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.

It's already starting.. It was just a "bad matchup" with all the Bills injuries on defense. Lack of solid tacklers, etc. :-) [Reply]
I get we have our injuries and issues, but who exactly do we fear in the AFC?
If we get the 1 seed, we’re going to the Super Bowl. The only teams in contention have significantly bigger issues:
Bills - just got destroyed by their first good opponent
Jets - that offense…yuck. Sure, they looked good against New England, but the Titans gave them all they could handle too.
Steelers - I don’t believe in Fields
Ravens - 2 games back and we have the tiebreaker already
Texans - pretty unimpressive so far. [Reply]

With Mahomes playing like this, we could get taken out by anyone.
If he gets his shit together, only teams I’ll worry about are still just the Bills, Ravens and Bengals. [Reply]
It's just nuts that Bills fans still exist in this form... the ones who get their hopes into the stratosphere and then completely meltdown during a bad quarter or half.... and there's no in between.
Some Chiefs fans still meltdown at any breeze of adversity, but at least they've won a few SBs and have high expectations to begin with.... as a Bills fan, you should just be sitting back and hoping for the best while expecting the worst; since the beginning of time and probably until the end of time.
It's fucking hilarious and I'm here for it.
Their team last year was not that much better than their team this year but there are a large number of them who believe that had they vs KC gone to the AFCCG they beat Baltimore.
Last night should have put that belief to bed. Baltimore does what Baltimore always does and that is bully teams. Buffalo is another example of a team that can’t match that style of play. [Reply]

Sticking to my post-week 1 "overreaction" that every team in the AFC got worse in the offseason while the Chiefs got better. [Reply]
