The national media narrative since the Bills won

KC is afraid of Buffalo.  Buffalo is like a rising tide, about to flood Arrowhead.  Its been building for 17 games.  Familiarity breeds contempt.  5-5 the last 10 meetings.  Bills have KOed the top contenders.  KC struggles against mediocre teams, and eek out wins.  KC knows they are in for the fight of their life.  JA17 gives them nightmares

High Tide!!!

Harbaugh also screwed his team.  Got greedy on the first 2pt. conversion... What was he thinking!  Chasing points, he didn't need to tie there! If he makes 20-21 then it's tied on last TD w/PAT.  Possibly OT if Bills can't walk them off.

 

McD out coached Harbaugh. 

 

The Ravens pulled out a classic Bills post season loss out of their back pocket. Arguably the better team but couldn't get out of their own way, then lost on a play which will be remembered by their own fans forever more. What would we call it if it had happened to us? The Two Point drop? (Football gods - I do not want to find out next weekend. Thanks)

As a Bills fan, I’ve seen this team lose in the most historically spectacular fashions, so I’m not giving a single rip how we won or what the national narrative is. Like Peter shrager said this morning…this might be the first time that something like that didn’t happen to us. I’m not going to let it bother me one bit. 

Everyone has seen us lose in a multitude of ways which is how these narratives come to life. A dropped 2 point conversion to tie the game becomes “losing the game” because we’ve always lost those types of games. People assume that if they tied it, we would definitely lose.

we already have the Ronnie Harmon famous "drop" vs Cleveland many years ago.  So we have ours already.

I don’t believe that.  Wilbon is an intelligent guy.  He is above that stuff.

Correct and why he won’t get into it publicly.. or has a good friend associated with the Ravens in some capacity. Yes he always been above that good point.

"Arguably better teams" don't turn the ball over 3 times and then try to get their act together in 2nd Half and pull game out of their azz.

 

The arguably better team won on Sunday. Period.

 

Now... Don't get me wrong, I got nothing against my team NOT being the better team and winning, that was simply not the case on Sunday.

 

What we call it?... Like getting screwed by the Refs on a bogus holding call that whacks a very likely scoring drive.

 

Anyway... No team can cough the ball up 3 times while the other team doesn't and still declare they are the "arguably better team."

IF the Bills win Sunday. IF, I like our chances against either team in the SB. The media narrative will be well Mahomes had an off year; Kelce is old, he lost Wr's and had to bring in old man Hopkins and Hunt to work with. Lamar was without his top weapon, Houston is too young at QB, therefore the Bills won in a down year.
