SF Bills Fan

Our defense is 3rd and theirs is 28th. That’s huge.

Bills 24-Texans 13

If they are sold, they are not leaving Denver since it is a storied franchise in a great market. Not that there are many markets left to move a team to. There are enough wealthy people in Denver to step up.

If Andy Dalton wasn't too much money and was happy to be back up an mentor Josh, I'd take him.

In terms of the underdog teams, I'd say Titans in the AFC and Eagles in the NFC, though I think the Bills look pretty formidable, unlike the team in 2017 that didn't scare anyone

I’ll be there- just deciding whether to go down Friday night or Saturday morning

That is right- likely Tennessee vs KC

I thought the 5th seed is usually Saturday morning. It’s the 6th seed relegated to the Sunday slot. Remember our game against Jacksonville two years ago that nobody wanted to see? Houston is a major market and the Bills are an intriguing team and draw ratings so I don’t think they’ll put it on Sunday morning. I’ll be going so hope it is Saturday.

I went to this game- I was back on break from college. I got drunk at a tailgate and was seen in the background on NBC drunkenly jumping around during a solemn part of the pre-game show when they were discussing the Gulf War. I tried to run right up to the reporter but fortunately, was grabbed by security just in time before I could disrupt the whole thing. After the game, I was certain we were going to win the super bowl- it was only one week later that year. This, the Houston comeback and the recent Thanksgiving game in Dallas are my top three games that I’ve attended.

If that is the case lmi hope they cool it on the QB runs and also work Duke into the offense- what is there to lose?

It would be great if we could get a clue as to which seeds will play what day for travel purposes. I’m driving ftom Austin to Houston- no problem there, but I have several friends planning to fly in and they need to book that. It seems like the 5th seed is usually the Saturday game. That would be ideal

The '80 Bills would and should have won the whole thing. I remember in the my elementary school in Orchard Park we made up and sang a tribute song to the Bills during the playoff run that was to the tune of the twelves days of Christmas. Somehow, it made it on to Buffalo radio. Totally corny, but at the time it was awesome to a small fan like me. I remember being at the Hooks hail mary game. It was a cold and windy day with maybe 35 thousand fans there and this was back when the stadium was over 80k. If I'm not mistaken, that incompletion in the Cinci game actually was a completion, but was thrown after the play clock expired. There was controversy too, as Knox had called timeout that was ignored.The drive would have gone on. Those Knox teams were great- he lived around the corner from where I grew up in OP. He had a reputation for being a tough SOB, but, if you met him- nicest guy ever. Everyone focuses on the 90's glory days, but the Bills won championships in the 60's, should have won in the 80's. Could have won had they beat Tennessee in 2000.

Houston has two airports. George Bush is the big one, but Hobby has large Southwest operations and you may find cheaper flights. It's also closer to downtown and the stadium. An alternative is Austin, which may be cheaper and the drive is about 2 1/2

This feels like he 86-89 era where you knew greatness was ahead. I said this in another thread on here yesterday. We are on the cusp. As for tomorrow- if we can't beat them as we are surging and they are hitting a low point, then when can we? Barring a breakdown, injuries or blocked punts for TDs or other defensive TDs by them, I expect a win.

I’m planning to go if it’s in Houston since I can drive from Austin. I might consider scalping or box office. When I went to the Dallas Thanksgiving game I paid 300 alone in “convenience” fees. Totally criminal charges that piss you off to no end.

I'm old enough to have been around in the 86-89 time frame when the Bills Super Bowl team was coming together and this feels the same. There were growing pains during that time, just like now, but you could tell greatness was ahead. I'd say that this is a more cohesive unit than that group- if you recall the Bickering Bills saga of '89

I like to think that when he arrived up top, he had a talk with the Big Guy who agreed it was the Bills time.

They are going to get at least one Thursday, Sunday and Monday. I'd bet they will schedule one of those in Buffalo, likely the Thursday early in the year.

Not yet. But, if you do Google searches though it looks like all signs are pointing to McDermott getting it.

I think Darnold will turn out to be a good QB. This was a bad year in NY.

The Bills went from being ignored and getting no respect to getting lots of it. I still feel like it is an “us against everyone” mentality at One Bills Drive.

9 is about right considering all of the strong NFC teams. It's good to be in the top 10. Funny that pre-season ranking has us in the lower third and some near the bottom. If we beat New England this weekend, we should switch places with them.

Didn’t hear it that way. He had a few (warranted) knocks on Allen early but gave props as game went on. Gave us the credit we deserved.

Take some shots downfield at least. There is no danger even if they pick it off. Best case, TD. Second, PI and field goal. Worst INT and half ends

That videotaping incident must have hit a nerve in Cincinnati.
