Lots of complaining here. This program is supposed to reporting the softer side of the sport. The Bills story is teamwork, family, strong sense of community, pride, the underdog, never give up, etc. That is what we are getting. Just remember the days when the Bills were irrelevant, had no star players, and were barely on any the NFL national coverage. You get one life. Time tics away. I am enjoying this.

Since we are throwing out non McBeane era, let’s not forget Daryl Lamonica.

He once called a referee an over-officious jerk.

Butch Byrd was a great cornerback, and still not on the wall. He was also a very fine punt returner.

The Bills organization is classy. I love this team.

Yup. Safety.

Clearly, the Bills defense inability to come up with enough stops in the playoffs was the only thing holding this team back. The strategy can only be to improve the defense and reduce the number of points this team gives up. Balance is not the right word, but there is no one on the Bill defense that consistently comes up big like Allen does on offense. The recent draft was an effort to get more impact players on the defensive side of the ball. More defensive players have to step up. After that, it still takes some amount of luck. Just about every SB winner can point to a few key plays that went their way.

There will still be very good DTs when the Bills pick. Miami passed up a few higher rated DT prospects, they must love Grant.

This move will also help UPL and Devon Levi.

1. Don't trade with KC 2. Take BPA on defense - DT, DE, or CB

Jim Monos had basically no NFL career after the Bills. So there is that.

Nope. Safeties have to tackle and play the run. Get a younger guy that helps on St and that can push the starters.

Anyone remember the 70’s and early 80’s. A string of 1st round busts. A few of these guys never even tried to help the team. Tom Rudd, Tom Cousineau, Phil Dokes, Booker Moore, Perry Tuttle - all terrible players.

RIP Coach. He was a good man and he had a roster that no one could do much with.

I am baffled by this. Final drive to win the game and Cook is not on the field. He had two monster TD and looked possessed.

Does anyone know why Cook was not on the field for the last offensive series? He was the guy I wanted to see get the ball.

We are knocking on the door and can win the AFC Championship today. What a long ride. I know I’m nervous and anxious. Just wanna say good luck to the Bills Team and Bills nation (mafia). I hope the Bills pull out all the stops to get past this barrier. Let’s keep the faith and bring home a win.

I will be 67 this year. I’ve loved this team as far back as I can remember, which goes back to the AFL championship teams. This game in KC gets us to the Super Bowl. For the first time I’m really feeling it. I think this team could be special.

Three turnovers? You don’t win in the playoffs with three turnovers.

I think Josh would welcome the chance to have the ball and win on the last drive.

Tim Russert (RIP)

You lost me at Rams fan

Sounds like Bills Giants in SB25

You must have missed the Kelly era where this situation was common. First of all they typically dress 8 offensive lineman so not all of them can rest. They might dress 9 for this game. A few starters will on the OL will get a lot of plays. Marv gave the offensive starters one series - often it was 3 plays but sometimes enough plays to drive for a score. After that Kelly, Thurman, Reed and anyone nursing an injury was out. Having Reich made it easier to play with backups because he was always well prepared and was very capable. I suspect McD will do the same. We will see mostly backups right away.

All of Allen’s plays will be with the first team OL and receivers. Anything else is crazy.
