Best Bills season ever! 11-3 record and I’ve won thousands by superstitiously betting the opponents’ points.

Jets have been tough too, albeit in a different way. I don’t think either can beat us in a playoff game in Highmark personally.

The Lions are now where we were then. Rooting for them hard to make it.

In your OP you cite the “lack of big plays” and then start the sentence with 4th down stops don’t count.

5 years ago making the playoffs looked like a whole room of grown men crying. Today it looks like Josh chilling in the snow with a broadcast crew and boxes of his own breakfast cereal. How the times have changed.

We didn't get lucky against the Jets, we sent their QB to the hospital with clean hits and won the game. Also, if you don't count fourth down stops as big plays then, well, I don't know what to tell you!

Congrats to the team on what feels like a foregone conclusion to us but the first of many hard fought goals for them. Also, 5 out of 6 years in the postseason for McBeane and company. An accomplishment in a parity league. Remember when this used to be big news?

I think it was 34 seconds but yeah, they just need a couple plays to get to our 40 yard line and then...

Almost a coin flip decision. I would have erred on the side of scoring the TD but don’t tell me you can’t imagine a tragic 37-36 loss.

I’m neutral on Burrow. Bengals are great because of 2017 and their knack for beating the Chiefs. Definitely have become my second favorite NFL team.

?

Screw it. Go Bengals. They're our bros and Tom Brady is Tom Brady and ***** Tom Brady. We'll just beat them in a good week 17 game.

I mean, this just isn't the case. Josh threw a myriad of 5-10 yard routes yesterday and the game was iced on a 15 play 86 yard drive that took up all of the last 5 minutes.

The end of the season really separates the wheat from the chaff. At midseason it was a logjam in the AFC East but now suddenly we've got a 3-game lead without even playing our best.

I was referring to the Fins being 0-3 since the guy said they’d sweep us on the way to running the table. McDaniel is both goofy and a good play caller. Is he a bastard? Well, I wouldn’t have put my obviously concussed QB back into a game.

Bahahaha. How’d that go?

I made a thread on his last one that I wish he'd retire for his own sake. Really hope he doesn't end up as a Mike Webster.

Honorable mention to Gabe Davis who came through as the possession receiver we need on that last drive.

Snow came in like a guardian angel when we were about to get rolled. The shot of Bass sliding like a penguin in the snow is instantly iconic.

Special Olympics is one of the most purely good things that people do.

He’s got Dick Jauron on tape admitting that it’s actually easy to win in the NFL but that he doesn’t want to.

It's clear to me now that the Bills are going to euthanize Josh.

The reason it's heartening for me to see stuff like that is that cynics will claim that the negative systems in place prevent people from doing the right thing and that we're all just going to circle the drain because of it. And systems do make it harder. But then you have people who just go and...do the right thing anyway. And moreover, because of the nature of the internet, anyone in power who had a problem with what Agholor did would be rendered toothless.

Props to Nelson Agholor. It takes guts to say out loud that you think a teammate shouldn't be on the field, much less being as demonstrative as he was.

I don't care how long it takes, I just want them to make sure that every important call is wrong. I have difficulty doing small talk with people and I need enough wrong calls to get me through the week.
