Success

"Aura" is a big factor in winning games. They've got it. No one else does. If they hadn't won 3 SB's, they'd be a middlin' team this year, and have 3-4 losses. But aura is carrying them.

I truly appreciate that we're having a great season - at a time when most nationally, and some locally, thought we'd be taking a step back as we retool. We could win it all this year. Not saying we will, but we'll be as competitive as anyone.

If you watched the Bills SB's in the '90s - you kind of love what's happening to Dallas right now, and how Jerry Jones is feeling.

A fun game - but ultimately, somewhat inconsequential. They'll very likely get the 1 seed regardless of what happens. If we lose, I'd almost take it as a good omen. Reversing the whole "Bills beat them in the regular, but can't in the playoffs." But of course, I want to blow them out.

Next week, we're officially America's team. We were always the ones in red, white & blue anyway.

We're winning some ugly games - but the key there is "winning." And the wins we're getting aren't NEARLY as ugly as the wins KC is getting.

Man, KC really took some of the joy out of the day. This was a great win on a day when we were down 3 top offensive guys and played pretty ugly, but I'm still shaking my fists at the sky.

I only take some solace in the fact that the entire nation is still groaning. KC is getting very close to surpassing the villainy of the dynasty Pats.

For a minute there, it looked like next weeks' game would be for the 1 seed. Chiefs just defining luck this year.

Weird, lucky charm season for KC. Have they won even one game by more than a score?

Can the Broncos pull this out?

Glad we got the pick - but we got lucky on a terrible throw. He was pretty open.

Hollins has been such a key player this year.

Good thing we're playing a bad team today. Gotta remember we're down Coleman & Cooper. JA is trying to do a bit too much.

Martin's best punt of his Bills career.

I think he's been great this season. Really off today though.

Sad for Dak. Seems like a good dude. But Jerry Jones? I hope he's miserable. Truly miserable. I hate to be that negative, but it's just reality.

Honestly, as long as we get him & most of the guys back by the playoffs. Feels like the division is over, and I like our chances in most of the remaining games regardless. We just need to (finally) be relatively healthy for the playoffs.

Pats fans are over the moon about Maye, and think their return to power is inevitable. I watched most of their game last week. Maye was actually quite bad until the last drive. The last play to get to OT was outstanding, but then he threw a terrible pick in OT. I'm a long way from worrying about that guy. The Pats aren't going anywhere anyway - they're run now like we were during the drought, or close to it. The Jets put everything into win now, and there just seems to be something w/ that organization - they can't get out of their own way. They'll have to start from scratch. Miami is the only team I could see being a real threat in the next 3-5 years. Tua is really good if he stays healthy, and they have a decent team around him.

Hopkins was DEFINITELY better in his prime. He's just not in his prime anymore.

Normally, I'd agree. I'm not a conspiracy guy. But you consider some of the crucial calls they've gotten in the playoffs and even SB, and now just about every game this season. That's either a ton of luck & good timing, or something I can't explain.

We'll love him when he gets his 1st sack because someone blocks the QB into him.

Man, the national hate for KC is off the charts now. I think it's actually close to surpassing what we saw for the Patriots. They really do seem to always end up on the positive side of the officiating. The Pats were the same way. I remember when we played them, that part of it was tough, since we needed to play an almost perfect game just to have a chance anyway.

Do we have to do this every time someone has a good game? This was all the rage about Worthy after his 1st game. Now that we're halfway through the season, I am SO glad we did what we did on draft day. Not that Worthy isn't a good speedster, but he's very one-dimensional, easy to tackle, and seems to lack good instincts on the field. No way would I take him over Coleman.

I was just talking about that w/ a friend. I think we're kicking the PAT every time on that one.
