Buffalo Ballin Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) This was a magical regular season, gentlemen. 13-3 record. Sweep division. 2nd seed in AFC. This is rarefied air. Been a long time. Last time we were here, it was 1991. 1991. 30 years ago. Whenever we get THIS good, we made it to the AFC title game. Every time. The playoffs started for us against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. We made them bend over didn't we? Dolphins defense is ok, too. That was a great litmus test for us. Those Dolphins were fighting for their playoff lives and we demolished them. Even with our 2nd stringers. - Josh Allen is a Top 3 NFL QB and a league MVP candidate. That's super. As much as I love Jim Kelly, I never considered him a Top 3 NFL QB. - Stefon Diggs is a Top 3 NFL Wide Receiver. Andre Reed and Eric Moulds were awesome, but they didn't put up freakish stats like Diggs. - Tre'Davious White is a Top 10 NFL Cornerback. - Jordan Poyer proved that he can snuff out m'fers leading the team in solo tackles. - This is, perhaps, Josh Norman's and Jerry Hughes' last chance to get to the Super Bowl since both of them are 32+ years old. - The O-line is great. The best I've seen since the early 1990s Bills. I give us an 85% chance of beating the Colts this Wild Card Weekend. Because we showed our strength this season and we have homefield. That cold will affect the Colts. Colts defense, when it's clicking, is perhaps the 2nd best defense this season. I should know because I had Colts Defense for my fantasy team. It's a great test for us. The new generation of Bills is here. My message to Colts' fans: Edited January 5, 2021 by Buffalo Ballin 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the Colts played later than us this past Sunday with all their starters and now have to factor in the trip to Buffalo. I think the slightly shorter week favors us especially since we rested guys last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of the routine for these guys I look at it more from the coaching and game planning, practice perspective. Every minute counts. Eberfluss has never prepared for this offense. OTOH, rivers has prepared for this defense and McD has prepared for rivers in a different offense. Maybe it won’t make a difference in the outcome here. but it is more difficult to prepare for a team from scratch than say, the browns for the Steelers for the third time this year. The Bills have the same challenge, but no travel. Every advantage, no matter how small, matters in the playoffs.

The team has travel people getting the plane loaded with luggage, I imaging that is not done within an hour of the flight but long before. The get off the plane on a bus immediately and go to the hotel. This is the NFL, I'm sure they do their best to avoid this issues a common traveler has.

They show up usually at an off terminal ramp. The airplane is ready and their air cargo is already aboard. They get on in about fifteen mins max, and are on their way. There are rarely any delays to takeoff, since they are off hub schedules. Certainly not any delays in Indy or Buffalo. They offload at another off terminal site. The busses are warmed up and waiting and the hotel is not far away. Same on the way home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
