Trying to look at this realistically. The Bills will probably win the East every year for the foreseeable future, so at worst, they'll be in the same spot they were this year: at least one home playoff game. In the West, the Chiefs have to deal with the improving Chargers and plucky Raiders. And after they just set an NFL record by hosting their fourth consecutive AFC Championship Game, the law of averages suggests that's probably not going to happen for a fifth time in a row. In the South, I see a lot of meh. The Titans were flukes this year. In the North, those teams will continue beating each other up year after year. I don't think there's clear separation. The Bills' outlook for 2022 and probably beyond is very good. They really need to take advantage and actually get that 1 seed. If not, they'll still have at least one home playoff game and a chance to go on the road for the rest. With a top-2 QB, they'll have a shot every year for the foreseeable future.

As my brothers were celebrating and cheering victory with 13 seconds left, I simply said, "Music City Miracle. Hail Murray." This was probably the best example ever of how I try to prepare myself and others for disappointment until the clock shows 0:00. Several people texted me congratulating me on the win, and I replied with the same thing. I don't know, honestly, if it's better to ride the high and then crash like so many here do, or if it's better to expect heartbreak like I do. But last night was a microcosm of my experience as a fan.

A few Chiefs fans behaved similarly to me. It's an unbelievable lack of class and awareness. Just awful. ***** them, hard.

The only thing I can think is it might have something to do with OJ still being on the Wall.

What I really mean is I am extremely scared that we're going to look back at the end of Allen's Bills career, with no championships, and talk about 13 Seconds.

People speculating that McDermott did tell Bass to squib and somehow he didn't. The pain is just getting worse the longer it sits.

You don't overreact. This team should have had the 1 seed with more focus during the regular season. You were 13 seconds away from having it anyway. You fine tune and treat each game like a playoff game next year. Get the 1 seed. Try again. But yeah, I'm scared.

I haven't cried like this in a long, long time. I think this was the year. I think we blew it.

Not trying to derail the thread, but that's a tough debate to win with the cap situation.

The Bills have never had an opportunity like this in my memory. If they're not going to do it now, when exactly are they going to do it? When will the team be better? When will the stars align with the teams remaining? If not now, when? It's time to bring it home. Their preseason goal was to host the AFC Championship Game. Well, it's right in front of them now. They will pass or fail on their goal tonight.

Dude, that's going to be unwatchable! Get the international version of Game Pass and watch live on your laptop

That's why I only commented on the blue

This has to be bad karma, right?

Pure greed.

We are *****

I am considering changing my pick to the Chiefs, because how often has a team gone into the stadium of one of the best teams in the NFL and won twice in a year? If the Bills win, it would have to be almost unprecedented. Can they win at Arrowhead TWICE in one year?

Titans Packers Rams Bills

That's Titans blue. Doesn't look like Bills colors at all.

Muki Hawkins is an idiot who doesn't even know the difference between "your" and "you're" and yet somehow is a professional reporter. It doesn't surprise me that he confuses "17th game" with week 17. He's even more stupid for not realizing that the 17th game, if it even worked the way he thinks, would actually be week 18.

Oh yay, it's nice to see one of his tweets. He has me blocked.

Exorcise. We don't want the demons getting any exercise.

Kansas ***** Chiefs

He's capable of being the best player in the NFL, but in order to truly be called that, he has to show up consistently for all games like he shows up for the biggest games.
