Success

I'll probably still skip 'em. It would be nice to hear some kudos, but I'm sure there will be guys who never played the game arguing that Allen shouldn't have won & all that.

Okay, now I can tune out the NFL until the draft.

Great speech. It's so easy to root for Josh. Really happy for him. I'm sure he'd rather have MVP of the game on Sunday, but it's great to get this recognition. He does a lot for the league.

Well.....maybe.

I kind of wish Goodell would get booed everywhere, like he does at the draft.

I think my favorite thing about this topic in general is that Patriots fans online complain loudly about the favorable officiating for the Chiefs. Completely without a sense of irony.

You've ruined my night. I was just starting to convince myself that it's just 1 hour.

Do they really leak it? I'm not as confident. I'm hopeful, but not as confident.

I'm all about "any love is good love," but man....

I'm torn on this. I know exactly what you're saying - but the league only has so many Andy Reids. And even Andy Reid was basically run out of town in one NFL city because he couldn't win "the big one." McDermott, realistically, is probably a top 6-7 guy overall. Who that's available would be better? It's a tough one. Personally, I wish we would just being in a real DC. I think if we had hired Saleh, we'd have the #1 D next year.

Some who have come out & said they voted Lamar make it sound more like a stats award. I think some do see it that way. I just take "most valuable" as exactly that.

I like to think we wouldn't be like Chiefs fans w/ similar success. Maybe I'm wrong - but I really don't think we would be. Too much heartbreak over the years. It would keep us much more grounded.

C'mon, universe. Throw us a bone.

It would be kind of fun if a completely egregious call ended up costing KC the 3-peat.

No team would give up a 2nd for Milton. He looked great - against backups.

What did he do? The guy won 1 game, and was somewhat of a turnover machine - especially on game-ending drives. He's incredibly overhyped right now based on a few "wow" plays. He hasn't proven anything in this league yet.

I haven't watched a second of any of the sports shows or podcasts or anything since we lost - and that part of it has been very positive. I think about all of the things I've done w/ my free time over immersing myself in that & everything about the Bills, and it's kind of eye-opening. I've just accomplished a lot more and made much better use of my time.

Not seeing it. They have very little talent. Could Maye be a good QB? Sure - but he could easily be pretty middlin'.

That one was actually heartbreaking for ME. My list of heartbreak as a fan dwarfs any KC fan's, or any fan for that matter. I was even a fan of Greg Norman in golf.

Man, if we just had a title under our belt - all of the second guessing, officiating & close ones would be so much easier to handle. I doubt I'd even care at this point. It's definitely hard to wait close to 30 years, live under the shadow of one dynasty most of that time, and keep butting our heads up against the new dynasty - knowing all the while that the new dynasty could be us. Being a sports fan, huh? They should really prep you better when you decide early on to follow a team.

I was a little there this season - though I definitely enjoyed some of the wins, like KC (Josh's run was amazing), and the Lions. Now? The regular season is a total formality. Round 1 of the playoffs is a formality, unless it's somehow KC. The level of futility the Bills have had over the years is almost comical. It was 4 losses in a row in the '90s, and now 4x that we can't get by the same team. It's hard to believe I'm not permanently in the fetal position on the floor, just whimpering my life away.

Your team is playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Why are you here trying to argue against something that there is basically a national consensus on at this point? We're in mourning here. Enjoy being in another title game, and let us complain about the refs.

Yep - Kupp is consistent, and very good.

Much-needed break for me. I still can't believe how much I lost it after the game. I was raving. Apologies once again to anyone who engaged w/ me that evening.

Being a Bills fan isn't for the weak. I just turned 60. I think about how I felt when we blew out the Raiders to get to that 1st Super Bowl. If you had told me then what lay ahead, I wouldn't have believed it. Heartbreak after heartbreak, more games w/ names than pretty much any other team, just epic disappointment. And still waiting for that elusive title. It never gets easier. But the hope remains: just one before I die. Just one. I don't think that's asking too much. And while Josh Allen is the Bills QB, it is a very real possibility. Could he end up like Marino? Maybe, but I really doubt it. He's going to get there.
