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.
I’m still floored that Spags did not put a spy on Josh Allen this time like he did both times last season.
I’m also floored that Spags rarely blitzed Bo Nix 2 weeks ago, especially on the money play that was converted to Sutton.
Idk man. Not at all saying they are not trying to win. I think they are trying to work through different shit on offense (showcasing Worthy) while also holding back some things on defense and see what they have at corner (since they have no choice).
I think shit it going to be way different with the gameplan on both sides of the ball in the playoffs. [Reply]

Those people were triggered by the simplest of gesture. It was a funny read. Some really do hate Travis. Weird because he’s always classy when talking about other teams and players. [Reply]

Regular season games are effectively practice for this franchise at this point. Has been a noticeable difference the past few years from the earlier years of the Mahomes era. [Reply]

Yep. That was why I wanted to see what they were saying. In fairness, a lot of those posters were saying very similar things to what you're saying here. There's always the ones that gotta see a nazi/communist behind every tree though. [Reply]

It's because the team got less explosive and more ball control starting in 2022.
When you are winning with less talent and more guile you better save some of that guile for the postseason.
More ball control is harder to sustain over 20 games, too. Can't always bring the same intensity every week.
I think it's part of the reason the team, at times, looked worn down and tired in '23.
'22 was a fucking grind. They literally ground JuJu into dust.
I think Andy is acutely aware of the stars all playing a full season's worth of extra games at this point and has been careful to load manage. A big part of the reason the Niners and Cowboys never threepeated was fatigue. Probably Patriots too.
I expect to see a different team in the postseason. In the meantime we will just have to endure having the best record in the NFL. :-) [Reply]
