Statistics are part of the reason why coaches go for it in certain situations but personality has to be a bigger factor. Obviously the best example of this is when Ron Rivera started going for it more often in Carolina because his job was on the line so he took a riskier approach. MVP is based off numbers but it also has the element of winning. Allen's numbers were similar to last year's but he wasn't even in the conversation for MVP. In fact just off the top of my head the last 4 MVPs (Mahomes, Jackson, Rodgers x2) were the QB of the team with the 1 seed in the playoffs. Brady before that too. Numbers are not everything.

So the league manipulates outcomes for what end? If you think that an owner like Jerry Jones is okay with his team losing for 2 decades because it's part of a greater plan then you are crazy.

Good matchups if Rams win: Cardinals 49ers Cowboys Bills Think they'd eliminate Dallas (they started last year). 49ers seem to be the pick for me. Division game and NFC Championship rematch Good matchups if Bengals win: Chiefs Browns (maybe?) Ravens (Lamar would be back?) Think they'd go with the Chiefs.

They hit Mahomes. That is the difference. Make no mistake about it: the D-Line is what screwed the Bills last week. Could have easily stopped the Cheifs their first 2 drives with wrapping him up, instead they let him run. I will also say there are always fluke plays that happen. Last week the ball was tipped once and hit the ground a second too early. When players put their hands up Mahomes waited last week. This week tipped ball get intercepted because a defender put his hands up.

I don't disagree which is why I put very good. I look at him in the same way I look at Murray, Stafford, and Prescott. They are all good but something is holding them back from being in that upper tier.

That's crazy you'd think he would accept money over attention

Well that's the crazy part. If Brady retires and Rodgers goes to the AFC.... the best 4 QBs in the NFC are Murray, Prescott and Stafford and Wilson. You could be looking at the AFC having the best 5 QBs and 7 of the best 10 overall imo

The AFC is going to be so difficult to win going forward. With Mahomes, Allen, Burrows, Herbert and Jackson potentially being playoff opponents every year (that's not including the possibility of Rodgers coming to the AFC or Lawrence/Jones becoming good). It could potentially be a Slugfest. You could have an AFC playoff picture that has: Allen, Burrows, Herbert, Jackson, Rodgers, Mahomes and Carr in next year and you are going to have to beat 2 maybe 3 verd good/elite QBs to get into the SB.

Chiefs are losing some pieces this offseason. Every year they get a little weaker (Kelce will only be elite for so long). This is just disappointing because I think the Bills win this game going away. I also agree with the poster who said the Bills win last week with Tre White.

That sucks. I think Jim is a good coach

I think the Bills would have beat the Bengals

If the Chiefs go down and score a TD the rules will be changed

Bills play scared defensively. They never leave the 2 deep zone drive. Dumb

Damn... Reid not taking that FG at the end of the first half! It would be hilarious if that came back to bite them

The major thing I notice about the Bengals that the Bills screwed up last week is they got to Mahomes. They sacked him. Mahomes did all those crazy runs behind the line and then threw a completion or ran. Bengals have sacked him. Hoping the Bills Pass Rushers are better next year

He didn't get aTD in 13 seconds Champ but thanks for adding

Chiefs are going to win this pretty easily imo. Think only the Rams can stop them now.

Rush 1 Double every one of their WRs. You put one player (a LB) on press coverage and umbrella the other 5 dbs to prevent against deep passes. Maybe put one safety back to protect against the TD

Now that becomes tricky. Lets say that was the rule right now. Bills get the ball back and score. You realistically have to go for 2 because you can't risk giving the ball back to the Chiefs and the entire game comes down to that. Imo: Each team gets one possession to score. If both teams score it goes to a Hockey Shootout type. Start at the 2 yard line and see who scores (only one play) and these stats don't count towards TDs or anything. Move it two yards after every successful conversion. So: Chiefs have the ball at the 2: score Bills have the ball at the 2: score Chiefs now have the ball at the 4 I honestly think it's the only way it's fair

Josh says Heads instead of Tails and we may be feeling a different kind of way right now

No that was to go up 29-26. When the Bills scored with 14 seconds left it is was 35-33. I don't agree with going for 2 on that play though. Chiefs return it and it's tied. Chiefs potentially can win with the FG.

Hire a Madden player to tell you how to manage the clock and properly defend a team with 3 TOs and has 13 seconds to get from the 25 to FG range

4 Down Territory

This needs to be a TD here. There can be no punt, no FG... TD is the only thing

So this game has to end with: Bills TD, Chiefs TD, Bills walk off FG right?
