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 NFL will reportedly consider widening the goal posts during the 2025 season. This change comes one season after #Bills Kicker Tyler Bass missed wide right & the #Chiefs went on to win. pic.twitter.com/RG26TE5SlB
From what I can tell reading their board, Bills fans issues with this game and thinking it’s some sort of breaking point against the Chiefs I’d easily traced back to their delusions and general unwillingness or inability to understand what they are watching during the season.
The majority of them predicted a double digit victory and couldn’t even fathom losing this game. They based this on things like point differential and not accepting that just maybe the Chiefs did actually save plays and could have scored more throughout the season. ANC of course completely ignoring the impact of Brown and a stable oline.
So instead of reevaluating their own analysis they simply pivot to of course they lost because the game was rigged. They also confuse people talking about it with it being a legitimate gripe instead of a created fantasy. [Reply]

The league has seen Andy do this basically two years in a row. This year I thought the 3peat would be tough because other coaches would surely be smart enough to do the same thing to us.
I was wrong. I overestimated them. They're doing the same shit and looking tough and awesome in the regular season and then wondering how or why they can't beat KC. [Reply]

Other teams open up their playbooks, and use their best plays to score more points when they’re already up by multiple scores. Especially Bills, Ravems, Lions seem to be the most worried about regular season stats, and trying to get their quarterback a MVP or other award. Pat has been winning those since his first season starting. So he’s no longer worried about those awards. He’s got much bigger goals he’s trying to accomplish. Let the second tier teams fight amongst each other to win those. Pat, Travis last season sitting out the last game instead of keeping his 1k yard season streak going and even Barkley sitting week 18 when he was so close to setting a new rushing record. They had their sights set on more important goals. And that’s a big difference between the only qb in his own tier at the top, and the other 31 quarterbacks. Pat sees the big picture, he’s been ridiculously consistently winning since stepping on the field in Denver the final week of his rookie season. There’s no other Escalades he needs to prove himself. Rings are the things that live on forever. Same with this potential threepeat. That’s history that will most likely never be obtained by another team again. In 7 seasons he’s already cemented his face on the league’s Mt Rushmore. Now he’s chasing only the guy who played longer than any quarterbacks, and was considered the goat just a season ago. And I think barring injuries or Andy retiring, the thought of topping Brady will keep him motivated to get to 8 rings. Even if he doesn’t top all the passing and TD records that Brady accrued in his 2 decades of owning the league.
Will he one up Brady before he retires? I e learned one important thing in the short time he’s been here. Don’t bet against Patrick Mahomes. He’ll make you regret it almost every time. [Reply]
