Salt Lake City would be a good NFL city, too. Gonna be 3 teams in the mountain west region now with Las Vegas joining.

And San Francisco

Idk about most balanced, but it's the team with the best culture.

You spelled "Billieve" wrong!

I've been to a lot of cities around the country, though. I've been to Philly multiple times having lived in the Chesapeake area for a time. What I originally said was just in good fun, but there's some truth to it. Philly is the one city I have absolutely no interest in going back to. And that list includes Biloxi, MS.

Yeah, they might need some magic from him this week. Get yo ***** together!

I could realistically see a hands-to-the-face call if he stiff-armed Brady and that's sad

They do have some easy games coming up. Dolphins, Broncos, Steelers, Titans. That should help.

I'm under the opposite impression, actually. Rivers fades as the season goes on. ?‍♂️

You didn't want to put me at #1? ?

The Chargers just don't look like they have any grit. The Texans, Bills, Colts, and Jags all showed toughness while grinding out wins this week. I don't give the Chargers much of a chance without Gordon. With the Jags, I'm anticipating the floor dropping out under Minshew.

With another week in the books and another win for the Bills, let’s take a look at the conference as a whole. AFC Standings Wow, the Fish are monumentally terrible. The Titans, Chargers, and Raiders are all backsliding. Playoff Contenders: The top 6 teams. The cream of the crop. AFCW: Chiefs AFCE: Pats AFCN: Ravens AFCS: Texans WC: Bills WC: Colts What is there to say about the Chiefs? These guys are surefire SB contenders. This offense looks like the new Greatest Show on Turf. Mahomes is on pace for 6,373 yards and 53 TDs. Former Bills LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins look great. Interestingly, the McCoy and Gore TD runs this week were very similar, if not the exact same play. The Patriots sit next to the Chiefs on the AFC throne and no one expected the Jets to put up a fight against the reigning champions this week. Their defense is running on all cylinders, not giving up any offensive points to the Jets. Watching Brady freak out at the refs over the intentional grounding call was entertaining (see video below). Also, Stidham looked bad. I don’t think we have a Jimmy G situation there. Their OLine looked okay. The Bills will need to find ways to hit Brady and get into his throwing lanes on Sunday. Will we see Oliver lining up at DE? The Ravens are in solid control of the AFC North while the rest of the division looks poor. With Jackson, OC Greg Roman can do the same stuff he did with Colin Kaepernick. They seem ready for a deep playoff run, but are definitely outclassed by KC and NE right now. A playoff matchup between the Bills and Ravens could be really exciting, but likely an old school, low scoring defensive battle. (Side note: It was a stupid call by Harbough to go for the 2 pt conversion when the PAT would’ve put them 10 pts behind KC. Was that an analytics call? Also...the drop kick attempt on the last kick-off was really odd.) The Texans go as far as Bill O’Brien takes them. They have amazing talent on both sides of the ball and look ready for a deep playoff run, but their biggest weakness may be in the FO. After getting into a hole early against the Chargers this week, Watson put the team on his shoulders and made some amazing throws to seal the win. Early in the game, he made a TERRIBLE decision when he threw the ball backwards and into the turf, which the Chargers defense easily scooped up. Watson tried to argue that it was an incomplete pass. It was a really boneheaded mistake (one that BIlls fans would surely crucify Allen for). He also threw a bad Allen-esque INT late in the game, but I think he knew it was a free play as the ref had thrown the flag into the backfield before Watson passed it. The Bills would be competitive with this team, but I’d give the edge to the Texans right now for their offense. Say what you will about the Bills’ inconsistency, but they are a really good team. The only AFC team that put together a solid 4 quarters this week was KC. The other teams all had some sloppy play, but the good teams stayed focused and won. The cream of the crop are KC and NE and then I think it’s a toss-up between the Texans, Ravens, and Bills. At least the Bills look like they have the best defense of the bunch. The Colts seem to be making the most out of the least talent. It’s nice that the Bills seemingly don’t have to worry about the Steelers this year. We’ll see if the Browns can get it together, but they’re certainly not meeting expectations. The Bills are producing playmakers all over the place: Gore, Singletary, Brown, Beasley, Knox, McKenzie, and of course Allen. I hope we see Roberts and Foster get into the mix against the Pats this week. The OL is very solid, too. I appreciated the nice holes Gore was able to exploit throughout the game, even after Feliciano was out. Everyone is “doing their 1/11th” (McDermott’s version of “do your job.”) If Singletary is back healthy, I think they could put together a complete game against the Pats, which would be needed in order to get a win. Allen’s calmness in the pocket was on full display against the Bungles. I got worried a few times about the hits he was taking while standing there. On the flip side, he seems to have a Brady-like knack for drawing penalties. The best throws I saw this week were from Allen, Mahomes, and Watson. Allen was playing Favre-esque backyard football in the first half and the plays he pulled out of his ass were crucial towards gaining the early lead. Jay Feely was giddy with laughter in the broadcast while watching Allen. Bills fans across the nation were laughing with him. What if the Bills pull off the upset over the Pats? It’s not a far-out fantasy this year. The Colts have bounced back from a week one overtime loss with two solid wins. People say QB Jacoby Brissett is overrated. However, I don’t see anyone praising him as a great QB, so I don't think the calling him "overrated" makes sense. He just runs their offense really well and makes smart throws. He’s great at manipulating the defense with little pump fakes and false looks. The Colts are still AFC contenders with Brissett at the helm and they have a great coach in Frank Reich. Marlon Mack, the OLine, and the WRs have been impressive. It’ll be interesting to see if the Browns and Jaguars can get it together and push for AFC contention. The Browns have a really tough slate over the next 4 weeks (Ravens, 49ers, Seahawks, Pats). I don’t have much confidence in them to bounce back from this slow start. The Jags have the Broncos, Panthers, Saints, Bengals, and Jets before facing the Texans, so the schedule looks better for them. Can they ride the Minshew wave for a string of wins? Some may think I’m overlooking the Chargers, but I don’t have much faith in them. Rivers seems to get worse as the game goes on. Similarly, I think the Titans are “pretenders” and just don’t look good. Funniest moment of the week: Brady yelling at the refs for calling intentional grounding. The refs were 100% correct. The Pats were up 23-0. Shaddap! Yaw a frickin’ tool, Tom! That’s all. Thanks for reading.

Snoop Dogg next week... Someone else had to come perform tonight and we all know it wasn't the Redskins.

Yeah, Brown with the nice jab below the face mask. Not sure if he hit the throat or the jaw. Same guy got hurt when Knox slammed him to the ground. Knox might've hit him in the jaw there too.

Philly is a ***** city... Just had to put that out there... ?

That is amazing That look

Nah...the Titans suck. Flukey week 1 game against a distracted Browns team.

Yeah I know....momentum....it was theirs.... and the Bills' offense in between those drives? Josh put them in a hole and had to get them out again.

These have been a big deal to me. 3rd down doesn't seem like a long shot anymore. Like today's 3rd and 17 completion to Brown. I just feel confident that the offense will make a play in those situations.

They will eventually move Oliver all around the line, right? Like on some downs: Hughes, Star, Phillips, Oliver.

Agreed. Not a great game, but he made other throws that needed to be made and he found a way to win. He helped dig them out of the hole he put them in.

I did my 1/12th
