This is going to be the most annoying take for entire year as it was leading up to the game.
*incoming rant*
My phone has blow up by casual non-bills football fans. “Allen will never beat Mahomes”
where do they ever get this take? Tv and graphics.
Let’s breakdown!
1. Least relevant but they must mean playoffs. Bills 4-0 season, 0-4 in playoffs
2. I know it's not exciting but talking point should be Reid vs McDermott. Nobody wants to talk all week about for example Kair Elam being picked on. What good tv does that make?! It's not Allen vs mahomes. It's mahomes vs bills defense. It's Allen vs chiefs defense. Again I know boring
3. But hey! Let’s still make it Allen vs mahomes in playoffs there numbers in these 4 games are both ridiculous and damn near equal
4. Can do this for all 4 games but let's do easy one 13 second game. That's a loss for Allen. He left field winning with 13 seconds left in game. He was leading 13 seconds and bills lost that’s on Allen though can’t beat mahomes…?
5. Let's take this year. Even better. Bill lose last night 32-29.
How many times this entire season did the Chiefs put up 32 points on offense? Zero. Take away the last game of regular season all backups how many times this season did Chiefs defense give up 29 points? One time…against the bills
If flip Allen and mahomes, chiefs are winning all 4 of those playoff games and I would argue by a much larger margin. But no need for hypothetical because above point are facts.
