This thread is highly entertaining, especially towards the end.
We live in their heads completely rent free. They're absolutely besides themselves at the idea of having to go through Arrowhead in the playoffs again.
I think they're finally coming to terms about who their daddy is.
Rarely do I cry conspiracy with officiating, but just like with the Pats in years past it seems every favorable call goes the Chiefs way and they are almost never called for holidng on offense and every ticky tack foul is always called against their opponent which was true even when the Bills beat them earliest this year. I get their lovefest with Mahomes being the current face of the league but things are beyond predictable with this team and you get the sense that Reid/Mahomes/etc know they always have the refs on their side.
Sure, if you take away the 4 or so TDs that were taken off the board this year due to ticky tack calls, the two unsportsmanlikes for mean words (one that cost them a win), one of the worst roughing calls in NFL history, and the non-calls against JJSS and the James' body slam of Kelce.

I'm not sure how the two even compare. Maybe if there were 40+ pages added to the Broncos thread every time they play.
Bills fans are completely ate up with KC. Believe it or not, that wasn't the first thread about KC they created. Half their threads are about KC. [Reply]
During the final drive last night I was thinking how Mahomes and Kelce getting the ball back was killing opposing fans, especially the bills. Felt bad for them. Know that feeling well.
They will be much better off if they embrace and enjoy Mahomes magic like Fonzie has. Fonzie looked at Mahomes with the same adoring look Coach Klein had for Bobby Boucher. [Reply]

Are people actually this delusional?
And the refs apparently think it's cool to mug the KC receivers for 90% of the game with no penalty. If they actually called that stuff in a strict manner, KC might put 40 points per game on the board. Two of their drives in the first half last night were killed by defensive holding & pass interference on 3rd down. It's more of the same stuff Tennessee was doing a couple weeks ago. [Reply]
I think the rigged stuff is some kind of psychological phenomenon. Seriously.
It's like body dysmorphia on an anorexic person. They literally see calls differently and assume it's all rigged.
It's only when you compare the fanbases rigged arguments that you see everyone is deceived. Calls are bad all the time, but not to any predetermined end. They're just bad refs. [Reply]
I have a lot of sympathy for old long suffering fans like this guy. I really do:
"I'm salty because all I care about is winning one ***** Super Bowl before I die, and the Bills winning today doesn't change that long-term perspective. KC losing was just as important as the Bills winning and it didn't happen, in gut-wrenching fashion.
KC already won a Super Bowl but seems to be even hungrier and just slightly better than the Bills where it matters most: coaching and QB. It's unspeakably frustrating that they have thus far and will likely continue to single-handedly deny the Bills in what may prove to be the best era of Bills football and the last real chance they get before I'm gone."

It remains to be seen if he's smart enough or unselfish enough to make the change to his game.
Allen will get it figured out. Very talented guy. Right now the biggest issue could very well be that elbow situation. Might not be a bad idea for their coaches to use more of a dink & dunk approach while he's dealing with the elbow injury. [Reply]

Also the fact that they passed on Mahomes and then defended it again and again, desperate to not be the Bears plays into this.
And they're right, at least they traded down and got good players. But if they can't ever beat Mahomes they chose wrong.
Not to mention it feeling exactly like Brady. [Reply]

Why do you guys keep pretending that he wasn't playing like dogshit before the elbow injury? [Reply]

He wasn't playing his best. Still think it's foolish to attempt the deeper throws if that elbow isn't feeling too good. Hell...maybe the guy shouldn't be playing. Says a lot about their lack of confidence in Case Keenum that they continue to trot Allen out there. [Reply]
