  1. The “he wouldn’t be as good in Buffalo as he is in KC” trope is the stupidest argument Bills fans make to help themselves feel better.

     

    Mahomes would absolutely be as good as he is. 
     

    Andy Reid is a great coach. Great offensive mind. No question about it.

     

    But Andy Reid doesn’t you know, play the position.

     

    3 Super Bowl MVP’s and 2 NFL MVP’s aren’t because of Andy Reid.

     

    And then people saying Josh is actually better than Mahomes is. Thats a serious LOL.
     

    What an absolute crock of ***** some of you feed yourselves.

     Cook was 3rd in yards from scrimmage for all running backs. What else needs to be said?

    Has terrible hands. Drops passes he should catch. Dropped 2 easy game changing TD’s this year.

     

    Has a bad habit of fumbling.

     

    I mean, we could go on if you really want.

     

    But if he can rectify those things, then ya. Not much else needs to be said.

    From a KC fan point of view, 13 Seconds has to be the worse loss. 

     

    - The Bills had no stigma surounding any postseason failures, no monkeys on anyones back yet.  They were operating at peak Josh Allen power...a passing and running force, again...not reigned in or governed down.  Full throttle.  

     

    -  The Bengals beat the Chiefs the following week but that Bengals team wouldn't have beaten the Bills in an AFCCG in Buffalo that year.  KC was up big at the half in that AFCCG and it took Mahomes worst half of football to get that game to OT.  Bills would win that game 8/10 times if it were played.

     

    -  The Rams were one dimensional passing team, and a two star defense (Ramsey and Donald) that could be had be elite teams.  I have no doubt that would have been a Bills SB win that year.

     

    You could argue that the Niners this year, aren't a particularly great Super Bowl team and that the Bills would have a great shot if they were in it.  I wouldn't try and argue otherwise, but I would argue that the Bills AT Ravens would be a difficult game for this years Bills.  With the monkey on the back, with the stigma of being a road playoff game, and the Ravens probably being a really tough matchup for the Bills (as they were for everyone this year)  If the Bills had gotten past KC, I think the Ravens would have had an easy time with the Bills depleted Bills LB corp.  Totally different set up than hosting Cincy in 2021 would have been.

     

    The Chiefs were only ONE Mahomes Lombardi in to that point.  They'd only been to 3 AFC title games, 2 SB and had only come away with 1 SB title to that point.  They weren't ....for lack of a better word...."inevitable" yet.  How much different would the landscape be if the Bills had won the "13 seconds" game and went on to win a SB?  TOTALLY different.  

     

    For the near term....all the noise is going to be....can the Bills get to one?  Can they win a road playoff game?  It could have been......who will have more?  Allen or Mahomes?

     

    13 Seconds is worse because that game now compounds any failures that happen since then.

    Out of all the points of view. This is one of them.

    I have been back and watched some of his Wyoming games again since. I missed on how good his legs were. I definitely missed that in my original scouting of him. The rest? I still don't like the college film. I still see throws that are erratic at best and sail miles over receivers heads. But I will credit the recently returned for a guest appearance @thebandit27 because he and I had quite a detailed conversation pre-draft and he said the inaccuracy is not what I term "natural inaccuracy" it is a technical issue - he has an over striding problem and it throws his mechanics off and if he can get that fixed accuracy will not be a problem.

     

    After that first NFL season I remember hearing Jordan Palmer on a podcast say of his work with Josh "we are focussing on his lower half mechanics we think the inconsistent accuracy is caused by a slight over striding that throws the sync between his feet and his upper body off." So Bandit nailed it. There were a few who liked Josh Allen quite a bit but Bandit was the only one I remember here (and frankly I don't remember any of the main talking heads saying it at the time either although I've heard a couple refer to it since) who correctly diagnosed the one critical element that was going to make or break it for Josh. 

    This is nice considering your post in the original thread was a gigantic yikes.

    There wasn't universal unhappiness or universal happiness.  

     

    The situation was this:   The Bills hadn't had a good quarterback since Kelly retired - 20 years.   The one year they had a top 10 pick, the only guys arguably good enough to go in the first round were EJ Manuel and Geno Smith.   Bills took Manuel, and the pain continued.  

     

    So, finally, by virtue of a lousy finish and a trade up, the Bills had, I think, the 12th pick in a draft that had four guys deemed to be true first-round talent, plus Lamar Jackson, who was intriguing but not rated that highly.  So, Bills fans had a lot invested in who the team would draft.  The question really was, who would be left at 12?  As the draft approached, it seemed the Browns were going to take Mayfield, the Giants were going to go running back, the Jets would take Darnold, and probably one of the two Joshes would fall to the Bills at 12.  Everyone had a favorite between those two, and of course everyone hoped that some miracle would happen and Mayfield or Darnold would fall.   

     

    It was the most important draft for the Bills in 20 years.   (Well, if the Bills hadn't traded up for JP Losman and just sat tight, the next year Aaron Rodgers would have fallen in their laps, so that was a pretty important draft decision.)   

     

    And then Beane traded up to get to #7.  Mayfield and Darnold were gone, but now Beane had his pick between Allen and Rosen.  The suspense for a few minutes was agonizing.  Who would it be?

     

    Going into the draft, if I had to choose, I'd always said I'd take Rosen.   Then, literally as the Commish walked to the podium, I thought, "Allen.  Allen!  ALLEN!!!"   I wanted the body and the arm over Rosen's supposed brain.  So, I was smiling that night.  

    It was probably 80% unhappiness. Just look through that old thread. So if 80% isn’t universal, you may be technically correct. Even through you’re not.

    This kind of stuff is so silly imo. The fact that this is an actual thing an adult person is contemplating makes me kinda sad to be honest. 
     

    You have some crummy humans, you have better than crummy humans, you have some great humans. 
     

    You think somehow we just happened by the best of the best regionally here in Buffalo? Ridiculous. 
     

    All fandoms have the good and the bad. Same as any group including human beings. 
     

    There’s no best. There’s no hierarchy. We all like a thing and that’s that. The fact that I have to even write this down is icky. 
     

    Also, I have a hard time believing the OP about ho many instances there were of bad Bills fans behavior. KC fans have become worse than Pats fans in the arrogant a-hole percentage and that’s saying a lot. I would imagine many if not all of them were egged on in some capacity. 
     

    Just another guy that moved away from Buffalo trying to look cooler than he is, imo. 

    Ya but did you see my post? TL;DR
