Even If You Don’t Really Follow Pro Football Anymore...
I'm loving that there will be playoff games outdoors in Buffalo. Hopefully they make it to the AFC championship. I always loved watching playoff games being played in Green Bay in 10 degrees and a blowing blizzard. The way football should be played.

I'm a long time Packers fan but I've been pulling for the Bills all season. Allen is out of the same conference as my alma mater Boise State, in fact he beat us one year. So good luck to him and the Bills. Maybe we'll see Green Bay and Buffalo in the Superbowl this year.

I love football in snowy, wintry conditions. In the regular season. Once playoffs start I prefer the games in good weather so that the weather doesn’t decide the game. I’m off pro sports now for going on a couple 3 or 4, maybe 5 years now. I used to miss it. Now not so much. Good luck to your boys though.

I think there are many who feel the fun has completely abandoned the NFL, or vice versa. Perhaps nobody more so than us ex-Redskins fans.


But the fact is, assuming you watch on TV, if you're not a "Nielsen family" or some other rating system, whether you watch or not doesn't matter to the NFL. You're not hurting or helping anyone. (unless you're the kind of person who sees a commercial and runs out and buys whatever they saw lol)

Well, Bills move on to the AFC Championship.

Couldn't be happier, been a long time.

As a Bills fan since '89 I am thoroughly enjoying this season.





10 years to retirement! Just waiting!

Born in Buffalo, couldn't be happier. That town deserves a winning team. Go Bills!

F the NFL and all the players/owners that disrespect the flag and refuse to stand for the National Anthem! SCREW any sports team that refuses to stand and show respect! Maybe they can pander to the Black Lives Matter savages and thugs?? Or maybe SJW SCUMBAGS? I am cancelling all these POS morons!

Being a life long resident of western NY, I have followed the Bills for decades. They are not my favorite team, but I always wish them well. And they most definitely deserve this. My wife is a huge Bills fan.

Josh Allen is a great kid and I love seeing him do well.

A long time ago I met Bruce Smith in a cigar bar in downtown Buffalo. Ended up hanging out with him and his lady; he bought us all cigars and shot the breeze with us. I recall talking fishing with him and him being quite the fisherman.

Wow Cleveland will look back on that game as their legitimize chance at a Supebowl. I think Cleveland would of had a 50/50 chance against Buffalo.

Blown challenge on an obvious catch. Time out gone.
First and ten on your last drive. You burn your second time out.

Defense did not play well all game long.

Handing to ball off in the shotgun to me if so ineffective. Should of put Mayfield under center and handed off the ball to the running backs headed toward the line of scrimmage more. That was way more effective.

That was a real opportunity lost for Cleveland fans. Sorry guys. I was rooting for ya.

I don't see Buffalo beating KC.

Mahommes will not be playing if they follow the NFL protocol. Different team without him.

oh, he will play. No question. To much money at stake to keep him out. Concuss or not.

There are hefty fines if teams fail to follow the guidelines. Going through the five stages in a week will be remarkable. TBI and CTE are real. Read up on it.

Yeah, he was definitely hammered. It was obvious. If it was a regular season game. No question he could sit out. A conference championship game and a trip to the Superbowl, he'll play. I will be shocked if he doesn't. Protocol be damned.

Why Reid called a running play for him. That was stupid.

Totally agree. I'm a Chiefs fan and want Patrick to play but he got way fucked up when his head hit the ground that hard. Stay out of next weeks game Mr Mahomes, brain injuries are very serious.

First off, major KUDOS to the fan base of Buffalo.
After Lamar Jackson got a concussion, the FANS of the Bills, individually, donated over $75,000 to his charity.
Thank you from a Ravens fan...

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.
