Stephen A actually made some great points about Lamar's performance in the playoffs versus Josh's. Even quoted the stats: Lamar 6 TD and 6 INT in 6 games Josh 21 TD and 4 INT in 10 games He repeated them three times.

Don’t forget the Tops shooting. That affected our players.

About the Texans' chances: it will have been 3 weeks since Kansas City played a meaningful game. Strong chance they will take a quarter or so to get going. Five years ago, you may remember, the Texans had exactly this situation against the no. 1 seeded Chiefs. They jumped out to a 21-0 lead, but Mahomes brought the Chiefs storming back with 4 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter and won 51-31. However, this is not that Chiefs offense. That was the team with Hill and peak Kelce. If this Texans team can jump on them in the first quarter it could be huge.

Man I love those crab chips they have down there… Herr’s seasoned with Old Bay… oh yeah

Baltimore has a great Afghan restaurant, weirdly. The Helmand. But I think poultry is on the menu. Roast chicken with mashed potatoes and a chimichurri. Course, the game starts at 12:30am for me. Crazy thing is two friends (who also have kids) are coming over anyway. Game’s too big to skip.

Actually I feel calm about it, but no one actually knows what will happen. That’s why they play. Maybe I’m also traumatized because the night before the Bills-Giants Super Bowl I was literally planning how to celebrate our first Lombardi. I do love the idea of inviting a player from the drought to come to New Orleans.

I kinda like this thread but I also hate it—“on the verge” is asking for trouble when we have to beat the two toughest teams in the league just to get to the chip round. We are not on the verge.

Maybe the lesson is you want people who will take big risks, like the Bills did with Josh. That one paid off huge. But maybe you shouldn’t freak out if they don’t work out. Focus on the future.

I thought it was Will Wolford that this situation happened with.

It’s just a nasty huge unit. Dawkins is crushing people left and right. He and Brown deserved All Pro.

Two hours out. I want to thank @Chandler#81 and everyone here for all the effort every week on gameday, getting everyone ready and pumped. It's been an incredible year. Yet today feels like the first day: the day we pickup our actual quest, the unfinished business we all need to get done. I'm nervous. I didn't think I would be. But I am. We have the chance we wanted, that's all we need. I am so proud of the 2024 Buffalo Bills players and coaches and staff for what they did this year. But now it's time to take another step. Time to lay it all on the line, play like there's no tomorrow. Four games left, if we can get to them. Get out there and play your game, guys. We are all here with you. We can't help much, but what we can do we will. And I believe the energy and passion of Bills fans is one of the forces propelling the team. And know we will always be here. Go Bills.

It's pretty clear Lamar is playing excellent, controlled football. Has been all season. Both players had incredible seasons. I think Josh get its this year.

Diggs thought Stroud was gonna be better than Josh, right? Ahahahajahahajah

Chargers, IMO. Much better chance to knock out the Chiefs.

I went to the 44-34 Dolphins playoff game in 1990 and the 51-3 game the following week. My friends and I bought nosebleeds at the top of the upper deck for under fifty bucks (25, as I recall). So I’m sort of glad to hear a regular Joe or a kid could afford to go to this game.

If the Chiefs lost those two games and we’d gotten the top seed, Allen would win MVP unanimously.

Would love to see a real defensive war of attrition won by the Ravens. And the Chargers winning big with Herbert lighting it up. Then we feast on Denver and next week we play the roughed-up Ravens at home, while the hot Chargers challenge the Chiefs.

All Josh needs is to have an average (for him) year and the Bills to be the number one seed. MVP and probably first team All-Pro will be in the bag. For the record, I think he probably has the MVP this year anyway. The odds changed based on Lamar being named AP1, not because of any change in polled voters.

Bills 34, Broncos 22

How many more days??

Today, the parable of Job.. I mean, Josh…

Bills 32, Broncos 20

All season long we’ve been a second half team. We seem to need to be punched before we get rollling. This would be a great time to start just coming out hot from the get go. Broncos and Baltimore are not comeback teams.

Most important thing is that we’re still playing when MVP is announced

Was at that game with my mom. This Bills team is still in its prime, that team wasn’t.
