Sammy Watkins' Rib

Wingstop?

Pre-2000 this was the way to build a team. Drafting RB’s high. But things have changed greatly over the last 21 seasons.

Not entirely convinced it is a talent issue. But if it is I still would not invest more than a 3rd round pick into the position in an attempt to get better talent. Aaron Jones was drafted in the 5th round. Alvin Kamara in the 3rd round. And there are plenty more examples. Odds are both backs or at a minimum one is fully capable of much more production then what we have seen.

Few guys IMO have been more important to their teams overall success then Allen has for the Bills these last two seasons. Him and Lamar these last two years have probably shouldered the same amount of pressure and responsibility for their teams success. Bills simply can’t run the ball with any consistency for two years now. Allen has been our biggest rushing threat and that hasn’t always been by design. Compare Allen and the Bills to Rodgers and the Packers or Brady and the Bucs. Those two teams have great ground games that the QB’s can rely on.

This was supposed to be the run against the Texans in the playoffs two years ago for the win except we couldn’t block it.

As much as I hate the Pats (still hate the Jets more for reasons not fully understood) I have to say they’ve done a heck of a job bringing along Mac Jones. Expect them to be a handful for us in at least one game this year against them if not both. I’m actually thrilled though with the prospect of the Pats maybe stealing the 7th seed away from the Chiefs and making the Chiefs miss the playoffs entirely.

I agree. I see this one getting out of hand and the Jets game being much like this past Dolphins game.

I want the one seed but I would be lying if I said i wouldn’t be scared of a slow start like we have seen coming out of bye weeks recently. Bills sort of started slow last year against the Colts without a bye week but o also thought that had more to do with just really bad special teams play and field position in the first half. Theoretically as the #2 seed you should get to play some scrub #7 seed. But of course last year the AFC didn’t really work out that way but the NFC did when the Saints got to play a bad Bears team. AFC might not workout that way again this year either.

The TD no way. Bills couldn’t run the clock out without getting a first down. And all they did was call three straight runs. Miami just had to stop them. But the 2 point conversion attempt made no sense.

Sorry, i got distracted by Diggs shorts. What was the question again?

Love that Wyoming is getting the Bills game. But what about Firebaugh!? Come 'on.

Never bet over/under's. Hate them.

Nah. It's AJ Green. If he's paying attention Green should at worst make sure it falls incomplete. That was definitely on Green.

He looked short to me. But surprised they overturned the call without 100% evidence he was short. But definitely looked more likely than not he was short.

Not necessarily. What if the extra team is like say, the Jets, and suck. That’s two extra wins for the other teams in the division.

Probably not hate, but there would be a lot of mockery of Allen on this board. Just like how we see fans from across the league continue to mock Allen as inaccurate, dumb and a running back. The take away with Mahomes and the Chiefs struggling is that Mahomes is not the God QB that so many made him out to be. It's clear he can be kept in check and even more clear is that the league has a handful of young QB's that are putting themselves on Mahomes level. Murray and Allen are there now. And even younger QB's like Herbert and Burrow look like they can get there. We all knew that Mahomes was put in the best opporutnity in NFL history for a young QB to start and succeed right away. Credit to Mahomes that he put up one of the greatest seasons ever out of the gate in his second year. The question left on answered was weather or not any other QB's could catch Mahomes if Mahomes situation declined a bit and the others got better. So far it looks like the answer is yes. Mahomes is still great but he is no longer at the top by himself looking down on the other QB's. How would have Mahomes faired against the leagues #1 defense as a rookie throwing to KB, Charles Clay, Zay Jones and Andre Holmes? Impossible to say since we never saw Mahomes in meaningful action his rookie year and we've yet to see him put up all world numbers without a great receiving corps.

Front office also had no idea they would trade away from a HOF QB at 10 though too. Nobody really knew what Mahomes would be. Same thing with Allen.

Peterman would have never been drafted to the Bills. Mahomes and Peterman are from the same 2017 draft class. But yes, it probably would have been Tyrod starting the 2017 season I would assume with Mahomes taking over mid season.

No reason? How about KB, Robert Foster, Charles Clay, Zay Jones a.k.a. complete tear down and rebuild on the horizon. I think that is a pretty good reason to have a tremendous amount of doubt as to whether or not the the Bills would have won a Super Bowl with Mahomes by now. Ironically it would largely depend on what team Allen ended up on in 2018. What if it was the Chiefs? LOL. We are probably looking at the same 2020 conference title game Bills vs Chiefs. Who knows how it goes.

As is Allen.

The ChiefsPlanet board is a cesspool. So glad we have standards here. I'm all for free speech but good lord. There is a reason why most private companies don't just let you say whatever you want. Zero is okay. But I pointed out at least once or twice two him that Josh Allen was every bit as good on 3rd/4th and long situations over the 2019 and 2020 seasons when he came here once gloating about how good Mahomes was in those situations and the dude never acknowledged it from what I recall.

Anyone know what the deal is with Mahomes fiancé/wife? Apparently Chiefs fans think she is a bit crazy and could be a reason for some of his mental issues. Oh, and they think his brother is a grade A douche. Just another reason why Josh Allen > Mahomes. Haven't heard a single Bills fan say or post a negative thing about Allen's girl friend or brother.

It's like it is inside their head now. Early in the season they were losing to good teams but losing close. Or barely pulling out victories against good teams (Browns game). But these last three weeks tell a different story. Blown out by two good teams and trailing at the half against a bad Washington team. They are trending in the wrong direction. Their division will be tough. Doesn't look like the Raiders are going to roll over and die and the Chargers are also a tough match up for the Chiefs. A week ago I would have said there is not a snow balls chance in hell the Chiefs don't make the playoffs. But after this loss and wins pulled out by the Raiders, Bengals, Browns, Colts and Patriots I think there is a very real possibility the Chiefs miss the playoffs. The Chiefs schedule doesn't let up much.

In terms of the AFC who would you trust more than the Bills to go all the way? That's why I think the national media still loves the Bills. But yeah, we aren't unbeatable anymore which was wear the team was trending towards. Sucks to have devastating last second losses in winnable games in back to back years just before the bye week. But fast forward a month from now and we could be talking about a team that is once again viewed similarly and with a point differential hovering somewhere close to +200

passer rating wise his worst game was the Miami game. I started a thread this off-season that Allen had the highest passer rating in NFL history on Monday night football. I think him and Lamar Jackson are neck and neck. Next test will be Vs Patriots in Buffalo.
