I've avoided sports radio, reading stuff online, and anything related to the Super Bowl. An occasional peek at these boards and I refocus towards Baseball and the rest of the Hockey Season. I'll turn on the TV at 6:30, and root for Saquon. As a downstater tough to root for any Philly Team Still disappointed obviously. Josh winning the MVP and the love/respect shown for him across a lot of the Country let alone WNY has eased the pain a bit.

If that game lasted another minute Rams would have beaten Philly. Still holding my nose and rooting for the Eagles

In decompressing from this lost opportunity and reading everything across all internet platforms, the NFL has a huge credibility problem. And not just from this game. Yes, there are trolls and defenders of the Chiefs out there, but a significant majority of "likes" and comments I see everywhere are in agreement that the Bills got screwed. Yes, my coaches always said don't leave anything in the hands of the refs, play better. And Brady got taken to the woodshed, etc. But whether they get all the calls or not, most people believe they do. Perception is reality. It just sucks.

Shocked at how easily Saquon has been busting these long runs this playoff year. Too easy, so think we would have had some problems with him. Think Philly D would make Josh/Cook claw for every yard much like Spagnola. Would have been as close as today's game, although the coaching imbalance would have been less prominent. Could easily lose to them. Josh is better than Hurts by mile but our D would likely have given up a lot of points. We'll never know.

I've shied away from the boards and SIRIUS Radio Talk all week. It will be what it is and I'm trying to maintain an even keel. I have pulled every Bills totem I can find out and placed it prominently around the fireplace and TV. The Bills garden gnome, Whisky Glass, Highmark Stadium Sno-globe, coasters...and of course wearing my Jersey and Bills sweats already. I can't enjoy game 1 today waiting for 6:30 to come. Remembering that this was supposedly a "step back" and cap-clearing retool season.............I'm optimistic.

So long ago...I remember the reactions from a big weekly work football pool. You are correct. I looked in the FB Database and see this was 11/29/98 which is pre-Big Bill. I see Vinateri "run" at the 15M Mark after time expired. Consequently Pats won by 4 and the line was 3.5 I didn't like Pete Carrol either 😂

Watching in front of the fireplace at home in Croton on Hudson, NY. I thought about making the drive but decided to watch from my cocoon. However, I am maxing out on all my Bills totems....The Garden Gnome, Whiskey Glass, Cooler, Stadium Snow Globe, my Billss sweatpants and my Bills Jersey.

I recall when hoodie and Pats ran it in unopposed for a 2 point conversion, many gamblers were either ecstatic or very upset.

Not Bills or AFC related at all....but I'd love to see Mike McCarthy stick it to Jerry Jones. Guy was left dangling after Sunday and a lame duck all year. And Jerry refused to let him speak to anyone before his contract expires next Tuesday. Guy is a good, but not great coach who did a decent job with a terribly constructed, injury-plagued roster this past season. Has won a Super Bowl. Has a very good career W-L record. Jerry always looking for attention and holding court in Dallas. I'd love McCarthy to stick it to him and walk.

I know a few Eagle fans in the triple cities. Some of them who date back to Concrete Charlie.

Caught that. Nice to see. Getting that team into the playoffs was quite an accomplishment.

I was at Shea for OJs record breaking game. 14 years old and with my Dad, who wanted to beat the traffic and leave . I think I was colder there that day than at any winter Game I've attended in Orchard Park

Giants missed out on him because Tommy Cutlets won a few games for them last year, lowering their draft position....LOL

Looks like he's going to present a problem in coming years. Teams will adjust but I suspect he will too.

Because CBS is in a terrible bind Sunday for AFC Games. At least the Bills in the 430 Window provide Josh Allen. Most of the AFC Teams worth watching are playing Thursday night and Saturday on other networks

Beautiful prose !!! Thank you for for making me feel like I was there!

Totally agree. WTF ? Why can't he set up dead center like everyone else? Most kickers (soccer style of course...that's all there is now) ball hooks but Bass fades/Slices. Seems he prefers that hash mark due to that. But man...One would think thats an awful foundation to build on.

I really would love to hang an L on Mahomes and Reid next week but you are correct. Would rather get the 2 WRs healthy and sit them out. I hate over thinking it, but we are unlikely to get #1 seed even if we beat Chiefs Sunday given the remaining schedules of both. And what are our chances of beating KC twice in one season? I'd rather win the 2nd game, hopefully with a healthy squad, even if at Arrowhead. Perhaps we get lucky and Chiefs get Ravens week before

Was a happy drive home. Figured the way game was going I'd be driving 5.5 hours grumbling with a loss !!! Got home 10:15P...went righ to the youTube hilights

Just got home to Croton (Westchester ) after attending today's game. We sat in that end zone and everyone at that end of Stadium was ecstatic!!! About 15 minutes prior We were all there sweating it out that he'd make the extra point

Agreed. Seattle i a tough place to play as a visitor and the first of 2 long west coast trips.

Brady makes me miss Tony Romo.

I'm an Islander fan. Today I think the first time ever all 3 of my teams played let alone won on same day (Mets, Bills)

I umpired baseball for many summers. Youth, Travel Ball and HS. I took classes, training sessions, had to ingest the rule book, etc. It was drilled into me from day one what your job as an official is Manage the game. Maintain the flow of the game as best as possible. Be as invisible as you can.

Lazard every time. Jeeez
