Historically, being a Bills fan, for most, has brought on serious psychological conditions that require medical attention.

This is what you want to focus on before the Steelers game? LOL. Unreal

Hes also the guy that has Robinson and decides to pound the rock with Allgeier. Hes BRUTAL. The smartest guy in the room kinda guy.

Miami. I’m done watching KC and hearing how great Kermit is. I want a WC exit for those almost dynasty wannabes. They aren’t the Brady Pats as much as they wish and claim they are.

He’s coming on. Made some plays late last year. Making plays again late this year.

No way.

McD defense has been light years better than Frazier’s. What a difference. And we have been plagued by injuries all year on that side of the ball.

Where are all the negative posters at? Fire McD! Fire Beane! Trade Allen! 😂🤣😂😂😂

I just wanna say I love all you clowns. GO BILLS!!!! Bills 37 Fins 17

At least the Titans came to play!!!

I said in part not solely because. The division you’re in plays a huge factor in deciding #1 seed.

But that’s the thing, under the current system every team does not have to go through the same system to get to the Super Bowl. As an example, we could look at the division that draws the NFC South vs a team in a division that draws the AFC East. Imagine you are the Chargers and next year you drew all AFC East teams vs being the Texans who draw all NFC South teams. Who would you rather play an additional 4 games? It’s not the same system - it’s not even close. And that’s not even addressing the remaining fact that some teams play in crappy divisions vs teams that play in stacked divisions. Playing under the same system, as you say, would eliminate the current divisional format and have 2 conferences where everyone plays each other 1x. No schedule bias, no luck of drawing a crappy division to play that season, and certainly no more 8-7-1 teams hosting a playoff game while a 10-6 team stays home. This is not a novel idea. Because I didn’t post it years ago doesn’t remove merit from the idea now.

That would still leave open the very likely possibility that a team with a better record misses the playoffs. As long as the division winner automatically makes the playoffs, that possibility will always remain. In 2022 - the 8-9 Bucs made the playoffs and hosted a playoff game. The 9-8 Lions didn’t make the playoffs. In 2020 - the 7-9 Football Team made the playoffs and hosted a home game. The 8-8 Cardinals missed the playoffs. In 2019 - the 11-5 Seahawks missed the playoffs yet the 10-6 Vikings made it and the 9-7 Eagles hosted a playoff game! This is a perfect example of why divisions need to go. In 2015 - the 10-6 Jets missed the playoffs. The 9-7 Texans hosted a playoff game. In 2014 - the 7-8-1 Panthers hosted a playoff game, the 8-8 Niners and 10-6 Eagles missed the playoffs lol. Another perfect example. I can continue. It doesn’t happen every single season, but it happens a lot. And it will continue happening as long as we keep this division format.

I mean that’s always the case to a certain extent. If that was completely true though, Mahomes and Allen would be making Tank Dells and Nico Collins of all their receivers. I’m still waiting for Shakir to turn into Dell. Give more credit where credit is due. Prior to getting injured, Dell was a monster.

My thoughts exactly buddy.

Posters on here saying Houston WR are horrific is cringeworthy. Tank Dell and Nico Collins are possibly the best WR combo in the league. Top 3 for sure.

That was my fault. My 4yr old is a terror tonight and it’s hard to put a coherent thought on paper. I agree with this. Look at Chiefs/Bills/Bengals last few years. And of course the rivalries will keep changing over time a bit. I see nothing wrong with that. Also, we would still play the pats/fins/jets every year.

Edited. Thanks.

I mean Minshew is a great story but the Texans defense is not stout.

Imagine if they still had Tank Dell??? You could make argument they are most dangerous team if they still had him.

Man CJ Stroud is fun to watch. Another great QB in the AFC.🥴

I was 5 so yeh I wasn’t complaining. This isn’t meant to complain about the Bills - it’s a topic about the NFL in general. This is 100% a “it’s week 18 and the playoffs start next week” post. How many times do I have to say this is NOT about the Bills specifically.

I’m not advocating for preferential treatment. Eliminating divisions would actually do the opposite - it would automatically create equity across the entire conference bc all teams would play the same schedule for 15/17 games.

11/17 games are played against teams outside the division. So continuing to reward teams who play in crappy divisions and punishing those who play in competitive divisions seems inequitable at best. Giving so much weight to division winners when 11/17 games are played outside the division seems a bit counterintuitive.

Let me clarify or edit my original post once and for all. Almost every year we see teams with a worse record, host a home playoff game, over a team with a better record only bc they won their division. At times, teams with worse records also make the playoffs over teams with better records.
