Expand Several of us thought the Miami hype was b.s. before the season started. Their defense got worse. Yes, losing their QB hurt, but they still aren't the best team in the division. 1 Quote

Geno can be up and down, but great offensive talent in Walker, Metcalf, Lockett & JSN. Expand Agreed. Seattle i a tough place to play as a visitor and the first of 2 long west coast trips. 1 Quote

They beat the Ravens and we got crushed by the Ravens. Plus, the Chiefs, most likely, will be 9-0 coming here. Expand Doesn't that negate Baltimore's head to head tiebreaker if the bills beat the chiefs and all three are tied, at least to determine the winner of the three way tie breaker? Quote

Expand Depends on which Seahawks team shows up. They are 4-3. They looked great yesterday but also lost at home to the Giants a few weeks ago. If the Bills can avoid another slow start, then they should win as they are the better team. 1 Quote

Well done to go back 12 years because I'm in your head so much! Expand I don't really mind optimism. It was just to demonstrate that its kinda expected for AFCE teams/fans to think their time is now when the dominant team appears on the surface to take a step back in the offseason. We did it for years. I'm sure the Chargers fans thought this was their year to make a run when the Chiefs lost Brown and Rice and Sneed. Spoilers..... it wasn't lol On 10/21/2024 at 1:54 PM, NewEra said: Ok Your nitpicking on Eball’s positive thread is just so silly and trivial- period Expand It's a message board.

hondo in seattle Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 The encouraging things are the offense just got Cooper and the defense is getting healthier. But I'm still not sure how good this team is. Brady to me is maddening. Some days, he seems like a good-not-great OC. Other days he seems in over his head. 1 2 Quote

They probably won't but if does that will be great. Expand They will unravel if that happens. It is not quite 3.5 since the dolphins have a game in hand. 1 Quote

Not everything on a message board is silly and hypercritical. situation: guy on a message board is happy because his team is good. Other guy states he’s wrong and posts about something that has nothing to do with whether or not the team is good. just an example of pissing in someone’s cereal.

Expand Never in the history of football have transitive properties (comparing scores across games) been accurate at predicting future game outcomes. You also forgot to mention that the Chiefs lost their best WR and the Bills acquired Cooper. Quote

wppete Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Von Miller coming back at the right time. Tested, healthy and hopefully ready to so some damage. If Milano makes it back for the playoffs fully healthy then we get a huge boost on defense. 1 Quote
ColoradoBills Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Bills play the Seahawks next. That is all that matters. Then see what the rest of the AFCE does, one week at a time. 1 Quote

DapperCam Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure it's a 2.5 game lead. Still a huge lead for this early in the season. Quote
Sharky7337 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Miami had the division lead around the same time last year no? Quote
