The Bills won yesterday because.... (karma reasons only)

[Just Jack]

Again, to see if people read, how did your actions yesterday help the Bills beat the Jets?  I'll start...

 

I took a risk, unintentional, by wearing my Firebaugh sweatshirt.  While not actually a Bills piece of clothing, it is Bills related.  I typically do not wear anything Bills on game day, I just happen to throw it on while running errands yesterday and did not realize it till almost game time, and it was too late to go home and change.  Plus, I watched most of the 4th quarter, live.  I typically will record the game, then watch it later so I can skip the commercials and catch up to the live broadcast.  So that's two things I may have to keep doing the rest of the season.

[WhoTom]

I got up early and put up the tree. This was the first ornament:

 

 

[Jeffalo]

Game was not on in my area, so with RedZone on in the background I decided to spend 3 hours making Christmas cookies.  First batch came out of the oven just as Dawson Knox was Supermaning his way into the end zone.  150 cookies later the Bills were winners.

[transient]

I accidentally left my Mike White voodoo doll out and my dogs chewed the stuffing out of it. Not sure if it’s karmic, but there’s no gris gris thread, so…

[Low Positive]

The Bills beat the Jets? I had no idea.

[IndyMark]

I completed another daily double, folks. Wings on Saturday night and Wings on Sunday pre-game.  I had a bad feeling about the game so I doubled down and well, you know the result.  2 different places, 2 different sauces so it is like a new experience each time.

 

Again, no need to thank me.  Just doing my part.

The Bills are now 2-0 this season when I have a hangover. 

[Big Turk]

I wore my Edmunds jersey for the first time all year! Wore White last week...D allowed 10 points in 2 consecutive divisional games...hmm...something to this I think!

[thenorthremembers]

Took my family out to dinner on Saturday night.     Ill have to do it again on Saturday.  Should I go to the same place?  Should I make them eat the same meals?

 

Off topic Center St. Smokehouse in Batavia has very very good smoked wings.

[Bills!Win!]

The bills are 10-0 when my wife and I watch the game live and not on rewind

I was trying to think of something, and this might just be it. I wore no Bills gear and drank only water. I watched upstairs because my mom with mobility issues came over to watch the game on my Sunday Ticket account. So I did none of the things that I usually do. But, I did go to a Christmas party on Saturday night and had a massive red wine-triggered migraine (the worst kind IMO) so maybe that was it.

We play on Saturday night, so you had better make that a Friday night dinner.

I considered this as well.  But we play at 8 and we are young old people who eat dinner at 5pm.  

[muppy]

I wasn't able to watch most of the first half. I got home just as we scored the TD to lead 7-0

 

Hence muppy in front of her TV with the game on  was clearly the determining factor to our Teams win.

 

you're welcome.

 

😉

Keep it up Simon just might be Bills good luck charm. Lol 

[BuffaloBillies]

Committed to doing the tree and decorations around the house after the game.

But I said if the Bills lose, Christmas is cancelled.

Ah, the magic of Christmas.

[Gugny]

Did my normal routine - Don Bills apparel, go grocery shopping. 
 

Took down the winter/holiday flag and replaced it with the Bills flag. 
 

After the first quarter, I switched hats. I had my blue hat/red standing Buffalo on because my normal game day hat (red with white standing Buffalo) had remnants of my last haircut stuck in the inside, making my forehead itchy. 
 

So I rubbed the sh*t out of it to get the itchy hairs out. Luckily it worked and the Bills offense ended up getting going. 
 

You’re welcome.

I came to a mind-blowing realization yesterday.  All of my deeply-held beliefs that what I did on gameday had a direct correlation to what happened on the field were wrong.

 

Yesterday I went against just about every element of my usual game-day routine, and I felt uneasy because of it.  Left the house 2 hours later than usual, forgetting to put on my game-day jersey.  Cruised through the airport to pick up my sister fresh off a flight from Charlotte NC.  DID NOT do any tailgating, and walked into the game through a different gate.

 

But we won.

 

[Punching Bag]

I wore my Thurman Thomas Hall of Fame T-Shirt. 

I only wear it on games which I believe the Bills will need to run and do it effectively.

Your sister is now required to fly in the day of every last home game this year. 

 

Did you wear the kilt?  Was that your one constant?  Because that would count. 

 

[wjag]

Simple, I attended.  I am 3-0 (Ravens, Steelers and Jets) this year with the Bengals game left.  I would be 4-0 but they moved my Cleveland tickets to Detroit

I did wear the kilt.  But does this mean I'm barred from tailgating the rest of the year?!?!?!?!?

We lit the Josh Allen prayer candle BEFORE the game started. And I wore my dark grey sweatpants. 
 

You’re welcome.

Hard to say.  The kilt was your one constant yesterday.  Maybe the lack of tailgating is why it took them almost an entire half to score.  So you should tailgate, maybe longer, so they can score earlier/faster.

[Freddie's Dead]

Went back to Little Caesar's for the Hula Hawaiian for me, mushroom for the wife, and Crazy Bread no sauce (they gave us the sauce anyway).  You're welcome, Bills Mafia.

[US Egg]

Ate piggishly during the game, almost half an apple pie and two slabs of lasagna, in that order.

 

Washed down with a six pack of stress relief medicine.

 

Regret it today, my stomach, not the win. There will not be a repeat performance next week. 🤢

I didn't drink at all during the first half, and the Bills did nothing but punt. 

 

As I was pouring my first drink, Knox scored. 

 

I kept drinking, and the Bills won. 

 

I'll keep getting drunk for the Lombardi.

Dutch apple or standard two crust apple?  Please DM your address, I have a case of pies waiting to go for you.

Sorry, my friend but that is not how this works.  You need to soldier up, take one for the team, and repeat what you did. 

 

Trust me, I get your hesitation.  I have crushed 20 wings literally about 11 times over the last 22 or so days to send some positive mojo to our beloved Bills and preserve a win streak. I actually am not (yet) repulsed by wings so I plan on staying strong here.  Give it a day, you got this.

 

You can do it.  You need to do it. We are in this together.  (Any other clumsy idioms I can offer here?).

Hey, if Mike White can go back on the field with bruised ribs, you can take one for the team.

This is a fact . 

I haven't made a Bills Score prediction in 4 consecutive weeks

You are welcome 😊 

[SinceThe70s]

Last game my Squirrel Winter shirt arrived on game day and we won. Yesterday I wore it and we won again. All hail the snow-clearing rodent!

That is near herculean, gastrointestinally and financially. Thank you for your efforts.

We're two pages in and, by golly, I think everyone finally gets it!!

The big question is....Ranch or Blue cheese?....and preferred cholesterol medication?

[DaggersEOD]

As mentioned previously, I un-retired my old lucky shirt after the Vikings game, ending the losing streak. 
 

Last week, I forgot to bring said shirt on a business trip, so to appease the football gods, I had my wife wear the shirt bra-less. Seemed to do the trick. 
 

But now I obviously messed with the mojo. 
 

Right after JA got sacked, essentially ending the drive, I took the shirt off and had the wife put it back on bra-less. 
 

The mist turned to snow and the game turned on a dime. Never in doubt after that. 
 

Now I need to find another lucky shirt, but my wife has new mandatory gear for Saturday 😁

karma

...

4. the good or bad emanations felt to be generated by someone or something

 

 

If people are superstitious, then they believe that their actions (i.e. silly rituals) generated the aforementioned good emanations (Bills victory).

 

I'm not superstitious, but I participate in the thread because it's fun. We all need to lighten up now and then; some more than others.

No one is stopping you from having fun or being wrong.

 

So lighten up.

I think the Bills won yesterday because they gave the jets the first game. Allen was very generous with a couple of turnovers (a few weeks ago) so to revive a couple in return was a nice way of giving back from the football gods. Plus I still haven't showered.
