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.

The other thing no one is really talking about, is if the Bengals beat the Steelers next week there is a world where the Broncos or especially the Chargers can pass Pittsburgh and get the 5 seed.
The flipside to that is the Chargers win this week and clinch, they sit everyone and lose next week. The Broncos win the last two and the Chargers could end up as the 7 seed and go to Buffalo. Chargers/Ravens/Chiefs is about as tough of a road as you can have in the AFC just because of the QBs.
I don’t think the Chargers are beating Buffalo in Buffalo. If there was any anti “clutch” QB heading into the playoffs Herbert would surely be one of them. [Reply]
Not really related so much to the Bills, but I'll piss my pants laughing at the Bengals and Broncos if somehow, by the grace of god either the Dolphins or Colts slide into playoffs. [Reply]

Then for the playoffs only KC is moved to the NFC? Then KC (because of the move) is disqualified from the playoffs this year, preventing Buffalo from possibly facing them in the SB.
Starting next year KC would be permanent NFC (which a Bills poster once suggested) team and they get replaced by the New York Giants.
It a win all around for them. They avoid the scary teams with scary QBs while having the easiest possible SB path…..because it’s fair and all.

Yeah, that would be a tough ask for a SoCal dome team with very little (any? I can't remember) playoff experience. I would laugh my ass off if it happened, though. [Reply]

Bo Nix pulling a Tebow and knocking them out would be the funniest outcome. [Reply]

And that’s a big ask for a whole new coaching staff to come in and try to win with players that may not fit their system. They do have the key element you need in Allen. But if they fire McD Buffalo fans will likely have higher expectations than any coach can produce. [Reply]

Oh I wouldn't bet on it either. They're just going to be a pain in the 1st round. You know Harbaugh will have them ready. They have a good defense and they can slow the game down and limit possessions. [Reply]

I don't remember barely anyone here crying about us having to play Miami, and then having to go play Buffalo and Baltimore in their houses, to only go on to then play SF in a neutral stadium. You'd think Buffalo fans would have thicker skin, but they're really a bunch of crybaby pussies.
To be fair, every fan wants their team to have the easiest matchups possible in the Playoffs. I'm glad the Chiefs are on the good side of things right now. I hope Baltimore gets another win next week to make sure Buffalo & Baltimore are stuck playing each other in the divisional round. [Reply]

The Chargers aren't beating anyone. That is the most overrated playoff team. Harbaw! Has them playing like complete bitches. Reminds me alot like the Iowa Hawkeyes. Such a boring low ceiling team. [Reply]
Good time to mention that not only did the Bills willingly trade with us so we could get Xavier Worthy….the pick we got from Buffalo in that trade was used on Jaden Hicks :-) [Reply]
