One of the recurring questions that Bills fans have is, "Are you kidding me?", but I fear to guess the main question on the minds of Bills fans heading into Saturday night's playoff game against the Pats. They have to face New England, a team that has owned them for the past couple of decades, and a coach that is considered to be one of the best in the history of the game.
The last time these two teams played in Buffalo, Mac Jones threw the ball three times and the Pats still won. The temperature is going to be in the single digits with a breeze. It is good that rain is not in the forecast, but it is not ideal for Josh Allen.
On paper, the Bills are favored, but to the casual football fan, picking up the newspaper and watching New England play Buffalo on Saturday. Roll your eyes and assume that the reign of abuse will continue.
In front of everyone, beating the bully is the most effective way to defeat them. Think about when Michael Jordan finally beat the Pistons, or when Tom Osborne finally beat the Hurricanes. Getting by the Final Boss helped propel Jordan, LeBron, and Osborne to their first titles.
I don't think the Bills are on the path of a dynasty, but I'm trying to help. You were one of the favorites for the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, so you have talent. You just went into Foxborough and played well against them. Think positive. You should envision a win. Whatever superstition you think works, do it.
The fact that Tom Brady isn't under center anymore means that Bills' fans should take solace in the fact that New England is rooting for them to beat the Pats. We want to see this team destroyed. You can still cut off the head of the villain.
Don't ask, "Why, God?" Why? The devil did the forms he took, but God didn't do this. Have you seen Mac Jones? He doesn't look like a guy who would make a deal with satan. It looks like he was drafted out of Pleasantville, and lately he has been playing like Tobey Maguire.
Don't ever let anyone laugh at you, but you guys slam each other through folding tables. You should be telling yourself that you are worthy of a good football team and that the only joke is the New Englands.
If I quote M in Skyfall.
We are not that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that we are, but strong in will.
To seek, to find, and not to yield.
It sounds like some cool shit to say when facing Bardem, so I think it works when facing Brady.
Good luck to Bills fans.
