we know you throw the season records out when you enter the postseason. that is true. I'm a firm believer, as many are, that anything goes and it's a whole different animal come playoff time.

 

I'm looking at the two teams and denver's wins are not nearly as impressive as buffalos, that's not being bias, just a fact.

 

beating the nfc and afc # 1 seeds alone, is impressive. denver does have a really good front on defense as evident in the season sacks total but they are going up against an o-line that has allowed only 15 sacks and a QB that is much more elusive than the rookie on the other side of the ball.

 

sure, nix has been a fun watch, I have not seen a whole bunch of his game but know he has been pretty darn good in a system payton and brees ran well in nawlins.

 

but, for some reason Mcd and his defense have their way with rookie QBs. we'll see if that is the case again today.

 

I believe the bills have been holding back some and saving it for the postseason and their going in to the game relatively healthy on both sides of the ball and that's a good thing!

 

I believe we will see an energized team in all phases today. the defense will get after the rookie, there will be forced turnovers and JA and the offense are going to go off the rails.

 

the main reason I believe they show out today, is this guy right here. he is and has been a FORCE to reckon with!!

 

 

 

now, that is just how I feel. the game will play itself out here soon enough, here's to hoping they come out of it with a dominate victory and advance to the next round.

 

GO BILLS!!!

If this group is ever going to get a ring, it’s going to be because the defense steps up. The offense has been as good as any in our history. They have done it, they will do it, they are not the issue. Our seasons end every year because of the defense. Bend but don’t break, getting zero pressure and not getting off the field on 3rd downs is NOT acceptable.  Laying back off WRs, hoping a team gets bored and makes mistakes is not going to work. Our offense is crazy aggressive. They fear nobody. Why is our defense so passive? All you hear is they don’t want to get beat over the top, they will give you the run. ***** that. Read the room and Set the ***** tone.
 

We live off turnovers. That’s not sustainable, that’s why we haven’t won a Super Bowl. By hook or by crook, no matter what it looks like..this  defense needs to go on a 4 game run for the ages. Make real stops. Get sacks. Make teams uncomfortable. Tackle right away. No getting gashed by the run, back on skates and then wide open guys on 3rd down. They owe it to this team and they owe it to the fans. We don’t need them to be lights out for the whole season, but we need them to be lights out for the next 4 weeks. That’s the only way we are ever going to win a Super Bowl. You can’t just expect to score a TD on every drive to win these games. The offense needs help. This coach and his defense need to carry their own weight for a change. That starts today.

Well said.

Starting to snow again. The sun was out a bit but it’s grey now.

Im nervous. None of this means anything if we don't win the Lombardi.

Thank you! My current biggest fear is Josh will never win a Super Bowl as a Bill under McDermott’s Defense.. It’s breaking my heart!

Many of us who are objective have the same fear.

Fred Hollins? 🤣

 

 

I've been pleasantly surprised by Mack Hollins on field performance. It pales to his entrance game

Is there no inactive list for the playoffs?

[njbuff]

The defensive line has been the MAIN culprit of past playoff failures.

 

They need to start playing like they are paid and it starts TODAY.

 

Josh Allen needs to be a passenger on the bus for once, not driving it.

I don't think this is remotely possible. Josh always has these guys focused on the task at hand. You can bet they have been scheming for this defense they are about to face at 1:00pm. There is no looking past the #1 defense in the NFL at getting to the QB. Plus, they just lost to this team a year ago while Russ was the QB. They will be locked in. This is Playoffs Josh .  

 

Especially with Broncos players flapping their gums about us. Keep it up. We like it 

[Casey D]

Out getting my Blue for the game here in Maryland.  They are all pulling for the Broncos big time and got into some good trash talking with the beer guy about Allen and Jackson.  Fun!

That means the previous decades of this franchise are meaningless.  So you should be fine as you’re used to it.

Sheesh what happened with Carter

It’s really too bad, but Carter just has not been able to regain the form he was showing prior to the injury.  I am sure he will be back full force next year.

Looks like Ray Davis is our returner today on both KR and PR.
