Buffalo Ballin

This made me cry. It's been 27 years. Pour one out for the countless Bills fans, and the people who witnessed our struggles, who died since then. The previous one was 1993. I was only 10 years old. Seems like an eternity of heartbreak. But eh, that's all in the past. The present is magical. - Josh Allen is a Superstar QB. - Stefon Diggs is a Superstar WR. - Our defense is currently THE BEST in the AFC. We're obviously lacking an explosive RB. Every time I see us run the ball: Oh well. We'll make it work. This is a season for the ages. I don't give a f*ck who we're facing in the AFC Title game. Drink up and sober up. We got business up ahead. To be The Man, we have to beat The Man. I will definitely be watching Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs vs. Baker Mayfield and the Browns. I want us to dethrone the Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs. F*ck Baker Mayfield. Our team and our QB should do it. Bring their @sses to us. We're ready. We'll bring it. As long as the defense performs like they did against The Ravens and Josh Allen is clicking then we have a good shot on any field.

I disagree with Bill Laimbeer and I've seen some of his game. The true king of flopping, of all time, is James Harden.

Lamar Jackson is a great QB who showed his lack of passing proficiency this season. He'll be fine and he WILL be back. Count on it. This is merely the beginning of Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson. I love it. Bring it on. We want Josh Allen to be the best? Then he has to battle against some of the best. To unleash the best from Josh. Even some of the best will fall and come back stronger. What an exciting era. I wouldn't crucify Lamar Jackson. I'm looking at Roman their offensive coordinator first. I fire him immediately. Then look at their defense before I even arrive to Lamar Jackson. I give Lamar 2 more seasons to have him work on his passing. I'm confident he'll do it.

They usually do. It's not the Ravens' defense that is the problem. It's OUR defense that is the problem. If we're not clicking on that end, we're f*cked.

People here were slapping me for it. We still have a lot to prove. That's why we take the field. One of the official mottos this year is "Humble and Hungry." Tons of people are forgetting the "humble" part. Now, let's go out and try to win this thing.

As long as we don't come out flat to start the game. I don't want our offense to be going "3 and out" very quickly with the first 3 drives. And the Ravens can't score with their first 3 drives. - No fumbles from us. - No interceptions from us. - No easy field positions for Ravens to be within the Red Zone.

Don't get mad. Get even. Bills have to prove it this Saturday night. Let Lamar Jackson get his shine. So what? He IS a Superstar. He is the 2019 league MVP. If the Bills send Lamar and the Ravens home then Josh Allen officially becomes a Superstar (beyond a reasonable doubt) without needing to get a league MVP (in my humble view). To me, this is a GREAT thing that Lamar is getting all the press and most of the national sports media picked Ravens to win. Because it's a huge jinx and puts ALL of the pressure on Ravens to win again on the road. Stefon Diggs and Josh Allen are highly competitive personalities. I'm very sure, for them and Bills Mafia, that this is bulletin material to prove the doubters wrong. This trickles down to the rest of the Bills. Especially our defense, who is getting sh*tted on right now with these talking heads. Rightfully so. Ravens defense is good, but it's not historic. Because their secondary sucks. It's nowhere near the level of 2012 Super Bowl Ravens. It's damn well nowhere near historic as 2000 Ravens. Their passing offense is awful. They are the worst in the playoffs right now. If it's snowing (even a little bit) then Lamar will not throw a lot. It might snow on Saturday night, but I'm not counting on it. We should be airing it out regardless if it's snowing. Our team is unbalanced (great offense/mediocre - bad defense). The Ravens is unbalanced, too. (great defense/mediocre - bad offense). Obviously, this is NOT the match up we wanted. That's ok. I don't fear these guys. No fear at all. Lamar and Ravens CAN win this game. It's no mistake they're here. Like I wrote somewhere else, I give us 60% chance of winning since we have home field. If this game was in Baltimore, I give us only 40% chance of winning. This is gonna be a grind it out slow burn slog fest. Defense usually wins though. Our defense has got to be clicking on all cylinders and we done that a few times this season. VS. Patriots, Chiefs (yes even in that loss), Chargers, Steelers, Broncos, Dolphins. We can even argue that we did an ok job against the Colts last Saturday. We have to perform better though against Ravens because we seen better from this group. That Colts team was definitely balanced. And we won. We did stop the run a few times at goal line. Old Man Rivers >>> Lamar when it comes to throwing the ball. We'll be fine, win or lose. What a time to be a Bills fan. We gotta circle the wagons. We owe Ravens one. They beat us 3-0 in the previous 3 match ups. Josh Allen has YET TO WIN against Lamar, 0-2. It's time. Will we get it done? We'll see. Lastly, Charles Barkley officially chose us to go to the Super Bowl. He's part of Bills Mafia.

C'mon man. Dude.

The Ravens is the BEST Defense we're about to face. Last week, I had us at 85% chance of winning against the Colts. We did it. Currently, I give us a 60% chance of beating the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore defense had their way with Derrick Henry, who had over 2000 yards and 21 touchdowns, which is a league MVP caliber season. Ravens made him look like a scrub. On Titan's turf. If it's snowing then that favors us BIG TIME. If it's snowing then I increase our chances back up to 85%. Lamar Jackson HAS to run. There's no other way. He's more than 50% of their offense. They know it. We know it. Don't let him go crazy running. When he does that wildcat crap, obviously Lamar will run the ball. Obviously, keep an eye on Dobbins. Ravens' passing offense is weak. Been weak all year. Weak against Titans last Sunday. Titans' defense sucks and Lamar barely threw the ball against that abysmal defense. Our defense better not repeat our performance against the Colts. When Lamar drops back to pass, most likely he's gonna run. Not throw. Especially if it's snowing. Watch their TE Mark Andrews. We got a double dose from the Colts. We should show that we learned from that. Josh Allen cannot get hurt. Ravens will look to knock him out of the game. Just slide or run out of bounds. Don't try to be a hero. When he's about to get sacked, just go down. No fumbles on our side. Ravens will try to eat the clock. We have to eat the clock. No rush to score. Let Lamar and the Ravens offense freeze up on the sidelines. Do NOT punt on 4th and 1 near the red zone. It's outdated thinking. Just go for it or kick a field goal. That's it. No punting. Titans and Steelers recently paid the price for that old school philosophy of field advantage. Lastly, let Josh Allen air it out with his cannon arm. 50+ pass attempts. Just don't go to Diggs early in the game. Don't telegraph that. Save Diggs for the 2nd half. Target Beasley, Davis, MacKenzie, Knox, John Brown, and Singletary in the first half. Keep Ravens thinking. This is why we fought all season to get home field despite Steelers, Titans, Seahawks, and Washington Generics not protecting their sh*t. I'm sure some fans will be at the game just like last Saturday's game. That's good enough. There's psychological comfort knowing that we do not have to travel. We're comfortable in our conditions and the field.

10 degrees outside? Snow? Blizzard? It's gettin' too hot in here. Turn on the AC good lawd haaave mercy. We have to make the Ravens NEVERMORE.

Doesn't matter who it is. Teams will eat the clock when they get the ball. We know what's going to happen. It's really about "what are the Bills gonna do about that?" Bills have to play better especially on the defensive side of the ball. Gotta stop the run and get deflections.

Agreed with OP. Sometimes I thought, "WTF is Daboll doing? Did he want us to lose the game?" And Leslie Frazier's defense, "OMG. That was bad." Imagine when we're clicking.

AllenDiggs. Bass. Poyer. Hyde. Beasley. (surprised that he played) Nice win. We passed a really good test. Homefield ALWAYS matters. No one else can argue otherwise. Even in Covid-19 era, homefield is crucial. Imagine if we played in Indy... The Ugly: Losing RB Zach Moss. Josh Allen taking hits that he shouldn't be taking when he runs the ball. Can't do anything about it now. Have to draft power running back in the summer. We finally got the 25 year old playoff winless drought monkey off our backs.

Josh Allen looked like Superstar LeBron James of QBs with his skills and stats. Unbelievable. Not "passed Elite" yet. Just win the next playoff game. Don't f*ck it up. Josh almost handed the game to the Colts near the end there with that near fatal fumble. JA17 is a Top 3 NFL Superstar QB. Keep it up. Work hard. Stay humble and he WILL be NUMBER ONE.

The hell is this? You scared of being good? I happily take the #2 seed. On any season. It's super difficult just to get here.

Stefon Diggs is 100% playing this Wild Card Weekend. Cole Beasley is out, but will 100% play if we make it to the 2nd round. John Brown is here and will fulfill Cole Beasley's absence. Gabriel Davis is here. Mackenzie is here. TE Kevin Knox has to step up. Absolutely no need to panic.

This was a magical regular season, gentlemen. 13-3 record. Sweep division. 2nd seed in AFC. This is rarefied air. Been a long time. Last time we were here, it was 1991. 1991. 30 years ago. Whenever we get THIS good, we made it to the AFC title game. Every time. The playoffs started for us against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. We made them bend over didn't we? Dolphins defense is ok, too. That was a great litmus test for us. Those Dolphins were fighting for their playoff lives and we demolished them. Even with our 2nd stringers. - Josh Allen is a Top 3 NFL QB and a league MVP candidate. That's super. As much as I love Jim Kelly, I never considered him a Top 3 NFL QB. - Stefon Diggs is a Top 3 NFL Wide Receiver. Andre Reed and Eric Moulds were awesome, but they didn't put up freakish stats like Diggs. - Tre'Davious White is a Top 10 NFL Cornerback. - Jordan Poyer proved that he can snuff out m'fers leading the team in solo tackles. - This is, perhaps, Josh Norman's and Jerry Hughes' last chance to get to the Super Bowl since both of them are 32+ years old. - The O-line is great. The best I've seen since the early 1990s Bills. I give us an 85% chance of beating the Colts this Wild Card Weekend. Because we showed our strength this season and we have homefield. That cold will affect the Colts. Colts defense, when it's clicking, is perhaps the 2nd best defense this season. I should know because I had Colts Defense for my fantasy team. It's a great test for us. The new generation of Bills is here. My message to Colts' fans:

F*ck the Coach of the Year. Give it to Cleveland Browns HC. As far as I can tell, getting COY award doesn't mean crap when the coach can get fired in a year or two. I'd rather get into the AFC Championship game. To sniff at the possibility for a return to the SUPER BOWL. I'll take that instead.

I'm not a Chiefs fan so I don't know. I'm not gonna speculate how a Chiefs fan thinks. You can if you want.

Celebrate if we ACTUALLY win. Why are we even talking Super Bowl? Talk Super Bowl if we win the AFC Championship. Then we can talk about Super Bowl all we want. We haven't even won ONE playoff game yet. Take it game by game. That explains it. And you still didn't learn anything from that. Well I'll always welcome your input since we're Bills fans. We both wanna win. I'm more realistic in my approach. I've been through your approach with "expectations" during the early 90s. Never again. Carry on.

What happens if we face Pittsburgh during the playoffs? Yeah, we're gonna need that homefield regardless of fans.

You see what I mean? Temper your expectations. Where were you when the Bills lost 4 straight super bowls? We had expectations back then and it was all destroyed. You didn't learn anything from that experience, kid? Were you even born yet?

LOL Nope. that's not happening. Better get rid of those expectations. You'll end up disappointed. Just be content that we're 12 - 3 without any major injuries to key players yet with MASSIVE strides to Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. Our defense raised their level, too.
