Billsfan1972 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Wildcard weekend it was about "getting off the schneid" considering it had been 25 years!!!! and concerns the Bills were cruising and could be caught should Indy play them tough. Visions of the 2019 Ravens (though the Bills are a much different team). Vs. the Ravens it was the Lamar vs. Allen talk and people still trying to find fault with Allen or choosing Lamar ahead of him..... A loss and it again would have been an "I told you so" scenario. This week KC and with a healthy Mahomes it's all gravy. The Bills win and it's Superbowl and two weeks talking about this Bills team vs. 91-95..... A loss and then it's simply "How do the Bills & the rest of the AFC topple the Chiefs". So yes am in a zen state and will be right through Sunday, only concerned about no COVID-19 issues and the WEATHER......😜 2 1 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 being honest. speaking for myself. it hasn't sunk in. it's weird, I remember how I felt when they went to the first of four back, well, back 31 years ago. I was on cloud 9. today, 4 days from watching them play for the chance to get to the dance, not the least bit nervous or anxious, like your title states, a sense of calm. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 They need to play their best game and make it count. There is no guarantee when or even IF they will get back to this again. We'd like to think this starts a long run of AFC Championship battles with the Chiefs, but it doesn't always work out like that. The AFC is going to be very top heavy when it comes to young QBs and it is not going to be easy to duplicate what we did this year. 6 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 This will be the most relaxing week I'm going to have. Queefs will get demolished this Sunday. I can see Matt Barkely handing the ball off to Yeldon and Dingleberry (Singletary if he played well) at the start of the 4th quarter because Bills already won the lopsided game. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Couldn't agree more. I'm not anxious this week at all. It's not because I think the Bills are going to win, I think it's a coin toss. I feel confident that either way the Bills are going to make a good accounting of themselves. I don't think Josh is going to find the moment too big for him, and I think he is going to play fantastic. I think this is going to be a game that is decided by an odd bounce of the ball one way or another. Win or lose I'm happy with this season. I'm confident in saying, if not this year, next year. That's a hell of a place for me to be after 20 years of beatings as a Bills fan. It's pretty nice. Nice thread OP.

Warcodered Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Definitely feel similar compared to last week's. This is the game I thought they should get to because they were better than every team but KC. Not saying the Chiefs are better it's a toss up for me. They were clearly better than the rest so they should of gotten here anything more is gravy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Agree, when you are not expected to win it kind of takes the pressure off. KC and their fans are feeling more pressure this week in my opinion. The narrative is already written - (1) How great is Mahomes winning coming off of a concussion etc, or (2) the Chief's lost because Mahomes was coming off a concussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it is but I've had the feeling since Sunday night that Elite Josh is coming to KC. I just havent felt as on edge as I did, especially about the Ravens. That said, your feelings will let you down. I was young when the Super Bowl teams played, so I think I took for granted what a grind getting even to this point of the NFL Season is. I think someone said it above, but there is no guarantee the Bills will ever be back in this spot, so lets hope it goes very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 We can beat anyone in this league. I think knowing that Daboll is coming back is a weight off of Josh's shoulders as well tbh. I expect his best performance of the Playoffs thus far and Singletary goes over 50 yards rushing. The Bills score a TD late in the 4th to ice the game. Bills 38 - Chiefs 28. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 i certainly respect KC. but i like the fact the Bills faced adversity late vs Indy and struggled offensively vs Balt.

NewEra Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Good post. I agree. We made it to the Afc championship. Losing the the Colts or the ravens would’ve left me extremely disappointed. We wouldn’t have met my expectations. Losing to the chiefs, while it would sting, wouldn’t ding our season in anyone’s eyes. Mahomes lost to the team carrying the torch in the afc prior to their super bowl win. If we were to lose, sunday, I feel that the feeling after the loss, would be the fuel necessary to get us over the hump next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Offense needs to come out and show everyone what got us here. With both sides playing the way they have shown they can would be a hell of a coming out party.

My resting heart rate is normally in the low 50’s. I was wearing my Fitbit during last game, and basically just about every other play, it was spiking to over 100. I had to actually try to sit back and breath and relax. but this game feels like we are playing with house money. My hope is that both the players (and fans) can just have a ton of fun, and play loose. My hope for all of us is to really enjoy this game and be entertained, and of course hopefully win.

Dr. K Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I lived in KC and nearby for ten years and have lots of friends back there, all Chiefs fans. I wish them well and hope the Chiefs are healthy going into the game, but am so pleased to see the Bills in this game and rooting for them to win. I'll be bummed if they lose, but I respect the attitude the Bills seem to have evolved going into this game, and it gives me a great feeling for the players and coaches. They seem mature and centered and have had their heads in the game. Hope they can keep that quality under the pressures they will face this weekend, and when they win, in the Super Bowl. I can't say this exactly makes me CALM, but it does make me feel like the Bills have a good chance to win. This really seems like the best team attitude the Bills have had at least since the 90s, maybe better than then even.

That is likely why you suddenly aren't anxious NOW........you are now satisfied either way........and you are already rationalizing why that's OK. By chance were you around for the 4th Super Bowl loss? Or Kelly getting knocked out of the WC game against the Jags and then retiring?
