Never Play Football in Buffalo, in January!
This game started poorly for us and then got worse. And unfortunately it means our Super Bowl defense year comes to an end on a snow-covered, bitterly cold field in Buffalo as we exit after the Conference Final.
We kicked off, covered down field, but Johnnie Lee Higgins found a seam to the sideline and never looked back. After 98 yards he had the first six points on the board before some of the Buffalo faithful had even taken their seats.
After that, while we were able to put up some significant yardage in the air, Matt was picked 5 times through the game (two coming very late when it was all but over, but still...) and that sealed things for us.
To add insult to injury, we were also stopped early in the 4th, when their might have been a glimmer of comeback hope, by a holding call after taking it into the end zone for six. The resulting penalty took us back and with four downs we couldn't return to the end zone on that drive and came away with nothing.
Five turnovers...losing all five...and each one stopping significant gains...very painful way to end the year!
Full credit to the Buffalo Bills. They were ready for us, seemed to know the field better than we did, especially in the snow and ice and will be worthy AFC contenders in this years Super Bowl in two weeks!
We wish them the best of luck. We'll be following their progress that Sunday I'm sure and then we'll start evaluating where we are and where we need to be for the coming season!

With M11 coming so soon, I really zipped through this last season, simming some games, playing a little coach mode early (as the record shows :-)) and spectating a few of the rival games (and the playoffs).
*** REALLY wish that they could manages injuries in "spectate" only, but that's just me
SUPER BOWL results in about two hours!
Then, hopefully I'll have an M11 waiting for a new franchise. I'm thinking BROWNS...maybe BILLS...maybe BUCS?
OR...maybe Browns AND Bucs and run two parallel franchises to see if I can time them to both meet at the end?!?
Thanks for following along.
