Probably Cleveland after the season. Haslam doesn't like stability, he's the AFC 's Jerry Jones.

Doesn't matter really. I look at it this way- we all thought having KC at home in the playoffs would turn things in our favor last season. It didn't. So the Bills are going to (most likely) have to beat a combo of KC, Houston, Ratbirds, Steelers and potentially some unknown out of Denver, Indy, LA Chargers in the playoffs. Yes, securing at least one home game is vital, but in the end, it's all about how they play on that particular day. That's how I see it. The Bills are certainly good enough to beat those above teams, but they've taught us they also aren't. Scoring 10 points against an anemic Baltimore defense still irritates me. Call me confused lol.

He was outstanding in Cleveland, made a lot of big plays, especially last season. Once the Browns pursued Aiyuk, it pissed him off, and Watson simply stinks.

Yep, sure hope so. Kyle Shanahan seems like such an arrogant prick.

Fixed it.

Look what he did last season. Browns had to use 5 QBs, were down to 3rd string offensive tackles, lost Nick Chubb, and they went 11-6 with Cooper playing a major role. Cooper's a stud. IMHO, he pouted a bit this year because he has no chemistry with Watson. Actually, nobody has chemistry with Watson, he's a cancer.

Freaking Cleveland was pretty damn good until they got Watson. Cooper was a stud last season. From the outside looking in, the Browns have quit on Watson, because he sucks. Will Cooper drop some passes in Buffalo? Probably, but not the amount he did in the 1st 6 games in CLE.

Yeah, right now it's odd that the AFC has slid back a bit, it doesn't look like there's 7 playoff-caliber teams in the whole conference.

Bills 9 Ratbirds 7

The 49ers are #3. This list is therefore invalid. Sent three #1 picks to move up and draft Trey Lance.

Always were. Thug franchise.

The ole adage ...one game at a time. The Ratbirds figured stuff out in Dallas. While IMHO I think they're the most annoying team in the NFL, they are generally solid. Their D isn't elite anymore, but they will make timely plays. If the Bills are behind entering the 4th Q, don't give up hope, as the Rats are vulnerable even with a lead. The key is to play Lamar like Pitt & Cle do. Don't let him outside the box. There's a reason why Lamar is 22-1 vs the NFC in his career....they don't see him enough. The Bills are rarely out of any game, so I have this one as a difficult W.

Nothing wrong with being the #2 or #3 best QB, heck even a top 10 one. Mahomes proved last year he was still the best. His WR group was subpar, & he still got it done. Remember, not only in this forum, but the national narrative was " he has all the weapons, who couldn't win with that?"

Well, one could argue they've had that since Art Modell bought the team in 1962. Modell ran Paul Brown out of town, schemed to get out of town, and also fired Belichick. Since their rebirth, it's possibly even worse (Lerner, Haslam).

Yep, plus add the fact that all the owners are upset about the contract. The NFL, Roger aren't going to act on this anytime soon. They will make idiot Haslam pay for it.

I only have a problem with 31 teams😆 Seriously though, The Jets, Miami, Pats, Steelers, Ratbirds are the teams I hate the most.

It was a dumb move by Goodell, allowing 2 teams in LA

I'm all for tradition (I'm 61 years old), so it makes sense that the Bills-NY Jets-Patriots shouldn't be split up, or the Raiders-KC-Chargers-Denver. Yes, the Fish & Bills rivalry is there, but the Fish should really be with Jax & Tampa Bay. The Atlanta-New Orleans rivalry is pretty intense, so keep that intact. So maybe throw Carolina or Houston with Miami-Jax-T Bay. Just a thought. Maybe they should create a "carpetbagger" division with the Rams-Ratbirds-Titans-Colts lol.

While I get that, here me out for a second. Cleveland gets moved to Baltimore. Cleveland rightfully gets their team back. Houston moves to Tennessee. Houston rightfully gets their team back. So Paul Tagliabue rewards these cities (franchises) by insulting their fan bases, so they each get stuck in the division with the franchises new city. A twice-a-year reminder for those teams' fans. Horrible. He was worse than Goodell.

It's bizarre that Baltimore is in the AFC North, when they should be in the AFC East. Put Miami in the AFC South, Ratbirds AFC East, Indy to AFC North. Don't get me started on Dallas lol.

Browns have some serious offensive line issues, but moved the ball at will in the 1st half on Jax. 2nd half, not so much (lots of penalties on Cle). The Browns D shut Jax down all day, with the exception of a 66 yard bomb. The Bills D & Browns D are similar. I just don't see Jax doing much on offense unless Lawrence makes plays with his legs.

That whole AFC South is blah to me. A Paul Tagliabue creation, a weird combination of geography.

Fair enough. I understand Dallas fatigue, but if your favorite team(s) are in the AFC, it's ok to root for the Cowboys vs the Ratbirds.

The Cowboys had won 16 straight regular season games at home until last week....

Well, Jerry Jones is bound to start arguing with you any minute about that😊
