I can't quite go there yet. The absolute most important thing a QB can do is be able to read defenses. Look off safeties. Brady and Manning were the absolute best to ever do that. They were like OC's on the field. And they both had good enough arm strength to compete in shootouts where needed too.

If KC wins on Wednesday, we have no shot at the one seed. We should still play starters against the Jets though. Can't risk being rusty when the real season begins. The big question is what they will do week 18. Assuming Lamar plays out of his mind against Houston. And we end in NE. I know it's team first. But Allen sitting while Lamar beats up on Cleveland, may sway MVP voters. Again, team first. But you know the organization wants Allen to win MVP. As most fans do too.

The only way to win a SB is by beating upper echelon teams. If we can't even get out of the divisional round again, we were never going to be SB contenders in the first place. I will say adding that 7th seed has watered the postseason down. For the most part, the 7th seed has been getting beat bad. It won't happen. But the league needs to go back to the 6 teams format. It was stupid to have only one team get the bye.

O'Connell has made Darnold look like a pro bowler. That alone should get him the award. Not to mention their record and how they look. Also, let's ay O'Connell and McDermott switched places. Is Allen worse off? Is Darnold still doing what he's doing? Agree. The COTY in all sports goes to the team that overperforms. The team without expectations. I noticed in hockey the winner often gets fired within a few years. I think that's because they surprise year one. Management thinks the team is on a title path or something. Predictably..said team falls back to earth. And everyone is disappointed. Otherwise...Bill Belichick won the award twice. Do we believe Belichick was only the best head coach in two years? Obviously not. He was the best coach most years.

I don't think many fans will look at it this way. It's SB or bust at this point. Elite QB's don't grow on trees. We can't waste one. Losing in the AFC title game vs divisional round won't make me feel better as a fan.

They better hope their offense doesn't struggle in the postseason. Which Lamar tends to do. Because that defense isn't bailing them out against top tier teams/QB's.

I wanna see them do this in the postseason against legit non injured defenses.

Eh...while true, I just think we want an angry Pittsburgh team fighting to break their losing streak vs one coming off a division clinching game.

Ravens can definitely beat KC in KC too. Us and them are the only teams with offenses that can cause them problems.

The only issue with them winning is they are more likely to keep certain guys out on Wednesday. They will have the division wrapped up.

True. Another thing to look at is that if we win tomorrow & KC loses Wed, they have to play all of their starters the 5th. The NFL will ensure both teams play at the same time. Which would be 425 ET. Why is that significant? The more games they play starters, the higher the chance they suffer an injury to a key player. Not that I'm actively rooting for injuries.

You think Pittsburgh has a chance to beat KC. How? They have no offense. Their receivers are brutal outside Pickens...who is injured. These games are showing that Pittsburgh was fraudulent.

Idk why...but I have a weird feeling about this game. Coming off a huge win in Detroit. Opponent is brutal but QB has the ability to make any throw and can run. Division games are always tough. To be fair, that game was in New England. And they were still better coached vs the guy they have this year.

The spread might be 14 points or more We should win this rather easily

Do I think there's a 50/50 chance the Bills win? Yes. But I also think that percentage is higher if we got Denver or Pittsburgh at home instead. So no I wouldn't voluntarily choose to play KC over anyone else.

Resting starters for two weeks is not an option imo. That would most likely lead to them coming out and laying an egg in the first playoff game.

My issue is teams have to wait until the 4th quarter. Like why? It's stupid.

Oh ffs why can't we have good things?

I'd be stunned if they don't draft his replacement this year.

Still a long long way to go.

He is absolutely correct. There are very few game changers on this team. Who on D would keep OC's up at night? There are no legit # 1 receivers. That's simply unacceptable. Brady had Gronk and Edelman. They had top 10 defenses who helped win SB's. In fact, I'm pretty sure they had a top 10 D every time they won a SB. Chiefs have elite talent on D. Of course, Kelce at TE & had Hill. I'm not even going to get into the difference in coaches. It's been beaten to death.

This. And if Belichick came here and won a SB, how many people in Buffalo would hate him? None. He would have a statue and street named after him.

Keep in mind Houston has the tiebreaker on us. So if they go undefeated and we lose twice...we are the 5th seed.
