buffalonian Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I’m doing a 30 minute meditation before the game. I’m hoping that will provide me with some sense of serenity during the game. Last week my Apple Watch heart rate alert went off in the second half. I’m hoping to avoid that today. Go Bills! 1 Quote
Orlando Buffalo Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I was much more nervous before the Ravens game than right now. I definitely feel we are the better team at this moment for the first time during this run and know of we execute well we should win. 1 Quote
JMM Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I'm a bit nervous but overall calm. Again this team has overachieved this year and I am very proud of them and very confident about our near term future. I've been a fan since the early 70's and of course I want to see a SB victory, but I really want to see it for this team, especially Josh. Quote
Comebackkid Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago at this point right now..im pretty calm....now when the game starts I might more closely resemble someoene that just decided to go cold turkey off heroin.. but one thing about the 13 second game, now its like im numb to what ever happens. sure i'll be dissapointed after but what will happen will happen and u have to be able to deal with that and not let it ruin your day, week, or year afterwards. Go Bills! 1 2 Quote
Dr.Sack Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Me. The previous 4 years I stayed up till 4am. Last night I got in the hot tub for 30 minutes then slept like a baby. I feel really good. 1 Quote
sven233 Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Exactly the opposite, unfortunately. Believe me, I would give anything to be calm and confident. Instead, I feel like I am a ball of ever changing emotions. Some minutes I'm fired up, some I am a stressed out mess. One minute I am just going through the ways we can win and the next minute I am telling myself not to even contemplate winning because of how many times we have seen this movie and how the ending has never changed. Then there's moments where my eyes well up, and while a tear never falls, I realize in that moment just how much this team means to me and this entire city and how much we want this win........ I think I go through this because I know nothing I can do will affect the outcome of this game. I mean, in your own lives, you can control so much of how you deal with pressure situations and you know that if you are prepared enough, chances are you can affect the outcome of a situation and how you want it to go. But in these situations with this team, everything is out of your control and there's nothing we can do about it. We have to trust that our players are prepared to play their best football game of the season to this point tonight. We have to trust that each and every one of them will leave every drop of blood and sweat on that field tonight and do everything they can to bring home a win. We have to trust that every player on this team realizes how much this game means, not only to their own legacy, but to this city. And, while I trust that many of them do, again.......we have no control over it. And if that's not enough, I'm thinking about the refs and their impact on this game. Look, if we were playing anyone else, this wouldn't be a thought in my head, but we all know how it goes with the Chiefs and the refs in the playoffs. The Chiefs get called for holding more than any other team in the regular season, yet have not been called once for holding in these playoff runs. You breathe anywhere near Mahomes, you are getting a personal foul. Need a pass interference call to stay on the field on 3rd and long? The refs are right there to give it to them. Heck, if they need a big play negated by a phantom penalty? The refs have always been there to help them out. I don't normally think about the refs or ref assignments for 2 seconds going into a game with any other team, but it's different with this one like it or not. Again, it's nothing we can control, but we have seen the refs decide games for them in the past and we have to find a way to believe that, in the grand scheme of things tonight, that we will come out of this game, win or lose, feeling like they were a non-factor. It's hard to get there...... The thing is, the team knows all this. I am sure they are feeling all sorts of emotions themselves at this very moment. I mean, I can't honestly imagine being in Allen's shoes today. He is carrying the weight of this franchise and this city that literally is saying "Just give me one before I die". I mean, I know that's what these guys are supposed to be made for. It's what separates pro athletes and superstars from the rest of us in a lot of ways. But man.....the things he must be thinking about today for his own career and legacy are probably absolutely wild. And I know he will shoulder the responsibility and do everything in his power to deliver us a win tonight. But what's different this year than in years past is that I think he knows he has 52+ other guys around him that want to lighten that load for him. My prayer for this team is simple.......play the best football game of your lives tonight to this point in your careers and we'll live with the results. GO BILLS!

Bad Things Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Yup, I woke up this morning with a totally calm, confident outlook, instead of wanting to vomit. I'll take that as a good sign! Let's go Buffalo! Quote
US Egg Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago If by calmness you mean alternating a state of mind in order to do so, then yes. Quote
galept Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Feeling way better this week than the week leading up to Ravens. Calmness is a fine descriptor. Quote
Whkfc Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Watching ESPN this morning you would think it's Washington vs Philly and Chiefs vs Chiefs today. Quote

Or do you mean with the modern day Allen/McDermott iteration? Quote
BillsFanJ Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago (edited) I also know what we've been through as a fan base ... Gregg Williams Mike Mularkey Dick Jauron Chan Gailey Doug Marrone Rex Ryan Rob Johnson JPL Kelly Holcombe TrEd EJ Manuel Kyle Orton Nathan Peterman It's been a rough going, so I am relaxing and enjoying tf out of this team. I will likely be an emotional mess if the ultimate does happen. Edited 18 hours ago by BillsFanJ Quote
Nitro Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Not worried. I am calm. Have had the motto Quiet Confidence all season. Quote
JaCrispy Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago 4 hours ago, muppy said: I feel No calm whatsoever regarding this game. If you are thinking this game will be easy think again. NOBODY thinks that. I may need to go offline, or at minimum not post in the game day thread I'm in no mood for piffle or baloney. I'm just being real with it. PETRIFIED It’s not about the game being easy…It’s that we weren’t supposed to be superbowl contenders this year… So it’s like a “cherry on top” kind of calmness…No expectations…👍 1 Quote
