Buffalo Bills Divisional: (3) Baltimore at (2) Buffalo; Sunday 1/19 @ 6:30 PM ET, CBS

A friend was invited to attend the game with his brother who has season tickets. I was invited to hitch a ride and will be sitting by myself yet I will be with thousands of other Bills fans so it will be great. Go Bills!

Of course Kansas City is getting another southern team on a frigid day....

The only thing that could rachet the stakes up any higher is if Houston somehow beats KC and the game is to HOST the AFC championship game against Houston.

Its so fun having a good team. The Bills have had the 'game of the year' probably the last 2 years in terms of hype. (Last years Bills vs Chiefs playoff game was similar to this, though, the MVP spice vs Lamar has cranked this up pretty high)

When was the last time the Sabres had any hyped game like this? Last I could think of was the game after the fight name game vs Ottawa where the whole sport was focused on Buffalo.

This is a rare time folks. These are the good times. Win or lose, drink it in, get excited. Hoping this year is our year finally, but it could just as easily end on Sunday.

It's not like the Ravens are a heavy favorite, but I was still surprised to see the Bills a one point underdog at home, especially given their 8-0 home record this season.

Stroud already gimpy/limping after 1 drive. KC is gonna get to sim to another AFCCG at home, I fear

 

[kirby11]

3rd down stop on KC negated by a roughing the passer. Of course

 

[26CornerBlitz]

BS roughing call on Anderson!

 

[Dubi Doo]

That looked like a weak RTP call.

I didn’t see any helmet to helmet. Unreal

Their tackle is a MILE off the line of scrimmage on obvious passing downs...of course that rule continues to not apply to KC. At least they called him for moving early once?

 

[BowieSabresFan]

Even the rules analyst didn’t like it. Costly one too.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Yea but his arm touched his shoulder so that’s high for Mahomes

 

[misterchainsaw]

To be fair it did look like a foul in real time...


But this:

This is illegal formation, and should be called every. single. time. The tackle is not remotely close to being lined up legally.

Absurd that they’ve made it a priority to penalize for every other team, but Taylor gets an exemption to line up in the backfield all the time

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Texans D will keep them in this game (even with one-sided officiating), I just don't trust Stroud to do enough offensively for the Texans to win it.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Judging by the way the wind affected that ball, FG was the worst decision Ryans could have possibly made there. 55 into the wind was never going to happen

 

[TheStorm]

Texans are getting smoked so far

 

[Dirty Dog]

Texans are getting smoked so far

Just an ugly offense. Not going to win in the playoffs with that

 

[misterchainsaw]

Houston should probably decide to cover Kelce a little more often in the 2nd half.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Houston eats a terrible spot to make it 3rd and 1 instead of a 1st, then an illegal shift for 3rd and 6. A couple holdings in the 2nd half as well already on Houston

Officials really starting to lean on this game.

They overcome it and a Mixon TD ties it! New game!

EDIT: Or not. f*** off, Fairbairn.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Fairbairn sucks (except against us).

almost as if the refs dont want Houston to win

 

[Tsujimoto]

Fairbairn is KC's most valuable player so far.

7 for 67 against Houston, 1 for 5 against KC despite their tackle lining up illegally on every passing down. It's not even subtle at this point.

Don't worry, they gave a holding call on the kick return so it's totally even now!
