Panthers # 22.  Bill # 2

A friend of mine works for the Bills so I watch a lot of their games to support him and the Bills are legit and Josh Allen is special.  It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they made it to the Super Bowl.

If they were able to make it to the AFCC game I think McDermott defense can contain KC and score enough points. 

Then I think it will be between GB or NO.

They could do it.

They may be peaking at the right time.  Good for them and your friend.  Can't imagine anyone would want to live in Buffalo with that weather.

Note to how they built the front office...picked their head coach who picked the GM. They seem to work well together.

Bills looked damned good last night, especially Allen.  They’re balling right now. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them win it all, and after losing 4 straight, I wouldn’t feel bad about it either

I'd be pretty surprised. That coaching staff and most of the players just don't have the playoff experience I think to get that far this year. My guess is they'll be a force for years to come and will be in that mix not too long from now but I can't see them getting by the Chiefs, Steelers or even the Ravens (especially if Lamar is balling out like he has been lately) in the playoffs. I know they beat the Steelers already but the playoffs are a different animal. Tomlin, Harbaugh and Reid will be huge advantages against McD.

Chiefs handled them pretty easily earlier in the season, and playoff Mahomes/Reid is a different animal than the Chiefs team that seemingly limped to 14 wins through 15 games... Until someone knocks them off I can't see anyone beating the Chiefs this year. But of course, any given Sunday.

I can't think of a team more in need of a Championship than the Bills. After that horrendous stretch of Super Bowl losses. Then enduring the Patriots dynasty? Ouch.

Maybe Cleveland.

But I'll gladly pull for the Panthers North in the Super Bowl.

 

But otherwise, that list is dildos. Don't see how you could have the 4-11 Falcons two spots ahead of the Panthers.

They played the Patriots...teams are looking mighty fine playing the Pats these days.

The Superbowl will be KC vs Green Bay or Seattle imo.  But I do think the Bills are set up to be good for the next few years.

The Panthers almost beat the Chiefs.  They are just barely getting by.  That will catch up with them.

We were just as close to beating the Packers and they just thoroughly dominated a legit contender in the Titans... I wouldn’t read much into those games.

With a healthy and rested Mahomes and company they’re going to be completely rejuvenated for the playoffs and ready to repeat. Not saying they can’t be beaten by any means, but they’ve gone 14-1, won the SB last year and have the best player in the world and arguably the best coach left in the playoffs. I would never bet against this team in this situation.

I’m rooting for Chiefs-Packers. Rodgers and Mahomes would be fun, classic old school SB rematch and arguably the 2 best regular season teams too. Instant classic.

I would prefer that the Packers and Rogers not make it to the Super Bowl.
