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.
Buffalo pretty much had 3 bye weeks to end the season, playing shitty AFC East teams (Patriots/Jets/Patriots) to finish the season. Honestly they pretty much have 6 bye weeks every year when they play the crappy AFC East teams. This year they also got to play 3 shitty teams from the AFC South as well. [Reply]

The first half we looked like we were fatigued. Like we had concrete shoes, which resulted in being out played. We were the better team and 2 weeks rest would have been huge. The consequences of losing those regular season games bit us in the butt. Maybe NFL should grant byes to 2 teams. KC has gotten an easier path and I don’t like it.
