Now that's just lame by the Buffalo coach, your up 27-0 and you have to "ice" the kicker on a FG try?
I hate icing the kicker, regardless of score. If they get the kick off after the whistle, it's basically a free test to feel the wind.

I've never seen it work and I've seen a FG miss and then find out a TO had been called as he was kicking it, he then nailed the one that counted.

Mac is definitely not afraid of blocking. Addison wound up injured on that play.
Oh, he's a keeper all right, this games out of anybodies reach though. In my opinion the oddball loss the Pats gave the Bills a month ago was the best thing for them, for weeks the press was unrelenting in describing the Bills as an overrated team, the idea was laughably wrong but it lit a fire under the ass for sure.

I haven't followed the Bills at all this year, but if this game has been representative of their offense during the regular season, Singletary and the run blocking has really stepped up this year. I had Singletary on my fantasy football team last year and his YPC was not stellar at all. In this game, he's been an absolute stud.

THis same Buffalo team let Bellychick beat them, at home, going 100% run, Buffalo refusing ever to run, in the cold, and just got embarrassed by the Bellychick because lolneveradjsuted at halftime and just kept punching in the run and dared buffalo to do what they should do.

It was so weird, but Bill knew what he was doing. It boggles my mind now and will forever how Buffalo coach got trapped into not playing his own game, at home, on that day. But it happened.

This is definitely surprising in score difference right now, but the Bills should have always been able to play this type of game at home, but they refused to much of the year. for some reason.

Their offensive line stepped up in the last quarter of the season. It was a turnstile before that.

Yeah, I saw bits of that game because I had Nick Folk on my FFB team this year and I pulled him off my starting line-up because of the wind conditions. I would win as long as he didn't miss a FG, so I sat him to lock in the dub.

Anyways, I thought that game was a total fluke. I figure Pats are a run-first team, while the Bills are a pass-first team. Everything about the weather during that game was in NE's favor. Having said that, I can understand why the Bills didn't just stick with the run. I'd be stubborn too if I were in their shoes. If your main weapon was the pass and the weather took it away, do you risk it trying to use your main weapon, or do you pivot? The Bills could have won if they scored on their last drive too, if I remember correctly.

Torn Mind's torn mind is probably exploding right now at Allen's night. More TDs (5) than incompletions (4), over 300 yards passing, another 66 on the ground.
On the contrary. The biggest mistake Buffalo has made remains in Kansas City and he, not Josh Allen is the arbiter of the Bills making the Super Bowl or not...

This game is your Super Bowl. Either Tennessee’s country music ends you just like it did decades ago or Mahomes shuts the door again.

Allen is the next Mike Vick. Flash, excitement, championship games, but Lombardi isn’t coming to the fart hole of New York.

You know, I think secretly, deep down, you can't stop obsessing over Allen in shorts, and it makes you feel uncomfortable. ;)

McNabb ruling the NFC East came and went. He got promptly dethroned when the rest of the division got better.

Albino McNabb will fail in the end. The only thing I worry about is if Buffalo and the Cowboys meet.

So, how many Allen posters do you have? One on each wall of your bedroom, and the ceiling, so you can wake up to his smiling face every morning? :p

I dunno, in years past Allen always had the cannon and the run ability but also would make a few horrible throws that got picked off, he's not doing that anymore. I suppose the Titans match up well with them because of how well they run and control clock but I give this Bills team a real shot, congrats JujuFish, wouldn't mind seeing the Lombardi being hoisted in Buffalo, just tell the Mafia no dildos get tossed during the celebration!. :p
