Like I alluded to earlier...the fact Buffalo went 6-4 to end the season is not a good sign. They were 2-4 from Nov. 7 to Dec 12th.
They pissed away the easiest path to HFA in recent memory...
I agree, Buffalo should have been the #1 seed and choked it away. But they did crush the Chiefs at Arrowhead this season. We will see if KC can get revenge. It will be pretty disappointing if the Chiefs play as poorly as they did last time. [Reply]

Even Bills homers aren’t talking about that game. They know it was a fluke and not at all representative of the current team. [Reply]

They played KC when they were completely out of sorts...had a pick six...not because of some outstanding play...but because the ball bounced off Hills hands.
Then an illegitimate roughing call negated an Allen interception...
Those two plays dictated the outcome...along with Sorenson letting Knox blow by him. I had forgotten about the KO return fumble...at the beginning.
Things fell their way in an uncharacteristic way....I wouldn't feel comfortable banking on a repeat of that chain of events.
I think this game mirrors the AFCCG...and remember, KC spotted them 9 points in that one. [Reply]

They pissed away the easiest path to HFA in recent memory...3 months ago and looking at their remaining schedule...I didn't think there was any realistic path for KC to land the #2 seed.
When they lose on Sunday...they can only blame themselves.
I remember looking at their schedule after they beat a watered down version of KC in October and thinking dear lord there is only one or two games remaining on their schedule they might lose. They should have easily secured HFA. Shock might hit the system early in the game Sunday when you havent played a QB in months even near Mahomes level. I think that is one enormous point being ignored. Those corners are untested. [Reply]
I feel that us and them are pretty evenly matched on offense but we do have Kelce so we have a small edge at TE for sure but this game will come down to defense, in particular QB pressure. [Reply]

It would not take much for Buffalo to win again. They don’t need flukey turnovers by KC. Just look at the Cincy game. Zero turnovers by KC and a loss. Refs helped Cincy in a few spots, but KC defense was also pretty terrible. Buffalo offense is good enough to win a shootout. [Reply]

The defense was not terrible. Chase and Burrow were just fantastic.
Buffalo doesn't have a WR like Chase. Or Higgins for that matter. No, Diggs does not present the matchup issue that Chase did. [Reply]
I want the Bills to win the Super Bowl. Bills Mafia and The Dawg Pound have an unwritten pact to support one another unless they face each other in a game. These are the rules. #LakeErieBrospic.twitter.com/acC26uSjGK
