90sBills

Sure he would. The only thing some of us Bills fans can do in this discussions is throw out hypotheticals while in reality it’s playoffs failures year after year. Allen could’ve helped himself this year in the divisional. It was the perfect opportunity to change the narrative against Mahomes and KC. When it came down to the pivotal moment he made a bad decision. So the narrative will continue whether some like it or not.

I agree that it takes a team to win championships. QBs have so much control over their teams’ results that they should get a lot of the credit and criticisms. With his talent I do think Mahomes would be successful no matter where he went. Allen is a great qb. I think he’s number 2 in the NFL. He’s perfect for the Bills. But we can’t make statements that are objectively not true. Especially when him and the Bills keep failing every year and to the same teams. Let’s have some semblance of objectivity.

Bad day?

No. No he’s not. Guess that’s why he’ll be playing in his fourth Superbowl this Sunday.

I agree. That’s why they called a play with Diggs running wide open for the first down. Hit the short pass and it might be the Bills playing the superbowl this week. But Allen chose the kill shot. Can’t put that on the coaching staff.

You’re paying so much attention that you’re connecting things that are unrelated.

Not sure if they’ll win. SF is a tough team. But the fact that this underwhelming KC team made it to the Superbowl is really saying something. Bills really shiet the bed. Inexcusable loss at home like that. Hope Bills fans stop with the regular season jubilation next season if they beat KC again. Those wins are meaningless. All about the playoffs.

If they had drafted a qb that year it’d probably be Watson. He was the more ‘ready’ qb. I don’t think this coaching staff had the foresight for someone like Mahomes.

Are you blaming McD for Allen taking that endzone shot?

I think both guys ended up where they should. It’s really the best fit for both franchises.

KC had 4 OL starters out helped. Mahomes also played with turf toe and had to get surgery two days after that superbowl. If the Bills are ever in a playoff game with KC with those conditions they better win. lol

Mahomes’ intangibles are similar to Brady’s. Mahomes physical skills are greater than Brady’s.

NFL’s Karl Malone.

Even though it’s a Bills message board it’s ok for us to be objective. We definitely disagree on your last part. I do see a difference between the two. Allen is 2nd best in the league to me. But there’s a gap between him and Mahomes. As there’s a gap between Mahomes and every other qb in the league. Let’s hope Allen can close that gap in the coming seasons or the early playoffs dismissals will continue.

I completely agree with you about this being the best opportunity. It was all set up perfectly. At the 2 minute warning I was thinking this is it. They’re going to finally do it. That drive was masterful up to that point. Then came the throw on 2nd down. Just like that it looked bleaked. Wasted opportunity. The AFC was wide open this year.

Reid definitely maximized Mahomes potential. On the flip side Mahomes catapulted Reid from a perceived ‘choke in big games’ coach to arguably best of all time. What I find interesting is through all the times we’ve exchanged posts about Mahomes you’ve never complimented him. Not one time. It’s always about his coaches his weapons his team and whatever else that’s responsible for his success. But never anything acknowledging that he is a special player. How did you view Brady when he was beating up on the Bills all those years? I always saw and acknowledged Brady’s greatness even though he was not a Bill. It’s the same with Mahomes. I see a lot of Brady’s qualities in Mahomes. I can see and acknowledge Mahomes’ greatness even though he’s responsible for sending the Bills home 3 of the last 4 years. These qualities don’t have anything to do with coaching. That’s why I disagree with you about Allen having the same kind of success as Mahomes if he’s with KC. Allen would definitely have more success for sure. Most likely win a ring. But not at the rate of Mahomes’ success. There are similarities between Brady and Mahomes that I don’t see from Allen. It doesn’t mean that Allen can’t lead the Bills to a championship one day. I think he will and Buffalo will finally get a Lombardi. But Mahomes is different.

Allen can give Brady that ‘whatever’ look again when Brady advices him to take what the defense gives you.

Better late than never

This is the first year that KC’s defense has been ‘shut down’. Mahomes has been this way since he stepped on the field. No amount of coaching can instill those kinds of instincts. It’s ok to acknowledge a QB’s greatness even though he’s not a Bill. Root for the Bills to kick his ass when they play but gotta give credit when he’s great.

This is exactly what I see when I watch KC play. Mahomes does this stuff every game it seems. He makes the difficult seems mundane. That’s why he’s the best.

Absolutely! More resources for him to lean on would definitely help. Ultimately it’s up to him. Let’s see what he does this offseason to prepared.

Pro Bowl is a joke. Also, golf is very important to Allen.

Doesn’t jive with the narrative.

KC’s receivers were not great last year either and they won it all. I disagree that the difference between Buffalo and KC this year is a fg. The difference between the two is one team playing in the Superbowl and the other team that cannot win when it really counts. It isn’t limited to just this year either. As for Allen. He has all the physical tools. Even though Mahomes can make all the throws I think Allen has the bigger arm. Where he trails Mahomes is the mental side of the game. This is something that Allen can and should improve if he wants to continue to be in the conversation as one of the top QBs in the league.

It’s funny that most people on here believes that Allen is better than Mahomes. Then turn around and demand that Allen needs all pro pass catchers everywhere to help him win. All the while Mahomes is leading his team to yet another Superbowl with a rag tag receiving group. I get being homers but sometimes it’s just too much.
