What a start, eh? SKOL breaks Frank Reich’s all-time comeback record, against Frank Reich’s former charges. It was 33-nil at the half. It was 36-7 late into Q3. Captain Dingleberry STILL tossed what looked like a back-breaking Q4 pickerception. But the Humps ultimately humped it all away, on a long TD “screen and rumble” by Dalvin Cook. 36-all, before we even hit 2:00. Sheeit, Minny even got the ball back with 1:10 and the chance to win (and predictably didn’t make a single first down).
But OT was just a trade of punts, followed by a gassed Indy D surrendering the winning FG drive. 39-36, and yeah right will scope out local “Nutcracker” options every gameday going forward.
Let’s not speak much of Ratbirds aways to #ThePauls. Plus, I am writing this in advance.

Most importantly, despite the playoff impact fpr both squadoos – the FORECAST, as of 5:30 Hippo Standard Time:
Snow this evening will transition to snow showers late. Low 27F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 5 to 8 inches.
No wussing out and going to Detroit this goddamned week! Y’all will play in the snow, and allow our inner 8-year olds to rejoice in the sweet entropy. Buffalo has the better defensive front AND offensive line, so I still give them the advantage. But maybe chaos will bring us the Most Glorious Draw we almost had in Minneapolis. As always, Hippo shall root for it.
There are also bad JV exhibitions on ABC and ESPN, should you hate yourself enough to flip over. DID I MENTION SNOW GAME??
Everybody figured out the puzzle in this week’s That’s My Raiders!, right?
There was a puzzle?

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE
THESE PEOPLE WHO STAYED UP LATE TO WATCH THE DOLPHINS-BILLS GAME I CALL US DEANNA FAVRE BECAUSE WE WERE PROMISED 5 TO 8 INCHES BUT WE ENDED UP GETTING LESS THAN 4.
See now I think that’s a banner
And we get more tomorrow! I need to rest up, goodnight and enjoy this beautiful melanistic fox!
Update: this party rocks.
Is Jim Irsay going to fire Jeff Saturday and hire…

Yinz turns!
Postgame liquor store shopping is fun.
Belgian beer is my kryptonite. I can go > 10 rounds of whiskey with no real problems but if I dive into the Belgians it is literally La Fin du Monde.
It’s a local craft brewer that lives in my neighbourhood, so if I have a complaint I can get a freebie or four from him.
North Texas and Boise State. Boise airport used to have a welcome mat of Smurf Turf at the escalator landing that invited visitors to “touch the Blue.”
I declined touching any smurf turf. Thought about taking a leak, but it was in full view and probably on camera.
Oh Christ, that was hilarious. I almost peed my pants laffing!
Those Bills players cleared snow as well as a New England prisoner on work release
Fisticuffs!
I just found $11 someone left. Late pizza on me.
It’s days like this that make it fucking impossible to get this stupid Goodell-faced monkey off my back.
NOW THROW THE SNOWBALLS
And the snow dildos!
I know they made it, but why would the Bills ever trust a kicker?
Tyler Bass > Blair Walsh
I guess we can take Singletary off the list of guys likely to solve the physics of black holes list.
The eyes are smaller than I remember
I thought that was the smart play. Sucks that he didn’t get the first down, but that line was what, less than a yard away?
It was a good thing I had swapped Singletary out of my lineup, because if he was in my lineup my head would have asploded.
You have to at least get the first down, and a TD there is hardly the worst thing in the world.
Nah, Miami was out of timeouts and Buffalo had one. 17 took a knee and Buffalo called the timeout with two seconds.
Didn’t Chubb’s TD earlier this year leave NYJ enough to win?
Once again, the National Football League is faker that Pro Wrestling.
This is undeniable.

Hey, BillsMafia! Now is not the time for Die Hard’s ending credits theme. Back to football!
I’d love to see Miami lose after the shit they pulled with playing an endangered Tua earlier this season. I am annoyed just looking at their coach.
There’s a lot of reasons to hate the Dolphins. Stephen Ross, for one.
Hmm, wil the QB from Wyoming or Alabama have the advantage in these conditions?
You mean Hawaii?
PAWL HE CANT SPEEK EGLISH IF HE FRUM HAWAIWAI! PAWWLLL
OR BE PRESIDENT!
My son’s travel baseball team once played a game in New Hampshire when a freak snowstorm came down like this. The coaches stopped the game when some kid ripped a line drive that no one could see until it landed.
The ride home was less than ideal.
I remember being 8 years old and my high school was playing late into November, the game before the state championship. We drove 2 hours east into a blizzard. Game got suspended at halftime with it being 0-0.
Ride home my dad was pissed because they were gonna replay the game at noon the next day, and he knew our guys would be exhausted from the trip and quick turnaround. He was right. Snow is fun…. to a point
Sometimes when we’d shag fly balls in college at its apex the ball would disappear for an instant into a perfectly clear blue Los Angeles sky.
God, I love droughts.
90 yards, there’s 6 minutes, its cold, it’s snowing, and we’re wearing shades. Hit it.
The parking lot will look like the police cruiser pileup soon enough.
From your lips to Xenu’s many ears
I think Bills Mafia needs more alcohol.
That makes two of us

Wait a minute?! Southern Florida is warmer than Northwestern New York State?!
I, for one, am shocked.
The Bills have tied the game by
It’s called a touchDOWN not a breakPLANE
That is one of the cool things about a rugby try.
“Just the tip”
Referee: “After reviewing the play, I don’t want to be hit with a snowball. Touchdown, Seahawks!”
There’s a henry Caville joke in here somewhere
Abby would have run a better play than Josh just did.
“IT’S NOT A FUCKING LOAF OF BREAD, JOSH.”

(I am determined to make Abby a recurring DFO character)
You got some kind of a problem with Karis?
We got plenty of room.
If Miami is smart, they’d sneak some assistants into the stands and throw snowballs at the Miami sideline to draw the flag.
