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.
Bitches, the road to the SB goes through arrowhead. Enjoy your fluff bullshit Bills fans. Congrats on finally being media darlings. But everyone knows who the real #1 is.
Bills are hype. The rest of the world treats the Chiefs like inevitability. We don't need the hype. [Reply]
Bills fans are having their first time in the spotlight in a few decades. They're too smitten to realize that this kind of shit is nothing more than fluff to make Chief's games more interesting. [Reply]

That's the thing, though.
How much different could they go? They sold out to stop the passing game and got absolutely steamrolled by the running game.
The only "different" option is to switch that up, which means they take their chances getting carved up by the best QB in the game.
Otherwise, their best hope is to not do anything "different" and hope like hell the Chiefs running game falters this time. [Reply]

Yes, we went through this last year with Baltimore. KC hasn't been the cool new story since 2018.
Last year there was a "blueprint" to stop KC and Baltimore was the scariest team in football.
Then we get to the Super Bowl and everyone picked the 49ers as the best, most complete team. They were going to be more physical, etc

Tyreek Hill played for Garden City Community College. Should we talk about that too?
Of course not. Players evolve.
How ridiculous.

That's not true at all.
In any way.
Craig Bohl (the coach) said that they were extremely limited because the line would give Josh practically no time.
He was being hit as he stepped back.
Do you just make things up for fun?

Kaepernick NEVER did what Allen has done this season.
Ever.
Kaep's BEST season ever was 3,700 yards and 25 TD's.
Allen has just shy of 5,000 total yards and 46 TD's.
Not even in the same ballpark.

Soon after Allen was knocked out with an injury and Brian Daboll abandoned the Patriots playbook that worked for Tom Brady and decided to build an offense around Josh Allen. Lots of quick hitters, Chip Kelly concepts.
You're literally referencing game-tape that is nearly 2 years old at this point.
You don't see the absurdity in that?
I don't disagree that Allen struggled mightily at times his first 2 years.
I'm sure you'll pull up tape of him having a bad game in Pee-Wee football to justify your point at some time.
But RIGHT NOW, THIS YEAR, he has not been doing that.
Does he have a bad game or two? Sure. Everyone does. Mahomes has 4 INT's in the last 3 games. It happens.
But never, at any point, did Allen struggle reading defenses.
That was not a thing.
His eyes were never "slow".
Allen's struggles were accuracy and anticipation.
He, most of the time, threw to the right player.
He diagnosed the play and threw to the right guy, but it was either not in the right spot, or simply not accurate.
THAT was his problem.
Allen did not have 5,000 yards and 46 TD's this year by throwing to 1 read quick bangers.
The Bills played FOUR top-10 defenses this year:
Rams
Steelers
Dolphins
Patriots
He had 311 yards and 5 TD's against the Rams.
He had 265 yard, 2 TD's and 1 INT against the Steelers
He had 470 yards, 5 TD's and 1 INT against the Patriots.
He had 650 yards, 7 TD's and 1 INT against the Dolphins (in one half).
Against top 10 defenses this year, Allen had 19 TD's and 3 INT's.
It's clear as day that you are going to just make things up until the cows come home and lie lie lie to make a point, and I'm not interested in having a conversation with someone who uses deceit to attempt to sound smart.
You're more than welcome to have the last word and throw in a few more lies. I won't be responding. [Reply]
