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.

It's funny you bring this up. It seems to me that since the Niners did their little celebration against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, every team since then that has taken a lead and/or celebrated a play/score against us has gone on to get beat. Drew Lock in both games we played him, the Saints' defensive backs with their little celebration moves, anyone that has gone in front of the screens to pose at the stadiums....
Doesn't exactly bode well for teams that try to show the Chiefs up. [Reply]

I agree it seems to make the Chiefs players turn things up a notch or two.
You can almost see them watching the opposing team do their celebration and thinking 'Oh so it's going to be like that is it?' [Reply]

What I saw last night was the same ineffective offense he ran with the Chiefs in 2012. Oh sure, Josh Allen is much better than Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn but did Allen really look better than those guys last night?
He was easily thrown off his mark with pressure, panicked several times, wasn't accurate and should have thrown 4 INT's instead of 2. Their run game was shit and just like with the Chiefs and Dwayne Bowe, if you limit Diggs, their offense has nothing else to offer.
In the end, the 2020 Bills were as toothless as every other Bills team in the past 25 years.
Oh man, I don't know how you remember that far back. Maybe I just blocked that out of my mind. I also think I just ended up giving up on that team that year and simply quit watching. It would be interesting to see an old game from that season if you could stomach it. [Reply]

Didn't it start last year in the Texan's game with Watson playing an air guitar... [Reply]

For those that are unaware, an average NFL Passer Rating is 92.0 (Teddy Bridgewater, 92.1) and an average QBR is 50.0/G. Minshew=51.7 (average Pro-Bowl QBR=75).
Allen significantly underperformed vs. KC in both meetings. [Reply]
