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.
Regarding Allen he is the only QB who can potentially go toe to toe with Mahomes when he is on his A game. But that doesn’t mean his A game is as good as Mahomes’ game. But it’s as close as anyone else and certainly more threatening than the ever overrated Burrow. [Reply]

Burrow and Allen are both good but different.
Allen is more physically gifted and his running and as a FB near the goal line and red zone keeps the Bills in most games.
Burrow is more cerebral and reads the defenses better, goes through progressions better, and is far better with ball placement and accuracy. But his arm is not special enough to pierce zone windows like an Allen or Mahomes. [Reply]

The Bills deserve to eat their rightful shit for the 13 second game.
The wide right field goal was way unluckier, imho.
Not only that but kicking the ball deep when they took the lead with :13 was also absolute idiocy. Should have squibbed it and burned a few seconds. The ending of that game was a fireable offense. [Reply]

Honestly a few of the games they've just gotten unlucky. The 13 second game for sure.
The others we were better, but it's just been a tough matchup for them.
You might want to rewatch that :13 second game again and not just the last two minutes. If not for a lot of luck going Buffalo’s way that game goes down as an easy win for KC. They weren’t unlucky at all. [Reply]

The ball has bounced their way A LOT in our games against them.

Anybody think there's truth to this? I mean Allen is Allen, I think they'll roll over bad teams, but I'm questionable on if Brady's offensive scheme is going to unlock anything in Allen that wasn't already there.
coming in midseason brady really couldnt implement his playbook--he was running dorsey's playbook with emphasis on run more....this year he will be calling his playbook...
if buffalo is smart they get a good rb to tandem with cook and utilize more play action..Allen's numbers on play action are very good
their signing of samuel may pay dividends--he had his best year under brady at carolina...but brady needs to get diggs back in the loop---he tailed off in second half last year
burrow and bengals may or may not be strong challenger--will they keep tee higgins..moss for mixon seems like a downgrade [Reply]
Burrow is more stable, but with a much lower ceiling. Allen is still a far more threatening player though. It’s been obvious for a while. The next time Burrow avoids a sack in the fourth quarter of a playoff game to throw a TD will be the first time. Of course it’s easier to just say the next time Burrow throws a TD in the fourth quarter of a playoff game will be the first time. [Reply]
