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.

If you rewatch that game KC was firmly in control most of that game. [Reply]

Yep. Mahomes outplayed him. ESPN QBR agrees with that take as well. I like ESPN's QBR metric because it accounts for rushing stats and so forth. It also accounts for strength of opposing defense if I am not mistaken. They graded Mahomes 97/100 and Allen 92/100. Both were awesome in the game, but I think Mahomes had the tougher job of the two guys...
Mahomes was going against the #1 defense, while Allen was going against a pretty average defense that also had some injuries which made his job even easier than it was already gonna be in the first place. [Reply]
This is a really cool video, and the ending is epic:
Edit: can't add links, but search "Josh Allen: Right Place, Wrong Time - Full Documentary (Patrick Mahomes Rivalry)" on Youtube. The video is by 4th and Troll Fantasy. [Reply]
The insights from a defender on how Kelce catches then runs low and defenders just bounce off him is great as well as the recognition of the Mahomes/Kelce chemistry. Confirming that Kelce is freelancing out there and how hard that is to defend
His commentary about Pacheco and how its going to take 2 or 3 guys to get him down is genuine
Comment section is like a Bills Mafia safe space where they are glazing Veach and Reid for doing things they wish their leadership had done. They fully acknowledge KC’s dominance. [Reply]

Justin Jefferson & Stefon Diggs. That’s a painful deal for Buffalo. They paid big money to Diggs and gave Minnesota the draft pick which delivered Justin Jefferson to the Vikings on a cheap rookie contract. Buffalo would have been better off if they just drafted Jefferson. [Reply]
Saw an interview with Josh Allen in Vegas. Listed off a number of "dawgs" in his team which included Diggs. Your franchise is really ****ed if sulky bitch boy Diggs is one of your team's leaders. [Reply]
