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.

There's very little nuance over at TBD and jumping through folding tables head first probably doesn't help with memory, since they convinced themselves of the same thing in 2020 and 2021 (and probably 2022 had they made it that far). [Reply]

I've seen it by more than just Bills fan, it's more weird than anything. [Reply]

It’s quite hilarious. Every year is the exact same. Before the season they proclaim they are the best overall roster with the best QB. As the season goes on and they lose more games its Chiefs are lucky with injuries and Allen has to do everything on his own because he lacks support. Then before the playoff games they are back to them having the best team and the team that wants it more so they will win. After they lose it’s Allen had to do more with less than Mahomes and had it harder than Mahomes so that’s why they lost. [Reply]

They don't accept that they could have lost last year without the injuries on defense.
You'd think that after 4 years of regular season success against the Chiefs, followed by postseason disappointment that includes the Chiefs' offense efficiently carving its way through the Bills' defense like a hot knife through butter, they'd have a little more trepidation and respect for the idea of KC's offense being a different beast in the postseason, but cest la vie.
They'll find out.
They'll never acknowledge that. They've found out over and over again already. Bills fans are simply living in denial. [Reply]

Yeah, it's always the same. We also shouldn't forget them talking about how "hot" they are (generally when they've finished torching through a late-schedule jaunt with the AFC East).
And major credit being given to their blowout wins against bad teams. [Reply]
The Bills fans' collective psyche has been warped by decades of traumatic, soul-crushing defeats on the sport's biggest stage in the most humiliating ways possible. They have lost all perspective and have become untethered to reality.

What do you expect from any opposing fan base? Every fan thinks their team is the best. Unfortunately for them, their team hasn’t been able to actually prove it yet. [Reply]
