  1. I'll just pick the one team from each division with a bright future and the one that is in trouble

     

    AFC East
    Bills - this year was just the beginning of a good run. I foresee nothing but improvement and the possibility of an AFC East crown next year
    Pats- this was the beginning of the end

     

    Watch out for the Dolphins in coming years

    AFC North

    Ravens- will be good for years
    Steelers - about to go into QB purgatory, maybe already there

     

    AFC South

    Texans - I think the Bills should have beaten them, but they should be solid for a few years. Watson is good and only in his 3rd year
    Colts- they were a flash in the pan last year

     

    Watch out for Titans here- may have something if Tannehill pans out

    AFC West
    Chiefs- these guys should be good for many years with Mahommes

    The rest of this division is messy. All are spinning their wheels with no one to challenge the Chiefs.

    Wake up.

    Drive from Austin to Houston.

    Attempt to arrive with ample time to tailgate and enjoy the company of fellow Bills fans.

    Crush a sando.

    Dispose of my trash responsibly instead of leaving empty cans everywhere like an animal.

    Game Face.

    Watch the Bills beat the Texans soundly.

    Catch a Lyft back to the hotel.

    Order a pizza and eat it whilst watching the Titans upset the Pats.




    Gonna be great day.

    I'm driving down from Austin too. Will leave around 5 am as I want to maximize pre-game time.

  3. I went to this game- I was back on break from college. I got drunk at a tailgate and was seen in the background on NBC drunkenly jumping around during a solemn part of the pre-game show when they were discussing the Gulf War. I tried to run right up to the reporter but fortunately, was grabbed by security just in time before I could disrupt the whole thing. After the game, I was certain we were going to win the super bowl- it was only one week later that year. This, the Houston comeback and the recent Thanksgiving game in Dallas are my top three games that I’ve  attended.  

  4. It would be great if we could get a clue as to which seeds will play what day for travel purposes. I’m driving ftom

    Austin to Houston- no problem there, but I have several friends planning to fly in and they need to book that. It seems like the 5th seed is usually the Saturday game. That would be ideal 

  5. The '80 Bills would and should have won the whole thing. I remember in the my elementary school in Orchard Park we made up and sang a tribute song to the Bills during the playoff run that was to the tune of the twelves days of Christmas. Somehow, it made it on to Buffalo radio. Totally corny, but at the time it was awesome to a small fan like me. I remember being at the Hooks hail mary game. It was a cold and windy day with maybe 35 thousand fans there and this was back when the stadium was over 80k. 

     

    If I'm not mistaken, that incompletion in the Cinci game actually was a completion, but was thrown after the play clock expired. There was controversy too, as Knox had called timeout that was ignored.The drive would have gone on. Those Knox teams were great- he lived around the corner from where I grew up in OP. He had a reputation for being a tough SOB, but, if you met him- nicest guy ever. 

     

    Everyone focuses on the 90's glory days, but the Bills won championships in the 60's, should have won in the 80's. Could have won had they beat Tennessee in 2000.

    Has anyone or does anyone plan to buy tickets and travel for it? I see it's 73% chance we are @ Houston and I have been researching. Very tempted to buy a few tickets to Houston's 1st playoff game and take the chance. I think worst case is if we don't play them, and you can just sell the tix and make a profit. Prices will only go up from here as the matchups are confirmed! Anyone else debating? Any input or advice?? Definitely not flying to HOU as it's at like $660 per person for a flight. Would do RV style if I go. Let me know what y'all are doing?!

    Houston has two airports. George Bush is the big one, but Hobby has large Southwest operations and you may find cheaper flights. It's also closer to downtown and the stadium. An alternative is Austin, which may be cheaper and the drive is about 2 1/2

  7. This feels like he 86-89 era where you knew greatness was ahead. I said this in another thread on here yesterday. We are on the cusp. 

     

    As for tomorrow- if we can't beat them as we are surging and they are hitting a low point, then when can we? Barring a breakdown, injuries or blocked punts for TDs or other defensive TDs by them, I expect a win.

    I sure hope we're coming into this.

    I'm old enough to have been around in the 86-89 time frame when the Bills Super Bowl team was coming together and this feels the same. There were growing pains during that time, just like now, but you could tell greatness was ahead. I'd say that this is a more cohesive unit than that group- if you recall the Bickering Bills saga of '89
