AFC CHAMPIONSHIP BOUND : Bills v Ravens divisional round Recap


     Drink it in Bills Mafia,  we're heading back to the AFC Championship for the first time since 1993.

From Lamar Jackson running all over us, to Justin Tucker doinking not one but TWO field goals, the first half was a roller coaster of emotions that had me all over the place. The defence looked completely unprepared for the run game when the game started, but thank god for us Leslie Frazier made adjustments and the defence started to turn things around. Our other coordinator on the other hand wouldn't make those needed adjustments until the second half. 

Yes I'm talking about our old pal Brian Daboll. Yes he's called a hell of a game in the past, but these last few have been hot dogshit. Which is a tough look for someone who's about to become the head coach of the San Diego Chargers. Punting 3 times and having to rely on Tyler Bass on the other two drives isn't a good look on the résumé. 

Which is why thankfully we came out of half time looking HOT. We finally got Singletary going, we got Diggs going, we marched down and got the TD we were missing in the first half. The Ravens got the ball back and started driving and yet again the defence got sleepy, decided they didn't need to hit the Ravens, and it looked like they were about to tie it up BOOM 

I mean are you fuckin kiddin me Taron Johnson?? This guy LOVES a pick-six, going 101 yards to the house putting the AFC Championship game firmly in our grasp. 

The game got a little dicey towards the end. With Lamar Jackson going out injured (T's&P's), Tyler Huntley came in the game and looked like a REAL problems for the defence. Thankfully for us the wind helped us out on the throw to Hollywood Brown when we was unbelievably wide open heading for the endzone.

On the bright side we get another week of practice to fix the issues that are popping up before we head into the AFC Championship. Another week to prove to the rest of the league we're not fucking around.

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

Image
     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

Image
    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
