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.

We haven’t shown any ability that we can. The middle 10-20 yards is wide open all day against them, which is why Kelce destroyed them so frequently, but I don’t think we can attack that area anymore. The only hope there is Brown. I think the Bills defense will be their undoing, it just wouldn’t be us doing it. So I’d prefer they lose before getting to us. [Reply]
And the funny thing is Buffalo have no bullets left in the chamber. This roster is who they will be moving forward. Meanwhile we have Brown, Nelson, Humphries and hopefully Watson to return. [Reply]

Bills have given up 30+ points four times this year and they just gave up 40+ in back to back weeks. Their offense may be humming, but we’re still a month away from the playoffs and that frigidly cold weather that seems to slow big offenses down in January. We’ve seen it before.
And the Texans beat them 23-20 earlier in the year. They are NOT a special offense. [Reply]

Josh Allen literally had the perfect game against as a QB against a Belichick-led defense in a January snow game.
Josh Allen torched our defense in the playoffs a few years ago in a very cold game.
What in the world makes you think weather will be their undoing? [Reply]
It's gonna be very interesting to see how the media talk about Buffalo tomorrow. When we let up 30 and 27 in back to back games them folks were talking about our defense. So will they do the same to Buffalo or pretend they haven't been torn apart by the Ravens, Rams and Lions? When teams literally do what they want against your defense it suggests the scheme and players tendencies have been decoded.
I think out of their last three games the Jets may have a chance to get an upset if they play above themselves. Wilson, Adams, Hall and a Rogers that's playing better these days along with a defense that knows Allen well just might be able to cause an upset. Especially against that terrible defense. [Reply]

What is Buffalo ranked in points allowed per game anyway?
The Texans offense is not anything special now, but they were playing well offensively when they played Buffalo. That was so long ago anyway. Also, Buffalo's offense back then was not playing nearly as well as it's playing now.

Good luck in Arrowhead vs Playoff Mahomes, Humphries and Hollywood.
LOL. I doubt they're worried about facing Humphries. [Reply]
