And you missed the game last night? Bummer.
Last night does not equal the second half of the season. Words matter and yours were very poor.

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.

This might be hardest call of the week. Last week my Jim Kelly in 1st half and Kevin Everett jersey in 2nd half paid off. Leaning towards wearing a different jersey each quarter next Sunday starting with Allen’s. Yours??
Same thing as last night. Same thing as last week. My official playoff shirt; Tasker and "It might be chilly". If it ain't broke...

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.

My stomach is tore up already. I have never been as nervous or emotional before a game that I can remember. Barely slept last night, threw up at 2am, woke up drinking pepto bismol to prepare my stomach for what is to come. No way I can make it through this sober.
So happy that this is not a Josh Allen tweet.

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.

With the way the weather changes in wester NY we may not know until 5 seconds before kickoff!
As an example, the Indianapolis snow game in '17:
We parked under sunshine.
We walked to the stadium under sunshine.
We passed through ticketing into a blizzard.
'ya gotta love Buffalo.

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?
I'll give 'ya good odds!

I’m starting to feel blowout. Something like 34-17 Bills win.
I'll have what he's drinking.

Disagree. We already have one too many tributes to violent crime up there. #Simpson

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.

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!

What is the reason to be so committed to the run. I need answers.
I’m wondering if Diggs and Beasley aren’t completely healthy and Daboll is trying to hide it.

It's an absolute gift we got back in the game and actually have a lead after getting dominated - keep it going
No. It’s the result of a good, hard nose football team stepping up to the challenge.

A tough, tough half and we’re in the lead. Keep your head up!

Survive. Now, free Josh!

Color me amazed. JA is king!

This is the closest team in the NFL

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.
