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.
Best part of this is the suggestion that the Bills' "hearts weren't in it" almost two weeks after Hamlin was released from the hospital. :-):-) [Reply]

By drafting a few rookies with potential, signing a few mediocre FAs, and getting a quality vet back (while also losing one of their best defensive players), the Bills have vaulted ahead of a team that lost no one of significance, added rookies with potential, and signed several quality FAs.
- Drafted Kincaid, who is our Kelce
- Bolstered our o-line with OTorrence and McGovern.
- Got our All-Pro safety back from injury
- Got new toys for Allen, in Harty and Sherfield

Yeah, imagine if a Titans fan showed up here or on a Bengals forum talking about taking the AFC this season and how successful they've been against SB contenders (I mean, we have Jeff Fisher, but he's obviously satire).
That's really what we're talking about here.
The Bills can have the better roster, QB, paper championships, September and October trophies... but it's easy to see here who the real contenders have been in the AFC.
Here are the (at most) most recent 3 year playoff stretches...
The big differences with the comparison is the Bengals have accomplished more in just 2 playoff seasons than the Bills have in 3, and even if it was the past 4 seasons for the Titans and Bills (not skipping the Titans' non-playoff year), you're just adding in that awful, awful playoff loss for the Bills 4 years ago, which then puts them at 4-4.
7-2, 1 SB win, 2 SB appearances, 2 AFCCG wins, 3 AFCCG appearances, 3-1 against the other 3.
5-2, 1 SB appearance, 1 AFCCG win, 2 AFCCG appearances, 3-1 against the other 3
Your team is old and void of enough talent DiqLick.
Bad drafting and back coaching has caught up to you. If you were smart you'd fire McDermott after this season and hire Mike Kafka who is doing a great job in NY. [Reply]
