The Bills went 16-3 in playoff games at Highmark Stadium. Three teams never won a single game here in the stadium’s 50+ years of existence.

10 straight wins for the #Sabres. Absolute wwwwwwwwwwagon.
They look like a totally different team. The forecheck has been relentless. D zone is improving and they’re getting timely saves. There’s a genuine feeling that goals will come. Give one up 15 seconds in? No problem.

Thinking about the fourth and goal play that got stopped on the three-inch line. Allen has such a nose for the end zone that it's hard not to want to take your chances with him running it. But looking at this screenshot, you'd never guess how this play ended up.

Bills RB James Cook will enter the final week of the season with a 47-yard lead on Jonathan Taylor for the NFL rushing title.
He’d be the first Bill to lead the league since O.J. Simpson.
The Bills could rest players vs. NYJ. Colts play Texans. #billsmafia

He's not the reason why Kevyn Adams was fired, but the view from the outside of seeing Lindy Ruff grumble about having to send Noah Östlund out and then seeing Östlund just keep on keeping on offensively after the fact is some tasty narrative creation

We've got an all-time Tankathon matchup this week.
The #1 pick in the #NFL Draft is very much on the line as the 2-13 Giants travel to the 2-13 Raiders. Both teams can clinch the top pick by losing out.
The Giants are small favorites on the road, -1.5 at DK. Total is 41.5.

Denver’s loss to Jacksonville was huge for the Bills to earn the 5 seed — and a wild card meeting with the AFC North winner.
If the Bills win out, they’ll be #5 (assuming NE doesn’t blow the division). Chargers and Broncos play Week 18. Bills at 13-4 would be ahead of the loser. #billsmafia

Josh Allen heads to the locker room early without a shoe on his right foot. Sean McDermott had no update for CBS at the halftime interview.
Cameras showed Allen limping after being hit in the end zone and seemingly holding his right leg. Hopefully he can shake it off at half. #billsmafia

Bills are celebrating the giving season early against the Browns.
Cleveland averages 8.6 yards per play while marching for an opening drive touchdown. Gross start for the defense.

WNY market gets Jacksonville-Denver on FOX in the late window. I recommend flipping over from CBS after the Bills game. Pittsburgh-Detroit will be on CBS, which could be fun, but worth seeing AFC contenders we don't always get.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.
