The Chiefs will be favored when they come to Buffalo.

I respectfully disagree, I could see the Bills being a -2 or -3 unless there are important injuries.

The biggest thing to me is that our rookies are contributing Keon Coleman, Dewayne Carter and Ray Davis have played well. Getting Coop was highway robbery by us. This was suppose to be a mini rebuild year for us but I think this team can contend right now. 

Who said it was a mini rebuild ?

I wish the division was a little better.  There is no competition.  I think we need a little challenge, of which, there is none and doesn't seem like there will be any for the near future.  All three opponents have NO quarterback.  None.  Cakewalk to the AFCE title. 

Why? Having a cakewalk division sure worked out well for Tom Brady. It’s like pretty much having a guaranteed playoff spot locked up every year. I love it

And kansas city.  When is the last time anyone challenged them in the afc west? Getting a guaranteed home playoff game every year is huge.

Not to mention that the Bills didn't have a division lead last year until Week 18 and it took a punt return for a TD to win it.

  • eball changed the title to (edited)8 games in, 4.5-game division lead…

So here we are one week later and it just keeps getting better.  Every result in the AFC went our way yesterday except Houston and KC.  We’ve now overcome the loss to Baltimore and lead them by a game.  The division could be all but wrapped up in the next month.

 

Show no mercy to the Fish next week, Bills…sweep the leg!

Technically, we have a 1/2 game lead over Baltimore as they hold the H2H tie-breaker over us.

These three teams are BAD.. like REAL BAD. If the patriots beat the Jets next week, we could very well have a 6 game division lead heading Into the chiefs game *assuming we take care of business. The earliest an NFL division has ever been clinched was in week 11. I don't think that will happen, but all three teams will be underdogs in every game they play. And yes I understand it's unlikely they will all lose, but it's just wild to me how much of a runaway this divison is. Does anyone remember another time in Bills history where the divison was wrapped up so soon? At this point we are just vying for playoff positioning.  

 

New England:

Vs. NY Jets

@ Tennessee

@Chicago

 

Miami

Vs. Arizona

@Buffalo

@Los Angeles

 

New York

@New England

Vs. Houston

@Arizona

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm bumping this  because I really think we are going to have a 6 game division lead heading Into the chiefs game:

 

Bills - 8-2

Dolphins - 2-7

Jets - 2-8

Patriots - 2-8

 

Can anyone remember a more lopsided division in recent memory ?  Sure  the pats from the 00's and present day chiefs have dominated their divisons, but there's usually been at least another team hovering around .500.

I did a quick research back to the year 2000. Multiple teams had 6 game division leads at the end of the season,  one team had a 7 game lead, and the biggest ever division lead (not surprisingly) was by the 2007 new England patriots who finished 16-0. The bills were second at 7-9.
