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.

Let’s keep in mind that Rodgers is also a whack job, no doubt that played as big a part in the end results as anything else.
Thankfully, Pat has his head screwed on straight. [Reply]

My new years wish is that everyone in the Bengals organization had a bout of acid reflux watching that game, going "damn, just one more win...".
What do you expect them to do? They have one of the worst OL in the league, Burrow is about to take up a LOT of cap space, Chase and Higgins want to be paid, you just cut the defensive coordinator because your GM is bad at his job.
There’s not much they can do except wish they hadn’t dropped one to the Pats. But they won’t be in a position to actually make anything happen besides wishful thinking. Sorry bro, the window closed. [Reply]

Nah. They saw how much they fucked up in '20 getting Burrow hurt so they jumped in the deep end of the pool in '21. They've tried to ride that roster for the last 4 years with tweaks here and there. They'll jump back in and attempt to fix the Oline and D, while Burrow restructures to sign both Chase and Higgins.
They have plenty of money and ability to reload. Let's just see how capable they are or if they're buttfucking morons. [Reply]

If Pat were in that NFCC game against the Brady Bucs, he takes off running and scores the TD. Packers win and Brady doesn't get his 7th SB.
Aaron lacks that killer instinct. He stuck to the play even though the avenue for victory was staring up right at him. [Reply]

Probably Lamar because he has two MVPs. But it's close. The loser of this game will get shit for a whole year. If it's Buffalo, it could cost McDermott his job. Harbaugh isn't going anywhere. Each team has only one Conference game appearance with these two QBs. [Reply]
