Drew21PA Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Both KC and Miami are frauds buffalo is underperforming and sad id say Jacksonville and Baltimore I guess they are trending in the right direction? bengals - though I think we get our butts handed to us this weekend - are also iffy. Are they for real after the win over San Fran? Or is San Fran in a funk? up til them they haven’t beaten anyone worth anything but like I said I have a feeling that changes Sunday night when we get our worst regular season loss of the McDermott era im not thrilled with the bills the last month and where cinci is heading for us to match up well we are NOT TRUSTWORTHY Quote
zow2 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Orlovsky on ESPN this morning listed 5 teams in the AFC as in a class by themselves. Cinci, KC, Jax, Balt, Miami. They all agreed Buffalo is not in that class due to a banged up D and too Josh Allen dependent. That last line always cracks me up because I would argue that those other teams are VERY dependent on Burrow, Mahomes, Tua, Lamar and Lawrence. 1 Quote
90sBills Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Just going off how the media talks about contenders based on the latest weekly results… Overrated Bengals Miami Ravens Underrated KC SF Det This will be the theme in all the sport shows this week. Quote

We had a good laugh at KC’s loss yesterday but they’re still contenders imo. Winning division games are not easy as the Bills have shown. Denver was not going to lose to KC forever. They’re professionals too. KC will still be there at the end to contend this year. 2 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 The Chiefs ONCE AGAIN are able to sleep walk through the majority of their games It's sickening that they will likely get the 1 Seed AGAIN 1 Quote

dpberr Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I think Jacksonville and KC are legit because they have proven they can win ugly. The Ravens are always the champions of the "fall" season of the NFL. They live and die with Lamar Jackson's health, and he's never healthy come December. They will hobble into the playoffs as usual. The Bengals and Bills have the same problem - the offense is Burrow/Chase and Allen/Diggs, with lots of QB hero ball, and neither team has shown it can consistently move the ball if their dynamic duo is shut down. Miami is the most overrated - they cannot score on an above average defense, and in a game with bad weather, that offense is grounded like a fleet of WWII aircraft. Quote

Shortchaz Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Of the 6 AFC contenders I think the two teams out of the east are currently the weakest, mostly due to injuries. any of the 6 teams could win the AFC. The playoffs are going to be insane. 4 NFC contenders, I still see as a 2 horse race but clearly things have gone sideways in San Francisco. Dallas is a pretender and Detroit is too inconsistent.

I never said that the Bills are pre-destined to lose (or anything close to it), so I don't know where that's coming from. I simply stated a basic fact: the Bills struggled to beat bad teams (two of them very bad) in the last three games, two of which were at home. Quote
