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 #Bills and WR Khalil Shakir agreed to terms on a 4-year contract extension worth up to $60.2M, including $32M guaranteed at signing, per me and @TomPelissero.

They’ll never let the defense match force with force because “that would be dangerous!” so they need to scrap the whole thing.
Either you care about player safety or you don’t, NFL. Pick one
This is where I have landed.
The QB sneak is a legitimate play.
The QB shove with multiple offensive players shoving the ball carrier is not, as the offense gains a significant advantage there (the ability to push from behind) that the defense cannot match. [Reply]

Another really good argument I've heard on it is that its impossible to officiate.
You really can't make a forward progress call and determine with any certainty when/where it was stopped. You can't even SEE the ballcarrier most of the time.
The league had it right when they outlawed that 'assistance' stuff and for whatever reason got away from it. I don't get it. [Reply]

He's a pretty solid player. The receiver market is soon gonna be $40M per year with JaMarr Chase, so $15M per year doesn't seem that crazy for Shakir. [Reply]

The Bills are just ridiculous hypocrites with this stuff.
Came here to post this. Or maybe Allen got hurt when their fucktard asses failed against us.

They did pick.
They give absolutely less than no fucks about any player safety unless it's a QB. What they care about is selling a thing veneer of caring to not drive off casual fans. We are here for the duration. The half ass tune in on Sundays people that are quick to shut off if their feelings get hurt.

This is it. I don’t know why we even bother getting riled up either way about these deals.
We won’t know if it was a good decision for another few years. [Reply]
Bills GM Brandon Beane lets NFL teams know he is open for business in potential blockbuster trade
fans have been devising mock trades for superstar edge rushers since the NFL season ended. More specifically, since Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett requested a trade.
A star the caliber of a former Defensive Player of the Year would certainly not come cheap on the trade market, but we've seen Beane and the Bills get aggressive when it comes to making big trades. The Bills traded their first-round pick in a package to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for Stefon Diggs in 2020, and that obviously brought great results with it. Would Beane be willing to make another splash trade like that again? According to the general manager himself, the answer is yes.
Speaking at the NFL Combine on Tuesday, Beane was asked if he would be willing to trade the Bills' first-round pick in any potential trades this offseason.
"Anything that can help our roster, yes," Beane said.
For Buffalo fans wanting to see that big potential deal for Myles Garrett or Micah Parsons, hearing that the Bills would listen to anything even if it involves trading their first-round pick will get them very excited. [Reply]
The Myles Garrett trade isn't happening. It just makes no sense from Cleveland's side. They would reportedly have to cut/trade other good players too just to make the trade work. [Reply]
It has always seemed to me like the Bills fans hatred of the Chiefs was a little overwrought. It's a bit more understandable now given the number of times we've beaten them in the playoffs recently, but in previous years it seemed overblown.
I was watching some videos of the Royals 2015 World Series run and it occurred to me what a big part of the reason is. Bills fans are mostly the same people as Blue Jays fans. They double hate us because of both the Royals and the Chiefs. I know this is not any keen insight, but having not really thought about it before, it helps to make more sense of the vitriol. [Reply]
