The Bills beat Houston at home and now they must play the rest of
their games on the road.  As much as I would have loved to see the
rest of the playoff games in Buffalo, I think that this will help
the Bills.  I think that in the past years the home field advantage
has helped the Bills too much, they come off the game so
emotionally high that they don't stay focused on preparing for the
next big game. (Like the Super Bowl)  They also get swelled heads
going into the next big game.  They think that just because they're
favored in the point spread and that they just beat a great
football team that they're greatest thing on Gods green earth.
NOT!!!!!! You first have to GET to the Super Bowl and then you have
to WIN the Super Bowl.  Then they can be the greatest thing on Gods
green earth.

Playing and winning on the road will build the character that they
will need to win the big game, the Super Bowl.  I think that this
is the one thing that has kept them form winning it in the past
years.  

I think that by not playing at home will force the Bills to prepare
more for the game.  By having so many starters banged up and having
to rely on their backup personnel will also force them to prepare
more for the game.  This will force the offence and defense to make
some big adjustments, adjustments like they did against Houston.  
I think that Reich's offence can catch opposing defenses off guard
and make some big plays for the Bills.  Jim Kelly's offense was
becoming too predictable and biased towards favoritism.  With Reich
in at quarterback, he is able to provide a fresh new look to the
Bills offence.  He is able to get the ball to different people and
not focus on a select few.  I think that with the Bills preparing
and staying focused for their next games, one game at a time, will
make a big difference in winning the games they will have to play. 

Prepare for the unexpected, expect the unexpected and give the
unexpected.

The Bills gave the fans the greatest home game that they could have
ever asked for.  Now they have to finnish it off.

Were with you Buffalo.                     ____======____
