The Athletic asked 3 anonymous scouts about each game and to make picks. Dont let any Chiefs fans see this. Tantrum city anytime somebody gets comped to Mahomes. https://theathletic.com/3083161/2022/01/21/nfl-playoff-predictions-unplugged-3-scouts-pick-divisional-round-winners-including-a-bills-team-on-a-mission/ Bills-Chiefs Put aside the team aspect for a moment even though many see the winner advancing to, if not winning, the Super Bowl. Have we reached a point where it’s fair to put Bills quarterback Josh Allen in a side-by-side comparison with Patrick Mahomes? “I think it’s absolutely a question,” Scout 3 said. That seems preposterous considering Mahomes’ achievements and gifts. However, Buffalo is coming off an unfathomable offensive performance, having scored on all seven of its full drives in last week’s 47-17 thrashing of New England. Allen, the 2020 league MVP runner-up, tossed five touchdown passes and had 376 total yards from scrimmage. Recency bias or not, Scout 3 said, “Josh Allen just played arguably statistically the best playoff game ever played in NFL history.” The scout views Allen as the better runner. Though he can’t match Mahomes’ arm angles and flexibility, “Allen has essentially the same level arm talent.” If the quarterbacks play something to a draw, the scouts see plenty of tables getting broken near the Canadian border. “Scout 2: “Does Buffalo have the best defense of the remaining playoff teams? You could make that argument.” Scout 1: “I like Buffalo’s defense a lot. Love their safeties. I think if Buffalo just doesn’t give up the big chunk plays, they make Kansas City grind it out, they win this game.” Scout 3: “I think Buffalo is the more complete team. … Buffalo is on a mission.” The Bills were on a heater in their 38-20 Week 5 win at Kansas City, as Allen threw three touchdowns. But Kansas City is the two-time defending AFC champion and vanquished Buffalo in last year’s conference championship game. While the Bills had something of a meandering regular season, the Chiefs overcame a slow start to win nine of their final 10 games before throttling the Steelers 42-21 in the wild-card round. During that 10-game surge, the defense went from supporting cast to allowing the fewest points per game (16.1) since Week 8. Buffalo plays with five defensive backs more than any team in the league. Scout 3 sees the Chiefs running game with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon (142 yards from scrimmage with a touchdown against Pittsburgh) as the needed ball-control counterpunch. The teams have playmakers on offense and defense. This game won’t just be about the quarterbacks, and yet, it probably will come down to those players. Despite Allen’s surge, all three scouts chose Mahomes when asked to compare. Scout 1 loves Allen the athlete but still has accuracy concerns, while Scout 2 was unwilling to ignore the people calling plays. “Mahomes comes with Andy Reid. (Buffalo offensive coordinator) Brian Daboll is no slouch, but Reid is one of the best play callers ever,” Scout 2 said. For these scouts, Reid and Mahomes will need to dial up a stellar plan against the Bills. Scout 1: Bills Scout 2: Bills Scout 3: Bills

I actually respect him more for this than anything he does on the field. We need to put a stop to condiment shaming…. Especially in buffalo and surrounding areas. … You do you, Pat!

Bro, I've never seen a fan base more arrogant or get more butt hurt if you even HINT that theres a chance they could lose a game. Its unreal... i've seen it from them on every internet platform. just absurd. I think they honestly believe they are gonna take the AFC for the next decade. their poster child, Nick Wright, has been having pouty tantrums all week on TV just because the chiefs arent favored by more.

i read on chiefs planet that he absolutely buckles under pressure..... so i'm confused.

Simms wants allll the smoke. Nick Wright is in a corner somewhere plugging his ears, holding his breath, kicking and and screaming like the toddler he is.

I dont think i've ever quite seen a fan base that if you even hint towards the fact that they arent an unstoppable force and that certain teams or players may be on their level or even approach it, they have a complete tantrum. Basically holding their breath and plugging their ears like a snot nosed toddler, until you admit no other qb or team has a chance against them.... Go on any social media platform and find somebody saying Mahomes isnt in his very own elevated "God tier" then watch those pricks in KC go completely nuclear. .... any fan thats watched football for more than 10 minutes knows how stupid an arrogant/untouchable attitude can make you look. and it can happen quickly. I honestly think they expect to make the next decades worth of superbowls and they feel like thats perfectly reasonable... the way those dudes talk you'd think they were coming into the playoffs as some juggarnaut as opposed to a very good but flawed 12-5 NUMBER 2 SEED.

at the 15:00 mark when Josh pretends to help up the ghost of the man he just killed with his juke 😂

Or he fabricates dumb arguments like bringing up how Allen only beat Mac jones and conveniently leaving out the fact the chiefs beat up on the corpse of Big Ben. All while leaving out the caliber of defenses.... he says stupid s***. he can go pound sand. i personally think he's garbage.

Well everyone but basically keyshawn Johnson and Nick Wright are gushing about it…. I’m just dumbfounded somebody that’s been talking about the NFL over the last 2 years hasn’t figured out Allen is, at the very least, in tier 1 when it comes to talent.

I just heard Max Kellerman, on his ESPN radio show this morning, say Allen is just a notch below the superhuman guys “like Herbert and Mahomes”… ….. What in gods name has this man been watching? Living under a rock, I’m assuming? Football guys like Cossel, Simms, and Palmer are literally claiming this Allen might be the most physically gifted qb of all time and Kellerman thinks he’s physically still a cut below a couple of guys currently in the league, let alone all time…. Comical stuff.

lolololol. Seriously? did you just try and use this as a legit argument? you're a special sorta dude.

I"m with you. I'm a jackson fan. That being said. Lamar was still healthy this year when his td/int count was 16/13.... Nobody in their right mind is taking jackson over allen after the last 2 years of evidence. Well the funny part is.... Mahomes went up against the corpse of Big Ben. He conveniently left that part out.

That segment was truly cringeworthy on his part. Thank goodness for Mina Kimes there and even Stephen A. to a lessor extent. ... Keyshawn was literally calling Allen the "flavor of the month" this time last year, and somehow he's still using that same schtick. Like you said. EMBARRASSING.

i got there at noon.... i had fun. go bills.

Ya. He was hyping them back in 19. So was schien. … in fact if im not mistaken both were high on them even before that season and picked them to be a sleeper playoff team.

I would guess 3.5 or even opening at 4.

“Only an idiot”… seriously? I wanna watch a bills home playoff game live. I’ve prepped. I have air activated warming compression vest, mittens with hand warmers. Warm dry layers that I’ve worn outdoors in the elements in similar temps numerous times. im gonna correct you. ONLY AND IDIOT would go there and watch unprepared. My wife and I will honestly be just fine…. Maybe chill on that, bruh. That being said. I’d obviously rather it not be negative temps. BUT… I have a truck full of wood to burn and some crisp air to enjoy. I’m quite looking forward to my 11-12 hours in orchard park tomorrow.

Didn’t dugger miss practices this week?

Listening to the blitz on Sirius. Poyer 1st team all pro and Hyde 2nd

I hate that i cant stand him because of how obnoxious he is about Allen..... Because he's a really quick witted and funny dude about basically everything else.

i know he had a lot more experience in it by that point, but the last game this cold for us was back in 94 playoffs and kelly went 27-37 for 280 and 2 td.... There's points to be had.

other than the week 16 game, Judon had been taking our lunch the last 3 games dating back to 2019.... here's to hoping dawkins builds off of his excellent showing vs. him in week 16.

Yup. The Bills are now the veteran team with playoff experience in 3 of the 4 years prior to this one. Crazy to watch that progression over mcdermotts tenure... Battle tested.

i think i'd honestly be storing the practice balls in a freezer.
