Watching the Cowboys get man handled by a lesser GB team makes me a wee bit nervous. Bills should win but I think it’ll be close. 

How can one say GB is lesser.  QBs pretty even.  RB edge to GB. 
 

Both Ds are meh.  
 

Came down to QB and HC and GBs younger tandem won

I try to keep an even keel in life in general, and definitely when it comes to the Bills. My four years of HS were the four SB losses. Being around a bunch of teenagers during that time helps you to put sports in perspective. Never get too high. Never get too low. Now if we win the Bowl, I'll probably be as hype as I've ever been from age 12 until now. Today though, nervous excitement. Really hoping today isn't the last game until August. Go Bills!!!

In the playoffs, you either see teams kick it into a higher gear... or their weakest points are exploited and become their downfall.

 

You saw it this weekend.  The Chiefs have struggled badly in the passing game, but were able to make the big plays Saturday night when it counted.  Meanwhile the Cowboys were destroyed by their inability to stop the running game.

 

The big weakness for this Bills team is sloppy play.  It's been this way for the last 3-4 years.  They beat themselves with turnovers, drops and penalties.  The defense is best when playing with a lead.  So when they start slow on offense, games that shouldn't be close end up coming down to the very end.  

 

If the Bills play focused and clean, I could see this postseason being like 2022 (hopefully without the 13 seconds).  We struggled during the regular season during that year too, but really turned up during the playoffs.  My fear is that we get a repeat of 2023, almost giving the Wild Card game away to the Dolphins and then getting blasted in the Division Round.

All true, but when the kickoff happens the players know what is at stake.  Guys have been playing football their whole lives.

They know what is at stake and what has to be done.

I feel pretty good.  The fans that are there will be pumped.

 

This is where having a room full of veterans that have been through the wringer might really show its value. 🤞

Feeling better the closer we get.  I know the Bills still have a sick feeling over their last playoff game vs Cincinnati in the snow.  They are so ready to make that right. Also, the 7 seed won yesterday.  It feels like it would be so against the logical rationale of football to have the other 7 seed pull the upset.  But the Bills still have to play with the intensity light years more than what we saw last January.

We have one more win then the Steelers this year.  They are a tough physical team.  And so are we.  Playoff games should never be easy.  Look at the Bills-Colts game from 3 years ago.  Came down to the end.  If Josh plays well we should win.  But we have only beaten the Chiefs, Chargers, Pats and Dolphins by 3, 2, 6 and 7 pts.  And all 4 games were in doubt in the 4th quarter.  Only the Cowboys' game was a blowout.  But we are battle tested.  So we should prevail.

I have a strange sense of calm today that I really can't explain logically. I really hope it is an omen

 

GO BILLS

 

Are you just having a puff induced zen moment??? 

 

I’m never calm before a game. I often cook something to burn nervous energy, but rarely have an appetite to enjoy it.

I’m seeing better numbers now.  Projected at 10-15mph.  That does make me feel better about the game, but also realize that can change 

I checked OP weather, and it looks like the winds will die a little by each hour. I think towards the end of the game they should be at about 10mph. Way better yesterday.

High...like an 8.

 

Was just out snowblowing and there is almost no wind at all, at least where I am in Depew/Lancaster area.

 

It's cold, like 11 degrees but no real wind. Will be similar to the Patriot game just a few degrees warmer.

Just got done snow blowing in Lake View. No significant wind here either. Not like yesterday and Saturday night when I had to wear my ski goggles to snowblow.
