First round opponent scenarios

[mr. tegu]

We are locked into the 3 seed so what are the scenarios for the wild card game? Who do we want to play?

Well, that's not surprisingly a stupid take from you.

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

Capri pants at Arrowhead or Meathead McDermott seething in defeat at losing to Capri pants. Fun times

If Pittsburgh and Jacksonville win, and Buffalo loses, the Bills are out of the playoffs. In that scenario, KC gets the winner of Texans-Colts.

Ideal situation

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

Further proof that Diggs made Allen.

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)

[Coochie liquor]

I want either Miami or the Bills. I don’t think either team can beat us tbh. I was down on this team after the Faders game. But back. Beating the Bridesmaids wasn’t really what has brought me back. I feel like we can go on a run. And Miami is BEAT UP! They’re extremely vulnerable. Missing OL, Chubb done, X is hurt, Waddle, and Mostert are hurt, Tua got dinged. And there’s no way Tua and that shit OL come into Arrowhead against Spags and win that game. I don’t think it will be close if our receivers can get their heads Outta their asses!

Bills, last week it looked like Browning was gonna take over with his legs. But then after getting burned MULTIPLE times, Spags finally put a spy on him, and that was basically the end of that. If he will follow suit against Allen then I just don’t see them beating this defense. I guarantee the team would love another shot after that last game. And we own them in the playoffs.

Gimme either of those paper tigers!

[Why Not?]

Honestly my only hesitation with the Bills (outside of the ol' the Chiefs really are the only team that can beat the Chiefs thing) is that at some point Allen is gonna beat us in a playoff game. No way we win all 5 or 6 of the matchups Mahomes and Allen have in the playoffs over the 15 years they are in the league together. We are already 2-0. Gonna drop one eventually.

The Bills are also 3rd in DVOA and the Colts are 19th. There's a pretty wide gulf in quality between potential WC opponents.

We obviously want the team with the worst defense in the field. Our defense can do the job no matter who's lined up across from them, our offense performs like a Marty-era team for long stretches.

the bills beat us without:

Cook
Pacheco
Tranquill
Smith
Pennell

and those losers Toney and Skyy were getting touches

James barely played

We'll turn them inside out.

I have no fear of the Bills and not just for these (good) reasons. All but one of our games with Buffalo have been close and they just don’t beat us in the post-season. We could have (and probably should have) won every game with Buffalo had we not shot ourselves in the foot repeatedly. Play just a bit better and it’s a different story.

Still hoping the Steelers, Jags, and Miami win though and we play Indy. The Steelers win and we’ll host the Jags or Browns in the playoff round and if the Steelers can topple the Ravens (which, as a divisional foe, seems possible) then we play Pittsburgh in the Championship game at Arrowhead.

Not afraid to go on the road because we were 6-2 this season away from Arrowhead but would prefer home games obviously.

The Bills won't beat us twice in Arrowhead.

They could beat us at Buffalo though
