From reading your posts around here I know you're significantly older than me at 36.... but this is only the 2nd AFCCG I've been old enough to take in. I was hopeful the first one, but kinda knew it was a long shot. This one feels like we're due. I'm assuming your 4 year run has you better prepared.... not me. I wouldn't even say I'm overly worried, but this game has been every waking second since baltimore ended. Almost 0 exaggeration. First thought when I wake up. Every conversation with family or friends gets steered towards the game. Trying to get my 9 year old daughter to really soak this in. Telling her I was a few years younger than her last time we were in a SB, but I don't remember any of them. 31 years

Dont forget dude also played HS ball in a 8 on 8 (9 v 9? something like that). RAW

Doesnt feel that weird when you word it like this LOL actually feels right on brand for the Raidhers

Wow, he was a hot name last year for HC. Anybody interested in bringing him in for a role, a la Joe Brady, in case we lose our OC down the road??? That worked out beautifully really. Maybe that guy is already on staff, but seems like no

They just want him there for locker room vibes/mentorship???

This feels a lot like--- we dont like anyone out there on the market, slap a sticker on this dork for a year, and next year hope their is a better class of HCs avail

Im not even superstitious...... but a dang blatant jinx talking about anything past Chefs is a major faux pas.... many here would appreciate you deleting this LOLLLLLL

Oh you dont like that theres a doctors thesis required to determine what is a catch? Weird, most fans love that!!!

The NFL tried.... the refs acted like besmirched insulted woman and refused to overturn a single one because they didnt like their judgement being questioned. Right then and there they shouldve opened a referee'ing academy like the MLB's ump school, and accepted only the top .1% of the best of the best. Crazy they let those dorks strong arm the league that pays them. Does anybody think there arent a million refs who would push their own mother down the stairs to sniff that job?? The NFL can say with 100% certainty this is the best of the best, cant possibly get better??? Its crazy how Goodell wrecked the worlds most perfect product. All he had to do was leave it alone. Instead hes acted with the swift impulse of ideas as a guy on his 100th rail at a 2am house party

Wishing this to be contagious to your team as well LOL to be a hundred millionaire and have a few month long vacation waiting. Mahomes could work on that golf game too, as im sure hes tired of Allen beating him at the links hahahahahhha I do think most players would be prone to this at least to some degree.... but a good coach overcomes that, and yall have that. I expect full effort when the real bullets fly, but maybe theres a sense of too calm in the lockerroom the week leading up to it Makes me think of this quote "No matter how hot she is, someone somewhere is sick of her isht"

If were role playing fantasies, how about play #1 Chris Jones gets pancaked by Brown and wedged into the core of the earth upon finish. He Danny Glover's it - ' Im too old for this ishtttttt', and makes business decision to play like a lamb the rest of the day

I agree with you here; which is what makes all this all the more damning 2 sets of rules exist. NFL wants the appearance of protecting players, but ONLY when it does not harm the product on field. theyre saying one thing, and doing another. corrupt might be too strong, but at the very minimum its pretty obvious to me theyre there to screen for Plausible deniability with weaker concussions IF the player or the moment is big enough to warrant it.... 'if we put this dude out there, is he going to turn around and run the wrong way on the field? no? throw some dirt on it

Sorry, have to disagree. The sport is coached, reffed, and players grandfathered into the "throw some dirt on it" generation. Its a multi-billion dollar industry. Sure at times it works; but big players and big games are working with diff set of rules... WE'VE ALL SEEN IT! Plays where you're like thewy didnt even bring that dude into the tent? We've seen it with Josh. We've seen it with Tua. Its all calculated, informed risk. Big game and players are juiced to go. Peyton talking about throwing baseline test off Ever see what the blue tent test consists of? It is not quick no matter how fine you are. Yet earlier this season, Josh missed 1 play, and "happened" to come out the tent at the right time LOL Maybe he wasnt concussed, sure!!! But there is noooooo wayyyyyyy that test was fully administered. This is also supported but what all of our eyeball tests have told us.

All I know is 2021 AFCCG; this absolutely KILLLLLLEDDDDDDDDD us twofold: 1. Not only were Chiefs cool with holding the living hell out of our WR's. Our WR's were small. J Brown, Cole & Diggs. Couldnt get off their man 2. Our Secondary Group were playing like choir boys, trying not to get flagged.... when refs had clearly illustrated THEY DIDNT EVEN OWN THEM This WR group is built much better for these types of holds. I see no reason KC doesnt start the game aggressively challenging refs to see what they can get away with. Interesting battle. I hope our WR's and Secondary are practicing for this. We want our guys coached up to hold and grab until flags start flying and we can re-assess. They should be practicing how to hold in a discreet manner.... hell. Hire an old retired ref to consult them the proper way to conceal, and what a playoff hold looks like. Have refs there to simulate this in scrimmage. Coach our WR's to play through it, no flopping. Seems like they punish guys who dont work through the hold as best as they can, by not throwing the flag. For what to NOT do; reference the way Oliver handled that goalline play vs Baltimore looking for a flag. Work through it; show the refs you earned it and did everything you could to overcome the penalty AND make the play

Honestly, if youre talking about just paying for transportation (flight, car, whatev) + Hotel --- and then tailgating to watch the game outside the stadium. That sounds f'n dopeeeeee. Are there any large Bills groups setting up a Bills tailgat for everybody to meet up at? I dont have $$ for tix, but am more looking for some Buffalo Fan Vibes, than I am going in. Tailgating and watching with Bills fans sounds like 85% of the fun as going inside is..... for about 50% of the price

Care to share the details?

Wait so you buy the initial ticket cheap from Ticketmaster now... then check 1 or 2 hours earlier and you can pay to "upgrade", as in Ticketmaster will sanction it.... youre trading your current ticket + $$ = new better ticket Or are the original tickets you bought "insurance" in case and then they'll g2 waste if you do find cheaper but better seats?

Sounds cool. Anybody know if any private lots will invite people out for a tailgate for the game? For either AFCCG or possibly, God willing, a Superb Owl Tailgate??? Itching for some Buffalo vibes but most of my friends family are gone from Buff. Seems like something thered be demand for???

LOL thats actually a brilliant comp. Wonder if MH is old enough to get that comparison LOLLLL possibly not

Any experience with viewing experience on GameDay? Easy enough to get a good view of the TV's? Im 6'2", but wifes somewhere under 5 feet (Asian and yes of age lolllllll)

This is the place I was looking at going to for the first Bills/Ravens playoff game, and it sounded like it was pretty dang difficult to get in the door with people standing in line at 6am. Honestly, thats freaking awesome but if thats true its probably not the right environment for me. Dont mean to be a beggar and a chooser, a bit worried itll be so jam packed that ppl end up jockeying for position to see TV where youre not at a weird sideways/ hard to see angle. If someone else has a better idea of what gameday up there looks like, I'm open to it. Sounds like I need to try and check that place out during regular season though when its a smidge less busy. Mural outside looks siiiick Whats your viewing experience like over there been? Just nervous itll be so over crowded it'll be hard to move around or get a good view of the game

I cant remember exactly, and it might have even been Diggs (sore subject, but quote holds up regardless of who it was). 'I'd rather have a guy out there that you gotta try and help settle down on the field, than a guy you gotta hound to get fired up'

LOL had to google him and still don't. if hes hosting a Bills watch party I'm game!!!!

Early on i thought the "fans are gunna love this guy" stuff was all about how quirky he is --o-m-g shoes give you cancer-- silly camp fodder, easy light hearted story for reporters to write about type. DAMN AM I GLAD TO BE WRONG!!! I think what throws me off the most is his kinda hippy'ish vibe-- and then is just an absolutely diabolical menace on the field. Side note: anybody who saw video of him walking in to this last game.... dude is packing a straight baby arm LOL legend has it the equipment manager had to specially fit 'him' with a shin guard as a cup. What in the AI is this?????

Hey long shot here, but me and the wife are looking for a place to get together with some other Bills fans. Were about an hour outside of Charlotte in Hickory NC. I know there are 2 Bills Bars in Charlotte, but in 2020 I heard they were impossible to get into. Fans were standing in line at like 6am to get in, and I just cant risk that chance of not getting in. Anybody know a more lowkey option in the area? Maybe an unofficial Backer Bar? I need to be around some fellow fans, but also can't be in a place thats packed like a HongKong Subway car. Again, I know its a very long shot, but heres me shooting a shot lol
