1/23/22 Week 20 Divisional Playoffs Bills @ Chiefs PREGAME THREAD

i keep hearing the media (Michael Irvin and others) say the Bills played so good against Patriots by taking out years of frustration and anger, which seems ridiculous to me. Were any of theseĀ  players or coaches around during New England and Bradys dominant years? How about they scored 7 times because they are a really good team, executing at a high level. Yeah we as fans carry that frustration and exorcised demons but the players I don't think felt all that threatened by them.

Ā 

Hughes was around for some of it. Ā Also, these Bills players are Buffalo in every sense. Ā They know what the fans been through and how we all feel. Ā When McDermott first got here many people mocked him because he came here to change the culture. Ā Many people mocked and didn't believe anything about culture. Ā Culture makes a difference. Ā It shows on this team every day and every week.

Ā 

But yes, they are a really good team executing at a high level.

I think feeling threatened and being aware of the history are two separate things.
Ā 

McBeane, Josh, & Co. understand Buffalo andĀ are definitely aware of the history so I would bet the importance to the fan base fueled them at least in part, but I donā€™t get the sense they are threatened.Ā

Only an hour until Rams v Bucs and also England are playing West Indies in a T20 International. Those will help pass the time.Ā 
Ā 

At least next week (if there is one) itā€™s a 8pm (3pm for you guys) so not as long a wait.Ā

Yes they are. Always good when they play in the Windies as itā€™s perfect time

to watch on TV.

Ā 

No bad luck with The Ashes. They were just horrendous on all 3 factors of the game. 4-0 was flattering.Ā

Poyer started the playoff game telling the team itā€™s the end of an era. Josh Allen ended the regular season game with ā€œwho the eff did they think I wasā€.

Ā 

These guys have a strong pulse on the Pats.Ā

Interesting stat was brought up on the Rich Eisen show:

Ā 

There have been 6 previous occasions where a team has played both a Belichick coached team and an Andy Reid coached team in the playoffs in the same year. Not once did those teams manage wins against both coaches.

Ā 

Records are meant to be broken.

Without looking it up, guarantee that most of them beat Reid and lost to Belichick. The tough oneā€™s out of the way.

well i guess we will find out today if alot of that blowout was just a perfect storm of anger, emotion, and exorcising years of history ,or a team that is just executing at very high and consistent level now. If they come out flat and lay an egg against Chiefs, Michael Irvin's point will be madeĀ

Brady vs the rams kicking off in an hourā€¦..and if your watching any sport channel, you wouldnā€™t have a clue that that game is today. Ā Josh vs Patty Cakes 24/7 coverageĀ 

Ā 

And of that, they're all talking about how much KC has improved since week 5, which is why they're going to beat us today.Ā  They're going to get a rude awakening in 4 hours.

What will your feelings be if the Bills lose?

Ā 

Disappointment?

Anger?

Sadness?

Disbelief?


Letā€™s hope we are allā€¦ā€¦.. HAPPY!!!!!

Ā 

Disappointed and sad. Ā This is a tough team. Ā Its always tough in the playoffs to get to the super bowl. Ā We were one game away last year and lost to this very team. Ā We are two games away right now. Ā LFG Bills! Ā This team can get it done. Ā They just have to execute.

I got as far as this gem -

Ā 

ā€œAlso in a sense Tannenhill is kind of like a crappy Josh Allen. Good arm, good legs so it was almost like getting a little scouting game off on him before weā€™d have to play him.ā€

This isnā€™t a pie. Just because one thing happens, It doesnā€™t take away from anything else.Ā 
Ā 

The Bills can understand the history of the Pats and Buffalo without it being some weird excuse for falling flat agains KC.Ā 
Ā 

What a weird take on your part.Ā

An interesting turn of events...Ā  it's Monday morning here in NZ, and I was prepared to go to work and catch the game afterwards on NFL GamePass.

However, yesterday it was announced that we're entering our "red level" in our Covid response, which means that I'll need to work from home.

Ā 

Hmm... the beer is stocked with beer and the barbie is set to go.

Do you really think I'm going to get much work done today?Ā  Ha!Ā  (I just hope no one video calls me!)

Ā 

Let's go Buffalo!

Pry because both had really good teams.
