surrounded by steelers and browns fans yesterday at work...i tell them i'm from buffalo and a bills fan first and foremost and unequivocally, the first thing out of their mouth is about how allen is the man...

i tell them it's a weird feeling

- Michael Pachla



Same here...I keep waiting for the blow up or the typical Bills thing to happen

Even if they go on to win the Super Bowl this year I don't know if I will ever be able to shake that feeling of the last 20 years

Wake up. It was all a dream. The Bills drafted Josh Rosen in 2018 and McBeane got fired last year

Awesome. You're gonna have a great story for years. You're part of a very exclusive group.

Do some vocal warm-ups this week to increase your ability to get loud

Great thing to is my Mom still lives right down the road, 10 min walk. Get a little tailgating in. And get to Experience it with my Son, best part of all.

I'll be seeing the smoke from over the border if the Bills end up winning.

Funny story about this. I am supposed to go down near Tampa on Super Bowl weekend. Friend owns a place down there so we have a free place to stay. The idea would be to hit up the scene and see what it's like. Supposed to go Friday to Monday. If the Bills make it, a part of me wants to fly home Sunday morning to be back home in time for the game...unless, of course, I miraculously get tickets.

With it being in Tampa I was going to drive up for a day to check out the sights and such, but with Covid who knows what those are going to be like.

If the Bills make it, oh man

I know this sounds nuts, but I couldn't go to a Bills super bowl live, unless they already won a few.

I wouldn't be able to sit down to stand in one spot.

If they make it I will isolate myself in a padded room for the game

Yeah, it won't be the normal experience, but Florida does allow more than most, so it still should be somewhat of a fun scene.

Oh nice, that's even better. My Grandpa lived on Westview place by Consumer's. After he passed and before they sold the house, my buddies and I walked from there to the stadium for the 2011 fitzmagic Patriots game. We were just hanging out by the entrance with beers listening to the game until security threatened to have us arrested for being vagrants. Good times

i wonder how much apprehension colts fans have playing possibly the hottest team in the league right now...

like i said, it's a weird feeling, not necessarily new as those 90's teams were at this level, just weird having gone through what we just did this century

The Colts needed a win and one of Baltimore, Cleveland or Miami to lose. Since the Bills were the only team to oblige, Colts fans have been donating to that Allen/Oshei fund. I'd say not much apprehension at all.

@Benbbaldwin

Expected Points Added:

Ryan Tannehill dropbacks: +166

Derrick Henry rush attempts: +31



@Benbbaldwin
Ryan Tannehill has been efficient when Derrick Henry is not on the field.

Ryan Tannehill has been efficient on non-play action plays.

Ryan Tannehill has been efficient with very poor pass protection.

Like what else does he need to do? Play defense?

Is that an indication that Beasley may not be ready, so Stills comes in to potentially back-up / rotate with McKenzie?

I was thinking it was extra "hands team" depth in the case of another defending the hail mary situation.

...Cole Beasley is sidelined with an ankle injury. The issue is considered a “week-to-week” situation for Beasley and Stills does have experience playing inside in Beasley’s spot.

Allen is just easy to like. Just seems like a guy you can have a drink with and prob wouldn’t even say a word about football........

Let say the opposite of TB12
