. Vikings might need similar injury luck to have any chance against Buffalo.

Just looking at their shit schedule and pulling games out of their ass against said shit schedule, I'm guessing the Vikings are far closer to a 4-4 team... and if Allen is healthy and the Bills don't play like shit, they could pretty easily win by a few touchdowns.

I think Bills will dominate.
I have plenty of Vike fans in the office and they are not confident.
But any kind of Sunday, hopefully purple wins.

i puked in class the other day when a kid said that Cousins was better than Mahomes-based on this years record.

8th graders are really stupid

Vikes choke. Always.

Cousins is playing well and they have Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and Thielen. They also just acquired T.J. Hockenson. Vikes are also 7 - 1 and play @ Buffalo. They won 6 in a row but only won against Washington by 3 so :shrug:

Shoulda sent his ass to ISS (if that’s still a thing?)

Bills will win, Satan is protecting them.

The Vikings are a pretty good running team and will stay committed to it. That’s not good for the Bills. They also absolutely have the pass catchers to get big plays. It will come down to how much pressure they can generate on Allen. Bring out the inaccurate bad decision maker and they win.

I’m not sure why people, most notably the media, act like the Bills are some super team. The Chiefs played like shit while also missing multiple starters and just lost by 4. And they just lost to the Jets. The Vikings can definitely win this game.

The Bills live way to much in "because Chiefs" minds. Purple people eaters hate poopfingered peoples

Cousins always plays well in the first half of the season (a couple seasons ago he was the no. 1 QB in the NFL Sep-Oct, statistically), complete with elite passing stats and a great W/L ratio. Then November comes around and things start to fall apart for him.

Plus, Cousins doesn't do well at all if you apply enough pressure/get a few sacks. He's not good off-script or improvisationally, if you prefer. If he's scrambling, chances are he isn't going to wow you with a great play to save the drive. At best, he doesn't turn it over. But it'll be almost a coinflip whether he shits himself or does the smart thing and just throws it out of bounds.

It's just his history. Many years of it.

Bottom line, if both Josh Alen and Von Miller are playing, i'd take BUF to win. Maybe MIN could cover this time.

Then you will LOVE THIS! LMAO

From ESPN+...

Super Bowl favorites: Bills vs. 49ers


The Chiefs and Bills split votes and basically should comprise their own Super Bowl out of the AFC. "Those are the two best teams," a veteran NFC scout said. "They are the deepest and have the best players [Allen and Mahomes]." The Bills get the nod because they are battle tested, have a deep roster and know they are good. "This feels like their time," an AFC exec said.

The Eagles are widely viewed as the NFC's most complete team, and "getting home-field advantage will be big for them," the AFC exec said. But the 49ers garnered enough votes to earn the spot. "Battle tested and explosive playmaking on both sides of the ball," an NFL personnel director said.

It's a noon game so right in Kirk Cousins wheelhouse. If it was in primetime then the Bills would probably slaughter them.

I hate that it’s on opposite of the Chiefs game.
My second tv will definitely be on it.

Buffalo wins this. Vikings are paper tigers.

If Allen plays and is not hampered by his elbow they beat Minnesota and expose them as frauds. Their “signature” win this year is against a Tua-less Miami team. They are winning but not dominating against lesser opponents. I would love to see them beat Buffalo, I just don’t think they will.

Is Allen expected to play? Line is down to -4.5 which I'm tempted to take.

The Bills have rookie corners going against Jefferson and Theilan. Milano is also banged up so covering Hockinson could be tough. That Vikings Dline has also been on fire lately with Smith and Hunter so they may be able to send just four like the Jets did. But the key to this whole game could be Cook and Mattinson. The Bills run defense has been getting gashed like crazy on the ground and it's an obvious area where they could have a very good day. "Frauds" or not they have the tools to win the game and the Bills have lost confidence and are banged up at QB and defense. Yep, this could make good viewing.

I like them!

If Allen is hindered, I think the Vikings have a solid shot.

i am calling it now. unless buffalo can conjure up a rushing game not named allen, the vikings win this game. :thumb:

I have no faith in Cousins

Cousins just can't get it done when the lights come on. Primetime games, stretch runs, playoffs - he just can't do it when it really matters.

Agreed.

Luckily, this is just another Noon game that's not getting any kind of national spotlight or big headline appeal. The kind of game that Cousins and the Vikes can steal if they play well.

I'm not predicting a Vikings win, but it's certainly possible especially considering Allen's UCL situation. He'll likely play but he definitely won't be at a 100%.

Let's talk about the Vikings Bills?

Here's my talk.

Lol. The Chiefs aren't battle tested? They've been in FAR MORE big games over the last several years than the Bills. The Chiefs also have a pretty solid roster top to bottom, maybe not quite as deep as the Bills, but definitely solid. That's great that the Bills 'know they are good'. You know who else knows they are good? The Kansas City Chiefs. The team that has hosted the AFC Title Game the last 4 years and has gone 8-3 in the playoffs over that span. Last I checked, that's pretty good.

I have no problem with them making the Buffalo-SF pick; I get it.

But if THIS is the reasoning then that's ****ing stupid.

I hate this stupid shit. There's no such thing as destiny in the NFL, you have to ****ing earn it.

The Vikings are the Jamaal charles chiefs but with a slightly better version of Dwayne Bowe. They can win but i do not expect them to win against a motivated Bills team. They feel a lot like the Alex Smith teams that had a horrific record when teams scored over 27 or whatever the stat was for years.

I figured you were at least a high schooler.

I watched the Vikings/Dolphins game. Oh man... the Vikings offense was so insanely predictable and boring. It was amazing having players like Jefferson and Cook and it looked like their offense was running in quicksand against a defense that's been very mediocre.

I don't think they matchup well with a healthy Bills team at all, but of course, Bills aren't all that healthy.

he is in the neighborhood of 1-16 on monday/thursday/night games

Pizza ranch guy

They are.

But the Bills have beaten that battle tested Chiefs team 2 of the last 3 times and were a bad coaching decision away from beating them 3 times in a row.

Meh.

And the Chiefs have beaten the Bills the last 2 times when it REALLY mattered.


Until that changes . . . . .

Bills going to be in third place in their own division after this week. Bills fans love excuses though so at least they can blame it on Allen’s elbow.

I still can't fault the coach for kicking it deep. Tyreek had a huge punt return earlier in the game. I mean 13 seconds...the defense should have been able to keep the from driving the field in 2 plays...

KC was a slipped CB away from making that coaching decision irrelevant.

I think people meant squib kicking, and not playing defense 20 yards back leaving the middle of the field open.

Radio show just said Vikings have played a backup QB in 5 of their 8 games so far.

Could be 6 of 9 if Allen is out this week.

Even then the leagues #1 defense should have been able to get 1 stop in 13 seconds.

rFirst, I completely agree.

But, and this is just trivia, but didn't MIN beat somebody last season during a PT game? Thought I remembered that.

And some people will scoff at the whole idea that Cousins is "cursed" in PT games. Whatever. He's lost most of those PT games, and there's no denying that.

Regardless, Cousins doesn't do well when he's pressured and/or he has to improvise. If he can play on time and on schedule and his receivers do the same to get open, he's good. Any part of that fails, and he has to create, forget about it.

The line went from 7.5 to 3.5.

hmm. the 'battle tested' thing is so subjective, I hate using it to prop up any argument. How many times in the last four years have had trolls come in here and scream, "we're more battle tested than you are''?

BUF is the best team in the AFC right now. On paper, they are the most complete team.

But it's also true that BUF hasn't beaten KC in the playoffs in the Mahomes era. So who's more battle tested? The team that's won a couple regular season matchups, or the team that got the W in the playoffs when it mattered the most?

Which team has been to the AFCCG and won it more often since 2018?

From that perspective, KC is obviously the more battle tested team, and BUF isn't "battle tested" at all.

That's amazing luck for the Vikings

Woooo doggie!

Agreed.

It’s KC’s crown until someone takes it from them.

Mahomes shitting the bed doesn’t qualify as Cinci giving it to them IMO. I know people won’t like that but KC was the better team regardless of outcome.

He's not cursed, he's just not a great QB.

Great. Now we're all set up for Keenum's revenge.

FYP

A Keenum led Bills vs a Cousins led Vikings is a much more evenly matched game all of a sudden. It's not like Keenum isn't capable in spot duty.

I doubt anyone with any sense has heartburn with that statement. It's definitely true. We love Mahomes but can recognize he wasn't good in the AFCCG

Buffalo weather on Sunday, seasonal (for Buffalo NY)

Well...2nd half was a meltdown. First half was incredibly good. He had pretty much the biggest gap in performance you can possibly have in the same game. ESPN gave him 98/100 QBR for the first half and 2/100 QBR for the second half. Lol

Yeah, I don't know if Cousins "sucks". I think he's one of those game manager types that can really excel when he's surrounded with weapons. A lot like Matt Ryan in Atlanta.
