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.

Honestly it doesn’t seem like a completely impossible scenario.
They wouldn't say it, but the most likely reason Allen would leave is that Buffalo is a frozen shithole. [Reply]
PFF had Coleman as the worst separator in this draft. I don’t get it at all. He’s probably best in that Rice role in the middle of the field but you already have 2 TE’s already doing that.
I have no clue what these guys think they’re doing. Puka is the outlier not the norm and he was a way better technician than Coleman.
Man, putting all your eggs in the Keon Coleman basket AND expecting him to play the position his profile suggests isn't where he fits...
If you squint maybe you hope he becomes Dwyane Bowe?
Bowe wasn't a premier separator - just a guy who knew how to use his body to shield guys off. And he didn't need good QB play to be pretty effective...obviously.
Best justification for the pick/plan I've got. [Reply]
Lol this is exactly what I've been saying about the pick:
Yep… my two worst “landing spots based on likely improper use” is Coleman and Nabers…. but obviously high volume on other side. I’m very conflicted. pic.twitter.com/aMACz867gI

Holy Crap! Isn't this the truth. I was 8 years old when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 1969 and I thought every player on the Chiefs was the very best at his position in all of football. I spent the next 8 years or so in absolute denial about where the Chiefs were and where they were going. It was always injuries or bad luck that were to blame. It's like an alcoholic that can't accept they have a problem until they absolutely hit rock bottom. Rock bottom for the Chiefs came in 1977. When will Denver fans stand up and accept they've hit rock bottom?
ETA - I lost track of the fact that this thread is about the Bills and made my response about the Broncos. Oh well. [Reply]

IMO young Bowe was a much better athlete than Coleman. He had much better short area quickness and better (if unrefined) feet. Old Bowe hitting up too much Sonic wasn't that guy anymore. But young Bowe IMO was a better athlete coming out.
Plus, GOD FUCKING Squimin Herman Motherfucking Sack of Cunt Edwards was going to "establish the run" so when Bowe got the ball it was a surprise and he didn't get great coverage. Go look at the highlights, he beat some really shittacular coverage. Maybe that's what BooFaloo is going for, but eventually Coleman is going to have to win on 3rd and long (remember Squirmin Herman Motherfucking Sack of Cunt Edwards wasn't super good there in the R2P2 days), and I don't like what I see there. Diggs could absolutely RAPE intermediate routes. Coleman ain't that dude. [Reply]

Bills fans having to talk themselves into Chase Claypool is quality entertainment.
Bills have no receivers good against man coverage, they seem to think that defenses are just going to keep their safeties deep and play zone no matter what. Good luck winning playoff games like that, Spags will have these guys clamped down again even without Sneed. Bills fans have collectively forgotten how their receivers couldn't get separation in that playoff game, but the rest of the league hasn't. [Reply]
