They must have some really good places to hide in the Buffalo area. If I'm ever on the run from the mob, Buffalo is my choice to stay out of harm's way.
Why Buffalo?
Think about it. When the Bills were 0-4, you couldn't find a damn fan anywhere. They never wrote. They never complained. They never sent a nasty e-mail.
Now they're everywhere.
The Bills were moved down one spot in the SportsLine.com Power Rankings this week, despite winning 41-7 in San Francisco, and it made the city hotter than any wing sauce they serve up.
Lava hot.
The Bills are a nice story, winning nine of their past 11 games and six in a row to get back into playoff contention. With a victory and some help, the Bills will make the AFC playoffs. Rallying from 0-4 to do so would be a heck of an accomplishment.
But the Bills fell because I moved the Broncos ahead of them this week. Denver is ahead of them in the tiebreaker in the AFC, so they moved ahead. If Denver wins, they're in. Buffalo would be out. It's that simple.
So relax, Bills fans. I know you're passionate about your team, but where were you in September?
Going over the Falls in a barrel? Hiding out in Toronto? Smothered in wing sauce? It was too early to be buried in snow.
But you certainly were hiding somewhere because nobody heard anything from you. Now we can't get you to stop.
