Great thread. All the winners have realized this lesson. How many times we’ve seen Brady and Mahomes have bad regular season losses before cruising in the playoffs. I always think about Eli Manning. Those Giants teams were the epitome of wild card mediocrity. But 2 Super Bowl runs. Just get to the playoffs. And luckily, our division sucks to bail us out this year.

I had the same thought right after the kick. But right after I watched the Bengals kicker bail out a Lamar Jackson game blowing fumble. We’re due for a couple critical field goal misses by our opponent.

Thank you for the objective review. Agree with all of your points. A 59 yard field goal is spectacular and statistically unlikely. Around 20% odds historically.

Peyton and Eli. Same number of rings. One was wound too tight and kept losing to Brady when it counted. The other seemed to sort of care about winning and had all the miraculous breaks go his way. Just saying.

We’re going to win the division and hopefully go on a playoff run. Buffalo sports fans are wound too tight. Too much attachment and identity tied to the team. Symptom of big time sports in a small time city. I decided I won’t be down after any loss this year. Even if we get blown out 50-0 on prime time and miss the playoffs. I’m going to joke about it.

Dude. These people…

You don’t get it. Scared people.

Convinced the Bills have never won a Super Bowl due to the insane attachment the fanbase has to winning. It tenses everyone up. The negative nancies are more attached than the more optimistic fans it seems.

Politics. If you haven't already, watch the undercover video of the Commanders VP of Content talking about the league and how all this stuff is for show. Nobody actually cares. https://apnews.com/article/washington-commanders-enteen-employee-suspended-05bd97f3aa1d40b836ae93759b360252

We would just delay his suspension later into the year when the games are more important. Just get it over with now and have Miller healthy for the playoff run/playoffs.

It’s all mental. Some guys pull through. Other guys…

I knew McDermott was pro-Al Qaeda the moment we introduced him at the press conference in 2017.

“Man up and grow a pair you big babies. We’re 3-14”. McDermott after hearing he can use a 1st overall pick on a DB.

We're still 3-1." Togogo to TwoBillsDrive after the 9/29/24 Ravens trick play debacle.

You’re gonna miss the 2nd half comeback.

They’re afraid Mahomes will take out their ACL if they don’t give him enough props.

Mahomes has been the 2nd best QB in the league since 2021. His team is just better. I wonder if you watch more Chiefs games than Bills games…

They should get market value, no matter how insane that number is. It’s clearly what they’re worth. Otherwise that money goes to coaches, athletic directors, and subsidizing goofy college sports.

There’s always one.

We’re due!

Fast forward to September 2025: ”3 rings to 1 brah, it’s not even close.” “Allen has only 1 MVP! Call me when he has 2 like Lamar”. And on it goes.

I've been seeing A LOT of these "Mahomes has the rings" arguments lately. But not much else. For those that have actually watched the games, it's clear that it's not Allen vs Mahomes but Bills vs Chiefs. Ever since 2021, It's been Allen > Mahomes and Bills < Chiefs. Once Bills = Chiefs or Bills > Chiefs, it's over. Mahomes will fall back in the Lamar/Burrow category and Allen will be sole #1 as he has been since 2021.

With the way Allen is trending, don't be surprised if there will be more than 1. I'm looking at that EPA chart, and we're beginning to see Allen break out as not just the #1 QB, but a standard deviation above whoever #2 is. That's what it looks like when a high-end HOF/GOAT begins to enter their prime. Lots of casual fans are calling him Mr. September, but anybody who's watched Allen over the years knows that this feels different. It's all starting to come together. It reminds me of the Kobe stories where he worked so hard for so long that he got so far ahead of everybody else, that it wasn't possible for any player to have a "great summer" and get to his level. We might be seeing that with Allen now.

It's beginning to look like Tyreek was replaceable, but Kelce was not.
