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! 🦬 🦬 🦬

Anybody think there's truth to this? I mean Allen is Allen, I think they'll roll over bad teams, but I'm questionable on if Brady's offensive scheme is going to unlock anything in Allen that wasn't already there.

It will be interesting to see how successful Brady is after opposing teams have an entire offseason to scout/gameplan for this offense.

The benefit of being an interim OC during the middle of the season is you have the element of surprise.

I still think the Bills are the biggest AFC threat to the Chiefs. Allen is really good and unless Burrow can stay healthy, I just dunno about the Bengals.

They're going to have to nail the draft to reload.

Not as concerned about the Bengals even with Burrow. It was their defense that gave KC fits. That defense has taken a step back.

The Texans were rising fast last year and might be in position to replace the Bills in that position. I'm pretty sure they played a last-place schedule though, so we'll have to see how they do against higher level competition.

The Texans are never going to do anything. I don't see them reaching the Bills and Bengals level.

The Bills had more success down the stretch by being a run first team on an offense with Josh Allen.

That’s not sustainable, especially when Josh Allen is taking hits as a running QB as much as he did

[O.city]

Josh is as close to Pat in terms of QB and ability in the league. His A game is good enough to compete with us when we're on our A game.

Honestly a few of the games they've just gotten unlucky. The 13 second game for sure.

The others we were better, but it's just been a tough matchup for them.

Not to argue or to critique, but the defense the Bills ran in the 13 second game to allow the Chiefs to get into field goal range in two plays was absolutely reeruned, and McDermott is honestly lucky to have not lost his job there (and the non-existent defense the Bills played in OT after being ranked the #1 Defense, as well). The Bills deserve to eat their rightful shit for the 13 second game.

The wide right field goal was way unluckier, imho.

I know it is he off-season but the Bills remind of the Chargers and just suck in the post-season after/if they make it.

Wide Right was unlucky. But I think Mahomes would have driven the field right after that to win the game if necessary. There was still a ton of time on the clock. Buffalo was pretty fortunate to even have a chance at tying the game considering Mecole Hardman’s fumble on the goal line cost the Chiefs 7 points.

Also I believe Mahomes would have handled that 2nd and 9 play better than Josh did. Probably would have taken the checkdown to Diggs for the easy first down. Josh held the ball long enough for Chris Jones to disrupt the play.

The Bills had plenty of favorable luck in that game. They converted a 4th and 13 for a TD where the defender literally just fell down, making a difficult situation easy as can be. Pretty fortunate there. As for how they ultimately lost, not sure what’s unlucky about it. Stupid defense at 13 seconds sure, but that’s not being unlucky.

Buffalo was extremely lucky in the 13 second game and this year's playoff game. Seemed like nearly every bounce of the football went their way (two fumbles for sure.)

I'm glad you brought that play up....DJ had a post a few days ago I wanted to comment I but I can't find it now.

He said Josh's A game matches Mahomes A game, and I would agree with the during the regulars season/first three quarters of any game, but I think in clutch moments Mahomes takes it up another tick that Josh just doesn't possess. Or if he does he sure the hell hasn't proven it like Mahomes has. I was actually going to point to the drive you mentioned above where Josh totally ****ed up the 2nd and 9. I think Patrick converts that, and I definitely think he would've drove us down to go ahead again of the Bills made that field goal.

Yeah I was at that game and Mahomes was running for his life and had to work for every inch (other than that play Tyreek housed) and Josh was just out there playing pitch and catch with high school open WRs.
