Just placed it at $500. Balls weren’t big enough to go for a grand. But $450 will pay the therapy bill for a few weeks if the worst happens. 

i did this the past 2 times we played KC in the playoffs and the Bills lost. Yeah I won money, but the bills are 0-2 when I tried to “bet against them for good luck” so I decided not to do it this year

I was listening to Mad Dog Russo the other day on Sirius. He was breaking down and  comparing the Bills and KC position groups, head coach, QB, Kicker, etc. He really couldn’t come up with where the Bills have a decided advantage other than maybe Oline.  So he picked Buffalo and said the main reason is they are due to have something good happen at the end in their 4th game of this playoff series… and KC is due to have something bad happen at the end. That’s it. That was his final reasoning which we all hope for.

The Chiefs have played 17-games that they cared about - they average 24 ppg.

 

September - 23 ppg/4-games

October - 27 ppg/3-games

November - 23.2 ppg/5-games

December - 24 ppg/4 games

 

Throw out at Denver in Week 18.

 

23 points against Houston in the Divisional.

Yeah, I can see where it might be tough to recall the last time that happened since it's now been almost a whole week(!) since they were the best unit on the field and completely dominated the Ravens OLine. 

It's freaking amazing. And I know we are only 2.3% of the Bills fans but how this narrative is so falsey aligned to be ongoing. I really don't know why.

 

Before the Broncos game we heard their OL and DL. Same with the Ravens. Both were ranked 1-2, respectively.  We owned their line: offensively, too. The Broncos had the best run defense, Ravens #3 for total yards, ravens #1 & broncos #2 on ypc. In fact, by every statistical measure the ravens and broncos were better on defense except a few regarding passing which lost attribute to their lackluster start until they changed schemes.

 

Our offensive lines beat the best two teams. Our defensive lines held their own against two mobile QBs. The ravens held better offensive stats than the Chiefs, the Broncos were just as competitive.

 

Special teams, without even looking, the Ravens are as good as they'll ever come and I won't entertain the nuance of this argument because it's impossible.

 

All of these stats don't mean a gosh diddly darn thing in the playoffs tomorrow. The best team doesn't always win.

 

But, to the point being argued - the Bills OL and DL have got to a whole other level.

The ‘21 Divisional round game is on NFLN and I subjected myself to watching it.  The ending is so painful my god.  All we had to do was squib it.

Sweet dreams everyone 😭

That literally doesn't do anything as explained multiple times 

 

You can give yourself up on a squib.. you can fall on it at the 25-30 yard line and no time comes off 

 

You don't need to let it go all the way down to the five yard line and let a returner pick it up like you do week three.. in a game ending situation you have the up man fall on it ASAP... No time goes off the ball and you'll get it around the 25 or 30

Somebody on the BB Reddit made a cool comparison to Michael Jordan and Josh Allen. MJ lost to the Pistons 3 times in the postseason and then finally beat them in his 7th year in the 4th matchup. Allen lost 3 times and is now in his 7th season preparing for their 4th matchup. It probably doesn’t mean anything, but I thought it was pretty neat.

I think what Oliver said is true - it’s going to take everyone.

 

The Bills haven’t leaned too hard on one person to carry the load on offense or defense all year. 
 

Balance has been the theme of this thing all year.

Bills fan since 1988. I haven’t been this excited for a playoff game since our boys smoked the Raiders 52-17. We’ve got this

I would feel SOOOO much better if the game was in Orchard Park.

That was the score from Superbowl 27 I think.

It really doesn’t make a difference.

 

Remember when the Bills DL got trucked by a bunch of Bengals third stringers?

 

I’ll believe it when I see it when it comes to the Bills DL dominating a game.

 

For now, we CANNOT go into a game expecting the Bills DL dominating ANYONE.

If you are having to go back in time a few seasons ago, its not a strong point.

 

Im worried about our right tackle situation.  Remember how Spencer Brown looked a few years ago?

Jerry Hughes, Levi Wallace, Dane Jackson, Starr, Micah Hyde, Harrison Phillips, Gabe Davis, Edmunds, poyer, diggs, Morse… seems like a decade ago 

It’s still 14-14 I know when to turn it off 

I mean we all know when to turn it off, we hear that damn number all the time.

It doesn't matter.  It can't matter.  To win the thing at the end you have to beat the best teams and at least one is going to be on the road no matter what. 

Just win baby.

Hope so. It's right there. They just have to rise to the occasion.

It was, though I didn't write that. I tried to correct the original and then erased my comment because it might seem petty. The worst thing about that AFC Championship game was because of it the Bills were overconfident and partied way too much. Still remember watching that 51 - 3 blowout from a UCLA dorm room. My roommate was from Batavia, and we could hardly believe it. Seemed like an alternate reality.

 

I think this team and Josh Allen are ready to grab the ring. The moment will not be too big for them, and no one is tempted to take anything for granted.

we need a middle finger emoji for you posting this @YoloinOhio.  And you know I love ya.

 

But in my dreams, it was holding on the KC Oline, so the Bills declined, and we're still going to the Superbowl

My son wrote Christian Benford and sent him his own game jersey.  Of course, we are the Bills.  Benford signed and sent it back.
