Nah, he doesn't really expect the NFL to move the game to fit Mahomes' schedule, that would bring rioting in the streets for the countless other teams that had to play through injury. He just wants to see the best 2 young QB's battle it out, as most of America would prefer to see.

I don't care who's running the show, but whoever it is, make damn sure to do whatever it takes to draft a big, fata** DT that can clog the middle, and then draft every decent RB available lol

I don't even have to read the responses, you're just right. Allen even stated how comfortable he is & how much control he has when throwing while playing in a dome. And it's painfully obvious our offense just doesn't play well in the conditions, especially now that we don't have a dynamic back to pound the ball. Either that, or Allen gets nervous playing in front of fans & falters under the pressure.

Wait, what? He mentions them & show their "ritual" damn near every time the bet is brought up on TV! They can't possibly feel slighted by that lol

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The modern greats like Smith, Thomas, Kelly, Reed, Bennett, Talley, Tasker, etc. are highly regarded, all-timers to us Bills fans. Even though they were a part of teams that lost 4 straight Super Bowls, Bills fans have worn that like a badge of honor. Those are the "glory days," with the rest of our history being that of failures, soul crushing plays like the Music City "Miracle," and getting smacked around by Brady & the Pats for 2 decades. We're the only AFCE team with 0 x Super Bowl wins. We had the longest active playoff drought in North American Sports. Our best player was our punter for years. Now, we're faced with a team that is competing for a Super Bowl win. It's something we've all dreamed of, but never seemed obtainable. IF it happens, it almost feels like everything I've honored as a Bills fan gets thrown on its head. The little man syndrome, Bills PTSD, and the underdog pride kinda goes out the window. We'd be the reigning Super Bowl champs. We'd be front-runners. The team's legends are now eclipsed. Allen leapfrogs Kelly. The former greats with no rings who represented us are no longer our identity. People won't be shocked to see me in Texas wearing Bills gear. I already get questions this year about "were you always a Bills fan?" or comments like "funny to see Bills fans coming out of the shadows!" even though I've always been wearing them... Which leads to the inevitable influx of new fans, a new generation of front runner kids who are drawn to the team...something unimaginable just a few years ago. Simply put, the entire legacy of the franchise changes in the minds of those on the outside. Will you guys feel different being fans of the frontrunner team, the reigning champs? Will the new guys be elevated above the current legends in your mind? I think the common response would be "I'll always appreciate what they did, nothing will replace them" but will it feel weird having Allen & Co. leapfrog them in terms of success? I hate to admit it, but it feels weird to me! Not used to this kind of attention & spotlight on the team, and I'd always be thankful for the success the legends brought to us in the 90's, but after a Bills SB win (fingers crossed), history will look back & shine attention on THIS group first & foremost, not the previous one. We will be the team that gets every opponent's best shot. It's a foreign dynamic that doesn't feel real. We haven't reached that point yet, but we're eerily close. Here's hoping we get to experience it 😁

Not really. With Reid as their coach & the weapons they have, I think they'll be confident regardless. Like I said, it's an advantage to have Mahomes, but they're not going to suddenly be worried. They're professionals, they're the defending SB champions. We're in their house. You think these grown ass men are going to suddenly be worried they're going to lose now? Hell no. They think they're going to win each & every game.

Tbf, I heard more Josh Allen MVP discussion during the broadcast than Jackson. Anything related to MVP + Jackson was in regards to him being the reigning MVP.

They didn't need Mahomes much last time they played us. Of course it'd be better for them if he did play, but I don't think him being out just means the Chiefs will suddenly be worried. I'm sure McDermott will prepare the team as if he's playing anyway. Hopefully Frasier has something planned to stop Kelce & that run game.

I'm happiest about the win, but wish we could have a complete game. Hopefully next week is where we put it all together. Josh in the elements isn't at his best, so hoping wherever we play the weather is conducive to a productive passing game 😁

How bout that defense now? They were so damn impressive.

I don't care what anyone says, I want this to happen just for the memes that will live on for eternity.

If this were the regular season, the Bills would've been up several TD's by now, but Allen has been playing tight & missing open looks. Then again, Harbaugh is undefeated on the road in the playoffs, so he could just have some satanic juju working in his favor 😂

Get this man a dome. Allen may have a strong arm, but the guy CLEARLY is a better passer without windy weather or playing in the conditions.

This is brutal to watch. Getting EVERYTHING you want from the defense, even having the NFL's best kicker go 0/2 on FG's...and suddenly our QB looks inaccurate as hell on deep balls Is it too much to ask for one complete game in the post season? Lol I feel like the post season pressure is really getting to them

Should've been 10-0, but Allen is playing a little tight. Deep ball is way off tonight. Can't keep doing nothing with it when our defense is actually doing their job.

All I can say is I've feel the same way, down to the stressors and trying to psych myself out of being so passionate about the Bills at times (after the Cowboys MNF loss years ago, I wanted so bad to hate this team but couldn't). So no, you're not alone. Just try not to get worked up if we lose. I know it's easier said than done, but at the end of the day, it's just football. The Bills have historically had some really s*** luck, and if it happens again, just chalk it up to being a Bills fan. It almost seems like it wouldn't be the Bills if they became a front-runner, SB winning team all of a sudden 🤣

Pretty good analysis, not gonna lie. I don't watch enough of the Ravens to really breakdown many weaknesses, I'm just hoping we can shore up our own. But did Star pick the worst season to sit out 😂 I'm still annoyed how far our run defense has dropped off without him helping plug up the middle. Turns out he was probably worth the money after all lol

27-17 Ravens Fingers crossed my guess jinxes them!

Cleveland & Buffalo winning their first playoff games in decades, what a cool time to be an NFL fan. Chiefs & Ravens don't need it anymore, time for a Browns/Bills AFCC!

C'mon Browns, let him get a 1st down so he can get to 70 attempts!

I dunno… I'd give that award to Big Ben before Baker. That nose on Roethlisberger... it seemingly gets bigger every time I see him.

Tbf, the way they've played today, he very well could've f'd that up with another turnover lol

Guess he was due another INT....60 attempts is a lot on an old man.

Ben's about to hit 60 attempts, but can he hit 70? We'll see!

Cleveland not gonna lose, they were just giving Steelers fans some hope before crushing it again.
