Browns fans brought some of that to the table and were very aware of their team's weaknesses and possible ways they might cover for them, and what they would need to exploit the Chiefs' weaknesses (and if they could).
This week it's "we're different than week 6". Okay..... so, they won't play exactly like they did in week 6. [b]Duh.[/b/]. It would be nice to get a bit deeper on their theories with a shred of awareness when it comes to their strengths and weaknesses outside of "Josh Allen is MVP".

I thought the Browns fans were very reasonable when it came to the mismatches. They definitely knew this was a tough task, and while most of them want their team to win (I mean, who doesn't right?), they were pretty honest with themselves with the notion that it was probably too much for them.
But not these Bills guys....you nailed it on "we're different", and here's been my frustration going all the way back to Week 9 when this Daquix guy showed up: They all want to "talk football", then ignore the obvious football questions they should be answering or at least discussing. But they won't or don't.....
I mean, we get it: your Bills have had a great season, have played some good ball, you think it's destiny, and nobody can stop them in route to the Super Bowl (yeah, sounds like the Chiefs in 2018 right?).....but when it comes to the questions I keep asking, they don't want to talk about it or purposely ignore it.
In short, none of them are here to talk football, because if they were, they'd be able to at least (in a rudementary sense) explain how the AFCCG is going to differ from the first matchup.....and it ain't because a few role players are back in the line up or that they are a "different team" than when we last rolled them.
Finally, I think it was on CBS Sport where one of the writers mentioned that teams that won the regular season matchup winner were like 7-2 in the playoff rematch (last 5 years maybe?).... will have to see if I can find that. The point being is that it is more rarity that the team that lost in the regular season wins the rematch. Of course, last season, the Chiefs did it twice, resulting in the 2 Ls
