AFC has no clear cut GREAT Team.

[PatsFanNH]

The AFC this year looks like a mess:

 

Ravens — Good team but not so good against decent teams with a good Defense.

 

Chiefs — They look tired this year. I expect this be a 1 year hiccup and they retool the WR next year.

 

Dolphins — Have they even beaten a team with a winning record yet? 
 

Jags — A Young Team prone to dumb mistakes 

 

Texans - I can’t believe they are in the playoffs. another Young team that will be getting scary once Stroud has experience.

 

Steelers — A scary D, an almost Patriots bad O.

 

So if the Bills get hit, I don’t see a team they can’t beat in the playoffs till the SB and they gave the Eagles fits.

Which makes this year so sad. Of course the Bills can turn it all around.

Can't forget the pats!  Holding the Chargers to only 6 point was pretty impressive.

Or that equally exciting 13-8 win by the Falcons over the Jets.

[cDAVIS]

I still can't believe we lost to the pats broncos and jets the way we did. Makes me sick. Can't imagine how 17 feels.

[TheFunPolice]

I get how it sounds to say it, but the Bills are the best team in the AFC, no matter what the records say. 

 

We're 11 guys on the field vs the Broncos from being 7-5 and in play for the 1 seed still, despite everything else. That said, we wouldn't have Brady at OC, so it was a necessary step back to get where we need to go.

Here's a follow-up question, which of the contending teams have better receivers than we do?  

 

We have the best QB apart from KC, whose WRs blow.

It's gonna take 9 straight wins.

 

When's the last time that happened?

Can always dream!!!!  And I think Allen is the equal of Mahomes (save McD).

That'd be funny, if we didn't lose to the Pats earlier this season.

As bad as the Jets and Broncos losses were, that Pats loss is just beyond shameful. 

 

Allowing Mac Jones to have a 126 passer rating and lead a game-winning drive... That team been shut out twice this season. TWICE! And struggled to score more than six points several times more.

Indeed, and as usual, were left to our dreams of what could have been.

 

I'm still PO'd that we're not 10-2 and in the lead for the 1st Seed and homefield.  

 

I mean the skids were greased for that one.

 

They're different.  Mahomes has a better short soft touch, Allen has a stronger arm.  

 

Either on KC would be in the same place.

We did 8 straight last year I think.

What if I told you ...

 

In the year that the Chiefs look worse than ever, Joe Burrow gets injured, Aaron Rodgers gets injured, and the Patriots are a joke...

 

The Bills respond by going 6-6 and standing in 10th place in the AFC, currently outpaced by the Browns, Steelers, and Colts, all of which are using backup QBs.

I think people are underrating Miami because they “haven’t beaten a winning team”. True, but they’ve pounded several teams on their schedule in games they are supposed to win. And most other teams are losing multiple games like that. I think barring injury, Miami might be a decent bet to win the AFC, especially considering no Burrow and possibly no Allen to contend with.  I think Miami would win a rematch with KC.  Baltimore and Jax are good but certainly not great.

You're not including your precious Pats after that stellar performance yesterday?

In a board full of ridiculous posts, this might be the most insane. We've lost 3 of our last 4, 4 of our last 6 and 5 of our last 8. By no measure are we even a "good" team, let alone "the best team in the AFC". You'd have to make a strong argument to fight for us being an average team right now despite our record.

[Captain Hindsight]

This is why I haven’t really given up yet. The last two games, the offense looks like what we expected with JA. With him I think every game is winnable. I would not want to play the Bills in the playoffs if they get in. 
 

if they finish the season 6-1 with wins over the Chiefs, Cowboys and Dolphins included in there, they would be red hot going into the playoffs. Hopefully McD figured out how to coach this week and they go on a run

the team will make the argument when they convincingly beat KC then Dallas then the chargers then NE then Miami 

 

Chiefs have lost 3 out of their last 5 and are about to lost 4 out of their last 6 WHEN we beat them this week
