Mentions the Chiefs several times, so figured you guys would want to see it.
The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs
Forget the Ravens. Forget the Bucs. The team you don't want to play in January is the Buffalo Bills.
With all due respect to the Packers, the AFC's No. 2 overall seed may very well be the second-best team in the NFL.
The Bills crushed the Dolphins 56-26 in a game Miami needed for their playoff hopes. And maybe we didn't see a 30-point win coming, but it's in line with what the Bills have been doing to teams in recent weeks.
Buffalo has had a top-five scoring defense since Week 12. If not for the Hail Murray they would have finished on a 10-game win streak dating back to before Halloween.
And then there's Josh Allen. The third-year franchise quarterback has, in consecutive weeks, set the Bills single-season records for passing touchdowns and passing yards.
What I love most about the Bills is that they aren't even letting teams hang around. Since that Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, not a single team has finished within a possession of the Bills.
I go back to that Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Sean McDermott picked his poison and let the Chiefs' run game beat them up so that Patrick Mahomes wouldn't. Kansas City rushed for 245 yards and Mahomes passed for 225 yards.
But with about 5 minutes left in the game and down 23-17, the Bills forced a Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble that would have given the Bills the ball at the Kansas City 31.
They would have had a chance to take the lead against the Chiefs there. But instead, the replay showed Edwards-Helaire's knee was down just before the ball came out. Mahomes took the Chiefs down for the field goal and that provided the final margin of victory.
Allen is a better quarterback today than he was then. The defense is playing far better ball. And after sweeping the Patriots and beating the likes of the Seahawks and Steelers, the Bills now know how to win big games.
Must have short term memory loss cause chiefs went to Buffalo and had no trouble beating them. And that was with mahomes throwing for only 225 and they run at will. Buffalo has been spanking some teams lately but none of them are the KC Chiefs ( defending SB champs). Buffalo may scare some teams but it damn sure ain’t the chiefs. [Reply]

It was the Super Bowl of that era.
The NFL which had the other half of the professional football teams disagrees with your statement. That's like winning the AFC and calling yourself SB Champs according to you. [Reply]

Chiefs have been #1 or #2 in offensive DVOA all year.

Just little things like mentioning him kinda sarcastically and off handedly a few times. One was a passing challenge or something. But mostly, it's a competitive thing. Pat hears what we hear about the guy and he won't have it. [Reply]
now there is a time limit where past games do matter?
Just for my clarification:
-games that happened 2-3 days ago matter
-games that happened 3 weeks ago matter
-games that happened 7 weeks ago doesn't matter
-winning 14 out of 16 games in a season do not matter?
-going 29-6 over the past two seasons with the same core doesn't matter?
Just trying to keep my ducks in a row....I'm not as sharp as "Einstein" here.... [Reply]

The Bills certainly could could beat us. They are by far the best opponent to do it against us in the AFC. The thing is I don’t think there are many situations for that to happen.
Your guys pass rush is very average as that’s not a good thing against us. We have the coaching advantage. Allen has been quite good this year but when we played him, we made him struggle enough to not be able to keep up.
You guys aren’t there yet. This offense scores 24 points in their sleep. When they’re on, they can put up 40 with ease.
I don’t think you guys are gonna be able to go blow-for-blow with us an entire game. [Reply]

I think there's some type of complicated mathematical equation involved [Reply]
