The Bills take the AFC this seasom

[JustDíqLix]

Are you ready for some football!?

I know I am!

With that, I am here to make a proclamation!

The mighty Bills from Buffalo will take the AFC this year.

For two decades I watched people say the Patriots window was closed, that their time was dwindling, that it was all over… seemingly every time those predictions happened, the Patriots went and won another Super Bowl.

A lot of doom talk simply because we lost to the Bengals in the playoffs. Let us not forget that the Bills watched their brother DIE on the field just a few weeks prior. Their heart was simply not in it. If it had been, the Bills would have captured the AFC last year.

The Bills have won 2 of their last 3 in Arrowhead and they’re ready to make it 3 of the last 4.

Let’s go mighty Buffalo Bills! 🦬 🦬 🦬

Bengals and Texans will be our primary competition next year. Burrow has one more year to try to push through before the cap changes happen and the Texans will have so much money to play with this Spring

But after that it was over. That's why they got ****ed up by the 98 Chiefs.

The way Veach and Mahomes and Reid operate, we have a chance to duplicate what Dallas did. Six rings in 10 years sounds about right.

The relative weakness of the AFC is a good comp, too.

Lamar smells a lot like Randall Cunningham, and Allen is Favre, who could never get past Dallas.

The AFC is relatively weak?

Compared to the Chiefs? Yes.

In a down year we laughed at the AFC's best in their own houses.

And Buffalo and Cincy are getting worse. Baltimore, Miami, who cares.

Stroud in Houston has 4 years left on the cheap rookie contract, and I would guess his extension in 2026 will be backloaded as much as possible. So maybe 6-7 years of pretty low cap hits. I think that makes Houston a potential challenger.

Jim Harbaugh will make sure the Chargers have a better defense and stronger run game to make the job as easy as possible on Justin Herbert. This team will be a lot better than they were with Brandon Staley.

We can worry about Houston when they prove they're more than a one year wonder with a last place schedule.

Hobbled Mahomes.

Dogshit offense.

League couldn't do SHIT.

Everyone's ****ed. I legit think Mahomes may get to 7 now.

We can worry about Houston when they don't get dog-walked by the Ravens in the playoffs.

10 - Brady shat his pants against the Jets
11 - got Spagsed
12 - Brady shat his pants against Baltimore
13 - Brady shat his pants against Denver

Of the things on this list, I can only see one happening to Mahomes, and that's losing to a Hall of Fame QB.

Playoff Mahomes isn't going to have a shit defense anytime soon, and no DC is going to shut him down like Brady was.

Injury is a possibility, but again Mahomes never gets hurt bad enough that he can't play at extremely high levels, it seems.

Mahomes is better than Brady. He will not have a 10-year drought. I can see an occasional pants-shitting, but not an absolute shit ton like Brady had.

Seeing as it’s impossible for Mahomes to get Spagsed, it looks like we’re golden!

"We love Josh Allen" Then love him enough to trade him to the NFC were he can go to Super Bowls

Peyton Manning in the Playoffs:
2006 ring: 70/158 passer rating with 3 TD and 7 INT in the playoffs
2015 ring: 75/158 passer rating with 2 TD and 1 INT in the playoffs
P-Manning Playoff career: 87/158 passer rating with 40 TD and 25 INT

Meanwhile...

Mahomes Playoff career: 106/158 passer rating with 41 TD and 8 INT
Josh Allen Playoff career: 100/158 passer rating with 21 TD and 4 INT

This does not even factor in the rushing ability of both Mahomes & Josh Allen. Patrick was responsible for 50% of the Chiefs rushing yards in the Super Bowl the other day, including those huge runs on 4th down and 3rd down in the game-winning drive. Many other playoff games where Patrick's legs were a big part of helping the Chiefs offense. Josh Allen's legs are a major part of Buffalo's rushing attack through the years. Peyton Manning was a total statue compared to those 2 guys.

Manning played against real competition, Josh was putting big numbers against mid playoff teams, look at the qbs he beat

It is hard to believe the chargers will be a threat - regardless of a new coach.

How many years have they been the pre-season champs and then imploded.

That cycle won't be changed quickly.

Harbaugh's staff and McVay's staff wars should prove interesting from afar

Do not worry about Houston, they have to reach a SB for the first time to grab my attention.
