I will say this. The Bills are a bunch of really good guys. But in the playoffs, it's kill or be killed. Like you said, we need some special performances like you see from the Super Bowl winners along their journeys. The Bills need to come out this year with attitude, not just that they're going to win, but to bully other large human beings on the field... especially at home. Cooper has to be a part of that.

Well, again, not having a good QB and head coach combo is a franchise killer. Just look at the Commanders.. another example of hitting a home run immediately at QB and head coach. Bears and Patriots, lousy coaches, solid QB prospects.

On McDermott's media call yesterday he was asked about Cooper. Was really not trying to convey anything out of respect for Amari's privacy. But when pressed McD did say he expected Cooper would be back and play.

The league takes the injury report stuff seriously. I mean even Jalen Hurts is still in concussion protocol, for 16 days and counting! So if there is any hint that Cooper has a head injury, or any injury that the Bills are "hiding", that would be surprising.

I like Keon and think he will get better of course. But right now he drops more balls than I'd like to see. He cost Josh an INT earlier this season and has had a few bounce of his hands that could be picked if he is sloppy in the playoffs.

Don't be concerned. Josh is getting it and it's not a token vote due to Lamar fatigue. He earned it. But it has been mentioned that if Josh already had 2 MVPs and this season Lamar had the better record, the MVP would like go to Lamar. I'm fine with that. Lamar has had a great season and like Burrow, he has played hard through the end of the season and racked up stats due to many more offensive plays/snaps. Josh doesn't get penalized for blowing teams out and sitting 4th qtrs. They have a segment today on The Facility, "What would an MVP mean for Josh Allen". They are jocking him today. There's no Lamar talk.

First half worries, then they get it right Bills 38 Broncos 24

People see 38-0 over KC and the Nix throws against Cincinnati and are really hyping them up. Nix has been good though, can't deny that. I watched Denver win at Tampa earlier in the season and he really did a great job with short passing to move the chains. Bottom line, KC really mailed that one in. 29 first downs to 5. Total yards 479 to 98. Wentz sucks. It's funny to look at the Chiefs board and their bickering with Denver fans. KC fans are saying we "chose to let you in", "be grateful and humble about it". They want Denver fans to bow down to them because they allowed the Broncos to enter the playoffs in order to block Joe Burrow. Chiefs fans online can be pretty obnoxious.

Matt Hasselback on Fox said Denver is young and dangerous. He likes the Bills too but thinks this game is more of a coin flip than people think.

It does feel like the Bills need a punch in the mouth sometimes before they get rolling. But yeah, they need to come out intense. I'm a bit worried about Denver's first possession. Nix is a very good dink and dunker. Nothing will sway momentum more than for Buffalo to come out passive on D and allow Denver to dink it and have a long possession drive down the field. They should do what Detroit did to Darnold last night. Just come after him on every play. Take the chance. Don't give the rookie time to dictate the drive. If rookie Bo Nix comes in here and takes out the Bills then some coach(es) better start emptying out their office.

Hang tight Joe, depending how the next week or 2 go, you might have an interview here.

Have no fear. Despite the bluster on all the shows, Josh is winning it. They need show content.

Once it got to 17-16 then 20-16, it felt like the Bills were pulling some gamesmanship and really not trying to win. And I guarantee Beane and McD talked about it a bit during the week. There is no valid reason to help out your division-mate by winning an exhibition game so they have a treasure chest of draft options. On the flip side, once Buffalo went up 16-14, the Patriots absolutely should have thrown in the towel and just run dive plays. That was dumb not to.

Yeah, he said he had an "epiphany" over the weekend and thought about 45 total TDs and 4 ints. and Lamar did enough to earn MVP.

They are glazing Lamar all over the shows this morning. Some on The Facility think Lamar deserves it, but Shady says Allen has the best claim because he doesn't have a Derrick Henry that defenses must account for. Chase thinks Lamar but says Allen sat for over 10 Qtrs and that obviously skews the stats. They won't be upset either way. Acho says he's going to watch more film on Lamar's best and worst game's and same for Allen. He claims he is not decided yet. Voting is Wednesday, Jan. 8th at 5:00pm

The Bills Oline needs to dominate in all facets. They are a good Oline and should be able to. They need to gash Denver with Cook, Josh hitting some easy one's and when things get taken away, Josh will use his legs. He's been holding back a bit with the running, but not anymore.

I agree, Keon looked awful and kinda disinterested. Denver plays a tough man to man and it's getting pretty clear that Keon cannot get separation. Not sure how Brady can scheme him open? I'm not loving having to toss him contested passes in a very close playoff game. Sometimes those are picked and the completion percentage is low.

They are talking about on ESPN how Denver is a really tough draw for Buffalo, and that Surtain will shut down half the field and man to man coverage will cause the Bills fits. Burrow just went 39 for 49, 412 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs The week earlier Herbert went 23 for 31, 284 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT So to me that all does not compute to being this impossible defense to move the ball against. I understand they are a ball hawking D, that might be the bigger concern.

He did ok. I noticed him on a few plays, and then other plays he would get taken out by a lineman and couldn't get involved.

Let's be real. If you re-seed all the teams based on how they're playing, eye test, etc.. Denver and the Chargers are probably 4&5 in either order. Houston and Pittsburgh would be 6 & 7. So the Bills are not playing the true 7 seed in my opinion.

Detroit has been the best NFC team all season imo. They are showing it tonight. Not sure who goes in to Ford Field and beats them in the playoffs. Philly maybe but i’m not as impressed with the Eagles as others

Yeah it took super slo mo to really see it but he grabbed Hockensons arm a split second early

The blood is pumping, the intensity!

Nix has been terrific but he is a bit of a gunslinger. Like early allen style. There will be opportunities for INTs and the DBs need to take advantage.

Which i’m fine with. Bills get to stick to their normal Sunday-Sunday schedule. If they win, any extra rest for Baltimore would be eaten up because they’d have to travel on Saturday afternoon while the Bills are home getting treatements or doing a walk through.
