I wonder if McKenzie still feeling the effects of that hit last week? He looked lost. 

 

Thus is a very good point.  I didn't notice it.

 

This was an all-hands-on-deck game, and guys were coming out of every medical situation. No way McKenzie wanted to sit this one out.

Once again, you hit a home run (touchdown?) here. Like you, I was uncommonly calm through most of the game, and it almost didn’t matter about winning or losing. It was evident that these Bills were totally in the game, either way. When Josh didn’t get the call on that obvious leg trip, I began to see the light…I knew that being annoyed would trigger a response. And it did! My poor dogs, after 3 plus quarters of sleeping away the afternoon/evening until the Johnson interception, and the woohoos began. Then passion and reality and joy set in. It takes a little more to get excited or worried than it used to, much better for our blood pressure and health.

 

Go Bills!

I am a older fan too, I think maybe a few younger than you.  My Dad is 76 (proudly wears his Kemp jersey) and he is is total Zen during games.  I am still slight anxious; but in our youths we would scream and yell and and take losses way too personally.  I think time mellows you a bit, and going through so much loss in the 4 falls of Buffalo and the dreaded drought years you don't expect the team to win.  What happened on Sunday is a microcosm of many a drought game.  We would get ahead late in a game, only to see the other team march down the field against our anemic defense to get the winning score.  Or The Bills would be marching down the field and one of the many care-taker QBs would throw the inevitable Int.   This team is special and the feels of family they have build are real.  This game was just a game on the schedule - prior playoff loses makes this game bigger, not forgetting the Chiefs are a good team.  Bills are the belle of the ball and every team is going to get up to play them.  The team has to keep the mantra of McD - hungry and humble and focus on whos next.  Bye week comes at a nice place and the boys can go into it with a well earned smile.

Yes, age has a lot to do with it.  My perspective on games keep changing.   

 

And although I was pretty quiet sitting at home, watching with my wife, put me in Arrowhead or the Harp or Kitty O'Shea's and I'd be as loud as anyone.

5-1 with only two home games.  Slayed our three biggest AFC threats over the past two years (KC, Tenn, Balt).  All that while weathering a storm of critical injuries.  

 

By the way, +66 point differential at home and we have a lot of home games on the way.

 

Hard not to love where we sit at the bye.
