They’re afraid Mahomes will take out their ACL if they don’t give him enough props.

Mahomes has been the 2nd best QB in the league since 2021. His team is just better. I wonder if you watch more Chiefs games than Bills games…

They should get market value, no matter how insane that number is. It’s clearly what they’re worth. Otherwise that money goes to coaches, athletic directors, and subsidizing goofy college sports.

There’s always one.

We’re due!

Fast forward to September 2025: ”3 rings to 1 brah, it’s not even close.” “Allen has only 1 MVP! Call me when he has 2 like Lamar”. And on it goes.

I've been seeing A LOT of these "Mahomes has the rings" arguments lately. But not much else. For those that have actually watched the games, it's clear that it's not Allen vs Mahomes but Bills vs Chiefs. Ever since 2021, It's been Allen > Mahomes and Bills < Chiefs. Once Bills = Chiefs or Bills > Chiefs, it's over. Mahomes will fall back in the Lamar/Burrow category and Allen will be sole #1 as he has been since 2021.

With the way Allen is trending, don't be surprised if there will be more than 1. I'm looking at that EPA chart, and we're beginning to see Allen break out as not just the #1 QB, but a standard deviation above whoever #2 is. That's what it looks like when a high-end HOF/GOAT begins to enter their prime. Lots of casual fans are calling him Mr. September, but anybody who's watched Allen over the years knows that this feels different. It's all starting to come together. It reminds me of the Kobe stories where he worked so hard for so long that he got so far ahead of everybody else, that it wasn't possible for any player to have a "great summer" and get to his level. We might be seeing that with Allen now.

It's beginning to look like Tyreek was replaceable, but Kelce was not.

The whole scandal may have broken him mentally. I read his Twitter burner account and it reads like somebody who cannot handle anymore criticism and is overcorrecting in terms of believing in his own abilities. He seems to be mentally stuck in 2019/2020 in order to psychologically deal with what he's gone through. Money is great, but the wealthy have mental issues of their own. It's not easy when you go from being most loved to most hated. Some can push through, most can't.

Typical low IQ narcissist. If not for football he’d be a smarmy used car dealer.

We finally get the Jags monkey off our back.

It’s built into human biology. Who won? Who’s the leader on the winning team? That’s the best guy. It takes second level thinking to see beyond that, something the casual sports fan lacks, driven by simple and emotional media narratives. This is very evident on X where any pro-Allen post is immediately invaded by emotional one liners saying Mahomes has the SBs or Allen will throw 4 picks next week. In fact, the X posters have a strange cognitive dissonance when they are given strong stats showing Allen’s historic statistical dominance the last 5 years. They counter with weird arguments such as “Allen has so many turnovers” and “Allen is Mr. September” or “Allen sucks in the playoffs”. When shown it’s not true they counter with something else that shows they actually don’t know themselves why Allen is worse, they’re just tied emotionally to a negative opinion. With this Allen MVP run we’re seeing old narratives begin to melt away as people realize their old opinions don’t really hold anymore. Even Chiefs fans default to “3-0 SB brah” which shows how defensive and on their heels they are about Allen and how they don’t have much else to say.

One week at a time. I see a 34-27 comeback win this Sunday.

It’s funny how every team is good until the Bills smoke them. Now they “suck” and the Bills need to beat a real team. The underlying thought is that the Bills suck so if they win, the other team must really suck!

38-10 Bills

It’s a nice PR answer with some truth to it, but people with the competitive streak of Allen are just as driven to prove the media and fans wrong about Lamar’s MVPs as he is to win a Super Bowl and dunk on Mahomes. Next on the revenge train? Put an end to this Jags owning the Bills talk.

It can be done when you remember it’s a team game. Manning never had a great defense nor a brilliant head coach. Remember Caldwell? Manning didn’t get as many lucky calls as Brady. He didn’t get bailed out as much as Brady. And Manning’s teams didn’t participate in any form of cheating or gamesmanship. It’s the media narratives that are driven so deep in our heads, we learn to distrust our own eyes and memories.

Just adds to my theory that everybody has collectively forgotten what they watched, and hasve been bombarded by the media narratives that he is the GOAT.

The cheating though… I’m sorry man I can’t. You can’t be a GOAT and be caught cheating multiple times. It seems after the Bucs Super Bowl the media blitz has been so powerful that people forgot.

Exactly right. The narrative has shifted since Brady won with the Bucs and Belichick failed with NE. But who failed is not Belichick the coach but Belichick the GM who gutted the roster over the years. Brady knew when to leave and he did. At the peak of the Pats dynasty, Belichick with the aid of cheating and gamesmanship was still one of the greatest coaching minds ever. Agree on Allen. He’s a Super Bowl run away from being seen in the light he deserves. Among the absolute greats.

The cheating. I can never get past it. The whining. The outbursts at teammates when things don’t go his way. The turtling the last 7 years of his career when a DE was close. All those 17-16 wins with the Pats the last few years there where lucky flags and shrewd coaching won games. I watched more Brady games than any other non-Bills QB the last 25 years and I’ll tell you that the best QB I ever saw was PEYTON MANNING. And it wasn’t close.

Explains the Mahomes passing chart from last week.

Which unfortunately cheapens the award.

It all really depends on how Elam, Bishop, and Edwards progress through the year. If they grow nicely, we can let Rasul go and have a solid DB room.
