First round opponent scenarios

[Hammock Parties]

Scenarios for who KC plays in Wild Card:

• BUF beats MIA, KC plays MIA
• MIA beats BUF, JAX beats TEN, KC plays IND/HOU winner
• MIA beats BUF, TEN beats JAX, BAL beats PIT, KC plays BUF
• MIA beats BUF, TEN beats JAX, PIT beats BAL, KC plays PIT

We are getting Miami or Ind/Hou

I think we may dodge Buffalo entirely unless it's the AFCCG.

90+% chance we play at Buffalo in the divisional if we win the WC. The Bills are going to win and get the 2 seed and the Colts won't win at Buffalo.

Maybe the Texans might but I doubt it

We owe Flacco a playoff beat down...

Buffalo is missing the playoffs.

Pittsburgh will beat a Ravens team that will be resting their starters with nothing to play for.

Jacksonville will beat Tennessee.

And Miami puts the nail in the Buffalo Hamlins’ coffin by beating them on Sunday night.

How is Miami gonna stop the Bills offense that put 48 on them back when that defense was healthy?

Their defense sucks and now their 2 best pass rushers are on IR.

Have you watched the Buffalo offense the past two weeks vs the Chargers and Patriots? They have looked like shit.

Diggs looks old and without Diggs doing much Allen looks like a shittier late stage Roethlisberger running a crappier version of Sean Payton's dink and dunk offense.

Heck even going back to the Dallas game… Josh Allen had 97 yards passing that game.

Good thing for the Bills that Dallas decided to completely avoid stopping the run that game.

Buffalo also benefitted from "Bad Dak" where Dak instead of getting the ball out from his drop he was just standing there.

Bad Dak then did it again for another week at Miami before McCarthy got in his ear about it.

The Dak that fires the ball right away shows up and the Buffalo game looks completely different.

Holy shit. I just looked up his stats. Only about 250 yards TOTAL the last 7 games...WOW

Further proof that Diggs made Allen.

This is misleading. They've changed from a throw it deep team to a better running team. It's a smart move for postseason.

Not sure I agree with your definition of "better". The past two games where they have been in one score games with bad teams, their top running back (Cook) had something like 35 carries for 98 yards. If I'm off, it's not by much. They are not that good. They kind of remind me of the Chiefs this year. They probably can beat anybody but can they put 4 good games in a row together to make a SB? No way (no way on the Bills. Personally, I don't think the Chiefs this year can either, but they get a pedigree bump)

Allen has been bad but Tua has been just as bad. Look at his stats since our game.

And that guy has Tyreek, Waddle and a RB that's scored 20+TD's this year

This is all true.



However, Josh can sling it a mile and hit a running deer in the head. Tua can't.

And Josh can run like Cam Newton.


And in spite of having the much better weapons around him, and a much better OC, Tua isn't good under pressure, isn't good in the hurry up or 2-minute drill.


So when I factor in the fact that KC's defense has historically had trouble with running QBs and a much easier time vs. pocket passers with below average arms, I have to believe that we'd be a lot more comfortable facing Tua rather than Josh.

Ymmv.
