From the 70’s and 80’s on through the 90’s and 2000’s I have never felt more confident, more certain, than I do now about 1 of our pro franchises.

50+ years of misery, of ripping the heart out of this fan bases chest moments will not sway what I feel about this current team. I feel it more than at anytime in all those decades.

Destiny Calls, and our Buffalo Bills will answer that call.

I felt that way for the 1st Super Bowl vs. the Giants. 

Never again.

Is it me or is it all the sports media outlets are more fixated on the Baltimore loss more than the Buffalo win?

Because they still need to justify picking the Ravens but it was the Ravens fault they were wrong.

Yes.

Talking about failure in todays world sells. Look at our politics. 

If Bills lose to the Chiefs, Allen will get the same treatment. Some bozos will suggest he needs to leave here. Hot takes, right or wrong, receive heavy attention. Talking about a winning team wears thin after 5 minutes. Sad, actually...

I've gone through all of the analytics and have found the key indicator for the game Sunday.

If we see a camera shot of Tay Tay five times or fewer during the game the Bills win. (as do the fans, BTW).

My plan to make sure that my Bills shirt is visible during all video calls today is a success.  I just learned that the person running the call that just ended is from Rochester.  We'll see what I learn from the next one.

Bingo. It’s CYA time for the talking heads.  Unfortunately, they are given a platform to project their highly uniformed opinions. I can’t change the channel fast enough when I see any of them.

My personal favorite last week was when I heard some random guy say the Bills had no chance stopping the run because “it’s not like the returning starters are a pair of linebackers or something”.

The poor MVP, feel sorry for Lamar, he is taking it hard.  - Next time just throw a better pass for the 2 point conversion.

Everyone knows the Bills lost for Super Bowls. I wonder how many know who we lost to.

The negative story always gets more press.

It's coming. And we will prevail.

Dammit.

Look guys, I don't like NFL, been seeing some highlights last few years since Josh Allen got drafted.

Mostly because well im a sabres fan and im on the train, still will never see me watch a superbowl, its not my game.

But Josh Allen is carrying this team , he is humble to media, but dude got fire in him.  I really hope he goes all the way with this team, before the season all the other teams were hyped, Jets, Dolphins would win division, this can be  a glory moment, and I hope you guys get it , because you buffalo people deserve it.

Let all of them doubt this team, and  your QB, even if it not happens this year, you got guys going all the way every time they step foot on that field, just need that culture into the sabres again.

They should be, Bills should have lost

I don't know about "should have", but it definitely wasn't a decisive win.  It could easily have gone the other way, and especially in the second half, the Ravens did as much to hurt themselves as the Bills did to beat them.  Even without the run, the Ravens were moving the ball on the Bills easily.  Uncharacteristic turnovers (with credit to the Bills D, who are relatively good at forcing those, but the interception especially was a gimme from the Raven's) and drops were the difference.  I certainly don't think it was an MVP-type performance for Josh.

Pretty much every Chiefs win this season they should have lost.

Buffalo was getting the ball back with 90 seconds and two time outs, with the game tied at worst.  

[inkman]

Bills twitter is mad cringe right now. Just false bravado abound. The Bills are underdogs, on the road, against an opponent they’ve never defeated in the playoffs.  With a HOF QB who has never throw a pic against Buffalo in the playoffs.

Tomorrow will be the 4th time (1966, 1993, 2020) the Bills and Chiefs are playing each other in the AFC/AFL Championship game. That will make it the second most common conference championship match in NFL history, behind 6 meetings between the Cowboys and 49ers.

The Chiefs are 2-1 in the previous 3 matches, including 1966 for the right to play (lose?) in the first Super Bowl.

Bills were sinking late in 1966 and got blown out 31-7. No fluke. The next few years win totals were 4,1,3,1 and 4. They were God awful to watch. Family had seasons and no one wanted to go. I'm a kid and I go. 

1993 was beating Montana and Thurman having a monster game.

Maybe the Bills can finally buck the heartbreaker trend in these moments.

Montana got hurt in that one, didn’t he?

Great day for football.

And remember, you heard it here first 😛
