    I could pick , and chose to do this with something from every team.
    For example: The Packers live , and die off of a heave, and a prayer passes, when it works is makes them look awesome, see Steelers, and the Lions, but when it doesn't they look stupid , see the Browns, and the Panthers game.
    Like I said we can find something, and do this with every single team.

    Why doesn't it translate to the playoffs for the Bills, Ravens, Packers, Lions, and every other team that hasn't seen the SB in forever???

    LoL why couldn't the Packers do it against the Panthers, and the Browns.
    I could make a long list of this same topic.
    Because it's the NFL, and there is a thin line in talent difference from team to team. Where one team may have a great this, another will have a great that. Why does Ravens, and Bills play so well during the regular season that they have current MVP Qbs, but they still get beat every single year in the playoffs????

    Actually this is wrong. It's our new school thinking that put it even close to worry about. If they kick the field goal instead of going for it, that last td doesn't even come into effect.

    It's like asking why did the Patriots win just about every time vs Steelers during the Roethlisberger era?

    Haven't we had to play Mahomes in the playoffs also, and not every single loss by the Bills, and Ravens have come against KC.

    Then stop acting like the Ravens, and the Bills are all that. If the Patriots made You think the Steelers weren't good enough. Then You should feel the exact same about the Bills, and Ravens. No???

    That's all true.... but the Steelers aren't as good as the Chiefs, Ravens AND Bills currently. Steelers were usually an elite team, except for '12-'13 rebuilding seasons, during Roethlisberger era.

    And if the Steelers beat the Bills and Ravens, are you still going to say they aren't as good as those two teams.

    This.

    These guys (Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow) only lose to each other in the playoffs. And they all lose to Mahomes.

    This is similar to the reason that we can't win a game in the playoffs.

    Those playoff games we're losing are to Jackson, Allen, and Mahomes (in reverse chronological order).

    You basically have to be good enough to compete for the AFCC in order to win one game in the AFC playoffs these days. Maybe this year is different with slow starts for KC and BAL? Even BUF isn't winning their division. Would be crazy if the WC teams are KC, BUF and BAL. My guess is that home team advantage won't matter too much in the WC round if that's the case.

    It's crazy we go from Brady to Mahomes in the AFC. That's over 20 years of dominance. Wow.

    The Bills have won 7 playoff games since we’ve won our last one. The Ravens and Packers 3 each, and the Lions 2.

    And I do know what your canned response is. Spare us the whole “playoff wins don’t matter” nonsense.

    I'm not, but pray tell me how many SBs that has gotten either of them ???
    I don't know why this is difficult.
    It matters nothing how many games in the regular season you win, as long as it's enough to make the playoffs, and the very same for the playoffs. It doesn't make a difference in how many playoff games you win if it doesn't take you to the SB. So spare me the nonsense that if you win a playoff game a year they add up , and make a SB appearance. We all know that's not how it works. If it did Bills, and Ravens would both have a SB appearance with their Qbs they have now.
    Do you know how many teams win a playoff game every year, and then don't even make it to the playoffs the next year??? Happens every year. So I'm so happy they have won a playoff game , or two a year, maybe they can put them all together and get a free coffee somewhere with that. LoL
    Example the last SB we won we hadn't won a playoff game in two years. They don't add up to SB appearance.

    I can't imagine the agony of being a Bills fan. They have been literally one play away from going to the Superbowl year after year. Think about our loss 30 years ago to the Chargers in the AFC title game and now think about it happening 5 years in a row, that's what the Bills fans suffer through.

    Let’s play a simple game. I’ll ask 2 easy questions and you give me simple, one sentence responses. My wife got both of these right, and she often asks me questions like “does a linebacker play offense or defense?”

    You’ve made the playoffs:
    1. What happens if you win your first playoff game?
    2. What happens if you lose your first playoff game?

    1. You move onto the next round.
    2. You go home the season is over.

    Damn it! Don’t give away the answers!

    Another way to frame #1 is, you earn your way one step closer to the ultimate prize.

    You win, or You lose.
    Now what happens if you don't win another that is so different if You didn't win your 1st??? Besides you draft later. That's why Your ......Bills have won 7 playoff games since we won our last is so funny to me. Too bad they couldn't do half of that in the same season, then, then we would have something to talk about.
    You know the Ravens, and the Bills could win a playoff game every single year for the next 20 years, and guess what.....they wouldn't get any closer to a SB.
