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.

That's the trump card. Anyone can complain about a play or complain about a set of plays. When you have the ball in your hands with a chance to tie or win and you fail, THAT'S why you lost [Reply]

Kincaid made a crazy adjustment just to give himself a chance. It was better attemp attempt at the catch than it was a throw.
After watching that play from behind again, I noticed that even if Kincaid had been able to "catch" the ball, he was unlikely to maintain possession when he hit the ground. He had his elbows down and hitting the ground would very likely have jarred the ball loose. [Reply]

The other 11 games is enough. Give me a cakewalk like the Brotherfucking Cheatriot Fuckbags had for 2 decades.

Please and thank you.
When life gives you lemons, you gotta make lemonade out of it. The other 3 teams in the AFC West have hired pretty legit coaches. Not gonna be easy dealing with them. But it can help prepare for the Playoff battles too. [Reply]
Buffalo had one of the luckiest turnover seasons in history and still wasn't good enough to get a bye or get to the Superbowl. They've gotten very little out of their last two drafts, even Kincaid has been a disappointment. Beane needs to find a fresh injection of talent because they overachieved if anything. Cooper will be gone and they still have no X receiver and a bunch of holes on defense. They'll win their division, but I don't really see a reason to expect them to be better in the future. [Reply]

FUCK. VON. MILLER.
You must know he thought he was going to spoil our 3peat and become the first player to win 3 rings with 3 different teams. Those old players are delusional, and I have no doubt he believed what he said when he was talking about how great he is historically in the playoffs (as if he were going to duplicate it).
i don’t think they called his name once in the broadcast. can’t even say if he played a snap. didn’t notice him once. that’s probably why no one even cared to mention his washed up self [Reply]

29 of 34 turnover worthy plays had a positive outcome for the Bills this season.

It was suggested by one of the fans at TBD prior to our week 11 matchup that they should lose that game so that they can beat us in the playoffs.

Someone should let him know that's not how it works.
We lose to them in the regular season because we show them NOTHING while they unload everything they can think of.
Come crunch time in the playoffs, like 4th and 5 or getting a couple 1st downs to ice the game we pull out a new one and close. [Reply]
