Anyone else here going through "The Calmness?"

[london_bills]

I don t think I've ever experienced 'Calm and Confident' with the bills and then a win. I can understand why but people are way too confident about us winning when we play the best as underdogs

Yeah, it seems like people are really glossing over the fact that KC only lost one game this season. Granted, it was to us...but still.

We've all been here before. But I can't bring myself to worry of a heartbreak. For some reason I'm not concerned today.   We'll all be alright, because our destiny was written long ago. 

 

Does your heart feel a strange calmness today?

 

I am 43, been a fan all my life.  I know better than to set myself up for disappointment later.  I feel this same calmness as well.

[Punch]

I'm 100% calm. It's a combination of being older, Josh Allen's maturation and the composition of the current roster. We've been through it all with McDermott and company and they've evolved together as an organization, battle hardened and wiser.

 

I'm calm and I'm ready. Clear eyes, full heart, can't lose. Go Bills.

No not at all.  My nerves are absolutely buzzing.  Don't get me wrong I think we can win but the stakes are so high I cannot remain calm right now.  I'm just thankful I was able to calm the nerves throughout the day yesterday and get some stuff done.  Today I just feel wired

If you want to see overconfident, look at Chiefs fans.

Many predicting a double digit win.

If that happens, this site is going to explode.

I think there has been a universal calm in the fanbase since the clock hit 00 last week.  Walking out out of the stadium for those who park on the south side, there is a procession walking down Abbott Road.  The crowd was church silent. No hooting or hollering, no exclamation of our dominance.   The crowd realized there is work to be done, the celebrating must wait.   Winning last week was a formidable task.  As I said to anyone listening, you have to beat good teams to win a Superbowl. We are one of the good teams.  Win or loose, the team has made us proud.

Weirdly, I feel much far more calm and confident than I was last week against the Ravens.  Intellectually, I know the Chiefs at Arrowhead in the playoffs is a huge mountain to climb.  But intuitively I feel like this will be an easier win for the Bills than the nail-biting, high-blood-pressure-inducing victory against the Ravens.  

 

Hopefully, my intuition is right.  If not and, the gridiron gods forbid, we lose in an epic rout -  I'll deal with that when it happens.  But I'm expecting the best today, not fearing the worst.  

[frostbitmic]

I'm calmer this week than I was last week ... Not sure just yet if that's good or bad.

[Whkfc]

I am so stressed it's crazy. I feel like puking. I just want to beat these guys once in the playoffs amd win a SB.

Very good.  Yes.  I have this odd feeling of anxiousness but not worry. Whatever happens, will happen.  I can't imagine losing, but I'm not counting on winning. 

 

For me, some of it is old age. 

 

And some of it is just how long I've live with this. 

[Guffalo]

Last week against the Ravens I had some heart pains/issues combined with chest tightening on Saturday watching the other games. Wife wanted to take me to ER, I said I was ok, but I was getting concerned. This week, I am feeling that "Calmness". I think this team, this QB, this season is leading us to this game for a reason (it may be to crush us) but I think it is to finally allow us to break through and finally have the team we need to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Niagara square. The 90's Bills had something, but not quite what this crew has.

So you're anxious...and calm. I do not think those words mean what you think lol.

 

I get it though. Before the season my thought was with all the roster turnover, making the playoffs would be a success. Then my thoughts shifted into "We cannot lose in the Divisional round at home again". 

 

Now what was looked at as a retool year is actually a step forward. I'm satisfied with how the season panned out. Far exceeded my expectations. 

 

Now, since we are here I'd like to finally get over the Chiefs hump and beat them when it matters. Don't get me wrong. But if they play well, have a chance at the end and just get beat...I can live with that. Whatever will be will be 

[UConn James]

 

Yeah. It might just be the anxiety Rx, tho.

 

My best friend’s mum (my second mom since my own passed 10 years ago) died suddenly last week, burial was yesterday.
 

Today? It’s just a game.

[poblano]

I feel exactly like last week,  calm and confident of the outcome of the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 * Last week i felt  at some degree sure about a win

 

 

[Olliemets]

I've shied away from the boards and SIRIUS Radio Talk all week. It will be what it is and I'm trying to maintain an even keel. I have pulled every Bills totem I can find out and placed it prominently around the fireplace and TV. The Bills garden gnome, Whisky Glass, Highmark Stadium Sno-globe, coasters...and of course wearing my Jersey and Bills sweats already.  I can't enjoy game 1 today waiting for 6:30 to come. 

 

Remembering that this was supposedly a "step back" and cap-clearing retool season.............I'm  optimistic.

[Thrivefourfive]

Yes, I’ve made calmness a big part of my game plan this week. Minimum media, being realistic about the situation on the field, not forgetting that Mahomes and Reid and those guys do this everyday, and we’re here for the first time in a long time.

 

Because I know I’ll be sliding on my floor to burn clock just like Ty Johnson in a few hours.
