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.

True, but has Buffalo lost anyone with the impact to them that the loss of Watt has for the Steelers? [Reply]

Gabe Davis, Dobson, Rapp, Douglas etc. They are missing guys at all levels. Steelers can't ask for anything more than this tbh when you add in the weather forecast. Dawkins is also very banged up. A physical game by the Steelers could really do damage imo and may have consequences even if the Bills pull off a win. [Reply]

The weather for this game looks pretty nasty- snow, windy and cold. Passing in that weather may be difficult. The Bills have an advantage if it’s a running/pound it out kind of game but it will probably be low-scoring. [Reply]

No doubt Buffalo is banged up and from a sheer quantity standpoint they balance out. Losing Watt of defense would be like Buffalo being without Allen. Watt is an elite HOF player in his prime. That is almost impossible to replace. I would love for Pittsburgh to beat them and there always is a chance, but the loss of Watt is huge. [Reply]
Multiple sources tell me there's no truth to rumor the Steelers-Bills wild-card playoff game could be moved to Cleveland due to weather concerns in Western New York.
