I love this so much. People are going to lose their minds, lol.

I don't remember any reports on it. I remember suggesting it and taking heavy fire, which seems to happen any time you mention sports psychology. People tend to think it's a bunch of nonsense.

Eric Wood was on Schopp/Bulldog yesterday and One Bills Live today talking about Josh's struggles with this. Tasker also said today he thinks the crowd and expectations got into Josh's head.

Did they run out of food and drink on Sunday like they did early in the Green Bay game?

I am not making anything up. Please stop accusing me of lying. I try really hard to never do that and I don't appreciate your incessant slander.

ESPN2

It seems like the consensus is that everyone likes the Peyton/Eli ESPN2 broadcast AND the NFL Live ESPN+ simulcast more than the actual #MNF broadcast. 😂

What? The Tre hold, the Wallace interference were both questionable-at-best calls. Sal made the point that no one on the sideline was calling for a flag on the Tre INT. That counts as an INT and we probably win going away.

Answered previously in thread. Not every conversation is documented on the internet, believe it or not!

Some would say I'm an uncommon man.

No, not referring to any posts here

You're going to hate this, but sorry, I don't have records. I've definitely heard it from callers on WGR and, like I said, in personal conversation. It's not an outlandish take, I don't think. It makes some sense to me. You love the Super Bowl win, but some part of you wants one that went through Buffalo.

Lighten up.

I think it's just as likely that this team wins a Super Bowl after taking a road journey through the playoffs. It might even be more likely with this team's DNA.

This is both presumptuous and incorrect. This, however, is absolutely correct. I don't think anyone would have a problem per se; in the back of their mind, they'd just be wishing for one of those seasons of total domination, homefield, and then a Super Bowl win. They want to enjoy one that goes through Buffalo.

Some people have said that they really want the two home playoff wins and then a Super Bowl win, and a Super Bowl win wouldn't be the same without that. I'm not one of those people, but I was having a discussion with someone about it offline today.

2005 Steelers. 2007 Giants. 2011 Giants. 2020 Buccaneers. In the past 16 seasons, four teams (that's 1/4 or 25% for you math nerds, haha) have won the Super Bowl as a road Wild Card team (and/or after barely squeaking into the playoffs). The '05 Steelers, '07 Giants, and '20 Bucs all won three games on the road en route to the Super Bowl. (The '11 Giants hosted their Wild Card game after coming away with a someone-had-to-win-it division title at 9-7, but had to win on the road thereafter.) Ultimately, maybe this is how the Bills will win a Super Bowl one of these years. After all, over the past 16 years, there's a 25% chance that the winner will take this route. If the Bills do take the "us against the world"/underdog mentality and ride it to a Super Bowl win when no one is expecting it (which I think suits this team's DNA very well, by the way), would you still crave a season where they do get homefield advantage, win two games at home, and then win the Lombardi, or would you be satisfied by the out-of-nowhere win?

Terrible execution then. Josh didn't look like tried to fake it at all.

Wow, there's a lot of self defense built into that response.

Great post.

I am not sure exactly what is being said here, but did you just suggest that the Bills may have been holding back, not wanting to show something to Pittsburgh? If so... no. Just no. That is a terrible wishful thinking take that always pops up after losses. That does not happen in a game like this. Awful take.

Great post.

Uncoincidentally, it'll be on the road without the pressure of playing in front of the home fans. Great post. Great post.

Yep. Too much arm, not enough control. Most QBs throw it in a way where the receiver has to adjust to be in the right place horizontally to catch it. Allen throws it so they have to SPRINT vertically to try to get to it, and they can't.

I just hate how the Bills always do this whenever the fans are particularly excited.
