90sBills

This same argument was made when Mahomes lost Hill. We all know what happened. Kelce was a great player before Mahomes. With Mahomes he’s first ballot HOF material. Hate to admit it since the Chiefs are the biggest obstacle to the Bills reaching their goal but Mahomes is just that good. After Kelce retires there will be other guys that Mahomes (along with Reid’s offense) will elevate. Other team fans will say if Mahomes doesn’t have so and so he won’t be as productive. All the while missing the point that Mahomes is the reason his receivers are productive. Here’s hoping that Allen can get to that level. Disagree with Voltz that he’s there already. Doesn’t mean he can’t get there eventually.

Absolutely! Evidenced by all the superbowls Reid has before Mahomes…oh wait.

There was no guarantee that they could’ve beat Cincy if they survived 13 seconds. Unstoppable teams usually don’t lose. They were good that year but, just like every year under this regime, not good enough. Until proven otherwise this coaching staff and even this qb will be questioned.

Maybe fans’ expectations are too high for this team. The owners seem to be fine with a perennial playoff team that sells seats and gets primetime games.

This has been my take. A lot of people on here keep dogging on Davis as not being a “legitimate” #2. I argue that he’s fine. Coupled with Diggs that’s a great tandem. If Allen is who we think he is then that’s a dynamic duo. If they continue to fail and fans keep clamoring for more and more weapons then Allen isn’t as elite as most think he is. Having said all that taking Diggs away would crippling for the offense. He’s a true #1.

These are fighting words around here. Haha. Get Allen two bonafide stud wideouts like Burrow has and he’ll have his best season.

I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing to. If you’re disputing the number of the mafia falling for last year’s hype train it might just be your group of friends. Most definitely were on board with the hype last season.

Most, if not all, Bills fans wore the ‘favorite to win the SB’ media tag last season like it was a Lombardi Trophy. Gotta take the good with the bad. It’s not like sports media knows anymore than the average fan.

Despite upgrades to other AFC teams I still think Chiefs Bengals Bills are the cream of the crop. 1 if not 2 will end up in the AFCCG. Chiefs Bills AFCCG let’s go!

This is what makes the #1 seed so critical. You’d likely see one of these teams as the #1 seed not both. During the 13 sec season Chiefs had the #2 seed. Even as good as the Chiefs were that year they couldn’t survived back to back Bills-Bengals combo. Then it happened again this year. Only it was the Bengals turn. Bills haven’t even beaten 1 team much less 2. #1 seed would set up to avoid a lot of these problems.

The next step is securing the #1 spot. This will give them the best chance to the AFCCG and SB. I don’t believe this team can win 3 consecutive playoff games to get to the SB. So anything short of getting the #1 seed will all but likely seal the deal for another early exit.

Why do some Bills fans get so defensive over any slight (real or perceived) when it comes to Allen? Can’t wait for the Bills to finally win a Lombardi so maybe all this sensitivity towards any criticisms of Allen can go away. Not holding my breath though.

When team goals aren’t met it’s easier for fans to blame the OC than the all-world qb.

Well that’s it. They’re done. Probably won’t make the playoffs.

I didn’t say it’s right. Just suggesting that could be his thought process.

Maybe he’s thinking what’s the point? Next season will probably end as previous seasons. Might as well continue his off time.

I know the feeling. Allen will get his in due time.

Disagree. Clearly Mahomes is on top. Allen and Burrow a tier below. I think Allen is better but would understand if someone thinks Burrow is better. Herbert? C’mon. Hurts needs to show more imo.

Allen is great but Mahomes is better.

By year 7 in Elway’s career he had taken the Broncos to 3 superbowls. Granted he didn’t win any of those but 3 chances in the big game is a long ways from where Bills are at presently with Allen.

For attention. Offseason can be extremely boring for some.

And if Mahomes hadn’t shown up in KC Reid would still be known as a good coach that can’t win the big one and probably retired by now.

It’s because he’s super duper focused going forward.

Wait…so there’s no such thing as a Bills franchise curse? Are you saying the team just hasn’t been good enough to win any titles?

How dare you, sir! If Reid is Allen’s coach he’d win 5 superbowls by now! Just kidding. I completely agree with you on this point. But I also believe Allen will get one eventually. Maybe next season.
