90sBills

Wow another Allen is better but can’t win because someone something else etc etc thread. It’s still Feb. Might be a record for these kind of threads this offseason.

I remember the media would be incessant about Reid’s clock management in big games. It’s funny how that whole narrative has disappeared since Mahomes. No matter how brilliant a coach is he’d still need the right players to execute his visions. Players (especially QBs) will always be more important than the coach. It’s already proven with Brady and Belichick.

Most people know this. But not too many in that group want to accept it. It’s much more palatable to provide ‘reasons’ than to say Bills weren’t good enough 3 out of 4 years against KC when it mattered. The only time it didn’t happened was when the two didn’t meet. Bills gotta find a way to get it done next year because this has become a major roadblock to the superbowl.

He’d probably disagree with you. Unless you think he’s fine with not bringing a championship back for the city and fanbase. So you’re saying black QBs are not smart enough so ‘they’ still wanna prove it to us? Also, didn’t a black QB just won the Superbowl?

Von did

He was on the Madden cover. But sure so under recognized.

Surprisingly accurate lol

Well for me it was in direct response to the previous post about our healthy defense ‘handling’ KC in that game. My point was not really. And to a wider point those regular season games don’t amount to much at all. Playoff games are where it matters. Yeah sure. Coin flip in all the games but one side won them all (playoffs) and has all the trophies. So yes close but no cigars as they say.

KC was a boneheaded penalty away from winning that regular season game. Also seeing how things have played out KC has another gear in the playoffs that Bills have yet to match. Could a healthy Bills D slowed them down this time? Maybe. But more likely not. As KC played a better (and healthy) defense in Baltimore the week after then yet again another better ranked defense in SF to win the Lombardi. So lament all you want about what could should would. KC has proved that they can beat anyone in the playoffs. Bills need to raise their game to that level otherwise the trophy case will remain empty.

KC will be WR shopping. Higgins and Evans are the top free agents. I don’t think KC would, or could, pay for those guys. Davis would be a replacement for MVS. Same type of money I bet.

I think there’s a possibility with that.

I obviously don’t pay as much attention to KC as you do. From the way you make it sound FAU must be a bust. Imagine spending a 1st round draft pick and have him not contribute in any meaningful way. That’s bust. Just ‘pointing out facts’. Btw…whenever you respond to a comment with an attack it’s being defensive. Just say you misunderstood my comment. It’s all good.

He didn’t see the field because Omenihu and Dana were tearing it up. My comment was a compliment to the Chiefs organization for having such quality backups. Why are you so defensive? Your team just won back to back. How would you be able to handle losing if you’re this sensitive when winning?

Omenihu is third in sacks behind Jones and Karlaftis. That’s despite missing 6 games due to suspension. He was one of their big offseason acquisition. Definitely more than depth. Somehow they had a 1st round pick to replaced him in the Superbowl. Why can’t Bills have that kind of luxury? Smh.

I was responding to the comment about NFL injuries in general. As long as the QB is healthy there’s still a chance to salvage the season. As for the divisional game…of course it would’ve been better without all the defensive injuries. Not sure how much they could slow down KC though. Their offense always seem to find a way. Bills offense was relatively healthy and they were in position to win at the end. Just couldn’t get it done.

It depends on who is injured. Outside of losing your franchise qb teams will still find ways to compete and win. That’s the NFL in a nutshell. Some teams have even won Superbowls despite losing their QBs.

For sure. The TOP was huge. Playing keep away and methodically working down the field was brilliant. Hopefully Brady uses this strategy next year against them. A few plays going Bills way like you said and hopefully different outcome.

KC made the #1 defense in Superbowl 54 looked bad. They shredded to Eagles #1 defense in last year’s Superbowl. Then this Superbowl, with a lackluster offense, they again scored on one of the top defenses. I’m starting to think it really doesn’t matter how good a team’s defense is when they play Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs. They’re going to score. So it’s up to the offense to out score them. Can’t rely on defensive stops.

KC lost Nadi in the WC round. Lost Thunny in the Divisional round. Then lost Omenihu in the Championship round. I think those were significant starters yet they found a way to win it all. It is what it is.

Yes please! It feels like cosmic karma is against Allen and the Bills whenever this gets spewed into the universe. With every passing year of another Mahomes’ Superbowl MVPs and Allen’s early playoff exits this notion gets more and more delusional. Even among the fanbase.

Bills are not far behind. They always give KC problems. But look at it from the Bills view and it’s clear KC gives the Bills bigger problems. So while the Bills are close it doesn’t mean they’re able to clear that hump until they actually do it.

Agreed. That’s why it’s useless to play the ‘what if’s game’. Better to deal with what is.

This. He needs to work on feeling pocket pressure and adjust. Brady was a master at this. Now Mahomes is getting to that level as well. Stepping away from pressure plus all the different delivery angles he has. No reason Allen can’t do all that. Just need to dedicate time to work on it.

True. But not many are. Also not necessary to get a championship.

He got me. lol
