1. From what i saw from these AFC teams yesterday the chiefs are still in good shape for another AFC title game appearance

2. Tampa Bay fans need to appreciate Baker Mayfield as their QB, because u can have one of these other 20 teams bad QBs as your starter

3. NFC West will come down to the last 2 weeks for a champion

4. Aaron Glenn unfortunately will only get another year and the Jets will move on same with fields at QB

I said last week to come at me if the Ravens were 2-4 or somehow 1-5 at the bye. Well, I’m here…I’ll eat that crow (don’t ask me how). There’s still time to get right, though. Post-bye schedule eases up significantly; hopefully the injury report does, too.

Eagles are kind of unpredictable, even with going into yesterday undefeated.

I was hoping Pete/Geno would help bring about a culture change in Vegas, but it’s just the SOR.

Baker keeps this up, he's in the MVP discussion.

Dude from the Cardinals is joining Callahan and McDaniel on that hot seat, especially if they flame out again after a good start.

Respect to the Patriots - seems like they’re a bit ahead of schedule. Surprised they got a SNF spot; they haven’t had that Cowboys level of intrigue/interest for years now. Guess the league/networks knew something.

Not to mention our defense allowed 0 points after the first quarter and kept Herbert on his ass. I think we got our groove back

Proven as contenders
I mean every playoff team can say that...Bills fall short all the time in the playoffs. Eagles and Chiefs prove they can make the SB multiple years. To put them in the same convo as Eagles and Chiefs is a stretch.

I mean hell, Niners have a better case as they played in multipe SBs the past 10-15 years. Bills are the Packers of the AFC

I think it's just about the fact that bills are perennial playoff contenders. They've been in the divisional round every year since 2020 season.

The definition of proven is subjective, but yes, they're not in the class of the Eagles or Chiefs.

The championship windows of many teams are closing

Gambling on these games this season feels like im throwing money away
There were a lot of ppl who had one leg left to go that were feeling real good about things going into the bills/pats game. Bills were at like -420. I hope the folks who bet on the Bills were offered the cash out option because I would've cashed that shít out at the half:pachaha:

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
7 and a half minutes to go

Your team which had only managed a FG through 3 quarters

Miraculously has a chance to tie it at 17

But no

Your coach is Sean Payton

So you go for 2

And…

:wow:

This is the Sean Payton experience. Gutsy, aggressive call that happened to favor the Broncos this time. Had they not converted they’d be down 16-17 and giving the Eagles the ball back with a chance to score and then force the Broncos to score a TD to win. Crazy gamble that could have backfired and had some calling for his job had it not worked out. But it did and now people are calling it a signature win. Game of inches.

Not sure what the lesson is but clearly Coach was willing to risk it all. I’m sure the Broncos will be in some tight ball games going forward and you have to wonder if he’ll be emboldened by how this one turned out to continue taking big risks to gain big rewards.
