Success

This will be just like 13 seconds. A bragging rights game that will mean nothing, because KC doesn't have as good a chance of beating the Ravens as we would have.

Worst game I've seen from our defense this year. Almost immediately, my hopes that the backups could fill in okay were dashed. It definitely hurt that we were so banged up.

Yeah - same. We just don't know right now. Allen is better than Rivers ever was. But it might not matter. Seems so hard to even get to a SB right now.

What else can we do? We have, at least, an informal family here in Buffalo. I feel pain right now - but I know there are thousands of people right there w/ me. Allen is still young, we'll always have a window while he's playing. There is a rich history in sports of great players who kept hitting a wall year after year, until they broke through. Just keep hoping. And stay away from the media. I made the mistake of checking Nick Wright's initial reaction - what a wonderful example of a sore winner. But it will be a brutal week w/ the ending being a wide right kick. Just steer clear. Life is still good. We still have Josh Allen.

It ends HERE.

Even a single sack could change this game.

Get a 2 score lead, an we aren't looking back. We need big defense coming out of this half.

Allen is locked in. Need to get stops on D.

Is being a sports fan "fun"? Doesn't feel like it at moments like this.

Mahomes pick 6 to start the game. That's what my gut just told me.

Lions/Bills Super Bowl. Let's make it happen! One team gets their 1st.

We need both lines to be great today. Protect Allen, clear some lanes for Cook, get to Mahomes = Bills win.

The Niners will NOT scare me if we get to the SB. Obviously a very good team - but not what they are hyped to be.

So, we're gonna have to watch Gronk in every other commercial for the rest of our lives? Is that the deal?

Great game so far - Texans can win this. I have massive respect for the Texans, Stroud & Ryans - but they're not beating us in Buffalo in January, in their 1st AFCCG.

Texans struck gold w/ Stroud & w/ Ryans (imo). They'll be a problem for many years.

Love the shots of Stroud's mom. It would be hard being a parent of an NFL player. Fun, exciting - but hard.

The bolded is correct - but it's not as easy as it sounds there. Like, it's VERY far from being as easy as it sounds there.

I've been really happy for Singletary this year. The Texans have been a much better situation for him, and it seems like he's been able to really achieve his potential there. That last play notwithstanding.

I'm probably too confident right now. I'll actually be shocked if KC beats us. We're better, I think last year's Cincy debacle is still fresh on the players' minds, and we just ran through the toughest part of our schedule with every game being a must-win to get this opportunity. I don't think the game will be that close. I see a statement game, not unlike the Pats playoff game. A "changing of the guard"-type of game.

When I think about the injuries, I'm not so much worried about the "out" guys. I'm concerned that some of the players might be playing pretty hurt, and thus less effective. But, everyone is pretty banged up this time of year. We've been playing up KC's relative health compared to the Bills, but they have a whole list of guys they cleared today who likely aren't 100% either. Our depth is great this year, too. Might be the best it's been in the JA era.

This game has potential to be surprising, in a good way. The Chiefs D is very good, but I don't think they're as formidable as many believe. They haven't been as good against the good teams - and they haven't been as good on the road. If the Bills can get off to a good start, I really feel like we could win by a wide margin. I also think that Allen is locked in right now. That long run last week felt like a statement of determination.

Love all our traditions - except this one. It's a sporting event. A FAMILY event. Enough of this one.

The Chiefs injury report actually isn't anything to discount. Not having Nnadi could be a big deal for our running game, and when they try to stop Allen on short yardage. They also have a bunch of guys who were cleared but have things like hammy's, obliques and calf injuries. They'll be limping around like we will.
