The AFC and NFC Championship games are set...

 Well, the NFL Division round is over and we have our AFC and NFC championships games all set. Just like the wild card round there was some surprises and some things I figured were going to happen. My last report I wrote about Bills vs Broncos and the fumbles, interceptions, and alleged blown calls by the referees that ultimately got the Bills head coach whacked. 

I wrote a little about the 49ers vs Seahawks game. What I didn't write about was how the 49ers pregame antics might have done more harm than good. San Francisco's out there dancing and celebrating...maybe it was some sort of pregame ritual, maybe it was to show Seattle that they weren't scared and were ready to battle, all I know is it was stupid. Seattle torched the 49ers 41-6...49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn't look like he was ready to party after the game.

The Patriots defeated the Texans 28-16. Houston had probably the best defense all year but I knew they would struggle in Foxborough in January...everybody does. That game looked cold on tv, I've been to Boston in January for the Royal Rumble...this is when my wife and I first started dating...to describe the temperature as cold doesn't do it justice, it felt like I was on Pluto. At those extreme temps you're not thinking about the next play, you're thinking about how long before I'm in the locker room slamming some hot cocoa. How else do you explain CJ Stroud forgetting how to be a quarterback? 

The Los Angeles Rams at the Chicago Bears was umm interesting I would say. Matthew Stafford and the Rams won in spite of themselves. I mean Stafford didn't throw a touchdown for the first time in 19 games. Chicago and their QB Caleb Williams did throw 2 touchdowns but he also had 3 interceptions. This game came down to who would make the fewest mistakes and the Rams won in overtime.

So we get the Rams vs Seahawks...again...this time for the NFC Championship, and the Patriots vs the Broncos for the AFC Championship. Post season experience is how I would bet at the sportsbooks and that means the Los Angeles Rams vs New England Patriots in the Superbowl if I had to pick...that being said, Seattle and Denver are the hot teams which is why they're both ranked No.1

 

Bills lose heartbreaker to the Broncos in overtime

 Hey everyone I'm back from my refreshing vacation and a lot has happened since my last post. Well to be honest I wasn't on vacation, I'm in this new training program and it is intense. Why am I doing this? Money! Specifically more money a lot more. I haven't studied this hard since I was in college but this is well worth it. Despite my personal life being so busy one thing I didn't forget about was the NFL Divisional round playoffs.

I will say the Bills vs Broncos game was a thriller and not a classic. A classic implies a nearly perfect game on both sides of the field and this game was far from perfect. Way too many turnovers and injuries for me and probably the coaches. I told you in my last report that some of my friends are diehard Bills fans...they live for the team and die for the team...each and every year. The Buffalo Bills team has the heart of a champion. I felt so bad for Josh Allen and my friends as soon as the game was over.

You can have all the heart in the world but you must be consistent. Your heart and determination must always show. Personally, I didn't bet against the Bills, but if you saw me in the week leading up to the game I was saying I wouldn't bet against Sean Payton and the Broncos at home. The Bills damn near pulled it off but inconsistency did them in once again.

I thought what happened in this game would've happened in the Jaguars game. The Jaguars played a playoff game at home because they were so good at disrupting offenses all year but the Bills played a brilliant game against them. That brilliance disappeared against the Broncos. Some of it was the Broncos defense but a lot of it was on the Bills with their numerous turnovers. You can not give a number one seeded team that many extra chances at home.

Superman is human...Josh Allen is known for putting the team on his back and dragging them into glory. The Bills show flashes of being a great team...sometimes. Other times they look lost and get exposed by some pretty awful teams like what happened in the regular season. As great as Josh plays and as much heart as this team has they'll never win let alone reach a Superbowl unless they're consistent. You don't have to win every game but you should look like a cohesive team every game because if you're not you're going to lose to a better team every year.

As for the Broncos, their win cost them their quarterback. It was announced that Bo Nix broke his ankle so Denver gets to play the AFC Championship game with a backup QB. It's not impossible to win, the Philadelphia Eagles won a Superbowl with Nick Foles as QB and dude was a backup...that Eagles team was stacked though. 

Another January another post season exit for the Bills and my friends know I like the Miami Dolphins but I'm far from a diehard fan. I'll be a diehard Dolphins fan again when they start to play like they give a damn about the game. Still, I'm getting...'The Bills are better than the Dolphins', 'How many wins do you guys have?' 

Again, Miami's coach got whacked, we have a QB that's seconds away from a concussion protocol, half the roster is injured or suspended. These are just some of the things stopping the Dolphins from reaching the post season or a winning record. The Bills have the talent to make it to the Superbowl, to go on the road and win in the playoffs. As much talent as they have it does not mix with inconsistency. Inconsistent WR's, inconsistent defense, inconsistent offense, head scratching coaching decisions...I said it in my last post...the Buffalo Bills are they're own worst enemy and until they're consistent they'll never win it all.

Oh yeah, the Seattle Seahawks totally demolished the San Francisco 49ers 41-6. I understand 49ers QB Brock Purdy wasn't 100%....maybe start Mac Jones? What do I know...probably would've scored more than six points though.
