The Bills going all of the way would be a great story.
I watched the ESPN 30 for 30 about the great Bills era with Marv Levy, Jim Kelly and Thurmon Thomas. One of those teams who were so good but had the misfortune to front up against better teams in the big game, and found ways to shoot themselves in the foot. It would be a lovely story, especially with Jim Kelly fighting cancer. Invite Kelly, Thomas, Bebe and a bunch of the other players to the SB and film the whole thing

Marv Levy and his wife once sat next to me in the O'Hare departure lounge. He's still alive at 96.
That Bills team from the 1990s lost their 4 SBs to NFC East teams. The first loss to the Giants was the heartbreaker.
He could come along too! Imagine them celebrating with the current Bills if they won?

The 4 falls of Buffalo is amazing

You know it still burns Thomas up, the others too. Bebe was the only one that won a ring, but I'm sure he would have loved to have won one in Buffalo

Fair bit of chat that Jimmy G in serious doubt this weekend
He practiced fully today. He's playing.

by the way, for some light entertainment, if you are on reddit, go to the Kansas City Chiefs subreddit. Their meme game is on point.

Apart from that INT late in the game, he played well

That basically sums up his career. I respect him as he's tough as nails, doesn't ever pout and is a good leader. He's never going to be a top 10 QB in the League but you can win playoff games with him. Not sure you can ever win a Super Bowl with him though unless you get very lucky (i.e. Trent Dilfer with the 2000 Ravens).

Would have won a SB last time when SF had the best D in the league and the best run game too. Just unlucky to run into the buzzsaw that is Patrick Mahomes

Bengals are a huge shout. Playing well, full of confidence, and Burrow is legit
Titans have some top drawer guys coming back, but there is always the question mark over how good they will be after a lay-off. If Henry comes back in even close to the same form then Cincy are in for a long night.
Should be an excellent weekend of football!

Interesting stat that Titans have the second worst defence against receivers. Burrows has been hitting his receivers really well with Chase being one of the top all season.
I live in hope but still as an underdog supporter. I have been 'following' the Bengals since the late 80s without shouting about it basically because there has been zero to shout about. Back then I was flatting with friends in London and Channel4 had started showing NFL on Sunday nights. Without knowing anything about the game we all picked a team and followed them through the season. I chose the Bengals simply because I liked their helmets.
30 odd years later I get a little something to get excited about.Who Dey!
