Kyle Brandt's Bills pump up video was better than Tasker's. That's right. I said it.

It was pretty good, but he lost his honorary membership to Bill's Mafia this morning wearing that Tampa Bay jacket.

And let's face it. There is little chance next Bills season will be as "fun" as this one, even if they were to go 20-0 and win the Super Bowl (remember, there's a 17th game next year). Once you taste it, all you want is more. Expectations do play a huge part in this. This year, most of us thought they'd be good, but not this good. Next season, we will be expecting them to be at the top, and the pressure that comes with that is real.

I compare it to the Sabres' two seasons coming out of the 2004-2005 lockout. In 2005-2006, nobody really knew what this team had. As the games went on, there was a sentiment of "hey, we could actually win this thing!". 2006-2007 was more of a "we better win this thing!" kind of a season. Like it or not, expectation is a price you pay for being good, along with losing players and coaches because they're going to get paid.

Eh, probably better for his own career not to look completely biased. I'm sure the Bills paid him a small amount to do that video anyway.

In all seriousness, I'd love to have a job like that or work for a place like Barstool. The amount of cool free gear you have to be getting on a yearly basis is insane.

Maybe Bill's Mafia could donate to a clean-up fund. That seems to be in their wheelhouse once something is made known to the group.

I agree 100%.

I had more fun watching Tebow beat the Steelers in OT then losing in the divisional round to the Pats then I did watching a lot of the playoff heart breakers during the Manning era because of that very reason.

The last time the Bills played in an AFC Championship game I wasn’t even alive. So I completely understand the excitement and I’m not telling everyone how they should feel. I would feel the same way in your shoes.

Buffalo sports fans have been anything but privileged since I guess 2008. Whereas I have been watching the Broncos in the playoffs for much of my cognizant life. I understand the diversity of opinion however I disagree with the notion that it has anything to do with having half a brain or having “low IQ” and everything to do with being privileged and spoiled sports fan.

I’m sure those on here (not you in particular) ragging on me will be the same ones 5 years from now b*tching and complaining if the Bills don’t win a ring. Heck hopefully for your sake you win it this year and it makes the whole argument moot.

Annoyingly, I don't think we have an answer for Travis Kelce.

Most didn't think the Bill's had the answer for the Ravens; Jackson's running, nor their D.
They won 17 - 3!

Kelce is a challenge for sure, but Frazier has been "on" for 10 games now. Edmund's is big enough and fast enough to add some good coverage, and Milano has proven to effective as well. Maybe Taron has more confidence and enjoys a surge in coverage ability.

Maybe a nice clean but violent hit to Mahommes makes him think his targets are wearing Blue and White.

I'm hoping for a fast track on Sunday....The Bill's O and D are both far, far better than the last time they played. Robert's is due for another huge game on ST's too!

I know right ? Man, I'm a negative son of a b!tch. But again, this is what Buffalo sports has done to me for 55 years.

I'll try to be more positive. Thanks.

I can appreciate your optimism. Clearly we are all pulling for them to show up big time. But lets not confuse the 16-1, defending Super Bowl champion, with their all world QB with that Ravens team. The QB is better, the weapon are far better, and the coach is far better.

Id love to say "Bills got this"....but Kelce is going to be a huge problem.
