    Fans comparing our week 6 matchup or any teams that both the bills and Cheifs played and who beat who by this much Yada Yada is totally pointless. This is the afc championship game. There's alot more at stake in this game. 

     

    The better team will win. I've accepted the fact that the bills are playing one of the best teams in the NFL and could lose. I also know that McDermott knows what's at stake and will fight/play to the death. My hope is this game doesn't have any stupid calls by the refs that could potentially change the out come. Like a bad pass interference call giving the cheifs a 1st and goal or something 

     

    ...  or a fumble through the end zone for a touchback with to an uncalled targeting penalty initiating the fumble.

  2. The national narrative has been that Allen is succeeding because he's been surrounded by talent at the WR position.  The data I've assembled here would support the explanation that Allen has elevated the play of the receivers on his team.  Every receiver's production is up measurably from their production on previous teams.

    I agree that we have a talented pool of receivers, but the main reason for Josh's success is the improved play of Josh Allen.

    You’re judging an entire fanbase on some online schmucks. The fans at Arrowhead were incredibly welcoming to our small group of Bills fans. I even got fed some great ribs at the tailgate. The recent success has bred some bandwagoners with bad attitudes, but I can’t say they are the majority whatsoever. One of my best friends is a Chiefs fan and he’s a great guy.

     

    I will echo this.  I have a guys weekend every year (pre-COVID) where we go to a new city and take in a football and hockey game.  My favorite tailgating experience was in KC.  Everyone I met was friendly, sharing food/drinks, playing games and having a great time.  Every fan base has their idiots, but my experience was great in KC.

    Another thing helping us this year compared to last year - our RB's have been vastly improved blockers, and our line as a whole is better at picking up blitzes compared to last year.

     

     

    Good Point - I'd just like to add that Josh's understanding of his protection schemes (with audibles at the line in response to what the defense shows) has significantly elevated our offense as well.

    Trust me these guys are not losing a lead Saturday. That Houston game still haunts them. Laser focused will be the accurate assessment. 

    That "Hail Murray" seemed to change our coaching mentality on protecting a lead.  The comments from the coaches after the game nothing to do with how to defend the hail mary pass better.  Instead the comments were focused on not allowing teams to be in a position to win the game with one score at the end of the game.

     

    I can see that our philosophy has changed from run out the clock to build an insurmountable lead.  I love it.

  6. With the Kenny Stills discussions, it is likely that Beasley is injured, but this will be confirmed (or not) in due time. 
     

    McDermott keeps all information close to his chest until he is obligated to release it.  Every hour the opponent spends preparing for something they don’t need to takes focus away from the things they should be preparing for.  
     

    I am anxious about the Beasley injury but I like the tight-lipped Bills team that cares about every competitive advantage they can get.  

  7. I agree with the OP that the AFC is setting up as the dominant conference. 
     

    An interesting consequence of this is that AFC teams will have the toughest schedules, so the worst records in football are likely to come from the AFC as well.  This year’s Jets and Jaguars are a perfect example of this.  If this trend continues, then the first overall picks will stay in the AFC until some balance is restored.

     No, that doesn’t matter. I’m pretty sure all the savants here say that the most important thing is PD? Or is it signature wins? Wait it’s blow out wins?  Someone can confirm? 
     

    Right @High Football IQ
     

     

     

    I was curious to see what the High IQ guy had to say, with the Bills winning over so many skeptics with the last two wins.  Surely, as a Bills fan, he must be coming around and enjoying this great ride.  Instead he hasn't had a single post since Nov. 29. 

     

    I guess the old adage still holds... If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.  

  9. Great write-up @Shaw66!!

     

    In addition to everything you said above, I also loved the last Bills' possession that consumed the final 7:11 with 14 plays and 4 gut-punching 1st downs to close out the game.  When Pittsburgh was desperate for another possession and a chance for a miracle, the Bills would not let that happen.
