That is exactly the situation with my 13 yr old "super fan" son - I need to try and remain calm to offset his stress/emotions!

Really bad take, my friend! It's beyond stupid to take a broad swipe like this. Dumb! Ignorant! Not cool!

Agreed! I found it hard to get a dinner reservation anywhere near the stadium before the game (no surprise), so I took M&S as a decent option (and a great location).

Like many things in life, he needs to be balanced but not too balanced!

McCormick and Schmick near the stadium - Hopefully tiger steak is one of the specials!

Kincaid for sure on O - On D, Big Ed!

Bills 31 Bengals 24 Bills are going to shut up the critics!! Well-oiled machine on offense and aggressive and opportunistic on defense.

To me, a lot comes down to seeing the same up-tempo/spread the ball around offense like we saw most of TB game. If our O is clicking like it was last game, we'll be in good shape regardless of the other side of the ball. Mix in some well-timed JA runs and maybe a trick play or two (haven't seen one in awhile). My prediction is a close game, over 55 points scored, and it'll come down to the end. Not necessarily a shootout but a fair amount of scoring.

It's not a 3rd for him - It's [our 3rd minus their 5th] for him.

Want: Bills over Lions; Expect: 49ers over Chiefs

Luckily, I'll be at the game this year! Go Bills! Last year, took kids to the tailgate but thankfully watched the "game" from home.

One of your better posts!! : ) I came away with very similar sentiments. Wasn't too worried at the end but also wasn't "loving it" - But we saw the emergence of some younger playmakers, including Shakir who I practically forgot existed, and Kincaid who I was expecting to catch fire with Knox out. And I think it's clear that this was viewed as more or less of a "must win" so we saw Josh's legs more (I think they want to save that for later tough games/playoffs if they can). And seeing the rhythm on offense was excellent and I'm sure we could have scored more if really needed. And I don't recall ever seeing so many "50/50" situations go against us//fluky crap. If the Bucs started that same long drive in the 4th 1,000 times, 75-80% of the time it would have stalled out completely or ended in a FG. Now we get a 1.5 week rest.

Let's be balanced in our assumptions - If every week is its own thing, that also means we could see the type of offense we expect. And maybe our defense struggles a bit. Who knows. But to assume NE will give us a lot of trouble because every week is different/any given Sunday, the same logic should apply to our offensive struggles - New week/new chance to get on track! Let's Go!! Go Bills!!

I am expecting a balanced, effective attack on offense carrying over from the end of last game (or at least one can hope!). In that setting, it's hard to pick just one player but my vote is Kincaid - 6 catches for 85-90 yards and 2 TDs!

Precisely.

Let's break down the 4-2 for a minute: One very high quality win (Miami); two solid wins (Washington, Vegas); one strange/ugly win (NYG); one "bad" loss (NYJ); and one understandable loss, perhaps, with lots of injuries (J-ville in England). Objectively, that looks reasonably good overall but with a lot of inconsistency. Makes you start to wonder things like "which team will show up this week?"; "are we doomed because of injuries?"; "what's the identity of the offense?". I personally remain cautiously optimistic and am trying to enjoy the ride . . . Go Bills!!

At the time, I thought he might have been down too and that we should've considered challenging it. Oh well. A win is a win but that was not a pleasant evening of football for Bills fans!

I stand corrected, thanks. I hadn't clicked on one of the key links.

I may be wrong about this but I think the 54% is the probability of winning the first round (every % in the table is the probability of winning in said round). So our chances of making the playoffs would be higher than that.

Hard to decide between AJE, Oliver, and Floyd. But I'll go with Big Ed this game.
