Georgia Bill

So we're good again?

Funny take on the situation... https://deadspin.com/the-afc-is-terrible-and-they-re-leading-us-to-doom-1848045747

The Bucs. I worry that if we beat them in the regular season and then met them in the Super Bowl we'd lose, because the odds of beating them twice in one season are mighty low. We don't have that concern with any of the other NFC contenders. In the AFC, as the weeks go by I'm starting to get concerned about the damn Patriots. Mostly because we have to play them twice, and if we met in the playoffs that would be three times. They seem to be getting stronger and stronger.

I guess the Bills figured, based upon past experience with the Fins, this was an automatic W

Exactly. It says we are afraid we can't beat you in the 5th quarter. Play scared - lose.

stupid call. Kick the damn ball and win in OT. Daboll got greedy.

Frankly, I don't think you beat the Bucs twice in a season. So I'd be quite happy to lose the first one in a squeaker, end up 15-2 with home field, and beat them again about a month and a half later 😄

The rotation worked great last night. At first after seeing KC hold the ball a long time and us scoring much quicker I got the old "crap, they're going to wear us down and by Q4 the D will be spent" concern. NOT! They were looking really fresh even near the end, still swarming. I like a great D even more than a great O, and am loving what I'm seeing from this unit so far - fun to watch!

Wow that SUCKS! Here in Atlanta I've been looking forward to watching the Bills - Chiefs on my man cave big screen TV for weeks (the only Bills game that's aired locally so far), and at the last minute Dish shuts off NBC. Just found out this morning - WTF!!! I guess I'll have to go see if I can get Peacock Premium loaded on the TV. What an unexpected disappointment and pain in the ass! Dish did this BS previously with AMC, then HBO. I understand that they're saying the company that provides the locals is trying to rape them with an outrageous increase in fees, but it looks like Dish's policy in such cases is always the same - we'll play hardball and just shut off the programming to our subscribers, and blame it on "the other side". Me thinks that is not a winning strategy with their customer base.

In the US we have 660,000 deaths among 41 million Covid cases, or 1 death for about every 62 cases. Hell, assume that number of cases is way underestimated, assume it was among 160 million cases - that's still 1 death for about every 240 cases. The mortality rate is not "so low". If 1 out of even 1000 died from just getting vaccinated, we'd have had 180,000 deaths due to vaccination by now (180 million fully vaccinated). That's not the kind of thing that just gets covered up/not reported. The real numbers that have died due to vaccination are immensely lower than that. Then again the types of people who believe in conspiracies could probably be convinced to believe just about anything. For what? To suggest it is "safer" to not be vaccinated than to be vaccinated is simply a ridiculous argument.

Same with Dan Fouts and the Chargers. You can have a great passing attack, but need to have some balance.

I took a look at the Chiefs forum on JJ Watt. It looks just like this one, including the photoshopped picture of him in a Chiefs jersey, the claims he's past his prime, the claims he'd make the D better, that it would be good to get him if the price was right (due to cap issues), and that if he's chasing a ring this would be a great place to land. Swap "Bills" for "Chiefs" and it all reads the same 😄

I bet there are a lot forums for AFC teams talking about how they need to get Lavonte David now, because everybody recognizes the Kelce problem. His price might end up being higher than we can afford.

Great idea but with the limit in cap space, I don't think we have enough buying power...

Yeah, you're right on that second bullet - the Bills have had pretty good success against Brady and Gronk - that would have surely worked to our advantage

I agree, if we had gone to the SB and lost it would have been devastating, adding another chapter onto to a painful legacy. It is VERY important that this team WINS it's first trip to the SB, otherwise all the "same old Bills" crap will come out, "O-fer", the "curse" talk, etc. Can't have any of that...

He might decide to retire, particularly if he promised his wife "one more ring and I'm done". But short of that, he knows what a great team he's on and that they would have a good chance next year to repeat, and given that - I think he stays on for one more year.

I hope KC doesn't even get one touchdown. That would be quite a statement by the Bucs D.

As mentioned by Romo, but I've been noticing it - David is a big physical guy and he's been hitting Kelce at the line, also hitting Kelce hard and making him pay a price when he does catch it. This is not finesse defense, they are taking it to KC.

I don't give a crap about who beat us in the past, and I've been a Bills fan for over 50 years. I'm loving watching KC get their asses kicked, and I don't really care who's doing it 😁

Tampa Bay is teaching the rest of the NFL how to beat the Chiefs. Hopefully we pay attention.

That is the issue. It's not really a level playing field if the Chiefs defense can mug the Bills receivers all game in the AFC championship and get away with it, then they decide to call them like they should be calling them tonight.

Not me, I want the Bills to beat him next year 😄

Everyone talking about how the only way the Bills can beat KC is with more offensive firepower or better o Line. I've been seeing let's just wait and see if a stout defense might do the trick. Me thinks that's playing out so far tonight.

I'll be watching with interest to see if the Bucs defense can find a way to slow down Mahomes and Co. Many people here saying you can't slow them down, so your only way to beat them is with an offense that can keep up with them. I'm skeptical of that - it would imply a need to be virtually perfect on offense. I am still optimistic that a well schemed defense with talent can slow down the high power offenses. The Bucs defense isn't the highest ranked, by a long shot, but they've been playing pretty damn good in the playoffs. IF they can bother/affect Mahomes, that will be something to take into consideration as we think about what the Bills highest priority needs are. As for the Brady hate - I would much rather see the Chiefs go down in the Super Bowl. Brady's days are numbered, I really don't care if he gets another ring.
