    Recipe to Winning Titles

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I also think there’s a snowball effect for the Chiefs.  The fact that they’ve already won adds confidence to their ability to do it again, while taking some pressure off at the same time.  Since trading Tyreek, one could say they’ve been playing with house money, yet they keep winning.  Meanwhile, teams like the Bills tighten up in some of these clutch moments, because they want it SO bad and have a fear of failure in the back of their minds.  Even last night, it’s like even if Mahomes loses, he still has two SBs already, which takes pressure off of him to have to win another.  Which I think actually helps him non-chalantly lead his team to victory in OT.

    Almost every game we play vs the chiefs is 50/50

     

    The Patriots owned us for 20 years.....


    This, plus for me, I find Reid/Mahomes way more likable than BB/Brady and all the other arrogant players from those Pats teams.  Yea Mahomes gets his share of calls and whines at times, but I generally find the Chiefs more down to earth than the Pats ever were.  And that’s without even mentioning the cheating scandals.

    Isn’t that the wildest thing? The offense is undeniably worse without Tyreek but they still come away with back to back SBs… 🤯


    Between their coaching staff (Reid and Spags) and players (Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, etc.), they know how to execute in big games.

    I wish Josh had a defense that was as clutch as KC’s. Even in the years they were statistically middle of the pack KC’s defense always seemed to make plays at the right time, credit to Spagnuolo. The same can be said for Cincy’s defense and their architect Anarumo. What can we say about Buffalo’s…?
     

    Prior to this year, Allen was thought to be the one QB of the three who had enjoyed a dominant defense for the majority of his career, since that’s how it read on paper. Any Bills fan could tell you that Josh has never had a dominate defense and to that point, watching how easy it was for KC to move the ball and score against Baltimore before their offense turtled up and took their foot off the gas, I’m not sure a dominant defense is a thing in the NFL anymore. It just needs to make clutch stops at certain, opportune times. If Josh had that, I’m sure he’d have at least one SB ring by this point.


    Given track record, I’ve come to believe Spags is one of the great D coordinators over the past 20 years.  In a one game setting, he seems to be as good as anyone in scheming something up.  Aside from Mahomes and Kelce, he’s the other reason I like the Chiefs to beat the 49ers this weekend.  He’ll do something to make Brock Purdy’s life hell.

    where was Allen on the OT punt return that won it for the jets……..


    All of the losses were far from Allen’s fault, but the Jets game is the last one I’d try to make that argument.  He gave the game away in the second half, in primetime Week 1 against Zach Wilson.  That’s an embarrassing loss and Josh then fought the turnover narrative all season.  Game shouldn’t have gotten to OT.

    If going 11-6 and not winning MVP is what it takes for Josh to not come out and give games away (a la NYJ week 1), I’m all for it.  The league is all about winning, not just making great plays.

    Guess I’ll be one of the few who strongly disagrees with this take. The Ravens were the model of consistency all year, they bludgeoned other top teams in the league. Lamar played phenomenal at times, he was captain of “the best team in the league.”


    If Josh’s Bills beat up on contender after contender like the Ravens and Josh also had the low turnover output Lamar had (ie didn’t cost his team games), there’s no doubt Josh would’ve been in the MVP discussion all year long and the likely winner.
     

    When the Dolphins were hot early, Hill and Tua were heavily discussed. Before the 49ers hit their lull, Brock Purdy and McCaffrey were heavily discussed. Nowadays they seem to award the MVP to a player on the perceived best team rather than the player who was most impactful league wide.
     

    Race has nothing to do with it.


    Agree with you.  If 49ers beat the Ravens, CMC would have been league MVP.  He was trending toward being the favorite by halftime of that game, but once Ravens won, Lamar became the favorite and clinched it when they spanked the Dolphins.  If MVP voting included playoffs, maybe someone overtakes Lamar, but the voting happens when the regular season wraps and Ravens were all the talk then.

    Josh would not have led that same Baltimore team to a 13-3 record and the #1 seed.


    Agreed.  They’d have been 17-0 and be playing this weekend.

    I’m slowly getting more and more convinced this is the kind of old good player that Beane will go after. Especially with Brady’s emphasis on the run and McD being a defensive guy. A pound the rock for 3 YPC guy just feels right.

     

    So what do we think?


    What’s making you get slowly more and more convinced?

    So far this off season we have seen Diggs is unhappy speculation and Josh's romantic endeavors speculated. I saw this show last year. 


    Diggs must be unhappy because Josh is giving all his attention to Hailee and not enough to their nights staying up playing video games.  And that explains Diggs’ deteriorating production in the second half of the year too. 😝

    Am I the only one that doesn’t see anything wrong with his answers today? It’s meaningless offseason chatter. 

    If anything, he’s annoyed with the media and other gossip queens making up stories about him potentially being unhappy.  He’s unhappy about having to constantly reassure the insecure Nancies out there that everything is okay.

    Bills Unforgettable loses and the kicker connection

    One thing I noticed is that all of the teams in the final 4 had very good kickers. The Bills have a low end kicker on an otherwise top team. Instead of drafting guys in round 7 that won't make the team, how about we get a top kicker and punter? Unfortunately they are an essential part of the game for better or worse. I'd be ok with getting rid of kicking completely but that's just me. In the meantime, our special teams need to be addressed 


    How are you figuring Badgely and Moody are any better than Bass?  Career FG suggests otherwise, although maybe you’re using a different metric.
