Bills legend sees Super Bowl path for team as kryptonite in Chiefs may miss out on playoffs

As the Buffalo Bills prepare to face off against their long-time rivals, the New England Patriots, in a crucial AFC East matchup this weekend, team legend Andre Reed took some time to reflect on the team’s playoff hopes and what it means to be a part of such a historic rivalry.

Reed, who spent 15 seasons with the Bills from 1985 to 1999, knows a thing or two about what it takes to be successful in the NFL. As a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time All-Pro, Reed was a key member of the Bills’ four consecutive AFC Championship teams in the early 1990s. He also played in four Super Bowls with the team, although they were unable to secure a victory in any of those games.

Now, as the Bills look to make a push for the playoffs in the 2021 season, Reed is hopeful that they can finally break through and make a deep run in the postseason. “I think this team has a lot of potential,” Reed said in a recent interview. “They have a great young quarterback in Josh Allen, a solid defense, and a coaching staff that knows how to win. I believe they have what it takes to compete with the best teams in the league.”

Indeed, the Bills have been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL this season, boasting a 9-4 record and sitting atop the AFC East standings. Led by Allen, who has thrown for over 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns this season, the offense has been explosive, ranking third in the league in points scored. On the defensive side of the ball, the Bills have been equally impressive, ranking in the top 10 in both total yards allowed and points allowed.

However, despite their success, the Bills still face a tough road ahead as they look to secure a playoff spot and potentially make a deep run in the postseason. With tough matchups against the Patriots, Buccaneers, and Falcons remaining on their schedule, Reed knows that the team will have to stay focused and play their best football in order to succeed.

“It’s going to be a tough road for them, but I believe they have what it takes to get the job done,” Reed said. “They have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, and they have shown that they can compete with the best teams in the league. It’s just a matter of staying focused and executing on game day.”

As the Bills prepare to take on the Patriots this weekend, Reed knows that it will be a tough test for the team. The Patriots, led by future Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick and rookie quarterback Mac Jones, have been one of the surprise teams of the season, boasting an 8-5 record and sitting just behind the Bills in the AFC East standings.

“It’s always a tough matchup when you’re facing the Patriots,” Reed said. “They have a great coach in Belichick, who always seems to have his team prepared and ready to play. And Mac Jones has been playing really well for a rookie quarterback. It’s going to be a challenge for the Bills, but I believe they can rise to the occasion and come out on top.”

Reed also reflected on the historic rivalry between the Bills and Patriots, which has been one of the most intense and storied rivalries in the NFL for decades. “It’s always a special game when the Bills and Patriots face off,” Reed said. “There’s a lot of history between these two teams, and the games are always competitive and hard-fought. It’s a game that both teams and their fans look forward to every year.”

As kickoff approaches, Reed is confident that the Bills have what it takes to come out on top and secure a crucial victory over the Patriots. “I believe in this team and their ability to win big games,” Reed said. “They have the talent, the coaching, and the determination to succeed. I’m excited to see how they perform this weekend and throughout the rest of the season.”

In conclusion, as the Bills prepare to take on the Patriots in a crucial AFC East matchup this weekend, Andre Reed is confident that his former team has what it takes to secure a victory and continue their push for the playoffs. With a talented roster, a strong coaching staff, and a determination to win, the Bills are poised for success in the 2021 season. And as one of the greatest players in franchise history, Reed will be cheering them on every step of the way. Let’s go Buffalo!
