Any Pats' Fan Wanna Make a 'Ceremonial' Bet Against my Bills??

Please, you Pats fans put yourselves to sleep every night on pillows made of Super Bowl trophies. I go to sleep on a pillowcase filled with dust.

Well it's a very strong team, maybe this will be the year.

Ya but......you can see it now......Bills make the Super Bowl and that awful kicker of theirs shanks one to lose it.


It's coming.

Bills - Chiefs is one serious hard call. If someone forced me to bet a grand on that one I really don't know. Mahomes is a major talent (obviously), but I don't like the way he plays when his team starts to flounder. He looks panicked, unlike a Rodgers or other top tier guy who seems cool as hell. All of a sudden Mahones is running like a crazy man and forcing 30 yard passes. On the other hand Bills have played some excellent games lately and are almost due for a bit of a let down. Guess I would go with the Chiefs. Tough game.

Looks like he's had a lot of comeback wins and has a reputation for it. He's even called the comeback king. Not sure where you are coming from here.

If I were betting, I would take the Bills and the points. I think the Bills will win outright.

From your lips to Jim Kelly's ears.

I don't know who is gonna win that game, but the Super Bowl better be

Packers vs Bills
or Packers vs Chiefs

or it will be a letdown.

Amended after Saturday's game to say, my comment is a bit incorrect. After the bad 1st round games, round 2 has been tremendous. There really are 8 teams (now 6), any of which can win it this year. It's a funky year, wide open. Would love to see a re-match of the 49ers at the Rams next week, we'll see.

He doesn't look the same to me this year. Just my subjective take, maybe not born out in the numbers.

Here's my take on the game...

The Bills need to come out with serious aggression (not aggressiveness, AGGRESSION). First time they have the ball, don't treat it like some sort of deep-thinking chess match, treat it like your only goal today is to embarrass the hell out of K.C.!! The whole league is (rightfully so) scared to death of Patrick Mahomes, so they have the mindset of "If we can get the ground game going, we can take a lot of time off the clock and keep the ball out of Mahomes' hands." Reject that completely. Yes, Singletary has stepped up his game lately, but we've ridden on Josh Allen's back all year, so keep that train rolling. With Diggs, Knox, McKenzie, Davis, Sanders, Beasley, and even Singletary, this is a sick-ass receiving corps, arguably the best in the league. Throw the biscuit and keep throwing it to those playmakers. Turn the tables and put the fear of God into the Chiefs!!! Whenever Sean McDermott tries to get too cutesy with the run game, bad things usually happen, as you end up in a perpetual state of third and long. The Chiefs are going to score. Accept that, but don't worry about it. Buff has a tremendous defense (granted, their numbers are inflated from playing a lot of poor teams this year) so they are anything but pushovers, and they are starving for vengeance after last year's defeat.

Buff needs to take it to the Chiefs, keep taking it to them, and when they think they can't take it to them anymore, take it to them even harder!!!!!!!!!!! Let's go, Buffalllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

This is exactly right. Bills on both sides of the line need to have a mission of embarrassing their counterparts.

Another epic collapse in the last minute by a playoff team this year. Wow.

I mean c'mon.

Mahomes has been the Chiefs starting QB for 4 seasons. He's taken them to 4 AFC Championships and 2 Super Bowls, and the 2 times they didn't get to the Super Bowl they went to overtime in the Championship game. I think he's doing just fine.

What do you slap your kid when he gets a "B"?
