Watched the game. It played out as I suspected.

I can see a good game (probably) between Buffalo and KC (assuming KC wins tomorrow).

Josh Allen is an amazing competitor and I enjoyed watching him play. I did not realize he was a (drafted) as a 7th rounder !!??!!!!!! What a steal. What a scoop! It´s like winning the Lotto.

I was bummed to see Lamar Jackson get concussed and I hope he pulls thru.

I felt the game between Rams against GB was a bit boring. All most not at the same level.

:c heers:

He was drafted as the 7th overall pick in the first round.
Baker Mayfield 1st overall
Sam Darnold 3rd overall
Allen 7th overall
Josh Rosen 10th overall
Lamar Jackson 32nd overall

All first round QB picks in 2018.

allen was drafted 7th overall and in reality wasn't a steal. he came in really raw and was pretty bad. even last year when he got a lot better he still had a lot of bad decision making but showed flashes of what could be. huge props to him for not giving up and the bills staff for their development and his huge jump this year

last year he had 3000 yards thrown with a 59% completion rate and 20-9 td int ratio. this year its 4500, 69%, 37-10 td int ratio. went from average to an mvp level season

mahomes is a steal because he went 10th and got mvp in his first playing season lol. lamar is a huge steal too, shame he had no team around him this year

Being a Packers "owner" and having met Lombardi on a couple of occasions as I kid...I am bona fide!

I didn’t know that. Must make for entertaining conversations at the pub lol

Packers obviously look fantastic this year. Good luck

Congrats to you Bills Fans! Just MHO, but I would be rooting for the Browns today, it will be incredibly difficult to beat the Chiefs next week

Appreciate the good wishes Paul. No doubt the Chiefs will be a very, very tough out for anyone. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care who won today’s game. However I’m sure the Bills will be ready to play either team next week. All the remaining teams are tough at this point. As they say, any given Sunday.....

Go Bills!

The browns have been playing out of their cleats lately and the chiefs while always dangerous have been sitting on their hands for 2+ weeks.

That said I’d def prefer the browns as we would host which is important. Rooting for the dog pound today.

A lifelong Pats fan but this year I'm rooting for the Bills! Cinderella story!

Average concussion protocol time in the NFL these last few seasons has been 19 days. Mahomes is highly unlikely to play against the Bills next week, given how the NFL has been handling these situations.

[Slimpee]

The Bills are a good story...

But Go Chiefs!

Andy Reid is yoda lol

Great save by the chiefs. Play of the game was the forced fumble through the endzone.

At this point every team means business so might as well go to KC and prove it if we want a shot at the SB.

Go figure...I’m a portly chap from Buffalo who is good with the wings...totally plays into the stereotype.

I was bummed about the Saints. My wife and I got married in NOLA and I have a soft spot for them! Great season and they’ll be beasts again next year.

I’m beyond ecstatic about my Bills tho! This will be the third time we’ve played the Chiefs for the right to play in the Super Bowl. First time didn’t work out great, but the Chiefs got thumped by the Packers. The second time, we gave them a beating, then Dallas handed us our asses for the second time in a row.

The upcoming will be really tough and I hope Mahomes plays. It would be amazing to go regardless, but I’d like to see us beat the best in the business to get there. That’s gonna be a tall order, no doubt.

Coach McDermott has our guys humble and hungry. I am absolutely nuts about this team - these kids are GOOD. 🦬

Yea, Andy Reid’s got guts, loved that 4th and inches call at the end. Their offense is generally ridiculous and their red zone defense is no joke, so this will be a serious test.

If we can go on the road and dethrone the champs, that will prove we aren’t screwing around about it. I think Allen is on a mission and I like the fact he’s a gamer. Totally gives us a shot every week.

I confess, I don't get the table smashing bit. I know it's popular in Buffalo.

Yea, it’s a thing with #BillsMafia, but I’m with you on that - I don’t get it.

I’m too old for such shenanigans, but honestly, had that nonsense started when I was far younger and still lived there...I might have been game.

The other thing that I can get on board with that Bills fans do is donate to opposing players’ favorite charities. We’ve raised over $350k (so far) for a charity Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson is involved with after he left the game with a concussion Saturday.

We’ve done stuff like that a number of times - after a Cincinnati QB’s TD pass put us into the playoffs, or in response to a dbag Baltimore talk radio clown saying negative things about Buffalo, etc. Classy way to respond, instead of responding in kind.

Our fans are crazy, but Buffalo is called the “City of Good Neighbors” for a reason.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

His development has been stellar for sure. I was not following Buffalo as much until I kept reading about his performance. Buffalo is lucky to have to him.

Class act for sure.

Ok, I stand corrected. 7th overall in the 1st RD.

This coming weekend will be interesting, with some incredible match-ups.

The Teams with the least mistakes will have the greater opportunity for success (my thoughts).

I am thinking that if Mahomes does not play..........the Bills will win.

If Tampa Bay´s defense can stop RODGERS........they just might pull the rabbit out of the hat.

I am excited.

gotcha, that explains it !

Go Pack, Go Bills !

I hope we get the chance to play the chiefs with mahomes because I honestly think we can beat them. Certainly not making guarantees because they are sensational but at this point we aren’t afraid of anyone.

It would really be something if we get the chance to beat Tom Brady in a Super Bowl after 20 years of him beating the crap out of us lol

I think both the NFC and AFC Championship games are truly up for grabs. Play each game 1000 times, one side wins 550 times. Don't remember feeling this way in the last few years. Turnovers and the bounce of the ball may determine each.

I agree it’s quite an exiting finish. I am convinced the packers will take the NFC but Brady is like a cockroach you can’t kill him come January. He’s made his career winning games he appeared overmatched in.

Obviously Pat and the chiefs will be favored if he’s on the field and that’s earned but I’m 100% sure we are the best team in the AFC to challenge them.

I can’t wait to watch both games and I don’t even think I’ll bet them because there is already enough excitement in store.

One other interesting item to note is that we traded the 10th pick to KC in 2017, and that’s the pick they used to draft Mahomes. Normally, missing out on a generational talent/MVP would be franchise-altering in a bad way.

But the picks received in exchange ultimately became pro bowl CB Tre’Davious White, pro bowl LB Tremaine Edmunds, pro bowler (and potential MVP) Josh Allen, and Bills’ special teams ace Siran Neal, if I recall correctly.

It may be the rare win-win sort of situation, where everyone ends up pleased. Would Mahomes have been the MVP in his second year with the talent the Bills had at the time, had we drafted him? We’ll never know, but it seems like everyone ended up where they should be. He’s amazing to watch and it obviously was a great fit for the champs.

Allen may be from California, but he’s a Buffalo guy through and through. He seems to love the city and we love him back. It’s a great fit and his improvement from year two to year three was incredible to see.

I agree. I want the Bills to compete against the best there is and *if* we are able to win against Mahomes, that would be ideal, as a potential W wouldn’t feel diluted as it might by his absence.

Winning in KC is a tall order, but our Bills are incredibly talented and we’re the right team to give them a run for their money. We can definitely beat them.

I don’t want to get out in front of things and I’m not making any assumptions, etc., but if we were to play Brady in a Super Bowl, I’d be both terrified and excited. A win on that stage would somewhat mitigate the pain of all the ass whippings we got from him when he was in NE.

At this point, I just want us to get there and I’d be elated with a SB win against whomever we have to play. After all the years of Bills ineptitude, the fact it’s actually a legit possibility at this point is so very appreciated. When I was a kid, we were consistently good, so this run really gives me feelings of pleasant nostalgia.
