    On paper here is the tale of the tape:

     

    Offense Buf = KC

    Defense Buf = KC Defense Buf > KC
    ST Buf > KC

    Coaching Buf < KC Coaching Buf = KC

    Home field Buf < KC
    Bills will need to have a dominant solid defensive performance.

     

    Bills offense must finish drives with points and find yards and first downs to win time of possession. Josh Allen and the O must protect the football and leave the Chiefs with no short fields and gimme points.

     

    ST must make more plays and this must be huge. Hyperbole

     

    Coaching this must be a game where we go in with great scheme/plan and have a backup counter. 4th down, trick plays, the whole 9 yards.  We only need to play good football, not think in terms of desperation.

     

    Bille Mafia gotta find some of the 16,000 tickets, we will need at least 1,000-4,000 fans if possible. If not, we must grab an early lead and take the crowd out of it. Bills Mafia is irrelevant here. The Bills quality of play will not be affected by the crowd.

     

    Go Bills! 

     

     

    I appreciate your breakdown and the thought you put into it. I think differently.

    I do not believe that “special things” need to happen for the Bills to prevail. I believe we can win simply by playing good, disciplined football. The past 12 weeks show how good we are. The Chiefs are neither scary nor superior. In fact, they should be anxious about Sunday’s game.

    Holy ***** its funny. Its actually written in Russian but the translated stuff is so funny.   Example below.  Ha

     

    "I am not worried about any teams or footballers who dare to oppose the mighty Buffalo.  Josh Allen has the power of at least 100 grizzly bears and cobra reflexes!  don't anger him.  #BALvsBUF #GoBills #BillsMafia"

    Will now follow - easisest decision ever. :)

    A blizzard of this magnitude requires juuuustthe right amount of barometric pressure. So in truth, in Buffalo, it’s been three-plus years in the making. The search for a No. 1 wide receiver began almost immediately: Sean McDermott’s first draft in 2017. 

     

     

    Thanks for sharing this. I wouldn't have found it on my own and tremendously enjoyed reading it.

    Deserves its own thread. To me, McDermott is hands down the Coach of the Year. No one else is close when you look at what he's accomplished the past three years and this year in particular. To build a team on values of hard work, resilience and mutual trust, I mean, that's brilliant. 

    Right on. Every single word, right on.

  5. The close, selflessness of this team is something I have increasingly enjoyed all year. Another example is (it has its own thread) Jerry Hughes calling out Isaiah McKenzie for his help as the defense prepared for this big, difficult game. Jerry could have just basked in the glory of his well deserved moment. But, that's not how the Bills roll.

     

    Sean McDermott, sincere, humble and strong - a gifted leader.

    Balt played a lot of man coverage, not Coles strength, he’s very effective finding holes in zones, but man to man basically neutralizes him, it always has and now he’s not quite as explosive. 

     

    Davis really has fallen off the last half of the year, looks like he hit the rookie wall pretty hard.  Lots of drops, still would like to see him back running at full speed and be a contributor.

    I'm sorry you weren't able to watch the Indy game. Maybe you can find it on YouTube?

    Here is a great view of the play from the endzone.

     

     

     

    It is so great to see Bills fans being......Bills fans. Dressed in Nanook of the North clothing, unconcerned with weather or discomfort, jumping around and screaming with unbridled love. I miss those folks.

  8. My final thought going into this game is that Buffalo’s manhood has been called into question.

    - OMG, the Baltimore blitz is scary! Can the Bills handle it?!

    - OMG, Baltimore’s run game is scary! Can the Bills even hope to slow it down?!

     

    They are both challenges to Buffalo’s toughness, their manhood. Personally, while we are too disciplined to talk about it, I don’t think a Sean McDermott led team takes this likely. I expect to see a proud response tonight.

     

    Go Bills.

  9. I don't know what to predict about Saturday night's weather, nor how it will impact the Bills' performance. However, I will note this: There is not one challenge this year that Josh Allen has failed to meet and conquer.

    • Man coverage
    • Zone coverage
    • Pressure
    • Pocket passing
    • Reading and recognizing defenses
    • Falling behind
    • Needing to create
    • Staying calm and focused during adversity

    He is no longer a project. He is now an elite and lethal NFL quarterback. Given that, I will grab my popcorn (and bourbon), tune in Saturday night and watch what happens, with high optimism and anticipation.

    1.   Love roberts and think he is fantastic at his craft...but he has also made some bonehead decisions the last few weeks that cost us some field position.  

     

    2.  Mckenzie showed he can handle punt returns and may actually be more dynamic there.  

     

    3.   Tucker can and will boom it into endzone as much as he can with roberts out there so kick returns aren't a huge dynamic this game.  

     

    4.   Allows us to activate Stills.  Stills Beasley Diggs Davis and Brown sounds like a nightmare to cover and may take away their desire to blitz.   3 of those guys can score in a second in single coverage and Beasley and Davis are great outlets.  

     

    We need weapons here and dressing Stills helps with that even if he just runs go routes 10 or 15 times to make them respect that opposite Brown. 

    Wanna bet? :D I'll give 'ya good odds!

    the only complaint I have was the huge sack.  Was it because he was “Sugar High” Josh and should have just given himself up. 
     

    It certainly was not a good play. However, if in a 60 minute playoff game, against a high quality opponent, you feel the need to point out one poor play, no NFL quarterback - not Brady, Mahomes, Rogers or Manning is going to pass your test.

  12. I think this high degree of confidence regarding the Steelers is a really bad take. While our Sunday night victory against them was hard-earned and impressive, Pittsburgh was at a low health ebb. Roethlisberger especially, was playing on a hyperextended knee and couldn't step into his throws or shuffle (a strength of his) in the pocket.

    Any of our three potential opponents are going to be big challenges next week and the Steelers will be just as difficult as the Ravens or Titans.

    The seeming strength of this team are all now sporting injuries. Diggs - oblique, McKenzie- ankle, Beasley - ankle?/knee and maybe even Brown with  some residual calf stuff strain. 
     

    My guess is three will be on injury report this week. Beasley clearly was limping around with a brace and sporting some tape on his ankle. 
     

    This bears watching all week.  I doubt receivers are going to catch much practice time this week. 

    I think this is the untold story of the game. I believe all our wide receivers, save Davis, played less (maybe far less) than 100% today and Daboll's game planning and play calling was about managing the situation.

    - With MacKenzie and Beasley, it their limitations were clear.

    - With Diggs, while he had a great game, he was not working the underneath routes in high traffic areas where he has been so dominant. I think he was being protected.

    If this is correct, it makes today's win very impressive.

    Heal fast and go Bills!
