I would add Prescott and the Cowboys along with the Rams.

I wish I could get paid big bucks to be a professional troll like Nick Wright!  I was watching a video where good old Nick stated with 100% confidence that the Bills and Allen were under the most pressure to win this weekend because a loss would not only be devastating to this season but would be devastating to the career of Allen and the future of the Bills franchise!! He went on to explain that the Bills could never recover from losing to a ROOKIE QB in the playoffs.

I know Nick Wright is as popular on here as anal leakage, but you have to watch him more to get past the click bait his show does.  If you watch his tiers today, he does give Buffalo respect.  Sure he keeps up his cutesy language like "magic mountain Josh", but if you watch him more, you realize he does respect and fear 17.  He knows if 17 brings his A game, he can take down 15.

Tomorrow should be the normal day  that they practice outside, but it’s supposed to be colder on Friday (though they wouldn’t normally practice that day with a Saturday game)

He has basically said he's rooting for the Patriots because he doesn't want the Chiefs to play the Bills.

I would like to point out to Nick that:

 

*  The Chiefs are under every bit as much pressure as the Bills since along with the Bills they were projected as the lead Super Bowl contenders in the AFC.

 

*  And should the Bill's lose Saturday night, and I don't think they will, it will not be to a rookie QB. The loss will be to the greatest coach in the history of the NFL.

 

*  Allen is 25 years old and in his 4th season. If they lose it will only make him hungrier next year,  Ditto for McD & Bean who are both young and at the start of a long & successful run in Buffalo. To suggest a loss would destroy Allen's career and the Bills franchise is delusional.

 

*  I would submit that the team and QB facing by far the most pressure this weekend are the LA Rams and Matt Stafford.  The Rams have traded away their future to win a Super Bowl NOW.  And Stafford is nearing the end of a long career where he has NEVER WON a playoff game.  Should Arizona knock the Rams out of the playoffs and Stafford not play well that would have a bad impact on the QB and team going forward.

No, he’s trolling as per usual. Bills fans must generate clicks.

Don't get me wrong - I kind of like Wright and he's entertaining which is his job.  BUT sometimes his takes are so stupid and so plainly designed to rile up a fan base that you just have to laugh.  The simple fact is that the team and QB who are under the most pressure to win this weekend are the LA Rams and Matt Stafford.  And no other team or QB is close.

Pretty funny from this morning's New York Times (gulp!):

 

"The Patriots’ offense is more of a family SUV than a sports car, and while the rookie quarterback Mac Jones keeps his hands at 10 and 2 o’clock and signals before every turn, he’s not quite ready for rush hour on the turnpike. Jones’s efficiency rating on passes of 15-plus yards downfield of 58.4 ranks 27th among starting quarterbacks, per Sports Info Solutions. Force the Patriots out of their running-and-defense game plan, and Jones looks more like another Zach Wilson than the next Tom Brady."

I liked the Steelers one too - 

 

"Ben Roethlisberger, who is expected to retire at season’s end, now throws and runs like a great-uncle playing a pickup game at a backyard cookout after three I.P.A.s and two helpings of potato salad, and the Steelers’ offense looks like archival footage of a 1928 Pottsville Maroons-Dayton Triangles game played in a vacant lot during a downpour."

Any advice on how to stay awake during the game? It's so late.

I don’t think the team feels nearly the pressure against the Pats* that the fans do. We’ve got 20 years of trauma forming our opinions of this WC game. The team has been very successful against NE the past couple years and were at least competitive in the early McD years. I don’t think they feel anything other than the normal stakes of a home playoff game and in fact I think they are pretty confident going into this game.

 

It’s going to be won or lost in the trenches, as games usually are but especially playoff games. I’ve been very critical of the soft line play for most of the season. I’m happy to see that for the past 4 games, they’ve gotten on a nasty streak and you can see it on both sides of the ball. In most phases of the game they are peaking at the right time. I just hope Josh gets hot again even though he’s shown he can lift a team when the passing efficiency isn’t as good as we’d like. If that happens, look out because we are going to the Super Bowl.
