Success

Not as bad as I thought. Only a few guys are limited, DNP. If Cooper plays, I'll feel pretty good heading into the game. If he can't, we'll have to be more creative on offense.

Bills are slight favorites, at home. "Shock" is just a bit strong for that headline.

I think the game hinges on Cooper being available. Going without all 3 of Coleman, Cooper & Kincaid will be a lot to overcome against a team like KC. Great to see Milano practicing again, though.

If Coleman, Cooper & Kincaid are all out - that will be rough. I know KC is missing some guys too, but I can't see our offense being too effective without at least one of those guys playing. They can basically focus almost exclusively on Shakir at that point.

I definitely want to be the team to beat them. But I'm already bracing for the narrative that we always beat them in the regular only to lose to them in the playoffs. Nick Wright will talk about it like it's a win for KC because of that.

At the pro level - it's a thing. In every major sport. We've seen it for decades. Teams self-destructed against the dynasty Pats - consistently.

"Aura" is a big factor in winning games. They've got it. No one else does. If they hadn't won 3 SB's, they'd be a middlin' team this year, and have 3-4 losses. But aura is carrying them.

I truly appreciate that we're having a great season - at a time when most nationally, and some locally, thought we'd be taking a step back as we retool. We could win it all this year. Not saying we will, but we'll be as competitive as anyone.

If you watched the Bills SB's in the '90s - you kind of love what's happening to Dallas right now, and how Jerry Jones is feeling.

A fun game - but ultimately, somewhat inconsequential. They'll very likely get the 1 seed regardless of what happens. If we lose, I'd almost take it as a good omen. Reversing the whole "Bills beat them in the regular, but can't in the playoffs." But of course, I want to blow them out.

Next week, we're officially America's team. We were always the ones in red, white & blue anyway.

We're winning some ugly games - but the key there is "winning." And the wins we're getting aren't NEARLY as ugly as the wins KC is getting.

Man, KC really took some of the joy out of the day. This was a great win on a day when we were down 3 top offensive guys and played pretty ugly, but I'm still shaking my fists at the sky.

I only take some solace in the fact that the entire nation is still groaning. KC is getting very close to surpassing the villainy of the dynasty Pats.

For a minute there, it looked like next weeks' game would be for the 1 seed. Chiefs just defining luck this year.

Weird, lucky charm season for KC. Have they won even one game by more than a score?

Can the Broncos pull this out?

Glad we got the pick - but we got lucky on a terrible throw. He was pretty open.

Hollins has been such a key player this year.

Good thing we're playing a bad team today. Gotta remember we're down Coleman & Cooper. JA is trying to do a bit too much.

Martin's best punt of his Bills career.

I think he's been great this season. Really off today though.

Sad for Dak. Seems like a good dude. But Jerry Jones? I hope he's miserable. Truly miserable. I hate to be that negative, but it's just reality.

Honestly, as long as we get him & most of the guys back by the playoffs. Feels like the division is over, and I like our chances in most of the remaining games regardless. We just need to (finally) be relatively healthy for the playoffs.

Pats fans are over the moon about Maye, and think their return to power is inevitable. I watched most of their game last week. Maye was actually quite bad until the last drive. The last play to get to OT was outstanding, but then he threw a terrible pick in OT. I'm a long way from worrying about that guy. The Pats aren't going anywhere anyway - they're run now like we were during the drought, or close to it. The Jets put everything into win now, and there just seems to be something w/ that organization - they can't get out of their own way. They'll have to start from scratch. Miami is the only team I could see being a real threat in the next 3-5 years. Tua is really good if he stays healthy, and they have a decent team around him.
