Success

We say that part about the QB's now - but then the combine happens, and the hype starts gaining volume, and before you know it, some QB-needy team will make that trade. You're not wrong, but I'm curious to see how it plays out this year.

It will be a tough match-up - but this is classic recency bias from the media. While the Bills mailed it in yesterday, KC legit didn't show up at all. Nix looked fantastic and the offense looked unstoppable. I think they only way Buffalo loses at home is by losing the turnover battle. We're a better team, with a much better QB.

It was a weird day w/ mostly backups - but Carter really stood out to me yesterday. Seemed like he was all over the field & in on a lot of plays. I hope he gets some playing time in the postseason.

Pats fans are extremely bitter about this one today. It's a big deal, and I'm glad it seemed like we were aware of it. Even in a down QB year, they might have gotten some team to bite on a big trade-up deal.

I'm glad it's the Broncos. Even though we have dominated the Dolphins, division games can still be weird.

Darnold is pretty off. Overthrowing quite a bit tonight.

Pats fans online are hilarious. I've seen at least half a dozen sentiments that are furious that they didn't throw the game on purpose, but that we're losers & it's bad karma that we didn't play our best & get the win. Such a delusional group.

Like everyone else - I really hated the Brady-era Pats. But man, when I think about what they did. Like, how? It is so hard for everything to line up - health, luck, talent, et al. - to make that improbable run. And they just kept doing it.

Patriots - 19 Bills - 16 Pats get a last-second FG to drop in the draft order, resulting in one of the most inscrutable victory crowd reactions of all time.

I'm truly just excited that the playoffs are here, and we're one of the faves. After the drought, you can pinch me on that alone.

I can't remember ever seeing Patriots fans want to lose a game so much. There is absolutely a consensus opinion in New England that a win on Sunday would be disastrous for their future.

I'd be worried about Chiefs fans if they beat us again & then go on to 3-peat. They're already at levels of arrogance so cartoonish that they make Brady-era Patriots fans look like the model of humility. We need to win just to keep our friends in KC from slipping further from reality.

We can joke about the Pats today. But older fans remember the Hershel Walker trade that loaded those Cowboys teams of '90s up. I'm hoping the Bills lose this one, personally. Maybe a loser thing to say, but I'd rather not see a division opponent get the kind of return that they'd likely get trading the #1 pick.

Not gonna be sad if we lose this one - 1st time I've felt that way. I'd prefer the Pats didn't have the #1 pick.

It's not the kind of lights-out defense you want for a title run - but they're better than the Lions, Rams & Pats games. I have confidence. We have a lot of talent on that side of the ball.

That's why I don't love this. This game means nothing - I'd love to see all of the top guys have a week off. But they'll all have to play as long as Allen does. Hopefully just a few handoffs to get the start.

I would too - but I'm torn between that and how it might feel to see a division rival with a promising young QB make a blockbuster trade on draft day for a potentially franchise-changing boatload of picks.

Am I missing something? When did MVP become a "strictly stats" award? There are multiple factors. And the stats aren't lopsided. Like, 2 more TD's and 2 fewer INT's? That's supposed to convince me?

I'd go Denver, then Cincy, then Miami. Even though we have dominated the Phins in recent years, they have played us pretty tough at times, and division games are weird.

Gotta say - Ravens fans online are pathetic. If Allen had 2 already - and he didn't really show up in the playoffs - I'd be totally happy in that regard, and would just want a SB title. The fans I see online are so invested, and 100% about the stats.

Voters can't decide that it's only the stats NOW.

Pats don't look like much now - but Maye looks like he could be good, and a Herschel Walker kind of trade might vault them into contention. You don't TRY to lose - but losing next week would be better long term. Imo.

I saw Ravens fans talking online about how the fact that Jackson already has 2 shouldn't matter. Please. It absolutely should when the stats are close like they are. The MVP is an award that should encompass a variety of factors - stats, record, seeding, previous awards, and most importantly - how valuable you are to your team. Jackson has a better team around him, and that's really not disputable.

They should give him the week off. Treat it like their bye week - there is an advantage mentally to not having to prepare for a game at all.

Daboll doesn't care. He just wants to win. Their fans must be livid.
