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.

See, I knew there was a reason they didn't want Worthy. [Reply]

State Trooper: Now, you got no outside receivers.
Del: No, we lost that.
State Trooper: You have no functioning coordinators.
Del: No, not a one. (Beat) However, the QB still works. Funny as that may seem, with all this mess, that the QB is the only thing that's really working good, and his brain is clear as a bell, don't ask me how. (chuckles nervously)
State Trooper: I can't let you go ahead with this offense. It's not fit for a championship. [Reply]
The Bills do have some pride. If it was the Broncos, the headline would be: BRONCOS STEAL TWO TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMP. RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER MAHOMES & REIDS NOSES [Reply]

Am I being too generous by giving them Ws vs Miami and NYJ? [Reply]
Last off season was about questioning Lamar. This off season looks to be questioning Josh. Keeping McDermott may lead to Allen following Diggs' lead & wanting out. [Reply]

Meh. Lamar was always questionable as far as being a pocket passer. Josh can play from the pocket. I don't think he's elite in that regard, but compared to Lamar he's Steve Young.
Josh's problems have been he has a defensive HC with an insecurity problem, and a lack of appropriate weapons. For a few years Diggs was his security blanket, but then Diggs started to meltdown or whatever happened. Last year Josh's OC found ways to win without Diggs, so I'm guessing he's matured enough that he doesn't need a top-10 WR anymore to bail him out every other play, the way Tua or Hurts do.
We'll see how far Josh has come this season when defenses no longer have to commit double-teams on Diggs. [Reply]
