Buffalo Dreamin' on such a winter's day: Bills v Chargers week 12 Recap

 

 Sorry the Mamas & the Papas we're not dreamin' of California, we're Dreamin' of a home playoff game in Buffalo and we took one step towards that today beating the San Diego LA Chargers 27-17 improving to 5-1 at home on the season.

After the soul crushing last second loss to the Cardinals we needed the bye week, we needed our team back healthy and these 2 weeks helped tenfold. We were able to get Josh Norman, Levi Wallace, AJ Epenesa, Jerry Hughes, Taiwan Jones, and Dawson Knox all back healthy is a huge plus to a team that needs the help. 

Dawson Knox came back in style with the opening TD of the game (I really don't get the Dawson hate I see all over the place, he's a young guy who's replacing the reliable Charles Clay, give him some more time before calling for his head). That was all fine and dandy until things got weird, because it can't just be an easy Buffalo Bills win now can it?.

The run defence fell apart in the first quarter seeing Austin Ekeler have his choice of running lanes, but they adjusted and held the Chargers to 4 straight punts to end the first half. Our first half highlight is obviously the Cole Beasley to Gabriel Davis trick play TD, goddamn was that a beauty we love a trick play and I love to see them work as often as they do for us.  

The rest of the game felt like a haze, we went back and forth, swapping fumbles, sacks, and interceptions like they're going out of style. Thankfully Tyler Bass delivered again to put is up by 10 with the clock winding down and the defence showed up at the end to hold the Chargers scoreless after they attempted to kill us with the Hail Mary all over again. 

It's great to be back and it's great to get another notch in the win column before we head out to San Francisco for Monday Night Football next week. Let's stay healthy and stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize of a trip to Tampa in February.

Hello darkness, my old friend : Bills v Chiefs AFC championship Recap

     What a kick in the nuts that was, all of the momentum and hope we had were pissed way in just the first half.  I mean what the fuck happened?  We admittedly looked like shit against the Colts but we squeaked by and won, the same thing happened against the Ravens; we looked god awful but thankfully for us so did Lamar Jackson.  We were unbelievably lucky to make it as far as we did with how bad we looked, we had the opportunity to make changes and adjustments but that would've been too easy. We go into a game against the defending Super Bowl champs, with a chance to go to the Super Bowl for the first time since 93' and we looked horrendous.  The defence was non-existent, no one and I mean fucking no one would guard either Travis Kelce or hall of fame woman beater Tyreek Hill. This was a repeat of last week, just like with Lamar we let Mahomes run all over us without him even getting touched by the defence.  The offence was even worse, chicken shit football from start to fin

WAGONS = CIRCLED: Bills v Colts wild card weekend Recap

    Holy shit, what a batshit fucking crazy game that was. The Bills had to overcome a lot to erase the 25 years of playoff hurt, from dogshit play calling from Brian Daboll, to Josh having to run all over the place, to Gabriel Davis toe-tapping it twice in a row, to that bullshit no fumble call there to end the game the Bills simply wouldn't die.  I'm going to keep it real with you, we did not look good. The play calling on offence was just absolutely horrible, shades of the Texans game from last year. We give Josh all of these weapons to throw to but hey let's run it 3 times in a row and pile on the 3 and outs. If we have any hope of making it to the Super Bowl, Brian Daboll has to figure it the fuck out.  Going into the game it was obvious Jonathan Taylor was going to be an issue with how we've handled the run. BUT the defence decided to show up and held him to only 78 yards, the passing game on the other hand was a weak spot. Rivers picked apart our secondary every

The End : Toronto Blue Jays game 162 recap

Image
      Game 162 for all the marbles....  Should the Jays not have gotten swept by the Nats? Yes. Should the Jays not have gone 3-3 against the Tigers when they were vying for the top WC spot? Probably. Should the Jays not have gotten shit pumped by the Twins 3 times coming down the stretch? Absolutely. But those all unfortunately happened leaving the Jays on the outside looking in and their fate in the hands of the Nationals, Rays, and Angels. While leaving us the fans looking like Charlie from It's Always Sunny connecting the dots for a 1 Game WC birth.   The Jays came out hot and the bats were on fire going up 9-1 on a George Springer grand slam, while the Rays and Yanks were deadlocked at 0-0, the Mariners were down to the Angels, and the Red Sox were down 3-1 to the Nats.  The Jays close out game 162 strong killing the poor O's 12-4, with homers from Springer, Semien, and my king Vladdy Jr if this was going to be it at least they gave us a show to remember. All eyes went to
