Did the Bills put the rest of the NFL on notice

that they are a legit contender this year.

12 wins and an AFCCG birth last year, but this team might be better suited to go all the way. They had a rough patch in the middle of the year, but they are getting hot when it matters.

They have a suffocating pass defense. 12 TD's all to 19 INT's with a ypa of 5.7. And they havent missed a beat without White.

Allen has been up and down a little this season, but still a very strong year. If last nights historical performance starts a hot streak for him, this is going to be a very difficult team to take down. A possible AFCCG rematch next week with KC is definitely must see TV

Yea, if they play in ice cold weather at home.

Peak Josh Allen is a load. At this point in his career, he doesn't play peak all the time....

Remember the 1996 season, when we destroyed the Vikings 40-15 in the WC round after something of a down season? Then we went to Carolina and they beat us handily. Don't overreact to one game. The Bills are very serious contenders and have been all season, so in that sense they've put the league on notice all season. But yesterday was just one piece of that.

I think right now they have the right kind of team too go all the way. I think they have a really shot at beating KC next week, and they match up well with the NFC contenders. Their run D is only so-so, and Foreman and Hilliard have picked up the slack for Henry, so the Titans arent a great matchup for them. But I do they are a better overall team now then Tennessee

Yeah, I agree. The Bills or Chiefs are the best teams in the AFC, and I think they're better (not a lot better, but better) than the NFC teams. But all these upcoming games are 55-45 or 60-40 propositions, not 10-point underdog type games. Anything can happen this postseason.

Uh, yes.

Ya. No obvious favorite. GB is probably the best, but they have cracks. I also wouldn't bet on Rodgers VS. Brady in a big game

Yep, the Vikes gave the ball up early in the game and it was all down hill form there. Just like last night.

They had a perfect game. No punts, interceptions, fumbles, or anything but TD until kneel down. Incredible

The Bills are like the Cowboys. They can blow out the best team in the league one week, then next game get blown out by the worst team in the league.

Just like the Cowboys but with a good QB

Allen has a cannon for an arm. Kinda hope we can draft one with a cannon.

I would like their chances better if the were play in Buffalo next weekend.
Chiefs have a good home field advantage

Latest word is that Henry will practice. So he might be a go for the game.

I'd love to see the Bills be the first team to lose their first 5 super bowl appearances.

Jake · Jan 22, 2022

The Bills were 7-6. Since then they've beaten Carolina, the Jets, Atlanta, and New England (twice). Four of those five wins were at home.

Let's see how they do in Kansas City tomorrow.

Did the Bills put the rest of the NFL on notice
