Bills mafia is the most fun fanbase in football and if you've haven't tailgated at Highmark you are missing out. By far the loudest (and drunkest) crowd I've ever been in - so loud the opponents can't hear each other. But a major part of being a Bills fan is expecting the absolute worst (e.g. 13 secs to a guaranteed win if they squibed the kick off, or 'wide right'). I was at the game on Thurs and it was a hell of a lot of fun.

It's WAY too early to start calling them SB contenders, lots of questions remain: is Bass solid? Will the O line hold against better pass rushes? Can Cook keep producing when DCs start prioritizing containing him? Will a nearly all new lineup of receivers mesh with Josh when it counts most? Will Von maintain this level of play? When Milano comes back will he be as good? Can our D contain top level passing games? I still see this year as a rebuilding year - too much dead cap hit and injured players. With a healthy D and better O line the team can go far, but this year I'd be happy with a divisional championship. Josh deserves a championship.

The Giants and the Jets are so pathetic, and have been for a while now that I'm just glad to have another team in the state that plays good football.

Go Bills!

We'll get an idea of how bad the Giants are when they play Washington today.

Teams have windows where all the pieces are in place. That window for the Bills is closing

Head injuries, age, cap $ ...all take a toll

A QB who runs is a ticking time bomb. Allen challenges too many defensive players in the flat. Doesn't end well

That said, i like the bills, but mahomes and Taylor's boy toy have their number

Wide right, I couldn’t believe they missed that field goal to effectively lose the playoff last year. That was a wild game.

you just have to laugh. And then you see how Chiefs won their game just an hour ago. Bungles should have had that.

Yes they should have. Chiefs made 3 turnovers and somehow came away with it. I'll take it, but they didn't deserve it

A bunch of questionable calls that game in the Chief's favor, esp that last PI call. As is tradition.

calls go both ways. if Chiefs had lost their fans would be saying the same thing.

OMG. Are you serious? Do you even watch the games or just read twitter?

You mean the pass interference call where Chase pulled McDuffie down?

The PI call was most definitely a foul. The Bengals are probably pretty upset they missed the point after attempt earlier in the game.

Ugly, but a win is a win.

4th and 16, receiver had no chance on the play; only the chiefs get that call. Refs handed them the game. far worse contact gets ignored regularly and to make that call on 4th down it has to be esp egregious.
