So yes and no. Yes at this point the trade in 2017 paid off and was worth it. Neither side has buyers remorse in any way and if your a Bills fan it pay major dividends. No in the sense that until Josh leads this team to a SB and wins it his comparison with Mahomes will always being weighed slightly down by that. Mahomes has a ring, has been to two titles, and probably goes to a 3rd in 2018 if the OT rules/his defense both don't suck. Fair or not Josh nationally won't be completely equal until he gets the ring. Growing up Brady v Manning until Peyton got his ring it did feel like he was discounted however slightly despite Brady's advantages with team and coach. Allen winning a ring for Buffalo is equal his weight in gold.

lol non Bills related in 2007 the Pats were hosting the Steelers and Steelers CB Anthony Smith Guaranteed a Steelers win. Well Anthony "The Pats Are Going Down" Smith really outdid himself as the Pats burned him for like two TDs and Brady told him to f-off after one as they blew out PIT. I personally always hated Smith and I had to give it to Tom that they legit went after him and torched the crap out of the dude.

Good points. I would say the NFC South is probably the most interesting on if a big move happens. I have wondered if a team like Carolina grabs a guy like Jimmy G to at least make the playoffs. Tepper is absolutely feeling it and wanting to have some success.

They are going to lose some FAs but yea if TB can get a QB I can see them being a favorite. Like I said its kinda cool because there really isn't a sure thing.

I was thinking about how the AFC is loaded with young QBs and each division has a favorite or two. Then I looked at the NFC and while the West is loaded and the East has Dallas, with Rodgers most likely leaving GB and Brady gone the NFC North and NFC South are about as wide open as they have been in a very long time. The NFC North especially is wild to think that basically 30 years GB ran that division and now I think you could say it really is anyone's game. In the NFC South ATL may be the favorite next year only because they have an actual competent QB compared to the rest of the division. Personally I think it is pretty cool and for the Bills next year the NFC North is a real opportunity to stack some wins.

Every touchdown the fans could scream a new commandment

K.C Chefs lol

Affirmative commander

I prefer to yell at clouds

This is one of dumbest most pointless threads in some time. Lock it up mods

I really enjoyed what he had to say and you could see they were so terrified of getting burned on D by Hill that it allowed KC far more opportunity then they ever should've had

Yikes this prediction was one of death for Reid lol talk about counting your chickens before they hatched

Agreed. I think the big difference for many of these young QBs on why they may all at least get their shot is the way the league has swung to being so QB driven. If you have a QB you have someone for 10-15 years who will almost guarantee a post season birth and anything is possible. Plus the league added another wild card too. If you look at this last generation of great QBs only two come to mind that didn't at least make the game and that is Stafford who is on the door and Rivers who I personally believe got screwed over by his own team. Other then that Brady, Big Ben, Matt Ryan, The Mannings, Wilson, Rodgers, & Brees all have gotten at least one moment in the dance. Conversely guys like Fouts, Kosar, Marino all never got a ring or only Marino got a chance in there.

Agreed. I think a reasonable person would say Allen and the Bills will break through at some point to get to the SB. With that said sports is littered with superstars who had one shot and never got another so caution is something that makes sense.

I would say 1 or 2 seed so at least they have the first two rounds at home. Otherwise I def agree the mentality could hurt there

The NFL actually tends to avoid those type of marquee openers as opening night typically gets huge ratings anyway. Why waste a Rams Bills or Chiefs Bills game that you could use week 10 and boost those ratings. My guess is the SB opener will probably be some in division matchup and if Rodgers really does go to DEN then DEN KC or KC LAC or Rams SF I mean the NFC north is gonna be out Rodgers sooo those QBs all are not anything special, AFC North has Burrow/Lamar but PIT/CLE do not have QBs that inspire fear, Jets and Phins are nothing special at QB. To me this year is easier on paper QB wise then the prior two.

Exactly! Can't get an even more devastating loss if your not in the game #thinkingahead

I think people are overstating the fact it was a slam dunk win AFC crown and SB. I think it was a tremendous opportunity that was wasted as the best team left in my eyes was KC and whoever won should be the SB favorite. But with that said the Rams are a very very good team that has been to a SB recently with a great coach, ditto the 49ers who are weaker at QB but otherwise similar to Rams so the SB would've been a very hard game even if you like Buffalo. Cincy had a tough task but they have a superb QB and offense that easily could make a game of it with an opportunistic defense that has a good pass rush. SO yea its hard to watch because it should've been us and the opportunity was there. But it was not the slam dunk as many seem to keep saying. The Bills 100% should've won SB25 and prior to the game they were heavy favorites. Well we lost and it happens a ton that the better team falls so I do not say anything is a certainty until it happens.

get ready for the upcoming threads that 22 is 1990 all over again!

I think there is a dangerous line of thinking SB was ours no doubt vs it was a really great opportunity. I do not disagree that the Bills blew a tremendous opportunity, but I won't go as far as saying we absolutely unequivocally would've won it all. As the Bills in SB25 showed just because you should win does not mean you do.

Agreed. I feel like everyone wants parallels good or bad but in truth many times the path is unique in its own right.

Bills went 5-1 last year in one score games with the sole loss being a fluke hail mary. In general teams records historically revert if they have a strong year in one score games as luck and uncontrollable factors do happen. Most coaches are .500 long term in one score games as it really is unpredictable. I do not necessarily disagree that there is more to be desired, but one score game W/L is like turnover and swing wildly year to year.

Do what is right for you. Some years my wife and I have done a bunch others we just sat by ourselves for the game. With how yesterday finished and my feeling the winner probably takes the crown I don't have the heart to watch the rest of the playoffs knowing it should've been us. If we turn on the SB it is going to be more for halftime then anything.

More cap space wise I'd rather use that for other players. Give me KC at home in the playoffs over being there every time.

I actually hope Mahomes gets another title I have no qualms with him he is awesome. Also in strange way I feel better knowing we lost to the champs so don't F it up lol
