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.

Imagine the little man complex we would all have if that happened to us.

Problem is, they only have 1 playoffs of proof that exists.
They did it ONE time.
It's not like the Patriots, who turned it on in the playoffs for 20 damn straight years.
They had mountains of proof.
2 decades worth of it.
The Chiefs have ONE measly playoffs worth of proof that they can turn it on and off.
Chiefs fans are putting all their hopes on the idea that the Chiefs can do what they did ONE time in FORTY years.
They've been doing it throughout the 2020 season as well. Their best games have been against the toughest/strongest teams on their schedule. They play down to weaker competition. We will see if that bites them in the ass with the Divisional Round in particular. [Reply]
Actually this thread has been pretty entertaining from a slow bye-week point of view.
A month from now we begin that agonizing period between the Super Bowl and the draft where we wonder who we are going to use that 32nd pick on. [Reply]

They've looked bored against lesser teams to be real honest. I wouldn't expect a let down they've basically been waiting all year for these games. [Reply]
"You guys win one super bowl in 50 years and look how arrogant you've become!"
Ok guy who's posting on another teams board, and whose team just won their division for the first time in TWENTY FIVE YEARS. Thanks for your valuable input. [Reply]
