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! 🦬 🦬 🦬

It just wouldn't be good for the Bills, you know they'd be peeking ahead to the Chiefs and that defense is so ripe that I could see Lamar and Henry going nuclear in cold weather. A great rushing team is going to have their way with Buffalo, and even though BAL's defense isn't great, they have the kinds of players who could force 1-2 critical mistakes out of Allen.

And full disclosure, I'm not even sure I want that to happen. I'd love to kill Buffalo's dreams once again. I just genuinely think this version of Baltimore is suited to butt **** them.

Watch the Baltimore/Buffalo game and you'll notice that the Ravens OC has Buffalo completely figured out.

Not just the power runs inside that auto go for 8+ yards unless Buffalo brings more into the box.

You also have the screens and misdirection game as Buffalo D has no instincts, they just run 100MPH towards the ball.

So we are rooting for Baltimore Saturday no questions asked, got it

More critical than the run game is that the THREAT of the run game will wreck Buffalo's secondary.

They don't have the horses to put 8 in the box and cover the gaps. And they'll need 8 in the box.

If Baltimore plays Buffalo, I could see Lamar throwing for 350 yards. Because Buffalo won't allow Henry to wreck them again. They'll throw everything they have at stopping him. In so doing, they'll create space for those easy throws into open areas that Jackson has been so effective with this season.

Yea, Ravens are just a terrible matchup for Buffalo. I think they matchup better with us honestly.

Yeah, they really don't need to move extra people into the box to stop our run game. They just need to be a little more gap disciplined.

Your takeaway: "Well, he just had the fortune of landing on a great team."

Franchise with zero playoff wins since '90 and was an absolute bottom feeder joke, gets a new QB who goes to a SB and plays in another AFCCG in his first 3 years but has a losing team this year because the team ownership are a bunch of cheap bastards and the "braintrust" in the FO aren't good at drafting college players.

If you think Mahomes hasn't benefitted from the team he was drafted by, you're on drugs right now. Notice i said "benefitted" not some stupid shit like it's the reason he's any good.

And if you think Mahomes on that Bengals team with the defensive and WR talent they've had over the last 5 years wouldn't have more than "a SB and plays in another AFCCG" on his resume, you're also on drugs right now.

The Bengals having so little to show for Burrow, Mixon, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Reader, Hendrickson, Wilson, Bell and Bates is just tragic.

Swap little more than the QBs and the Bengals have the better trophy case than KC right now.

Zac Taylor also gives me real “Les Miles” doing less with more vibes.

This season might finally be the one where the incredible talent on his team can’t overcome his annual 1-4 start.

We've gotten pretty lucky with injuries the last few years. It's the Bills turn this year.

The thing about teams that have that kind of luck in the regular season with injuries is that they tend to have some at the end of the year to even things out.

Just look at the Chiefs and all the playoff injuries.

Even healthy, they still gave up 40+ points in each of the last two games. Last year their fans whined about injuries on defense ruining their chances in the Playoffs. No excuse this time around. Will be funny if they still get knocked out earlier than they hope.

That’s very possible depending on which Baltimore offense shows up. Will it be the ground and pound one that capitalizes on Buffalo loading up to stop the run? Or will it be the one from the AFCCG last year that fell behind and leaned on the arm of Lamar to try and win it? That could significantly impact how that game plays out.

I had to stop here...

With the trouble Mahomes has had this and last year with the line he's behind...you think he could do better than Burrow with this team and the offensive line they've put out there?

Just stop it.

Tell us with a straight face Mahomes has 0 passing TDs and the team as a whole has one offensive TD in the fourth quarter of 7 playoff games.

I don't know what he would have. I do know that he's not playing well behind a 'sketchy' pair of tackles. To think he would do better behind a worse Oline in total is insane.
