We know what Allen can do in January. What matters is what the Bills defense can do. They play against Mahomes, not Allen. Some Bills fans do care about Josh Allen winning MVP, and that’s what this thread is about.

Betting odds don’t have much to do with the MVP voters. More about talking heads and hot takes.

That and to try and get him a ring.

“ next year” hasn’t been the goal for the Bills since the 2019 season.

Of course not, and they certainly have a chance. The bye and seeding makes the road much tougher for all but 1 team. It used to be 2 teams got to win a single home playoff game to advance to the title game. Not impossible now but a lot more difficult.

It’s too big an advantage , but the NFL only sees dollar signs. They don’t care, and won’t change it back until the NFLPA agrees to 8 playoff teams and an 18 game schedule.

Has some merit, but that’s a lot of changes. I’d be happy to see the bye return for the 2 seed. Not going to happen until the playoffs are expanded to 16 teams. That’s probably not until Allen’s career is over.

Starting off with a bye is huge. Then the weakest remaining team by record. Then possibly a very strong team for the title game, all at home. Not easy, but not exactly a gauntlet. The Bills will likely have to play the other two best teams in the AFC to reach the Super Bowl. Eliminating the bye week for the 2 seed is a mother @&$! for the Bills. Greatly diminishes their chances of getting to the big game while KC is going strong.

Only if you’d prefer the 3 seed. You’d probably get the Steelers to start round one - you could probably make an argument for 3 seed vs 2 .

And yet they only managed to score 24 points. I’d bet many teams have scored 24 and lost playoff games. You don’t win games with yardage.

Yes he does. He also drafted Allen, who covers up a lot of warts. Beane hasn’t found an elite DE, DL or LB. This defense can be good at times but they lack key components to be great.

They must win out Broncos lose out Colts lose 1 Dolphins lose 1

They will probably get BYE LAC 3rd time/ HOU rematch BUF/ BAL rematch

If the Bills lose their last two, the Ravens win their finale vs CLE , Broncos defeat Chiefs and Bengals defeat PIT then the Bills would face PIT in round one.

It doesn’t matter what you want. Or me, or any of us. Thats it. The only thing that matters ( as you alluded too) is what Terry wants. Yeah, we know he wants a SuperBowl win, and he knows how good Josh is. Short of that Championship, it’s if and when he decides a change is necessary at Head Coach, or GM or whatever. His confidence level, not ours will dictate this. If we don’t like it, we can follow a different team. It sounds harsh , but that’s the reality.

Pretty good role player. Wasn’t interested in him at the Bills spot and still wouldn’t have taken him.

It certainly wasn’t enough, but probably all they’re capable of. They look like a one and done unless they play HOU or something like that. Fortunately, the rankings of national observers have zero impact on which team(s) end up in New Orleans.

Not too many teams put up undefeated seasons in the NFL, in case you didn’t know it. Thats what it would take to secure the 1 seed this year. If you want to be angry about something , it should be the NFL and their elimination of the bye week for the 2 seed in the playoffs. For no other reason than pure greed. Unfortunately it coincided with Josh Allen becoming well, Josh Allen. Thats a bummer for Bills fans.

They won’t have a choice but to run whatever gauntlet the final seeding and game results dictate.

If you mean the Bills know they don’t need to use/ show things that they will use in the playoffs to win this game then you’re correct.

Yes, they are. They own a business that is guaranteed to make a large profit every year. Yes there is a reason why every NFL teams wants a Josh Allen. The QB far outweighs the importance of any other player on the team: that’s the nature of the sport. It doesn’t guarantee a Super Bowl Trophy - or even an appearance in the big game- but it makes it a lot more likely. Hardly a revelation there. The game is entertainment, and it’s a lot more entertaining when it is played well.

Breaking News : it doesn’t matter. At all. Internal pressure from ownership, that’s about all that matters. If ownership thinks something needs to change, amazingly changes happen. Why pretend that fans opinions amount to anything? They were not good enough to go 17-1. And they didn’t - KC did. That is the difference in the seeding.

Josh Allen isn’t the Bills only player, but I get it. I suspect that’s why most teams spend every waking minute trying to find a Josh Allen of their own. They don’t grow on trees or every team would have one. It still doesn’t guarantee a first round bye or a Super Bowl berth. Sometimes you have a great year and your top competitor goes 17-1 .

Right? Apparently better roster building, better coaching and an enraged fan base will prevent the Chiefs from losing just 1 game or get the to Bills an undefeated season! Thats all we need to be guaranteed a Super Bowl berth.

I wouldn’t read too much into it. Late season game vs division opponent going nowhere. Lots of reasons why this may not be a high scoring affair.
