Division Round Opponent: Chiefs, Titans or Bills

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Everyone's hyping the chiefs today in the media. Bring them on! I want a rematch.

They will obviously be ready to play whoever it is. I would personally like to see Tennessee as playing in the cold could be a problem for them. The Bills for a third time could be a challenge as anytime you play a team for the third time in a season anything could happen you have enough film and experience playing each other. With KC we have a lot of unfinished business with them but I cant see them beating us for a second time this season at Gillette Stadium especially with Andy Reid and his horrible clock management. I think we will be in for a good game no matter who we play in the divisional round.

Seems highly unlikely that the Bills beat JAX in JAX.

Between KCY and TEN, I think I'd prefer TEN. The Pats haven't played them in awhile, and TEN doesn't know the Pats very well. But it seems unlikely to me that the Titans beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead.

So, it seems almost inevitable that the Pats get a second shot hosting the Chiefs.

And, it sees to me that nearly all the issues the Pats had that made for that alarmingly lopsided wk-1 defeat have been fixed. Probably a fairly tough game/decent test, tat the Pats should win and cover, thereby making Vegas some money, especially if KC blows out the Titans in the WC round.

And don't forget, KC is missing Eric Berry, the man who pretty much shut down Gronk, single-handedly. Gronk is probably going to be the difference maker should we face them again.

There was a lot of breakdown in coverage in that game. It won't happen again. At least you would think.

Titans will probably beat Chiefs.

Titans have a good run defense, #4 in the league in rush yards allowed p/g and #4 in yards per attempt and they allowed a league low 5 rushing TD.


I also think Titans are helped by playing 2 playoff-eqsue games the last 2 weeks. Played a close game against the #3 seed in the NFC last week and beat the #3 seed in the AFC who wasn't resting starters even though their seeding was set.

Also don't forget Dion Lewis played 6 snaps in that game and Burkhead who if he is back played only 10 snaps in the week 1 game.

I want the Tit(an)s! Would be boring playing the bills again and kc 3 times in two years

Additionally, James Harrison owns Eric Fisher, and we saw yesterday that he still has enough left in the tank.

 

[RIpats88]

chiefs are a different team from week 1. but they are still the best team of the wild-card teams. I would rank them chiefs/bills/titans.

Chiefs at least have some explosive weapons you have to watch.

If you tell me that you can assure me that the Jags will give the Steelers all they can handle, and might even win, I'll take the Titans.

What more proof do you need that Deus hates that Pats with every fiber of his being, other than the fact that he wants NE to avoid playing the Steelers in the AFCCG, despite the fact that it would be a free week for NE and the easiest path to a SB.

Buffalo is poor against the run. Jags will try and take Bortles out of the equation. Poor run defense is usually a bad sign in the playoffs.

Yep. Here he is making Fisher look like JAG and sealing the game for the Steelers earlier this year

James Harrison's last sack as a Steeler

I’ve had this idiot Deus on ignore for a while now. Not sure why other people don’t do the same.

 

[bormio]

Titans and Chiefs likely to be a “dirty” game (not in the sense of cheap shots). Titans have a good shot to advance.

I never ignore anybody.

I'll give it to Deus, he's been hoping for the Steelers to get over the Patriots hump for 16 years now. It hasn't happened yet, but the guy still believes it's possible, despite literally every piece of evidence pointing to the contrary.

If nothing else, the guy is a true and dedicated Steelers fan. His team is comprised of a bunch of *****es, but it's honorable of him to stick by them throughout 16 years of one way ass beatings by NE.

I would flip the bills and titans, expecially if Shady McCoy is out for a while.

In the event of a match up with KC, from what we showed them in the first game of the year compared to now:

-They no longer have Berry who was the only guy on their team who has shown they can check Gronk mano a mano.
-Lewis had minimum usage in that game.
-We have yet to show our full playbook on both sides of the ball especially offensively.

If KC were to advance and play us, if we can't beat them now then we don't deserve to go all the way to the big dance and win.

The Steelers are equipped to beat the patriots this year more so than maybe ever in the Brady era

More than in 2004 when they actually had a defense and HFA?

Big Ben was a rookie and couldn’t throw over 15 yards down the field. Go away
