Only the Bills know how to lose with a 200+ yard receiver in the playoffs, literally. Nine players have done it, and the only two losers were Gabe Davis last night and Eric Moulds in '99. Because Buffalo?

If by some miracle, Burrow actually goes farther than expected, I'll promise to be as annoying of a fanboy of Burrow as possible. ;)

There were multiple explanations for why the Bills lost last night but by for the biggest single reason was Patrick Mahomes.

If you need an example of what I mean, just watch Mahomes scramble vs Allen... both are very good at avoiding a sack but Mahomes just makes it look SO easy. Its like most of the time he just knows what the defenders will do before they do it. (or has eyes in the back of his head!)

Buffalo isn't going anywhere and will only get better.... Allen will have his day. (just not today sorry Bills fans)

The only "Razorcakes" I'm familiar with is a punk rock magazine.... please explain?
It's an old 4chan nickname for the Bills. Here's a Reddit description that summarizes it better than I can:

"Because being a Buffalo fan is like being offered a cake that you know has a razor in the middle. The guy has offered you a cake before and always has put a razor in the middle so you know it's there. But the cake is so good you tell yourself that you'll just eat the edges. Then you start eating and it's so good that you convince yourself there aren't razors in it this time. Next thing you know you wake up with bandages in your mouth in a psych ward cause this is the 900th time you have done this"

Does sound vaguely familiar now that you bring it up.

Also somewhat appropriate! :p

You can't really blame them, as lame as it sounds to be scared of traveling tech bros.

In week 18, the Niners fans were roaring loudly as if it was a home Chargers game. But it's not just an L.A. thing. Tech bros also invaded JerryWorld in the wildcard round and may have been a third of the fans in attendance. You can bet there's a very healthy market for ticket resales this week on the popular platforms.

I got a good laugh on the Ndomukong Suh taunting penalty. He told Stafford "I'm going to fuck you up" He complained to ref he was kicked. The same guy who stomped on an uncovered head of a player with his spikes.

He can maybe fuck up his Dcoordinator for pulling the rug on a comeback with a blitz that would make Gregg Williams proud.

Aaron Rodgers kinda questions Joe Biden's 81 million votes and calls his White House Fake.

bwahahahahahha. so glad that dbag lost. glorious.


Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted President Joe Biden and his “fake White House” in an anti-vaccine rant that also seemed to question the 2020 election result.

“When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because him and his constituents, which — I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking — but I guess he got 81 million votes,” the NFL star told ESPN before his season ended in a playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.

“But when you say stuff like that, and then you have the CDC, which — how do you even trust them — but then they come out and talk about 75% of the COVID deaths have at least four comorbidities,” he continued. “And you still have this fake White House set saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated. That’s not helping the conversation.”

....The CDC statistic he mentioned focused on the rare deaths of people who are vaccinated and had nothing to do with coronavirus fatalities in general. "

What happened to our no. 1 D. Great game anyhow. Really thought we were going to afc champ game. At least we have one of the best football players in the league for years to come.
What happened was they ran into a great offense that made zero mistakes, playing at home. I thought the Bills had a legit shot to win this game and they did, the margin for error is tiny though to knock off a team like this.
Mac Jones is a decent QB but saying he's even potentially better then Allen is a complete joke.

The guy has potential to win but he's no Brady/Montana (or Allen/Mahomes) AND he never will be.
Yea, agree and I'm a Pats fan Mac just does not have the arm strength Allen has to make some of those throws nor can he gain 60+yds running in a game and plow over some defenders for good measure. I like his football IQ and how he carries himself, all very impressive for the rookie he is. Can't see anyone from the AFC East challenging the Bills in the near future, too much talent right now for that.

Bruce A was in an interview adfter the game and said an all-out blitz was called but "some people" didn't head for the LOS like they were supposed to.

Yeah, I have no sympathy for celebrities, sports "heroes" with their vaccination skepticism... Rodgers, Djokovic, etc. I used to think S.F. blew it when they didn't draft Rodgers but I've changed my mind now. He's from Chico, CA, which I guess explains a lot. There are areas of CA (basically cow counties) that are red. Explains Kevin McCarthy too, although he gets no pass for being ignorant. He's just an out and out scumbag.

Judging from his comments, I have to think Rodgers is watching Fox News. Dumbass, yes. I wonder if the MVP voting is over already. If not, I can't imagine him winning.

Edit: Oh, and linked article says Rodgers "sought medical advice" from Joe Rogan. What a Dumbo!
