1/15/22 Week 19 Wild Card PLAYOFFS Bills vs Patriots* Pregame Thread

Did you know the Bills have made the Playoffs 20 times in their last 59 years, better than a once in every 3 years ratio?? Having memories of all these years, it seems much worse than this.. Must be BBFS.. Our 32 Playoff game record stands at .500, 16-16 with the tie-breaker tonight. This is just our 2nd Playoff game against the Patriots. They were our 1st ever Playoff opponent, in 1963. 

 

 Did you know we were blown out in that game 26-8. It was the 1st ever AFL “Playoff game” as only the two Division Champs (East/West) had played for the League title. But we won the last game of the season and Boston lost, tying their record and forcing the Playoff. The next week, they got pasted by the Chargers in the title game as San Diego hung a ‘fiddy burger’ on them. This was the year we snatched Jack Kemp from the Chargers, who had led San Diego to 2 title games. After the game, Kemp said to Coach Saban “Coach, we got booed. Next year, we’re coming back, we’re going to win and they’ll be carrying us off the field”! True story and prophetic!
 

Did you know Elbert Dubenion scored our lone TD on a still record 93 yard pass play from Lamonica. 

 

Today, it’s a rubber match against our cheating hated rivals with both teams winning on the road. They feature the genius* at HC, the 2nd ranked Defense and a ‘rag ahm’ rookie QB. The refs are typically of a ‘let ‘em play’ variety and yes, Mother Nature will be a beotch yet again.. All three stand in the way of our heroes, led by the Ultimate Unicorn in Josh Allen and the NUMBER #1 DEFENSE led by All Pro Safety’s Micah Hyde & Jordan Poyer. Fasten your seatbelts and bundle up!

 

It’s the Playoffs, Baby!  WIN or go home!

 

Go Bills!

I believe Buffalo wins tonight. The Bills are the better team, all the ingredients are there now to beat all comers.
 

This could be the start of our greatest postseason ever.


If it doesn’t go our way, it’s been a pleasure to share the journey with all.

 

But…

 

I got a feeling…

 

Buffalo’s going to the Super Bowl.

Happy Play-offs Game Day, TBD! We got a lot of time to get all kinds of work done today. So focus, be productive, get your chores done, and then settle in for a glorious winter evening in Orchard Park as our Bills put a beatdown the Pats. It's going to be a great day, and even better evening all over Bills Mafia Nation.

 

GO BILLS!

Another good thing: Buffalo is nowhere near as banged up entering the playoffs as last year. Maybe by design. Here is Josh Allen in today's Buffalo News:

 

“Throughout the year, I know [Stefon Diggs] didn’t have as many targets and receptions as he did last year and maybe that was a little bit by design just to try to keep him fresh in the hopes that we have an opportunity to be in the playoffs,” the quarterback said. “He looks really good and I want to try to throw it to him as much as much as possible because with the ball in his hands, you never know what’s going to happen.”

 

Like the sound of that. The Bills can go with their "A" game here on out.

Like many Bills fans - my Dad loved the Bills, so I have always been been a huge fan too...

 

Live in Rochester - but our son and daughter have recently moved to Buffalo and they texted yesterday they are both (along with his girlfriend and her boyfriend) going to the game! As if I needed a reason to cheer any harder right?!  Will be an afternoon of WGR 550, Prayer and then Prime Time Playoffs - Go Bills!

Moving the camera angle for a minute, how would you beat the Bills if you're Belichick? I think he has to pick his poison. My priorities would be keeping Allen contained in the pocket--no rollouts at all--and take away Diggs and Knox. Then hope the cold shuts down the long passes and you get some turnovers. On offense, take the air out of the ball, like he did in the Bills-Giants Super Bowl. That's pretty much the only way for them to win against a clearly superior team. They've really lucky to have another weather day.

This tends to be my mantra before these Pats games, rather than the "let's kill these *****!" stuff.

 

They're in my head, I admit it. Approaching these games with optimism for me is like trying a spot a single sock inside the washer as it spins around surrounded by the Music City Miracle Underpants, Leodis McKelvin Fumble Sweater, Wide Right Tee and all the other soiled laundry we've had to change out of during our many years of Bills fandom.

 

That was very poetic, I think need to stop drinking so early
