Shoveling Results for Buffalo Bills in Playoffs
Beating the Steelers and nearly themselves shows nothing is ever to be taken for granted. Another Buffalo Bills delay in a series of not finishing off a foe can only partially be blamed on incessant snowfall. Why do you do this to us, ask fans about a two-touchdown playoff win. The result only seems ungrateful typed out.
Football is a nice distraction from debating whether or not they should play football. We no longer have to argue whether a storm creates unprecedented peril or is merely a typical Erie County January unless it snows again this weekend. Politicians who are as inept as coaches show how sports apply to the rest of life.
Pre-empting Wheel of Fortune was worth it. Nobody watching gets to schedule kick off. Frustration is key to being a fan. Realizing such is the path to mitigation. We can’t control sports any more than we can the weather, and that hasn’t gone well recently. Coping with what we can’t affect applies to viewing and shoveling.
Pittsburgh partisans claiming delaying benefitted the home team’s quarterback was a conspiratorial slight aimed at their own side. Suspicious Yinzers implicitly doubted Mason Rudolph’s ability to complete passes under better conditions. Selecting precipitation as an equalizer may work in video games. But there’s no button to press for halting snowflakes.
With fake grass visible and only the occasional nasty gust, there was nothing to blame other than performance. The defense will never expect throwing to empty areas. Was it windy out there? Rudolph would have to honestly answer that it wasn’t.
Josh Allen wanted to show he could run as far as he could throw. The biggest challenge with watching a singular talent turn the extraordinary into the usual is to remain appreciative. Please let us show we can continue to express awe when he dashes at will. Allen pairs Keanu Reeves’s personality with playing like John Wick. That’s quite a relentless performance from someone so easygoing.
The Bills have a chance as long as they have this quarterback. Backers trust their deliverer to the point that they don’t rely on insecure comparisons. Eagles fans say Jalen is better than Josh Allen. Chiefs fans say Mahomes is better than Josh Allen. Cowboys fans say Dak is better than Josh Allen. Dolphins fans say Tua is better than Josh Allen. Ravens fans say Lamar is better than Josh Allen. Bills fans say Josh Allen.
Dalton Kincaid is covered. It doesn’t matter. Offenses are supposed to go for a big strike after a turnover, and some tendencies are worth indulging. Oh, right: there’s also that other tight end. Why choose between the rookie or Dawson Knox scoring when we can enjoy both? There’s nothing fun like looking at Steelers cornerbacks looking back.
Wide receivers are also permitted to field passes by rule, so it’s nice that other category contributes, too. Stefon Diggs continues to help even not counting his willingness to accept a slightly diminished role. He may not have been given a choice, but he’s maximizing his targets no matter how his contributions get framed. And Khalil Shakir’s handprint should be marked on the turf for a reception that’s already legendary.
Firing Ken Dorsey is the team MVP. You say a transaction can’t accept an award for a person. I say the best move this franchise could’ve made enabled many persons to play offense to their capabilities. Rewarding a concept is fitting even if there’s nobody to accept the trophy.
Everyone is tired of wrestling officials but a league which apparently enjoys provocative storylines. Using challenges for uncannily similar plays reflected a pattern poor calls. Only reversing one obvious turnover recovery made the live ineptness worse. The ball will never hit the helmet no matter how many times you watch. That’s true either on your billboard-sized living room television or a boxed tablet held up by a sideline underling. Trying to dock with a tablet like a space station may not be the ideal way to determine truth in the galaxy’s most prominent league.
Sean McDermott strives to keep games competitive. That only sounds like a compliment. He coaches a team talented enough that shouldn’t allow adversaries they knock down to go the distance. Even what the score indicates to be a somewhat comfortable triumph against another club that made the tournament felt too close.
Letting teams hang around has become intrinsic to McDermott’s coaching personality. The daft field goal attempt was not just patently obvious in hindsight for those scowling as the field goal crew took the field. The block merely exacerbated a timid decision. Hurting a hamstring without contact while carrying a hand warmer is the most punter play ever.
Buffalo was ultimately somewhat successful in finally balancing out the first playoff matchup with this round’s first postseason opponent. Overall themes remain despite half a century of changes. That version of the Steelers kept scoring in the first half, which means the 1974 Bills had to abandon their plan of handing off incessantly to whoever their running back was. Sunday featured the host reversing and repeating history, sort of.
Monday Early Night Football means we don’t have to wait as long to watch the next round. Participants would likely prefer a bit extra time than viewers. Having almost two fewer days to prepare for the game as their counterparts is a hypothetical that’s become an actuality.
The NFL’s idea about spreading games out is as brilliant as playing in the game’s true fanbase of curious Europeans and never figuring out what a pass is. Buffalo will be best served by relying on instincts. That one rusher who throws sometimes plays best when he’s managed least. With a team that wins despite coaching, they need as little preparation as they can get.
