Path for the Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC + clinch AFC East this week

[@Sovereignox]

To quote a legend: : "BUFFALO ALL THE WAY THIS TIME!" Go Bills!

[@davebegley3022]

The Detroit game worries me. It seems like the Bills have an injury issue on the turf at Detroit. I would take a loss if it meant no key players got hurt.

[@matthewmolina3326]

Ya Gibbs and Monty are going to destroy us. Don’t match up well vs them. Only way to win is Allen keeps up on the scoreboard

[@DeepThinker-gc8nz]

I disagree, I think the Bills stand the best chance of handing Detroit a loss because of their defensive scheme

[@hairpunut]

The bills also play on turf bud.

[@quinnjackson9252]

I literally just posted the same thing! Let’s take the loss, sit all starters. I still think we can get the 1 seed, no way KC doesn’t lose at least one of its division games and a solid chance they lose to a team like Pittsburg or something. I’m not ruling them out, they find ways to win, but let’s face it, they’ve won on luck in 10/11 of their games this season. They already know they’re in the playoffs and almost certainly won’t do worse than a 3 seed, and we robbed them of their perfect season, so they have nothing to play for yet. Let’s just hope they lose twice and escape Detroit healthy. No point in risking it to maybe lose anyway despite being in line to do no worse than a 2 seed.

[@kpwillson]

Just because injuries have happened doesn't mean anything. Detroit plays half their games there & they don't have any more injuries than anyone else. It's just random chance.

[@CoachBombay91]

Take us to the promised land Josh 🙏

I've finally caught your podcast at the time of its release lol GO BILLS

I'm always torn bc most the time I listen to it in my drive into work on Spotify but if it comes across my youtube feed I can't not watch it lol

[@HenrikXY-x4p]

Joe, I am very thankful for your podcast. And yes, the Bills will secure the top seed in the AFC. Matt Milano will make the Bills even better. Best from Germany! - Bills Mafia Germany! GO BILLS!

[@LockedOnBills]

Thank you!

[@mattrollins7506]

28:33 I absolutely love your trashing of the Jets. And you're spot on as always.

[@giorgikharchilava7258]

Us bills fans stopped feeling bad for the jets long ago. We try to tell them every year they are an 8-9 team at best and they still get their hopes up. Inexplicable

[@Imbadatleague]

Baltimore scares the crap outta me. I like our chances in Arrrowhead this year over Baltimore coming here.

[@Nick-gq5tq]

I agree although I feel if we play again it will look a lot different than it did earlier this year but Baltimore seems like the worst matchup for our team and they are the only team I get nervous thinking about playing in playoffs

[@CoachBombay91]

Couldn’t disagree more. Would love to have Baltimore come to Buffalo. Want nothing to do with going to KC again.

[@alpharob6959]

Why we lost to them 1 time in years we beat them 2 straight b4 that game and are defense and offense is better than week 4

[@alpharob6959]

​@@CoachBombay91why when the bills defense stay healthy we blow kc out in Buffalo or in kc

[@quinnjackson9252]

I felt that way after losing to them, but I don’t think so anymore. We will be virtually guaranteed to get home field advantage over them at this point, which helps big time. We also have the benefit of losing to them, which allows us to game plan better. I think that we felt like the only chance of us beating them was to muddy up the game and make it weird last time. It got weird, but the Bills totally collapse under weird. This times we’ll have a much better game plan, as it’s easier to go back to the drawing board after a loss than after a win. Ravens will try to do the same thing, by basically just running all over the Bills. This time, however, everybody eats has developed, had time to scheme better, seen how every team has just bullied the Ravens secondary, and we have some reinforcements. Cooper, Hollins, Samuel, David, and Johnson especially have really started clicking in this offense, and I don’t think Baltimore will be able to stop them. Defensively, we will also have Rapp, Miller, Johnson, and Milano back, plus some extra reinforcements and a better scheme for countering Henry and Jackson. The teams that scare me the most are the Lions (let’s just sit our starters rather than get into a slug fight which probably won’t effect seedings), the Bengals (who probably aren’t getting into the playoffs), the Dolphins (sweeping them for all three games seems damn near impossible, plus they’ve been playing really well), and Kansas City. We need to defeat them once and for all, and until we hoist a Lombardi, they will be troublesome, for the simple fact that there is absolutely no rule that we have to beat them. Bills fans should know from four strait Super Bowl losses that four almost strait playoff losses despite all odds is possible. We can and should do it, but you never know with those bastards.

[@NextGenNero]

Another great video 👍🏽. Thanks Joe Marino

[@LockedOnBills]

My pleasure!!

[@danno7466]

No bye for the Joe pod. Always great daily content. Go Bills.

[@matthewmolina3326]

I want to get the 1 seed but I sure don’t want this team hurting themselves fighting for it. Save some for January

[@LifeAdmiral]

Joe, I'm far more scared about Baltimore coming to town than going to KC. KC isn't invincible and they're going to eventually drop a game in Arrowhead to Buffalo. We always play them close and if we get a lucky bounce this time, we can finally put them away. Baltimore is terrifying. Styles make fights and I don't know how we stop Baltimore's run game, even if we sit in a 4-3 D with Milano/Bernard/Williams as a heavier personel. That game does not matter where it is played, Baltimore has the potential to just run us off the field.

[@quinnjackson9252]

I said the exact same thing last year. I never will again. We have a double advantage over Baltimore. We have the advantage of almost certainly playing at home, which makes a huge difference. We also have the advantage in game planning. We know what we did wrong last time, and can scheme to fix it. We have reinforcements on both sides of the ball and will hopefully be fully healthy and available this time around. The way to stop Henry and Jackson is to utilize a Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano combo. Two fantastic elite linebackers in tandem will be fantastic. Look how well Bernard did against Mahomes, spying and shutting him down on several big plays. Imagine Bernard and Milano switching off on who takes Henry and Jackson, breaking through on some run blitzes and, if nothing else, at least slowing down the run. We don’t have to fully stop it if we can score points, which I fully expect us to do. Everybody is eating much better now, and I fully expect us to feast on that newly exposed Baltimore secondary. Won’t be easy of course, but I have full faith in our ability to beat them. Our problem is that Kansas City is still Kansas City. They’ll be coming for us, they know how to beat us. We know how to beat them, and look like the better team, but that doesn’t matter. All it takes is some bad luck to lose that game, something Kansas City always gets. Let’s face it, we’re going to play them, I just want it to be after a first round bye and easy game in the divisional round, play them at home in the AFC Championship game. We can do it!

[@menglish126]

Your coach always finds a way to mess up when the moneys on the line. That’s the difference

[@quinnjackson9252]

@@menglish126 Like he has the last four times in the regular season against KC? Sure, he's made mistakes, but it isn't him single handedly throwing the game away. He has learned from those mistakes, credit to him, and is a damn good defensive coach. Not a better coach available than McDermott. Losing to KC by a coin flip and a missed field goal isn't anywhere near what I would consider always messing up anyway. Besides, it was Brady's offensive play calling on that last set of downs which led to that decision anyway. I was disappointed with the play calls- we should've been playing like we were going to go for it on fourth down, and we didn't. Regardless, shit happens, we have and will continue to get better.

[@alpharob6959]

If the bills defense is healthy they beat kc and the ravens

[@dalebechtel8904]

We really have to win out to get the 1 seed. I just don’t see the chiefs losing 2 more games even though they aren’t that good. Oh and the weather next Monday looks cold and snowy. Go bills

[@Joe-u9l]

Snow is easier than rain

[@datboyk3261]

Well if the Bills win out and the Chiefs lose another game then we should at least win the tie breaker and have home field advantage.

That’s how I feel. When it’s basically been set up for them in the past either injuries, a loss to a bad team, bad luck, snow storms, etc have wrecked it.

I miss the days of the 2 seed getting a bye. These 7th seed teams don’t seem deserving of a playoff spot. The Bills playing that wild card week only opens them up to more wear and tear, exhaustion.

Good Morning Joe

[@kentcarmack5879]

Man, never forget, it is hard to win in the nfl! Take nothing for granted

[@larrypearson8969]

If memory serves me correct we have won our last 6 games each season since 2020.

[@coopmuzzy75]

Don't forget we had our hands full with a lesser Steelers team last year in the wildcard. Yes we're better this year too but AFC is gonna be solid this year in the playoffs top to bottom.

[@FlpDScrp]

Joe was spot on about the Jets. Every. Damn. Year. An out of control hype train that I never buy into , but sit back and watch so many people drink the koolaid, only to be left looking dumb like the Jets in the end

[@CMFT22]

3-3... It's going to feel like a different season by Christmas but we'll still win the division.

[@quinnjackson9252]

I do NOT want to play the Lions. Last time we played Detroit we lost Tre White on their lousy terf. I love the lions, hate the idea of playing them, worsened by the fact that every team who plays them loses and loses their next game as well, as they just get beaten up. Seriously, I’m not ruling KC out, but the odds of them not losing two games down the stretch seems less likely to me than the Bills not losing a player for the season in Detroit does. Let’s just sit all of our starters for that game, take the loss which, let’s face it, is likely to happen on Detroit’s home field anyway, and not risk losing our top players. We play everyone for the pats and jets, then do no worse than the two seed. I really want the one seed, don’t get me wrong, but I give us a 2-1 chance of getting it even if we lose to Detroit. Why risk it?

[@jameskfouri1896]

14-3 record should be enough to get the 1 seed. Chiefs lose 2 of their last 6 games. At Broncos, playing at Cleveland, vs Houston and at Pittsburgh in a span of 10 days is a tough ask. 2 brutal weather games on the road and a stumbling but still really talented Texans team plus a well disciplined chargers team that is better now than in years past. Think that means the Bills and Chiefs will end up with the same record and that means the Chiefs will either play Denver or Baltimore in the wildcard round.

[@jameslaclair4585]

Joe, will Keon and Dalton be available Sunday?

[@LockedOnBills]

We don't know yet.

[@jameslaclair4585]

@ thanks

[@SteveLewczyk]

We get it. KC is vulnerable and will need to lose one and the Bills win out to capture the top seed and coveted bye week. If this happened, I'd be curious to hear your opinions on which teams we want to make the playoffs and ideal matchups for the Bills to advance to the SB. Premature? Yes. However, I've been thinking about who we want to play who oncee the playoffs start and who are the best matchups for KC, the Ravens, the Steelers and the Bills.

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

Tua is and will be very very dangerous ..esp with their other WR Jones … oh my … they are good … TUA MVP …

[@lyn2839]

Put down the crack pipe

[@DeepThinker-gc8nz]

If the Bills finished with the second seed today they would likely not see the Ravens or KC until the AFC championship. In a way the second seed may create more favorable match ups in the post season

[@mattfreeman4518]

Since 2019 Bills have always finished with a 3-1 record against their scheduled NFC division. Which makes me think we lose to either 49ers or Rams.

[@reid_dreamcatcher6017]

Realistically I foresee bills 4-2 for these last stretch of games . Detroit and rams or 49ers.

[@matthewmolina3326]

This is won’t be like last at least in the AFC. There are a clear top 5 teams. Only teams with a long shot chance are Colts and Dolphins

[@jcZo23]

No reason they shouldn't go 5-1 the last 6, if kC doesn't drop a game or 2 over the next 4 start resting people, healthy for the playoffs, especially at LB is all that matters now

Hehe those fans, no idea what they’re thinking. Looks at loss to ravens, looks at win vs chiefs, we’ll probably that.

[@thefrozengoat]

Hate to be a crybaby but the Chiefs will do what they always do. When they win the Super Bowl again this year no one will remember that they chose to play all of their opponents close, even the Panthers. They play a unique type of football that is only now starting to be a bit polarizing because no one is experiencing any KC blowouts.

[@StreakSetter]

KC plays 3 games in a 10 day stretch from Dec 15 @ clev Dec 21st vs Hou Dec 25th @ Pitt …….. KC will lose at least 1 of those games. Playing on 4 days of rest is ridiculous. Not that I’m complaining lol 😂
