Their division has been more competitive than the AFC East.

Only this year. Not in years’ past. It’s not even close. 
 

The raiders/broncos/chargers have been trash for years. The jets and dolphins have been either in the playoffs or hunt for playoffs (jets). Pats haven’t been a complete abomination until last 2 yrs.

Russell Wilson just played himself out of a contract for next year

3 teams will be heading to the playoffs from that division. It’s the toughest division in the AFC. 

Yep agreed . It's funny as a lot of people thought the AFC would be the toughest with the bills, jets and dolphins.

 

But it's a horrible division outside of the bills

I would disagree that it is good overall...with their respective remaining schedules this sets up for Ravens as the 3 seed...who plays at 2 if they win the wild card round...not looking forward to that.

I am taking  the attitude of all comers in the playoffs have to deal with US this season NO FEAR

 

It's a new mind set I'm willing to try  at least. 

 

I just don't like the Steelers. at all. ZERO

Gonna be really curious to see what his market is.

As QBs now either make like 50 plus mil, or under 10. No really middle ground

That’s what I mean. It’s going to be tough rest of way. The Chiefs aren’t going to be blocking FG’s or winning by 1-2pts every game every year. 

[BRH]

Three fumbles there for the taking and Pittsburgh doesn’t fall on a single one.

Same, I hate the Steelers...but hate the Ravens more lol. It's KC.......................Ravens......then probably Bengals, then Steelers (I feel like an AFC East team should be in here too but they've been pretty irrelevant for a couple years).

Tomlin is a really over rated coach.  Always has sick talent, with a few holes here and there, always makes really really dumb errors

I on't recall a team ever being a LUCKY as the chiefs have been this year. I think it's going to run out. Maybe that is my hope talking. *shrugs*

But he’s never had a losing season 😝

Nothing I saw today from Lamar said MVP. If anything it said Henry is the MVP and Lamar is the beneficiary of playing with him.

[stuvian]

Neither team looks like a threat for the conference. Both tried to give the game away

Funny as we thought that would be the case last year and it wasn't. This year things clicked. The Chiefs got home but not as easily as the record makes it appear.

They were very fortunate to win a couple of those games.

Just because there are other good players in the league that put up stats it isn’t an attack on the Bills. 

 

I know, I'm just posing a question. 

 

If I was offensive coordinator, I'd called the play that has that chance of a success everytime regardless of who got the stats. Josh is a cheat code on that play.

[stuvian]

Other than Henry that was mediocre football

The ravens can 100% go to the SB. Not sure how you can objectively say otherwise after watching this game. It’s a tough divisional matchup. Turnovers happen. 
 

Pitt on the other hand, I just don’t see Russell cookin for 3 straight road games. 

[Big Blitz]

It’s the Chiefs or us.

The Jets haven't made the playoffs in over a decade...the Bills have won the division the last 5 times..before that it was all Patriots. The Dolphins won the division once...  The AFCE has been week compared to the North

The only way to win a SB is by beating upper echelon teams. If we can't even get out of the divisional round again, we were never going to be SB contenders in the first place. 

 

I will say adding that 7th seed has watered the postseason down. For the most part, the 7th seed has been getting beat bad. 

 

It won't happen. But the league needs to go back to the 6 teams format. It was stupid to have only one team get the bye.
