Ouch!😲🤬 I just pinched myself! I AM awake and the Bills are actually playing in the AFC Title game later Today! The entire season has seemed to be a dream! Especially considering how low our expectations were last August. To win vs the Lions, the Chiefs, Titans, Seahawks and 49ers while sweeping the Dolphins & Jets was simply unimaginable! When we won the AFC East the day after Thanksgiving I KNEW I was dreaming!😴 But it really did happen and I have a painful pinch bruise on my arm to prove it! We won 5 of 6 games against the Division nobody believed we would, went 3-1 vs NFC and 10-3 vs the AFC with a meaningless finale loss to NE*. We’ve had a surprisingly effective rookie group deliver this season and Cole Bishop will step in for the injured Taylor Rapp tonight at Safety. Two challenging Home playoff wins followed and now here we ARE! Wearing our War Whites and ready for the Chiefs again with a Super Bowl berth to the winner -Again, and for the  *4th time in our history!

 

We’ve debated ad nauseam all year the tribulations of our Defense. Weak against the run, not enough pressure on the pass rush and conjecture about why. Milano missing 2/3’s of the season, other starters missing many games combined and Benford is trying to come back tonight with Rapp and Spector already ruled out. Bobby Babich has had a challenging 1st year as DC trying to effectively institute McDermott’s overall design with a questionable lineup. I anticipate full attention to the D in the Draft and a FA or 2 being sought soon. But that’s for the offseason. It MAY start tomorrow but what’s at stake TODAY is giving Joe Brady and #17 fighting chances against the back to back Champions in their place! KC is attempting to become the 1st team in history to win 3 straight Lombardi Trophy’s while tying our 4 straight Super Bowl appearances. If this isn’t enough to bring out the best game of our current players careers, we acquired the wrong players.🤷‍♂️  If it’s true what Brandon Beane says, that the playoffs highlight the issues that need to be addressed, I fear poor DT & DE play may rear its ugly head tonight. 

As for KC, Yes, they still have Mahomes and his unique brand of talent.  ‘Mr. Swift’ is still a very dangerous TE  and a couple of their secondary are elite. DHop & Chris Jones are also studs but they -like us- otherwise have a lot of jags sprinkled throughout. They only lost 2 games this year but we all know it could easily have been 5 or 6..🤦‍♂️ They threw away their season ender in favor of a quasi bye because SOMEBODY else beat them outright. 🤔 Btw, Joe Brady is staying! 😀

They CAN be Beat! We know this because We’ve done it this season and 3 other times in recent years. There’s no fear anymore. We just must continue to play within our schemes and not turn the ball over. There’s a calm, matter of fact resilience with the Bills this year. We’ve seen it and taken notice! Stay on target Bills. Play within yourselves with an eye on the prize!

 

You CAN do this, so GITERDONE!

 

Go BILLS!

I have faith. Josh & Sean have been there and done this. I believe we’re the better team. But this challenge is Monstrous with KC attempting to rewrite NFL History!

That 1966 AFL Championship game was the first time I ever sat down and watched a Bills game on TV (I think it may have been the first time I watched a football game start to finish).  I was 11 and it occurred to me that, living in Rochester, Buffalo was OUR team.  (In those days, the Bills played the occasional preseason game at Aquinas Stadium in Rochester.)

 

Anyway, this is an important anniversary for me.  And against KC again!
