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.

“Bills take the AFC this season…”
Equals:
“Matt Cassel has the tools needed to be a franchise QB!”
“Damon Huard is a legit starting NFL QB!”
“Gunther was a great DC, so he’ll unquestionably be a great HC!”
“We can take out the Donks, Manning is washed and Alex Smith will shine!”
Cognitive dissonance is a real bitch.
It's crazy the shit you force yourself to believe for even a glimmer of hope.
It took Herm to break me of that.
No. It's not different until it's actually fucking different. Not when they're 2-0 in September, not when it looks like they'll make the playoffs, not when they do make the playoffs. When they go toe-to-toe with against a real fucking Super Bowl contender when the games really matter, and they win, then we can all say "it's different this time!!!"

No.
And neither did Burrow.
Burrow rode his team to the Super Bowl. He didn’t “take” anyone.
He had a good game in the wild card round and then the rest of the playoffs COMBINED (three games), he had 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s.
Allen had as many TD’s in just 2 playoff games as Burrow has in all 6 of his combined.
Put Allen on Cinci and the Bengals have a Lombardi.
Put Allen on KC and the Chiefs win 2 of the last 4 Super Bowl’s, just the same. That doesn’t mean Allen is as good as Mahomes - He’s not - But Reid would make Allen look unstoppable. Allen has done amazing despite a rough coaching staff. Mahomes has the best offensive mind in perhaps NFL history. [Reply]

Allen had a good game against NE and against KC (a loss of course) which was as much a product of his play as KCs DB ineptitude. You make it seem like Allen is some sort of Joe Montana in the playoffs. One year and one year only was he any better than serviceable. [Reply]

Even if you took away Allen’s two BEST playoff games, he STILL has more TD’s than Burrow has in the playoffs.
Put another way… Allen’s 5 worst playoff games are better than all of Burrows combined (6).
Allen is just a better QB. Burrow is Kirk Cousins in stripes. [Reply]
