I really think that regular season game loss vs Buffalo was a blessing in disguise. I have little doubt Buffalo will try to run a similar game plan. Knowing that, I think KC adjusts to that and could succeed against it. KC will look far more different this time vs the last. That's a huge advantage for them. [Reply]

He has improved more than I think many want to admit. He's not at the level of Mahomes, but to call him the 2nd best QB in the AFC is no stretch.
He was terrible in 2 out of 3 playoff games last year.
He choked badly in his first playoff game too.
He has been bad more often than good so far in his 5 playoff appearances. [Reply]

Very true. I was in the corner saying that Cincinnati should have drafted Sewell over Chase. I admit I was way wrong on that one. [Reply]

He was, but one of those was to KC which confirms what I have been saying about KC being the biggest challenge. I won't put Allen on Mahomes level, but I think he's better than some want to admit. [Reply]
Are we sure this Bills defense is that good? I mean good ****ing God what a cake schedule they’ve played. Look at who they played:
Jets twice
Mr average Mac Jones himself 3X
Falcons without Julio or Ridley
Panthers
Saints with Siemian at QB and no Michael Thomas
Jags
Dolphins twice
Texans
Notice the Bucs, Titans and Colts all dropped 33 or more points on these guys.
That defense now doesn’t have their best corner. We can drop 50 on these fools [Reply]

He is a very good QB. I wouldn't place him personally top 5 but if people want to argue 6 to 12 that's fair, and about right for now.
If he wants to be considered equal or at least in the conversation with Mahomes he is going to need to win a Super Bowl. He has the #1 defense and tons of weapons. It's on him now. [Reply]

Allen is a great all-around QB. Period. But, he's gonna need to knock off the Champ if he wants more praise than he's already getting - and it doesn't come in a meaningless game played in early October, when our team was reeling with dumbassery and injuries.
If they knock us off Sunday evening, then he'll have the media, en masse, gobbling his cock the entire week before the AFCCG. [Reply]
Mahomes vs. Allen. Arrowhead for a night playoff game. Mahomes has risen to this moment time after time after time. Throw in the embarassing loss to the Bills earlier in the year I feel like the Bills are walking into a hornets nest.
You better believe Reid is going to unload the playbook as well. You think he enjoyed his mentee embarassing him earlier in the year on primetime?
If I remember correctly blitzing Sneed off the edge caused Allen a ton of trouble in the AFCCG last year. Allen is athletic enough to allude defensive lineman and linebackers. In big situations look for Spags to send Sneed/Honeybadger. [Reply]
