Success

He will.

It's crazy. People forget what it was like during the drought.

Bitter cold works for us - wind & snow are more iffy. When we had that perfect game against the Pats, you could almost tell in warm-ups which team was embracing the conditions, and which just wanted the game to be over.

I dunno - I'm personally tired of being so terrified of Cincinnati, a team that has looked unimpressive the entire year. If Allen goes through Burrow, Jackson & Mahomes - he is undisputed king of the AFC.

I think it's weird how much hype he gets. It seems like he has one amazing throw every game, and that's enough for everyone. That last TD pass wasn't even amazing. He saw the flag and threw it up for grabs.

Anyone else feel like we're the only team that can keep the Chiefs from a threepeat? We're America's only hope, imo.

I get the sentiment. But, IF we never get a title, I kind of want history to know how great this guy was. I hate thinking that way, because Josh Allen kind of has to get a ring at some point. He's too good not too, but stranger things have happened.

Pats won't tank - but I'd almost want to see them win as long as we beat the Jets. That #2 spot in the draft could help them build for the future if they make a good trade.

Reminds me of when Whitlock said that Allen doesn't have that "dog" in him. I'd love to be a sports analyst, but I don't have the big clown shoes that the job requires.

San Fran would have been the only team to take Worthy. It's possible. But the Bills got Coleman regardless, and also got Carter out of the deal (who will definitely be on the team next year). Both teams got what they wanted. The online chatter about the Bills giving Worthy to KC is kind of annoying, but expected. I mean, they might have taken McConkey if San Fran really did take Worthy - the league should thank Buffalo.

I keep trying to convince myself that our D is better than it has looked over the past month+. Maybe they are? I look at the personnel, when healthy, and it really should be a more solid defense than what we've seen. We don't have a star pass rusher or anything - but the line is decent, the LB's are very good, the secondary is good. We have a couple of what might be considered weak links, but overall, it's not some huge talent deficiency. Here's hoping. Stating the obvious, but defense is going to be so key. We just can't hope the offense can be lights out in every game.

Pats fans like to mythologize and say that the AFC was "so much tougher" when they had Brady. It absolutely was not.

You don't think Worthy falls to KC regardless of the trade? I do, but we'll never know. And I'm excited about Carter. He was only really healthy at the beginning of the season, and he made some impact plays those first few games. It felt like he was in the backfield a lot and he didn't seem like a rookie. Like Coleman, he's had some injury issues since.

I got so weary of the Brady/Manning debates. Pats fans kept changing the criteria - it was "wins in big games" until Manning started consistently beating Brady in the playoffs. Then it was things like overall head-to-head record, and # of rings. Of course on the latter, Brady wins by a mile. But Brady had what many regard as the GOAT coach and usually a well-constructed team, while Manning had 5 coaches, and often had to carry his teams (similar to Allen now). I'd still say Brady was better overall than Manning at this point, but it's much closer than most say it is, and certainly closer than their ring count would indicate.

Go all out this game, get Allen 3 TD's at least, and rest the starters next week. Anyone else kind of hope that the Pats beat our backups next week if that's how it plays out? They're at #2 in the draft right now & can trade that for a great haul, which would set them up pretty well for the future if they play their cards right.

Jackson deserves an MVP w/ this play this year - but he doesn't deserve 3 MVP's for his career to date, with no title or even SB appearance yet. That absolutely factors into this equation.

I swear - every opposing fan on the internet should read this thread. Whenever I check out a general NFL board, I hear so much about how "Bills fans are so cocky when they ain't won nuthin' yet!" (or similar sentiments). I really don't think I've ever seen that, here or anywhere. We're the most "waiting for the other shoe to drop" fanbase out there.

I'd even call it one of those trades where both teams got what they wanted. I wouldn't want a do-over. I don't think Worthy would be right for this team & give us what we need in terms of versatility. Unlike, say, the Pats trading down w/ the Chargers & selecting Polk, while the Chargers got McConkey. Right now, that looks lopsided in the most epic way.

I wish our defense was stronger. We have one of those teams that can score a ton - but if the O has an off day, I just don't know if the D can carry us to a win over the top teams. And that happens in the playoffs - it's why high-flying offenses generally fall short in the end. If we had the bye, I'd feel better - but ultimately, we'll have 4 games in a row where my guess is we have to score 30 or more. Maybe we can get away w/ less in the 1st round, but after that, we'll have to put up a lot of points in all likelihood.

I think Coleman is better for us. His rookie year got a little derailed w/ missed time, but I like having the big red zone target over a speedster. I don't think Worthy would be doing as much for us, either. He fits into KC's offense.

Maybe it's the kind of run we'd need to finally get a title. The team would gain a lot of confidence getting through that. Sometimes the easiest path isn't the best path.

I hope they get the Chargers in the divisional round. Division games can be weird. If we do face them, I'll both welcome it, and dread it. Another playoff exit against them & I'll need a better therapist.

Go Texans.

If I asked A.I. to create the most consistently annoying sports analyst I could imagine, it still wouldn't come close to this.

Man, do I wish we had prime Bruce Smith playing for us right now. We don't have that kind of player on the defensive side of the ball (obviously, he's one of the best of all time, so it's unrealistic to expect that - but it would be nice to just have someone who was consistently disruptive).
