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.

*Josh Allen’s Pick 6 throw dropped by KC defense [Reply]
Funny how they've been comparing Allen to Mahomes all these years and they're sssoooo fucking desperate to crown Allen, while at the same time losing their grip on reality as the years go by and the what-ifs pile higher and higher.
We'll be right back here next year, cherry picking regular season stats and saying "if Allen finally beats the Chiefs this one time, can we say he's better than Mahomes now?!?" :-) [Reply]

It’s funny watching some pretend it’s just now that they have been discussing him as better. It’s been years that they’ve said Allen is better and yeah your observation that they are just sticking with it even as the L’s and unappealing facts like up is pretty amusing.
A few years back Ravens fans would talk about Lamar being better but at least they abandoned that some time ago. [Reply]

We matchup much better against Baltimore than even a 100% healthy Bills team does, so there's no way they were getting to the Super Bowl.

They can say it as much as they want and believe it as much as they want, doesn't matter.
Only things that matter are Lamar Hunt trophies, Lombardi's, and rings. [Reply]

Yeah, and on a larger scale (not just divisional wins, lol), I saw a McAfee bit the other day answering some dumb question about "does Mahomes get a pass of they lose" and also saw a 49ers fan whining about how Mahomes will get all the credit for a win and none of the blame for a loss.
And McAfee's response was perfect, mentioning what he's accomplished by 28yo and he's already an all time great QB.
Not even sure what "getting a pass" means in that context, people are so damn desperate to dismiss what he's done if he doesn’t win ever single Super Bowl... it's nuts.
There's no active QB who compares to the guy, no matter how much they want it to be true... and he can only build on his legacy at this point. [Reply]

Based on the logic of trying to criticize Mahomes for not winning every single game, Tom Brady is a failure for “only” winning 7 titles in 22 years as a starter. That’s 15 years where people can try to take shots at him for not winning. [Reply]

Pretty sure he got a lot of blame for the AFCCG loss to the Bengals. [Reply]
Bills love to say Mahomes was gifted the 13 second game, Allen outplayed him and left the field a winner, McDermott failed, etc. therefore he shouldn’t have made that AFC championship.
They never seem to want to acknowledge that we were much closer and more assured a victory against the Patriots in the AFC championship to reach the Super Bowl than they were to winning the 13 second game. [Reply]

Yup, they only saved themselves even more heartbreak. [Reply]

I mean, one could argue that Josh Allen was GIFTED success with the Chiefs only 2 good DBs, including the signal caller, injured in the middle of the game.
Or when he had a WIDE open TD pass to take the lead inside of 2 minutes because a defensive back literally fell down during the backpedal. [Reply]
