For me I include my 90 yr old Dad - an original Bills fan.  One moment that has always been seared into my brain was a number of years ago we were at a game and my nephew who was just a kid at the time said "I just want Grandpa to see the Bills win a Super Bowl before he dies"

I’m the same with my now 91 year old Dad. We talk at least every gameday. He hasn’t missed a single play ever! C’mon Bills!

GET THIS DONE!

I'm 60 years younger,  have missed snaps but never a game, it'd take a  wedding or funeral. 

Take a video of the OG after we win tonight

Driving up from Augusta Ga for the funeral of my wife’s aunt.  Will watch the win from a Holiday Inn Express in Va.  Go Bills 🦬

[BuffaloBaumer]

Now that the Lions are out, it just became more nerve wracking because now I truly believe that if we win today, we are winning the whole damn thing.

 

Every series today, especially in the first quarter, means so so much.

[CSBill]

HAPPY GAME DAY TBD! It will be hard to get any other productive work done today. So, just get ready for the game, and be prepared to watch our Bills quiet the ugliest raptor of this bird classification.

 

Thus, .... (Lamar and Derrick, and all the Ugly Bird Nation) the Raven(s) “Nevermore.”

 

GO BILLS!

A quick peek at the ravens forum has me convinced none of them are over the age of about 15.

Age or IQ? They aren't particularly bright. I think crab cakes may cause brain damage.

 

All I know is after watching the Chiefs play yesterday, this feels like the real AFC Title game. I really think the Chiefs luck is coming to a close and whoever wins today wins by double digits next week. 

 

Ravens->Chiefs -->Eagles

While the MVP Award is purportedly already decided, Lamar & Josh going head to head in a ‘winner takes all’ Division Round playoff game has more meat on the bone than a brontosaurus burger!🍔 

We’re slotted in the best time frame for a massive global audience (Again!) with the CBS top crew of Nance, Romo & Tracy Wolfson doing the broadcast. Thanks mostly to Josh Allen, we have become the most watched team in sports! Consequently, we MUST get him a Super Bowl championship and this season has proven to date this can happen now! Only 3 obstacles stand in our way and the Ravens are one of them. The other two are our regular season beotch -the Chiefs and the survivor in the NFC. 

 

WE’RE SO DAMN CLOSE!!🤏

 

This ‘24 season has been a national narrative of “Its all over for Buffalo, their window is closed and drywalled over!” But we have 1 thing no other team has! Josh Allen.

All season long, from the Opening weekend through last Sunday, we watched the Bills, biting fingernails and fearing an inevitable doom. 3rd place in our Division seemed all we could hope for. Yet, mostly because of #17, we smashed the AFCE in record time before the early holiday decorators among us put up our Christmas 🎄! THEN, we defeated the Top teams in both Conferences before Allen came onto the field for just one play as we cemented the #2 seed in the AFC! To quote Jim Nance, “THIS IS STORYBOOK!” 

The scene now shifts back to Orchard Park where we haven’t lost all season. The mighty Ravens travel here intent on ending our dream while enhancing theirs. The Chiefs await the winner for the Conference Championship. Both these Offenses are prolific. The Ravens simply bash you in the teeth with seven 300pounders & three 250pounders. Bills are so diverse that you can’t anticipate anything with 13 different players catching TDs. We also average 4.5yrds per carry and scored 30 rushing TDs and added 32 passing TDs. But here’s what grinds me. We’re underdogs at Home. US! The team who hasn’t lost at home since KC in the Division Round LAST YEAR! 7 of our Home games this season were Blowout wins! Nevermind the MVP battle. Forget that we beat the top teams in each Conference. So what? -that the Ravens have 1 more loss. WTF?! Now I hope

we embarrass them!🤬🔥

I get it. As dyed in the wool fans of the Buffalo Bills, inevitable heartbreak 💔 is our albatross. We’ve even given names to our season ending collapses. Ron Smith to the post, Fantom face mask in Cinci, Harmon drop, Wide Right, Thurman’s helmet, 13 seconds and most recently, Bass Miss. The list is long and the opportunities rare. So we’re prepared and conditioned for doom, but we remain ever hopeful of a better tomorrow. Everyone here has lost a loved one or 2 in our shared quest to raise the Lombardi trophy in Niagara Square. We carry their treasured memories in our own quest, looking forward to visiting their resting spot to share the news! So, we bundle up again or prep our easy chair today to witness the next great chance, ever hopeful! In the immortal words of Buffalo legend Tim Russert:

We GOT This! GO BILLS!

I never bought the narrative that the “windows closing.” Not one bit. Really? Never thought a prime 28 year old Josh Allen was declining. I also never bought the team not having enough talent either. Allen had very respectable seasons w/ #1 receivers like Robert Foster, Benjamin, and John Brown (the best of the bunch.) You don’t need Jamar Chase when you have a top 5 O-line, the best pass catching RB stable in the league, and 2 very good Tight Ends. Add more experience to the younger guys and throw in an opportunistic, lightning fast & athletic defense that is consistently a top 10 unit and you have a power house. Another thing to point out on the D is they have a pro bowl caliber player on all 3 levels. Oliver/Miller, Milano/Bernard, Douglas/Benford. The only thing missing is an elite safety. I love Rapp, but he’s not on a prime Poyer/Hyde level. I’m fully expecting Cole Bishop to make a Terrell Bernard type leap in year 2. 
 

The media has no more intelligent insight than your average Bills fan. Actually much less if I’m being honest. Especially us message boarders. We might not be as knowledgeable of the NFL as a whole, but we know our team from top to bottom, from starters to the practice squad. I never in a million years doubted the Bills and knew they would win the AFCE again as they will next year as well. These hot takes are insanely stupid. Josh is having the most efficient season of his career. Diggs was addition by subtraction and Amari Cooper now gives the Bills much more flexibility and Keon Coleman more time to develop. The window is JOSH ALLEN and as long as he remains healthy, the Buffalo Bills will not only compete, they will be a top AFC team.

I think the Commanders are going all the way. They’ve looked absolutely unstoppable.

I’m not super nervous or anxious. I know what this game means and I know how much a loss would hurt. Especially against these #######s. I just feel like we need to do it this time. There’s no other option. The slack is used up and the line is stretched. This is the one…you can’t keep reloading. The defense needs to find a way to step up. I don’t care if we have to win 9-7. Just do it. It’s their time. It’s our time. Just go out there and set the tone and hit them so hard that they fold.
