  1. Living in South Carolina in the seventies, I grew up a Steelers "fan".  Casually pulled for Boomer Esiason's Bengals in the late eighties until I watched the Bills-Browns playoff game in 1989.

     

    Many of you probably remember that that hard fought game in which the Browns dodged a late bullet to hang on and advance... but man, did the Bills impress me.  That team was so much fun to watch and little did I know what excitement lay ahead.

     

    I jumped on the bandwagon just in time as the 1990 season was a total blast and the beginning of the Super Bowl run.  I've been an addict ever since.

    Again, I don’t think it’s as simple as you make it out to be.  There were a lot that went into the decision in 2017.  It’s not like the Bills we’re drafting a QB and chose someone else 

     

    Don't get me wrong... I'm not here saying Boo Bills for not drafting the kid.  I was not clamoring for the team to take Mahomes back then and I'm definitely not saying the Bills should have known better.

     

    To some fans, the context of the trades and where the teams were then doesn't matter... the Chiefs have a great QB and we have a project QB.  It's a jealousy thing, pure and simple.  I think that the only cure for that jealousy is winning and seeing consistently good/great QB play in Buffalo.

    I get that Aaron Rodgers is a little weird but there aren’t too many players that I have ever enjoyed watching play more than him so I’d be okay with them Packers winning.

     

    I’d also be very okay with KC winning it all. Tyreek Hill and Frank Clark can be shot into the sun but Mahomes is a remarkable player and Andy Reid is a heck of a coach that has gone through a lot on and off the field. I’d be very happy to see him get a ring. 

     

    While I have no love for Aaron Rodgers, I do have respect.  I will begrudgingly concede that I've never seen a more accurate passer when it matters most.

     

    I also have a hard time pulling for KC but have to admit that it's mainly because we traded them the Mahommes pick and he's playing great.  It's totally petty.  The kid plays at a phenomenal level and seems to be a total class act on and off the field.  As Josh wins more games with his arm, I expect my jealously to fade.  I do need to appreciate the fact that we wouldn't have Tre White had we not made the moves we made and I LOVE Tre White!

        I don’t like Wentz and have no affinity for the Eagles but that hit by Clowney was as text book egregiously foul as they come. 
       I watched that in real time and absolutely couldn’t wrap my head around that not being called.

     

    I feel exactly the same way you do.  I can't pull for the Eagles, no way, no how.

     

    But that shot Clowney put on Wentz was textbook targeting.  If someone wants to defend the refs not calling it, okay... we can agree to disagree.  But the league choosing not to fine him?!? 

     

    The refs sitting on their flags in the playoffs isn't any better than deciding games with crap calls during the season.  The league office is doubling down to save face with these reviews.

    SF should be Bills fans' second favorite team. Between 1988-1994, either SF or Buffalo went to the SB, but never both at the same time. It was Chris Berman's dream that these two teams would play each other, but it never happened. The Bills, then the 49ers, were Berman's favorite teams. No team circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!

     

    If the Giants' Leonard Marshall hadn't knocked Montana out of the Championship game, it would have been the 49'ers the Bills met in Super Bowl XXV.

     

    I'm betting on a GB/KC super bowl but really don't have a preference on who plays this year.  I've moved on and can't wait until next year starts.

    I find it difficult still.

     

     

     

    I can't pull for Vrabel either.  I'll tip my hat to him though... he's doing a great job in Tennessee.

    I was down so I went to patsfan.com to get cheered up.  What really did it for me was a post someone made asking what they should do - their 9 year old was so devestated by the loss they cried themselves to sleep.  The thought of this sad little sniveling chowderhead cheater fan brought a smile to my face and warmed my heart. 

     

    I love it!  Thanks for sharing.  :D

    Hope not. 49ers/ Chiefs please. Green Bay is just dull. 

     

    That would be a pretty exciting matchup! 

     

    I am not a Packers fan and really don't want to see them there but I think they'll handle injury-riddled PHI/SEA and just have to get past the Championship Game.

     

    As the wife and I were talking about NFL "narratives" (like New England winning the Super Bowl in 2001, when the country needed it most) and it just hit me.  Why not get the two teams back together that played in the first Super Bowl?

     

    As good as the Ravens and Chiefs are, I'll be disappointed if they don't play in the Championship Game.  I feel the Texans won't advance again but I'm not so sure about the Titans... they could surprise.

  8. That series there was gut-wrenching.  After the failed fourth down, I just knew it was over.  The Texans had the ball on our side of the field and I didn't see how we'd get it back and if we did, without the score changing.  You've got to give credit to the Bills for even making it to overtime.
