You’d really like 7 points to take Henry out of the game. Which would be huge given his slow start.

So the government is pushing for more cash transactions. Got it.

0-2 on the road. That’s a big one I hope changes tomorrow.

Lets replace Cole Beasley and Jerry Hughes with 1990 Bruce Smith and Andre Reed. Combined they only cost like $2.5M against the cap. If we are feeling generous, for another 998k we can bring in Thurman Thomas.

I think a huge part of the problem with Rex was that he just became a caricature of himself. He coached some tremendous defenses before he got here. But I definitely get and respect your point. Speaking of retreads, Jim Schwartz is the “senior defensive assistant” in Tennessee.

Maybe Frasier ends up with the Giants and we make the hire.

What hot sauce? Is it one loaded with capsaicin, or a real one? I fancy myself a bit of a spice lord if you will.

Don't want it Monday either. If the Bills win, there’s a quick turnaround for game planning. I’ve heard these interviews can be 4-6 hours long for HC. That said, you’d have to assume that some of this may be performative for Shoen and both are already penciled in for a second interview a week or two from now.

Strong dislike of the interviews this weekend. Really wish the NFL would end interviewing during the playoffs.

So when this inevitably fails, what does McCown go do? Does he go from NFL HC to OC for Williamsville North as his second coaching gig ever? (I am aware Josh McCown has made enough money to never work again)

I know a Sean Wolf. This title throws me for a loop.

Right. I really don't want the team to whine about it and play "clean" like they did in the AFCCG. Come out with the expectation that this is how the game is going to go.

It looks like Dane Jackson likes to try and play physical. Given the crew and the stakes, I hope the team comes out really physical at OL and CB, daring the refs to throw a flag. It is easier to pull back pretty quickly then to try and push the line as the game goes on.

I expect this game to be very chippy.

Pat McAfee is taking Buffalo. Love to see it.

I just went through and tracked ticket pricing yesterday and how they have moved all week. 8-9 days ago people grabbed them for $150. A few days later $200. Now 300 level tickets are $350. I figured I had to make the decision to go, or the cost of the game after the final whistle would make it for me. I live driving distance to Buffalo these days, so I only had to book one refundable flight. Really hoping the Universe understands this isn't a cocky purchase. This is me getting to the game at an affordable price v. not going at all.

Really poor choice of words then. "Then you need to rip off another play with what 17 or less seconds and no time outs to score?" - You can get two maaaybeee three passing plays with 17 seconds left on the 3. It is presnap read, hit your backfoot, fire it in there or into the stands. You phrased it as that there was inherent risk in just getting a single play off in "17 seconds" and with "no time outs". Also weird you mention you thought the Bills OL lined up for pass. Allen lines up in shotgun. But the coaching staff didn't get the team lined up properly? I actually would have played for the FG there. I disliked the decision as a whole. But it wasn't a coaching blunder. Allen made the wrong check and slipped. The OL lost their one on ones. It is what it is

Bills had a timeout. Play looks like Allen checked into a run. So in that scenario, what’s the coaching blunder?

Pulled this from Reddit. But we know the way. In order to win the Super Bowl, we have to lose to KC. This is the 5th time the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have met in the playoffs. The winner of the 4 previous matches has went on to lose the Super Bowl. 20-21 AFC Championship - Chiefs win and lose Super Bowl to Tampa 93-94 AFC Championship - Bills win and lose Super Bowl to Dallas 91-92 Divisional Round - Bills win and lose Super Bowl to Washington 66-67 AFL Championship - Chiefs win and lose Super Bowl to Green Bay

Given the size of Spencer Brown, 300 Browns are basically the same as 900 South-Buffalonians.

Hoping you bring 10-20,000 of your closes friends!

Anybody have insight into how well Buffalo will be traveling to this game? Ticketmaster has tickets at $115 still...That seems dirt cheap for this game.

Maybe because I am seeing a lot of Buffalo specific stuff. But this game does have a National feel of "My head says KC, but my heart says this is Buffalo's time". Even when it comes to ESPN, FSN, NFLN.

What do you mean by hot seat then? Do coaches receive criticism when things go wrong? Yes. In fact you are already ready to, no matter what happens on Sunday. Which is wild in and of itself. The 4th down call, a coaching blunder? what are you talking about? Disagree with the decision, fine. I won't argue the call one way or the other. Unorganized? They came out of a timeout, lined up just fine. We failed to execute. Tennessee did a better job, it is what it is. And to bring that up in the same scenario of the total systemic and organizational failure of what happened in that Dallas game, is absolutely wild.

That run with 14 seconds was absurd. Didn't they confirm that was the call and McCarthy confirmed/OK'd the call on the headset. And they they even practice this play call....without a ref....where the center just spots the ball himself and somebody taps it...Not to mention that the self spotted ball on game day was nearly 2 full yards off the mark..... It is wild that there is a thread about our coaches maybe being on the hot seat with a bad performance, while also comparing it to the biggest coaching blunder of the playoffs so far this year. When Allen throws 3 interceptions in a game, there can be a lot of reasons for it. But I put most of it on the QB...on any team. We have a strong HC who has some leash, who also provides his staff with some leash. Nobody is on the hot seat from a coordinator perspective.
