Georgia Bill

The wind with your or against you thing can be dealt with to a degree, but sometimes the winds are cross winds or swirling winds. Those can be a lot harder to try to compensate for. At any rate - I just hope the Bills commit to making hard hits and low tackles on runners in this cold. If they do I think they'll win.

I would normally agree, but in 20-40 mph winds, throwing deep is a bad idea. No telling where the ball goes - could be right into the hands of a defender. You lose precision, and that worsens on the longer throws.

I could be wrong but with the anticipated winds I doubt that the passing game, or ability to get sacks, is going to matter much. When the wind-chill gets this cold, I think it's less about talent, game plan, or coaching, and more about whose team has players willing to play with intensity despite the bone chilling, hand numbing cold. In this game I think it's going to come down to who is willing to hit hard and make tough tackles - when their mind is just looking forward to getting back to the warm bench.

I wasn't saying we fear the Chiefs. I just don't like the odds of needing to beat the Bengals in Cincinnati AND needing to beat the Chiefs in KC to get to the Super Bowl which could very well be the case as 3rd seed. I'll guarantee you the Chiefs fans would not like their odds either if the Chiefs were 3 seed and had to go on the road and beat the Bengals in Cinci AND then beat the Bills in Buffalo. It's a potential murderer's row, for whoever gets the 3 seed.

Quoting myself to make an additional point: I think Cinci understands the same thing. If they are 3rd seed, likely they'd have to win 1st round at home, 2nd round beat the Chiefs in KC, and then AFC championship have to beat the Bills in Buffalo. They are going to be VERY motivated to avoid that scenario. I don't see any realistic scenarios where the Chiefs could end at number 3 and have to go on the road to beat both the Bills and the Bengals- which kind of sucks...

Like most, I'm most concerned about the Bengals game. Win that and win out, get the #1 seed and we are in prime position. Even with that, we'd likely have to beat either KC or Cinci for the second time this season (tough to do) - but we know that and of course we all prefer our chances at home. If we lose to Cinci we MIGHT still end up with 2nd seed (If Baltimore beats them on the final weekend). But if we lose to Cinci and they beat Baltimore (and win out), then by virtue of same record as us but owning the head to head - they get the 2nd seed, we fall to 3rd, and our second playoff game (assuming we win our first) could end up being at Cinci. That to me is the ultimate tough road to the Super Bowl: 3rd seed and 1st round we beat somebody at home, 2nd round have to beat Cinci in Cinci, then AFC championship we have to beat KC in KC.

It was not a good look. I understand there's a lot of snow in the stands and there are bound to be some snowballs thrown. But keep them in the stands; don't direct them at the field or worse, at opposing players on the field or on their bench. I sure would hate to see this behavior in a playoff game - it's a sure way to have viewers get a bad taste in their mouths about Bills fans. Which is sad because Bills Mafia does so much good and that normally gets positive attention. Put aside the heat thing in Miami (which was not something Dolphins fans "did" to us) and think about how you'd feel about fans in another city bombarding the Bills as they sat on the bench or tried to make plays on the field.

For the Dolphins this is their Super Bowl. I suspect this is going to be tougher than people think, but expect to see a W for the Bills.

In the last Phins game I watched the announcers talked a lot about how Tua throws the soft ball, with a lot of arc, and that the benefit was he could throw safely over defenders at the line and others not directly on the receiver. They mentioned he rarely threw balls with zip. We'll see how well that plays if the winds get a whippin!

I don't want to rely on the cold or snow hurting the Dolphins. If anything all this talk of how they can't play in the cold is going to motivate them even more. I suspect they'll put up a good fight but am banking on the fact that our team is better to be the reason we win.

Their D looks pretty impressive. With a conservative game manager type QB they could go deep into the playoffs. He's looked like more than just a game manager the first 2 games. A big question for me will be if they get into the playoffs, will he wilt under the pressure of it all, or keep playing with the confidence he's been showing?

Fish out of water hopes frozen by Frigid air strangled by Bills D

I'll take the pretty bad play caller who has us at 10-3 and first seed in the AFC every time.

even themselves a couple times 😁

When Mahomes threw his helmet at the ground: "F*$&!, now we'll have to play in Buffalo!!!

Wow! They showed both the Dolphins and the Chiefs games here in Atlanta - flipping back and forth furiously all afternoon. So awesome to see them both lose! Niners defense is stout.

and the Titans! Buffalo now controls its own destiny - Go take it Bills!!

Best thing I've heard all night - Patriots fans booing. Classy.

I know you're all past this point, but for sure it was blue on blue. My avatar is Josh getting the first down on a fourth down keeper play in that Dallas game and you can see the blue on blue. Josh was not going to be denied on that play, and right then it became obvious to me that we had secured a hell of a QB - he won me over with his grit.

bumping this, not sure anyone has noticed it...

Andy Reid thinks so too: Andy Reid brings up "13 seconds" after win over Chargers

Ah yes, that was quite a storm. These are a couple of pictures I took near my Aunt's house in Town of Tonawanda. It seems like this snowfall that's going on now is going to top that one!
