I just hope for a good game, regardless. I'm not sure what to think of the jags after these previous two weeks

Your post makes no sense. Congrats on getting in.

Thanks! It's all house $$ at this point, as no one expected it and it took a lot of help to happen. WNY felt like they won the superbowl lol. It's nice to see.
Momentum in that the city has rallied around the team, and it's really something special in that sense. The video of the Bills returning home at 12:45 am to something just short of a parade was really cool to see. There is a connection between the team and city that hasn't happened in eons. 
Now, from another teams fans POV, this may be sad and easy to laugh at. I fully get it. That's what happens when you don't make it into the playoffs in 17 years. 
I don' mean to come off in a way that anyone is really expecting this team to go anywhere or make a splash per se. This year, with this team, playoffs are the accomplishment. By one week at a time, I only mean it's not like we are planning our route to the superbowl or worrying about playing the Pats if they were somehow able to pull an upset. As fans, we are just thrilled the drought has ended and are thankful for the oppertunity to get a week 19. A fresh start so to speak with a team playing with house money and nothing to loose and a community behind them seems to be where it's at with the Bills. The connections and storylines add additional drama to a game that will be viewed as a dud to a degree nationally. The Jags struggle with credit in the media to a degree and the Bills just don' have any in the 1st place - but for these fan bases a 1st rd matchup is pretty cool for both sides. From a Bills POV, the matchup is the best we could hope for from a group of really good teams. The Jags might even be one of the best if not THE best... BUT for the Bills to even have a chance they needed a team that won't throw for 500  and light it up. I think for either of these teams to be successful they need the same style of game to happen. Pound the rock and play stout D. At the very least the Bills have managed to stay in those games and the majority of their wins have arrived from that style of play. I don' expect a win, but hope for a hard fought game from both sides. Hopefully it's a good game that stays interesting until the final qtr.

Good luck gentlemen (and lady)!!!
