Told my son i would’ve deferred for sure. it’s really windy there today too.

Houston won the toss and took the ball

Texans need to weather the early craziness. it’s cold and windy, not great for a dome team but they do have motor and a decent defense. Hope they can hang in there.

i’m hoping upon hope that either Houston, GB or TB wins. One+ road team will win this weekend it’s a lock. It always is. I don’t want home teams being 3-0 going in to our game.

This game is going to transcend defensive injuries, extra rest, referee, etc.. Kansas City *thinks* they are prepared for the kind of noise and violence that will greet them on Sunday eve. They aren't and I agree with Dion Dawkins on that point. I think the environment and the circumstances with Buffalo desperate to beat this club in the playoffs is going to carry the Bills. It's going to overwhelm KC.

The NFL likes parity, they don't want dynasties. Swift or not, America would rather see Bills or Baltimore in the Super Bowl over Kansas City.

My take from the Bernard video, he looks like a guy that can run straight but stopping fast and cutting...that's a whole different story. Kinda' gimpy looking to me but trying not to show it.

Scoring points gets you to Conference Championship wins and Super Bowls. KC beat Philly last season 38-35. Let's go Josh! Lead us. If he has to run 15 times so be it.

Hopefully these injured guys will be ready for the AFC Championship game. The good news is that I heard Buffalo will have professional football players on the field Sunday to replace them. They won't leave the positions vacant vs KC. We will be OK for this game. As my buddies and I talk about, as long as JA17 is playing, along with most of the offensive weapons, we are good.

Dooooooomed! Just kidding. They will be fine and the home crowd energy will carry them over and the D will be able to survive this for another game.

Dang, that Spector back injury must've been bad. During the game i recall seeing blurbs on X that he was still on the sidelines in uniform waiting for the OK to go back in. I guess he was never close to going back in.

My prediction: Out of the 4 guys with the designation of "Limited", 3 will be active on Sunday (Dodson, Douglas, Taron, Martin). Out of the 5 injured guys with "DNP" designation on Thursday, 2 will be active on Sunday (Benford, Bernard, Gabe, Rapp, Spector).

The Chiefs got a feel good win vs Miami that had zero chance in those temperatures to execute their offence against a solid D. The simple fact is, while KC is good this year they are not special. In a tough road environment at Orchard Park, against a great QB like Allen, i think the Bills will pierce that Chiefs defense. I'm so glad the Tyreek-Mahomes connection is long gone because that was unstoppable in a big game. I do think the patched up Bills D can survive this one game with the Bills offense leading the way.

A few of the Bills have gone out there to implore the crowd to be as crazy and loud as possible. They've made reference to how tough it was during previous playoff games in Arrowhead to hear the snap counts and audibles. So I think they're trying to get the fans riled up. The home noise is obviously a really big deal. I haven't heard any slander towards the Chiefs. Mostly, that they are the champs until someone beats them....blah blah blah That's what Michael Irvin said this morning. He picked the Bills in a close game, but he said it's Armageddon in Buffalo....and if the Bills can't beat this version of Kansas City, they need to tear it all down and try something else.

That's really the only way KC will be able to pile up points on the Bills. Turnovers and extra possessions, especially in our end. So hopefully, Buffalo is very ball security conscious.

The Bills are getting torched online for asking for snow shoveling assistance, paid, but not offering food and drink this time. Is that true? seems like an easy thing to do for a billion+ organization to give the shovelers some food and avoid negative publicity.

I still can’t even watch again. ugh.

Did we ever find out what happened with this kick? I can forgive the guy for slipping with his plant foot or something. But if the snap, hold and footing were all good… then this shank is beyond worrisome.

I should have added during the week of the biggest game of the season. Maybe the biggest in a few years. But good to see the guys are loose. On another note I saw a show with Julian Edelman. He said part of the Belichek mystique is he had the Patriots so tight and over preprared. He would quiz players in the hallways about their assignments the week of playoff games. And guys were scared to make a mistake and get anything wrong. They’d go into the games tight and nervous. So maybe there is no right or wrong approach.

The Old Mcdermott would not have signed off on those goofy hijinks.

How did we go from Tuesday’s McDermott media call, saying that no one has been ruled out (yay a positive sign), to Thursday, none of the injured guys are even doing a walkthrough it looks like EVERYONE is out?!? Cmon man!

I’ve been pretty good so far in the playoffs. Here’s some results and free money if you like to bet. Houston 31 Baltimore 27 San Francisco 34 Green Bay 23 Detroit 24 Tampa 23 Finally, as the week goes on i’m becoming much more Bullish on the Bills. Buffalo 37 Chiefs 17

I hate all the ref talk, but maybe some of that will get back to Hochuli that he can’t be blatantly biased in the game. But also. KC has only played home playoff games and the home team as we’ve seen over the years sometimes gets the benefit of some calls or should i say, non-calls. It’s not surprising KC is 2-0 at home in playoffs with that crew.

I've flipped around on this but settling on a game where the Chiefs have no idea what is about to hit them, playing in raucous OP with a super motivated and tenacious Bills team. Buffalo 34 Chiefs 17

Hyde, right before the 52 yard TD run,,,, "use your legs Josh!". Great timing,
