On to the AFC championship- feels great to write those words. Couple thoughts:

1) At halftime I was thinking about that AFC championship game in the early 90s against Denver that Buffalo won 10-7. Obviously the Taron Johnson pick-6 draws even stronger parallels now. What a win in tough conditions when the offense wasn’t clicking against a stout defense.

2) The defensive performance last night was incredible. I think what shocked me the most was the amount of pressure the front four generated. Last week I thought I was witnessing the decline of Jerry Hughes in real time- but he was a monster last night. Outside of the last drive where they were content to sit back in a Charmin soft zone, wow did they play great.

3) I remain a little curious on the offense- you can’t argue with results but what happened to our creativity? Outside of the TD play and the third down conversion to Knox on the third quarter- it just doesn’t look or feel the same. I know we are playing against top defenses now but I’d love to know the philosophy. Our WRs must be really banged up.

4) LOL at all those supposed geniuses in the national media who claimed Beane overplayed for Diggs.

5) Fingers crossed that the Browns knock off the Chiefs today and we’re back at the Ralph this week.  Exciting to know that we match up well with either squad and have a legit shot at the Super Bowl.

This is going to be a super long week...
