Success

This game is giving me a lot of hope right now. But we NEED a receiver if we're really going to go for the title. We can see what Josh can do w/ Kincaid - we need a receiver like that too.

Cole Bishop proving everyone wrong. LOVE to see it.

That was RIDICULOUS.

The CB covering Coleman couldn't have done better even if he had been standing still. He's really veering strongly into "bust" territory.

How many times does Allen have to scramble around looking for ANYONE to get open before Beane realizes we need a guy who can separate? We have to make a trade this week if we're serious about a title this year.

Today was annoying. The whole last month+ has been annoying. At least Maye showed a bit of regression today. Awesome 1st half but pretty bad after that.

That was a brutal loss for the Blue Jays. So many chances. So many close, close plays - especially the bottom of the 9th.

Well, they do have a worse record. They realistically might not win their division. Maybe they are. But it seems like recency bias to draw that conclusion.

I think the Chiefs are a little better than us this year. But I'm not sure if that matters when it comes to this match-up. So far, I think our Bills have been in a bit of sleepwalk mode - but this game always brings out their best. This is a "whoever has the ball last" game, imo.

Reminder, fellas (and ladies): once again, our team is one of 2 teams in THE marquee game not just of this Sunday, but of the season. And it is always a classic, and anyone out there who is a fan of football will be watching. Wasn't that long ago we were stuck in 1:00 game every Sunday, that only our fans & fans of the other team watched. These are the good times.

I love that Steve Smith quote about Keon, and that Keon saw that. If he doesn't dig in tomorrow with absolutely fierce "how ya like me now?" energy, then he probably won't pan out. I think he has it in him, though.

Gotta say - I love the "when" in that post.

No one outside of Buffalo really acknowledges it - the focus is more about the futility than the accomplishment. Can't speak for the fanbase, but it's nothing I brag about or care about. The only reason I don't want KC to match it is because it probably means they beat us again in the playoffs. Which is actually kind of unthinkable but of course could happen.

I relate to this, but I've really tried to re-set. We had an incredibly long drought where a season like this - where we are still considered one of the top contenders for a title - would have been the stuff of wild, irrational daydreams. A big part of enjoying any sport is setting expectations aside and just being in the moment. We have the marquee game on Sunday, it has big implications for the AFC's 1 seed, and we still get to watch Josh Allen play football every week.

Health has been a real issue for our secondary this year.

You know what I hate? I hate the completely uninformed takes that Allen "can't beat Mahomes in the playoffs." Allen can't beat Spags & Reid. Allen can't beat a defense that is consistently better - by a significant margin - than the one on his team. Allen can't tell the kicker to squib it when he puts his team ahead with 13 seconds left in a game. Allen can't catch the ball Kincaid couldn't reel in, or make the officials spot the ball correctly on a 4th down he made. Allen can't block Chris Jones, or make a FG that his kicker missed that would have tied a game. Allen doesn't play Mahomes. They're never on the field together.

Hamstring, I believe. We'll miss him, but as some have pointed out, Milano & Bernard are probably better for what the Chiefs do.

I can never celebrate fans being miserable like that crowd is. Man, that's a tough watch when they pan to the crowd.

The teams they've beaten. We're their only good win, and that was a silly kind of game w/ the turnovers & penalties. Any other ref crew & that's a Bills win (imo).

I'm going to irrationally believe that this is what they're doing.

Falcons are pretty banged up, and it's in New England. I expect a few wheels to fall off of the imaginary Patriots resurgence - but my hunch is that they pull out a W on Sunday and the media continues the "they're back!" frenzy.

That kind of stings to read. So disappointing. I have a sliver of hope still - but not much more than that. We've had too many misses in the early rounds.

In my head, we're doing our post "Hail Murray" run. If you need a reminder, that was an October loss - and we won every game after that until we lost in the playoffs. I can't tell if it's wishful thinking, or some weird faith that this team hasn't shown what they're fully capable of - but this game is important for that inner narrative I have going. That run was the most fun I've had as a Bills fan. If they get past KC, something similar looks realistic.

One thing people forget about that game is that our top 4 receivers all had significant injuries, including Diggs w/ an oblique and Beasley w/ a leg fracture.

I'm choosing heart over brain, Bills 31 Chiefs 27
