Success

Here's hoping 3rd and longs aren't the story.

Very nice work by Daboll on that drive.

Just run it. Don't pretend.

That's like, 18 normal beers. Maybe 18.5.

Allen has been more of a 2nd half QB anyway. I think he gets past this - though the wind is a BIG factor.

Maybe I'm off - but I think no matter what kind of team you are, you need to establish some sort of running game.

This is important. Fans just shouldn't test stuff like this.

9! I think that HE thinks he has this whole "Josh Allen thing" figured out....

Man - Bradshaw just picked the Ravens by 9. I can see the upset pick, but 9?

My reaction, as well. It doesn't sound like he's worth getting to know.

3 runs in a row on that one 3 & out last week was like deja vu back to the "old days." We are who we are. I hope we don't see any more of that, at all. Just go for it.

I really like Rodgers & would like to see him get another ring - but it's a no brainer while the Bills are still playing: I will root for an upset every game. With the possible exception of Bucs/Saints. Too much PTSD w/ the possibility of facing Brady if we made the SB.

100% agree. Yes, the Ravens have the better running game - but it's not like they can abandon throwing. I'll take Josh's arm over Jackson's in the wind every day, all day. And if the Bills get any kind of lead going? HUGE advantage for Buffalo...

Someone commented earlier this week that the ref crew has a rep of being kind of flag-happy. I don't like games like that - but given each team's style of play, that probably benefits the Bills.

The drinking schedule is a challenge today. The early game IS a playoff game, which I'd usually drink for regardless. But if I start drinking then, and with the pace I usually go at during Bills game, it may not be a viable option if I want to be coherent for the 4th quarter of our game. I have a few hours to work it out- but right now, it's a conundrum. Any input is welcome.

I didn't realize we had a "getting sick" emoji prior to this thread...

We've seen this play out many times over the year. It doesn't ALWAYS happen, but chances are it will be a factor...

Gotta say - this "making a playoff run" stuff is everything it's cracked up to be, and more. Some nerves, but overall, this has been a more fun month than I can ever remember this time of year. Makes me dislike Pats fans even more for getting this every year while we were going through mock drafts...

They can't cover all of our receivers. Just realized that. Thought I'd let everyone know.

Honestly, with Allen, we really need a dome - we'll just win more. That said, people think the wind will hurt the Bills more tomorrow, because of the Ravens running game. But it's not like the Ravens can abandon the pass. And I trust Allen's arm to throw accurately in the win MUCH more than Jackson's arm.

I used to fear Jimmy G. being the heir to Brady there. Thought they might have a Montana/Young thing going. Not anymore. He'll probably be the worst QB in the division if they get him.

When we won the Colts game, I figured the Ravens would be given respect, and that many would pick a close game, with some having the Ravens advance. As the week has gone on, it seems like the narrative has really evolved. The "Ravens are too much for the Bills" sentiment has snowballed - a combo of the Bills looking shaky against the Colts, and the Ravens looking good - even though their game was pretty close, as well. I'm actually a-okay w/ this. I did NOT like being such a consensus favorite against the Colts. I guess a lot of fans prefer the underdog role, and the idea of being a surprise instead of a disappointment. I legit feel like we're underdogs now - not the line, but going by many of the pundits I've seen.

One thing that concerns me - MOST of these good young guns are in the AFC. And there is a good chance that Lawrence & Fields will be joining them there. The QB talent in the NFC is really waning. Wilson is obviously great, but after him, there is a pretty big drop-off once Rodgers, Brees and Brady retire...

It's an excellent doc, though painful to watch. It's hard to watch the reactions of guys like Bruce & Thurman as they're watching certain plays and clearly lamenting what could have been. We really need to win one. That's really all it takes to erase all of the heartache & disappointment - not just from those 4 runs, but from the near 3 decades since.

Sports media is PURE hot take now. That's as far as anyone thinks.
