KC people (myself included) are very proud of the city and are very defensive about it anytime someone calls it a cow town. Try telling a person from KC that Texas BBQ is better and see what happens....you'll get a fierce rebuttal and a list of 10 BBQ places in KC that you should go try. so to sum up....yeah...we are douchebags about it.

I visited KC for the first time a few years ago and loved it! Such a cool city with the one section of town basically a replica of an old Spanish town and all their fountains...they definitely earned their nickname "The Fountain City" as they have the most fountains of any city in the US. I did get scorched at a water park there tho...falling asleep on the lazy river without any sunblock on in 95 degree temps on a sunny, cloudless day is definitely not something I would recommend...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 1 hour ago, dgrochester55 said: Indy reminds me of our team last year where they can pretty much get the job done against the middle and lower tier teams but fall short against the better ones. Their defense is one of the better ones in the NFL, but Buffalo has shredded four good defenses over the last four games. Their offense is a middle of the road one so our defense is more than capable of containing them. Anything is possible in the playoffs, but the only way that I see Buffalo losing this is if they play uncharacteristically bad on both sides of the ball. That last is a fair take. If we're careless with the football or fail to contain on defense. Make no mistake, they have a good enough offense to beat a very good team on a good day (OT win against Green Bay) or a good team that gets careless with the football (Raiders - gave up 2 INT and a fumble). Fumbles (1 by Rodgers, 1 by Valdez-Scantling) are also key to how they beat GB. The Packers may have also felt they'd put it away when they went into halftime up 28-14.

WarGhost2101 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hello! Member of the Colts Forum here for a visit!🤣 Just want to say that I, for one, am one of the optimistic ones for the game haha. I see a great game playing out. Both teams match up well against each other, and it should be a battle until the bitter end. While I do expect your Bills to pull out the win, under MVP (he gets my vote) Josh Allen, I really hope we see a great game!

muppy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 its all well and good for fans to be fans of their respective teams and talk all the smack they want good bad positive negative whatever. All that really matters is how the players will deal with the game today. From all appearances the bills seem loose, determined and focused. Thats exactly how I want them. Not too high not too low get the job done one step at a time..like McDermott keeps saying keep humble and hungry. I as a fan will TRY to emulate tht too. Im excited, nervous and confident but not overly so I'll blow my stack AFTER they win the super bowl though lol LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read some of the Chiefs fansites and I've submitted some articles that have been published to those.

I'd love to visit Buffalo someday....just from reading some of the things posted here, western NY sounds really cool. If you don't need a beach or a HUGE media market....you can do alot worse than KC....really nice, fairly clean and vibrant downtown, more lanes of highway per capita than any large city in the US....traffic is a breeze..you can get from one side of metro to the other in 30 minutes. Experience of all four seasons....lots of thunderstorms. Very passionate sports fans and a really good beer and food scene. Low cost of living....reasonably low taxes. ....and a thriving arts and music scene as well. ......I currently live in the Dallas/Ft Worth Metro plex...and I hate it here.

When the Bills were going through 20 years of football purgatory, I spent many a Sunday cheering for Peyton Manning. Only non-Bills jersey I ever bought. And then I followed him to Denver. I think Allen and Manning are similarly likeable. Thank god the Bills picked it up soon after Peyton retired. He got me through some hard times for the Buffalo. My neighbors are the parents of Colts OC Nick Sirianni. Tremendous neighbors. I can give them some love if they pull off the upset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
