Chiefs offense hasn't been nearly as impressive imo
Which of course is a moot point because they still have Mahomes/Kelce/Reid and now somehow a top defense....because of course ***** of course
I don't know tbh but an NFL team averages 11.998 or almost exactly 12 drives/game so if you can assume an equal distribution of drives between first half and second half (dubious proposition imo) deferring would tend to leave you with the ball on offense at the end of the first half and the other team having the ball on offense at the end of the second half
We can make those numbers say whatever we want tbh
I do think that it's relevant when they got a hold of top QB play as that's basically prerequisite for a SB
think of all the Bills comeback/4th quarter wins that didn't involve Allen doing something outrageous
Game managing QBs are not going to be bringing you back from late deficits very often. Do you blame Shanahan for overthrowing Sanders running wide open in the SB for example
also, the record of coaches being down 8+ points in the 4th quarter is generally going to suck i would imagine
I think I remember reading something about how Bills in particular were limiting how much they hit in pads during preseason/practices
But I think it's probably a league wide issue wrt cba rules...that said bills still have been pretty poor last few yrs
