Thats fair. Look at the CBs the Bills have.
Film shows he can play. Needs reps.
Overrated how? He’s one of the best at not allowing separation. One of the best in the NFL.
Teams completion rate against him is almost 70% this year. He takes a fair amount of penalties and he’s always in and out of the lineup.

He got cooked in the Jags game. He wasn’t right most of the year. Coaches and teammates talked about what he was dealing with injury wise.
But please stop saying he’s bad because Benford is better. Benford is one of the best CBs in the NFL. Dane Jackson is a pro. He started a lot of games for McDermott. He trusted him. Elam is a player the Bills have to find out about. He has definitely been inconsistent, I won’t argue against that. But he hasn’t been all bad.
Benford is not close to one of the best CBs in the NFL.
Despite Elams struggles and very limited time on the field he may have made more impact plays then Dane and Benford. At this point I don’t see him getting much playing time here moving forward. McD gonna go with the player who is better between the ears than the most physically gifted almost every time. Look at Klien and Williams in the playoffs

Benford might be the most overrated player on this team amongst fans. But that’s normal, Bills fans fall in love with average play from a late round pick

The only problem I have with Knox’s contract is they drafted a better player at his position less than a calendar year later. At one point it seemed Knox was on the rise but Kincaid basically put a stop to that. Beane and his luxury picks. Bad situation that began with bad management

As Diggs says he can't control his brother and it's obvious the brother wants him in Dallas. It doesn't mean Stefon wants the same thing. Personally I think Diggs got painted with a bad guy brush in the Minnesota media perhaps because he voiced displeasure there and now people want to continue the story here in Buffalo but don't think it's happening. Yet Diggs know he ultimately can't control the media's narratives and just gives them indirect answers to their questions.
Diggs dodging those questions about his brother is why this is still a topic. Funny how last week when he was on Kay Adams and she was asking about the trade rumours he seemed pretty open about leaving. “Where there is smoke there is fire”. Those were his words, but we not suppose to believe his brother bull####. Come on. Dude wants out but doesn’t want to be labeled a cry baby for the second time.

That's certainly fair. But in general, the Bills D has let the team down in the playoffs. They haven't played like their regular season ranking.
I think their ranking is often inflated by how well our offense does, and Allen keeping them off the field for large portions of a game. This past season, I saw them as a true top 5 defense, and even top 3. But losing so many players obviously changed that by the time we played KC.
Also seen them as the worst D in the league from mid October to end of November

Mahomes has played six NFL seasons. He's led a team that was literally nothing before he arrived to six straight AFC championship games. The Chiefs have hosted five of them. They've won four of them. They've had three Super Bowl wins. Mahomes is a two-time league MVP, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, a multi-time All Pro. His Chiefs have beaten Allen's Bills all three meetings in the playoffs, two home and one road. He's 15-3 in the postseason with 5,135 yards, 41 TDs and 8 INTs. His playoff losses have been to Brady twice (once in OT) and another OT game. He's rallied his team from 10-point deficits in three different Super Bowls. He's led a 24-point playoff rally and is 7-for-7 rallying a trailing team to a score inside 1 minute in playoff games. He's led his team down the field in 30 seconds to force OT in one playoff game and in 13 seconds to win another. He's won two Super Bowls with league-average defenses and another with the worst collection of receivers in the league.
Josh Allen is 5-5 career in the playoffs. He's beaten the likes of Skylar Thompson, Mason Rudolph, fossil Phillip Rivers, Mac Jones and playoff choker Lamar.
Your statement has no basis in fact. Your projection going forward ignores a six-year sample size.
Josh Allen took a team that snuck into playoffs with a 9-7 record after a 17 year draught. When his first time HC took over they pretty much stripped the O down to the bare minimum, built his D then drafted Josh. He took them to the playoffs his second year and the been a contender ever since and probably KCs biggest challenge over the past 4 seasons. Two great QBs drafted to two totally different situations. Mahommes the missing link of an already solid football team, Allen the answer to two decades of sorrow

They won two division titles in five years with Alex Smith, missed the playoffs once, and lost playoff games to a team that didn't score a single TD and another playoff game to Marcus Mariota who caught a TD pass from Marcus Mariota. Playoff record with Alex Smith: 1-4.
Playoff record with Mahomes: 15-3 and three Super Bowls wins.
Hmm.
So they were in the playoffs 4 out of 5 years and won their division twice kind of nothing…. Oh yeah that ***** terrible. 😂
Holy *****, probably the dumbest ***** I read on this board in years

Every other 2 time winner is in the HOF
Bruce Nolan agrees with you
He ranks the priorities for MVP voters in the following order:
#1- Most wins in Conference
#2- Most wins head to head against other MVP candidates
#3- QB efficiency
#4- Raw stats
7 years in a row that the MVP winner has been the best team in the AFC or NFC record wise.
Top two got nothing to do with individual play which makes the reasoning so *****. Who does most for his team should be top of the list. The NFL is ***** anyway.
I seen an interview today where the reporter asked Josh if the Pro Bowl was lame and he just kind of hummed and hawed and kind of dodged the question. Thought it was pretty funny

Really have to normalize the data to fully understand the comparison (click below). I dont think anyone would argue that Lamar isnt on Mahomes or Allen's level, but he isnt as far off as the raw data originally posted would have you think. He is on par with both Mahomes and Josh when it comes to total yards, the issue is the high number of interceptions in comparison to his average touchdown output. Josh and Pat are nearly identical when it comes to averages, but Id argue where the difference shows up is when it comes to being clutch. Brady was better than Pat in head to heads, Mahomes is better than Allen.
Lamar is a fine quarterback. He sells a lot of jerseys.
Here’s the thing, you’re going by wins and losses but is Josh really letting his team down in clutch situations? He puts them ahead or in position to tie a lot, it’s not his fault they seem to ***** it up when he walks off the field.

Agree...McD has shown the ability to do more with less on D up until the postseason and then it never seems to matter how good they are, they always crap the bed against quality offenses.
Allen needs weapons so the games don't have to be so close in those situations.
Until the post season and the final 2 minutes of games

Why are the Chiefs able to have Mahomes, Kelce, Jones etc but they’re not in “salary cap hell”
I don’t get it
They play their rookies instead of bringing in vets that will keep them on the bench.

I don’t give a ***** about the backup because if Josh goes down no one is taking this team anywhere. No sense climbing up the draft board only to lose anyway. If you need a guy for a couple games it’s more important that the other 10 do a better job just so the backup isn’t asked to do much

mcdermott took a young roster and had it grow. a bunch of lesser known talents, unknowns, and a raw prospects develop - Poyer, Hyde, several OL, Milano, Wallace/Jackson/others. Allen panned out, Knox had a few solid years.
Campbell took many blue chip players and really struck gold after decades of missing with that franchise.
I think that is something to include in the conversation but just not sure where it fits.
This is what I find weird. A lot of those players that were forced to play early developed into the backbone of this team. Now it’s like a lot of young players are taken from the field the minute they make a mistake. Look at the dline, they draft guys then sign vets to do the job. Continue bringing back guys that no other team wants because they are familiar with the system. Let them play early and learn from their mistakes like when McD was hired. Late in the season you’ll have a good idea who they are. Look at Williams, they went to Kline who had no chance in hell on doing a solid job because of what’s between the ears.

Had a good laugh because I just gave a thumbs up to it always being open but I find this statement true also. I’m so confused right now

The Bills had a top 5 defense, even with all the injuries.
You mean after they went out and filled 2 of 3 holes that went down. That stretch after the Miami game they were the worst D in the league until the signed Joseph and traded for Douglas.

Yes I do. As a previous poster stated the Chiefs played the game with zero first round WRs in that game. 7-0 in the playoffs without Tyreek Hill. Seems Rams have done well, where was Kupp drafted or Nacua? Lions best receiver---where was St. Brown drafted. Where was Diggs drafted. Packers doing well without a first round wr. Our soon to be 35 year old, blindside DE had zero sacks, hes shot, hes done and he cant be cut. Shakir was really coming on the 2nd half.
So Beane drafted Gabe, Stevenson, Shakir, the kid from Florida late and few others already. Shakir looks promising but it’s the end of year two and Gabe looked promising until he seen a lot of time. You gonna roll the dice on more late round picks after previous history when you need production now. Makes sense. Good luck with that. Beane even thought Shitfield and Sharty were answers to our WR problem… Maybe they can call the Rams and see who they think can be productive on Sundays.
On top of that you have a coaching staff that thought Shitfield and Sharty were better than Shakir after seeing them in practice every day. 🤷🏼♂️

While I agree that WR is the way to go, I don't think this assessment is correct.
For example, in the 2022 Draft, Treylon Burks was drafted by Tennessee at 18. Jermaine Johnson was drafted by New York at 26 and George Karlaftis was drafted by Kansas City at 32. Both of them performed well immediately while Burks has been a disappointment.
Any position can hit immediately or bust depending on the player.
McD/Beanes history of drafting Dlineman is all I care about

Bills have a need for Dline and if they use a first round pick he’ll make an impact in 3 to 4 years. Go with the WR.

I just hope Allen can do ONE TIME what Mahomes has done practically every single time he’s in a playoff game, especially a Super Bowl - Win. Have the Bills ever won a playoff game in Allen’s era being a dog, home or away? Serious question.
There was a serious moment there in KC in 2022 that Allen did all he could. Played like a true winner. But…. Haven’t had that opportunity again, has he. That could realistically be his only shot to get one against that guy. The uber great, like Mahomes, are great because they don’t give up too many opportunities to get beat.
So in Allen’s achieving moment (a loss) Mahomes gets a FG with 13 secs left, and throws the game winning TD in OT. Mahomes didn’t exactly ***** the bed huh. He kind of ripped the hearts out of the entire city of Buffalo.
Not sure how many examples are needed to finally admit Mahomes is special special, and Allen is just special? I really don’t know. And unless one argues that Mahomes is just more physically gifted that Allen… well then, the mental disparity is even greater, which is where I stand. It’s Mahomes, then it’s Allen, then it’s everyone else. All the other factors like coaching, Kelce, players who drop (which really is hilarious considering the Chiefs lead the league in dropped passes).. fire away. But Allen is the guy that has to beat Mahomes, probably with another head coach (different conversation) and right now the gap between winning and losing against him is widening.
ONLY BRADY (2x) and BURROW HAVE BEATEN MAHOMES IN THE PLAYOFFS. He’s 15-3! And we think Josh has it in him despite never doing it. Nice argument.
Anyone think Mahomes has it easy with where he is and what he’s doing? I don’t. KC is a circus.
Mahomes is other worldly mentally, and Josh isn’t.
The thing about football is situations matter and different situations can make a players career a lot easier or harder . I don’t think anyone in their right mind would say Troy Aikman was better than Dan Marino but he has the hardware that says he accomplished more. Mahommes is around way better coaching and was drafted to a way better team that helped him get where he is today. Josh Allen was drafted to the complete opposite situation and the coaching is killing him in big games.
Brady and Manning is the same situation. Brady drafted to a more accomplished team with way better coaching. Though Manning could put up great numbers all season when they hit the Pats in the playoffs they could shut him down. The Chiefs haven’t really shut Allen down though, D is the root of the problem.
Mahommes is a great player in a great situation, Allen is a great player solid situation who’s coaches/gm are still making a lot of mistakes.

Not sure you're being entirely fair to either Beane or McDermott. Putting aside injuries, look at this defense Beane provided: Miller, Oliver, Rousseau, Jones, Milano, Bernard, Taron, White, Benford, Poyer, and Hyde, with reasonable depth everywhere. Plus, he hit the jackpot with Floyd and Douglas when injuries did hit.
That's three All-Pros (Miller, White, and Milano), three Pro-Bowlers (Taron, Hyde, and Poyer), and three future Pro-Bowlers (Oliver, Rousseau, and Bernard). And Jones, who might have been their defensive MVP last year. Pretty good shooting.
Now look at the injuries: White, Milano, Miller, Hyde, Bernard, Jones, Benford. They lost SEVEN key players for either long stretches or for the playoffs over the past two years. And they still fielded a reasonable defense.
They used enough resources they should field a solid D despite injuries. When ***** was going wrong early in the season did they do anything to help the O after Beanes prized WR signings ***** to bed, no they went out and did what they could to fix McDs defense. Oddly enough, despite all the injuries it was the least the Chiefs scored on them in 3 playoff games. Maybe that’s because our O held the ball for close to 2/3 of the game trying to dunk dunk down field all night long. WRs can’t get separation and when Allen makes an incredible throw they can’t catch. Not really a surprise though, a lot of us didn’t buy into Beanes ***** about Davis’s ankle holding him back the year before. Nor did we buy into a couple Jags who been tossed around the league to be the answer.
