Hell no. Better is a relative term, the Bills would have played with more heart, especially Allen since he’s a gamer, but at best they would have slowed them down some but that’s it. Basically, we’d need the money we paid Diggs to go be a little B word on Houston and ruin their locker room instead for two or three larger, better defensive players to have a real chance. Say a prayer of thanks to Roger Goodell and his merry band of crooked refs tonight for that terrible 4th down spot two weeks ago!

He is my favorite player on the team, full stop. He’s Steve Takser on Acid.

As you wish: [Scene: CBS broadcast of the AFC Divisional Round playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The game is in its final minute, with the Bills leading 31-13.] Jim Nantz (Play-by-Play): “Welcome back to Orchard Park, where the Buffalo Bills are just seconds away from advancing to the AFC Championship Game. With a dominant performance, the Bills lead the Baltimore Ravens 31 to 13, putting the exclamation point on a statement win tonight.” Tony Romo (Color Analyst): “Jim, the Bills have been unstoppable. Josh Allen put on a clinic, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another. He was poised, in control, and led this team with confidence. The Ravens simply couldn’t find an answer for him or for Buffalo’s offense as a whole.” [Highlight Replay: Josh Allen’s rushing touchdown in the first quarter, followed by his 35-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel in the second.] Jim Nantz: “That connection with Curtis Samuel has been a game-changer for the Bills all season. Samuel’s ability to stretch the field added another layer to this offense, and it was on full display tonight.” Tony Romo: “And don’t forget about James Cook, Jim. He ripped off a critical 30-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to seal the deal. The Bills’ balance on offense has been impressive—they kept the Ravens’ defense guessing all game long.” [Highlight Replay: James Cook breaks through the line and speeds into the end zone, extending the Bills’ lead late in the fourth.] Jim Nantz: “On defense, the Bills were equally dominant. They pressured Lamar Jackson all night, with Greg Rousseau and Von Miller leading the charge. And how about linebacker Terrel Bernard? He’s been everywhere tonight, stuffing the run and dropping into coverage to frustrate Jackson.” Tony Romo: “Yeah, Jim, that front seven deserves a lot of credit. They contained Jackson’s running lanes and forced him to rely on his arm, which isn’t easy when the secondary, led by Taron Johnson, is playing this well. Buffalo’s defense is peaking at the perfect time.” [Highlight Replay: Von Miller’s sack on Lamar Jackson, followed by Taron Johnson breaking up a pass on third down.] Jim Nantz: “As the clock winds down, the Buffalo Bills are celebrating on the sideline, and their fans are going wild here at Highmark Stadium. Final score: Bills 31, Ravens 13. Buffalo is headed back to the AFC Championship Game!” Tony Romo: “Jim, this was a complete team win. Offense, defense, and even special teams contributed to this victory. The Bills have all the momentum they need heading into the next round. They’re going to be tough to beat.” [Scene: The camera pans to Josh Allen hugging head coach Sean McDermott on the sideline. Players like James Cook and Greg Rousseau wave to the crowd, and fans in the stands are chanting, “Let’s go Buffalo!” as fireworks light up the sky.] Jim Nantz: “For Tony Romo and the entire CBS crew, I’m Jim Nantz. Thanks for joining us for tonight’s AFC Divisional Round matchup. The Buffalo Bills win it 31 to 13 and move one step closer to the Super Bowl. Goodnight from Orchard Park!” [Scene fades out with a wide shot of the celebrating Bills players and jubilant fans, confetti raining down as the broadcast ends.]

Much better use of AI, you can have it write game scripts (NFL HQ style 🤣). Basically give it the teams, score and network. It does the rest. PS - I know the game is on fox this year, but I couldn’t have the AI replicating another AI in Brady! [Scene: The Superdome crowd is deafening as the clock ticks down in the fourth quarter. The scoreboard shows: Buffalo Bills 35, Los Angeles Rams 21. The Bills have possession, and the camera focuses on Josh Allen in the huddle.] Jim Nantz: “One minute left here in Super Bowl LIX, and the Buffalo Bills are on the brink of history! Up 35 to 21, they’re just a few kneel-downs away from capturing their first-ever Lombardi Trophy.” Tony Romo: “Jim, this is the culmination of years of heartbreak, perseverance, and grit for this franchise. Buffalo fans have been waiting a long time for this moment, and it’s finally here. Josh Allen—what a performance tonight. He’s been unstoppable, throwing for three touchdowns and rushing for another.” [Highlight Replay: Clips of Allen’s touchdown passes, including a bullet to Amari Cooper, and his powerful rushing touchdown earlier in the game.] Jim Nantz: “And credit to this Bills defense, too, Tony. They’ve been lights out in the second half, shutting down Matthew Stafford and forcing two critical turnovers.” Tony Romo: “Absolutely, Jim. Christian Benford’s interception in the third quarter was a game-changer, and Von Miller was relentless off the edge tonight.” [Highlight Replay: Von Miller’s sack on Stafford, followed by Benford’s interception return.] Jim Nantz: “The Rams put up a fight, led by Cooper Kupp’s two touchdowns, but it just wasn’t enough against this determined Bills team.” [Shot of Sean McVay on the sideline, clapping for his players, followed by a close-up of Bills head coach Sean McDermott, looking emotional as he paces the sideline.] Tony Romo: “You can feel the emotion on that sideline, Jim. This isn’t just a win—it’s a statement. For a city, for a fanbase, for every Bills player who’s worn that uniform.” Jim Nantz: “And here it is—Josh Allen takes the final knee, and the clock runs down! The Buffalo Bills are Super Bowl champions for the first time in franchise history!” [The camera captures Allen throwing the ball in the air as his teammates swarm him. Confetti rains down in red and blue, and Bills fans in the stands are crying, hugging, and cheering wildly.] Tony Romo: “Wow, Jim! What a scene! You can see what this means to everyone in Buffalo. Decades of frustration erased in one incredible night!” [The camera cuts to Josh Allen hoisting his helmet in one hand and hugging Amari Cooper with the other, as “We Are the Champions” begins to play over the stadium speakers.] Jim Nantz: “The Buffalo Bills—Super Bowl champions at last. What a night in New Orleans. Stay tuned for the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation, right here on CBS!” [The broadcast fades to a commercial, with the camera lingering on the Bills celebrating amid the confetti-covered field.]

18 degrees, some snow in the forecast next Sunday. Lamar wont be able to move that well in whatever Michelin Man gear he’ll need to stay warm. Between that and the crowd noise, you key in on Henry and you win the game.

I’d say ideally, if you can get the one seed, I’d root for Baltimore to the six seed and then have the Steelers do all your dirty work for you. Pittsburgh knocks out Baltimore in the first round, then they beat up the Chiefs in round two (we will see how realistic the this is based on their upcoming game). Then you feast on Chargers/Denver/Texans in rd 2 and send Pittsburgh packing in the championship game to thank them for all their help getting you the superbowl.

As it stands now. Chiefs would get Ravens rd. 2 since they’d be the six seed (after beating third seed Pittsburgh rd. 1) . We’d have seven seed Denver rd. 1, then whoever wins between 4/5 seed Houston/Chargers. Actually not a bad path. You could root then for a home game next round against cold weather Lamar and hopefully a more run down Henry, who has to slow down at somepoint. Or worst case you go to KC, which we’ve done a million times now and finally send those bastards to bed.

Imagining how this conversation would go down if Beane was the GM…. Rex Ryan: So I want to sign this IK Enemkpali guy…no nothing football related, I just love the way he knocked out Geno Smith with that punch. We also need to make him a captain in the game against the Jets.

Kiko Alonso, the things I did to acquire that jersey…

Just want to be clear, too, I by no means meant to belittle anyone’s feelings today and if they are hurting. It is real, I feel down myself and quite frankly we know folks do not discuss their feelings enough. I just wanted to perhaps find a way to identify the root of those feelings, and it is to me at least understand why I feel the way I do after a game.

Peter King relayed a story last year. involving a fan asking Rodger Goodell about ball tracking with a chip and if that would eliminate the need for things like the chain measurement. Goodell essentially winked and replied, sure they can use more technology, but it’s great drama in those moments, and at the end of the day the NFL is an entertainment product. I follow every Bills roster move, moment of every game, and have for years. Yes, I remember the games and how it felt when the Bills won or lost, but more importantly it’s all the moments in between watching the game with friends, family or 70,000 likeminded strangers in the stadium that stick with me and matter. The game is a means to all the other bonds we make along the way. It has no other meaning outside itself that impacts our every day lives. Which brings me to the last part, while scrolling twitter this morning for all the latest takes, I came across the below from one of the Patriots beat writers and when you talk about a terrible loss last night this really squared things away for me. i sent off a donation and perhaps I thought others might be inspired too.il If you can perhaps, send $17 to honor the great season Josh brought us and how he gave it his all every week. Remember, we are all one big family. Regardless of anything else, the NFL and the Bills are one of the few things that bring us all together across all socioeconomic and political lines. The outcome of any one game or season never matters, it’s those around us who we share it with

The Pit Feeds all our dreams.

In the scenario where the person is killed, do we subsequently win the Super Bowl right after? If so, then it would not be so much funny….

Doing my part.
