  1. Little dude showed some heart on those runs for sure - hopefully he brings it in a couple weeks
  2. Would be cool if they ever did change it to opt to convert a 4th and 15 or something instead
  3. He was also running like a little boy posessed - showed a lot of heart on those plays
  4. Didn't read the first part of this thread. Whats the concensus on which team is better built to beat KC. Thats all I really care about at this point
  5. Jfc - now more weeks of not going to be able to stand watching any sports shows going to be 24-7 Mahomes
  6. So now the Ravens need to tear it down and rebuild right since they didn't make the SB?
  7. This is the first football related media I've watched since last week. Had to mute the opening. Just want KC to get crushed. Go Ravens
  8. Bills fans are great no doubt - and every fan base has good and bad fans. I'm inclined to say I liked the Bills fan base better before the drought ended and it got worse in some ways now that we are perrenial playoff contenders. I think there are more bandwagon fans with a large bit of entitlement and ridiculous expectations now (Only winning the Super Bowl is acceptable! Season is a failure and we suck if we don't! Fire Everyone and tear it down if we don't!) Also - I think it's great you can see Bills fans everywhere you go - but the irony of that is that there are so many Bills fans all over the country because so many of those people left Buffalo for various reasons. It is true though that so many brought their love of the team with them when they left (me included)
  9. And you could also consider "not having the pieces to compete" due to injury bad luck. Notable because the roster at LB and secondary was sound before the injuries. There is not a team in the league that would have had the depth to overcome them and not lose a step
  10. Sure - I mean some people are going to get unhinged with the Diggs is #1 comment but that is just Beane being smart. Say something positive about the guy in front of the caneras - that doesn't mean you don't still go looking for someone better
  11. Similar is the "blow it up crowd" after we came within a couple minutes of making the afccg with scrubs and wounded playing LB and in the secondary. What you need first is to make the tournament. Then have the pieces in place to compete, and usually have some luck as well. The 'tear it down' crowd is insane to me. We have the QB (the most important piece) and foundation across other positions. Sure there are holes that will need to be filled, but that is true for every team - every year.
  12. I've avoided all sports coverage since the game, and walked into a room this am that had a tv my wife had left on that had espn Get Up on The subject was - was the loss Josh Allens fault. Out of morbid curiosity I watched for a couple minutes and the horrible takes were enough for me to turn it right off. I won't be watching any sports coverage until hopefully Baltimore beats KC
  13. The Sherfield drop has also gotten kind of lost in everything that happened. That pass was a ROCKET - a truly unbelievably elite throw few can make
  14. My kids grew up (not in Buffalo) during the drought (they were 2 yrs old for music city miracle). I used to take them to watch games every sunday from the time they were literally babies - the days before sunday ticket where you were always looking for family friendly places that had satellite and would show all the games. During all those years and all the pathetic teams and losing they never once wavered on their fanhood. For 17 years, throughout the entire first part of their life, the Bills didn't make the playoffs. Year after year after year. And never once did their fanhood waver. I remember feeling sorry for them through all the years they didn't even really have a Bills player who was truly great to be their sports hero. My son still lives in our area and comes over for games, and I have found myself sometimes after particularly devastating losses actually apologizing for the circumstances that led him to be a Bills fan and he just laughs. Through the good and that bad he wouldn't want it any other way. That's what being a fan is after all. We'll always have our shared passion for the team as something that we'll always be texting or calling each other about - just like i do with my Dad (and my son with his Grandpa). That is the best part of all. Relative to the OP - to me the life lesson is if you change teams because they lose you were not a fan to begin with. Being a fan means taking the good with the bad, losing with winning. Simple as that.
  15. I'll address the elephant in the room: When do we fill in the Pit?
  16. I was wondering when the clown show posts about getting rid of Josh would start. We are gifted with literally one of the best QBs to maybe ever play the position and some people want to get rid of him. There aren't words to express how idiotic it is
  17. This - the amt of key defensive injuries were ridiculous and not something that any amt of roster depth could cover - and it will be lost to history forever. Instead we'll just have bills vs chiefs playoff record, and the stupid Mahomes vs Josh head-head playoff record narrative which is intended to imply Mahomes is better but has nothing to do with how well Josh played
  18. Everyone mad about the first down run - I don't have a problem with calling the play initially- cook had been tearing off runs up the middle the whole game - i dont understand how/why you don't check out of it if it is so obvious they are selling out to stop it before the snap
  19. I was more low key during the actual game bc I'm on vacation and watched it at my brother's house and there were other people there. If I was at home there would have been screaming for sure. The weird thing was the drive by myself after the game, Alone in the car it was weird there were times I was playing back the last minutes and honestly had moments where it felt like it was a dream and maybe didn't really happen. Did not sleep well st all (as confirmed by my fitbit sleep score 😛 ) - just kept waking up and replaying those plays. When I come to grips with that, then I start thinking about how there's going to be even more of a saturation of KC/Mahomes now which makes me sick- and then I have the picture of Jason kelce shirtless in the box with TS - omfg. So now I'll just avoid all sports shows for a week and hope that balt beats kc. Eventuality you forget the feeling after bad losses but as much as I want to put things into perspective this one doesn't feel any better right now.
