You ignore Allen's 80+ rushing yards in the KC championship game. Even worse you ignore the D's play whch allowed the Chiefs to go up and down the field on long TD plays all game long. As far as the Bengal's game goes that was on the D to win and they fell flat on their face. The Cincy game was like the Ravens playoff game in that the weather favored a low scoring, defensive slug fest. The problem was the D didn't show up allowing the Bengal's to go on 2 long TD drives the first two times they had the ball. That put the Bills in a 14 - 0 hole they were never able to climb out of. BTW, Allen's ONE TO didn't come until late in the 4th quarter when the game was already over. And are you high to be throwing out the Houston playoff game from 2019? Allen was still improving and the O had very little talent. Again it was the D which had the lions share of the Bills best players that blew a 16 - 0 lead half way through the 3rd quarter. Why do negative people like you bother to post on a thread like this where the originator is trying to talk up our QB and team on the eve of a huge playoff game? Well generally speaking if your QB is going to get you to a Super Bowl he better be able to produce "good individual stats" in December & January. Of course that alone won't guarantee a SB berth but it's a very good start.

Well then that makes this an even worse question then it was before. It is a creative way to throw shade at Allen though.

They would add nothing to the discussion because we've already established that Allen has played great in December & January and has done all he could to get to February.

Are you asking if we can win with Allen throwing one or at most two INT's? Or are you asking if we can win if we intercept Mahomes 1 or 2 times? Because you know Allen doesn't throw a lot of INT's in the playoffs: He has 20 TD passes and only 5 INT's over 9 playoff games.

I think the data provides overwhelming evidence that Buffalo's failures to advance to a Super Bowl are not because of Allen's play but point to other factors beyond his control.

Bingo! Some posters can't B word about Allen and McD after this game so they find new ways to throw shade on the Bills.

I was sarcastically responding to statements from a couple of posters claiming that the KC game would be key to Allen's "legacy". I actually agree with you that no single game decides a player or a coaches legacy. And this holds true for next weeks Divisional Game.

I think it's a much bigger game to establish McD's legacy not Allen's.

Disagree. Let's see how healthy the D is before we start claiming this is a legacy game for Allen. Allen and the O might play great but still lose the game if the D is missing to many starters. IMO this is more of a legacy game for McD then Allen.

While the Chiefs have a much better QB the Steeler's have much better play makers then KC. I was always more afraid of Pittsburgh then KC because they play a certain way that keeps the game close so they can steal it at the end.

The 13 second Chiefs game was Allen's 2nd best. This one was on par with his spectacular game against Indy in 2020. The bottom line is Allen is stacking up a lot of great playoff games.

Do you believe that when Allen fakes a throw past the line of scrimmage they should flag him for illegal forward pass? I get that you're pissed that the Chiefs have to finally go on the road in an AFC playoff game but that was not a fake slide. Not even close to one. And to claim it was "blatant" is astonishing to me.

I vote him off the island. That was an epically bad take on his part. I've watched that tape over and over again and there wasn't even a hint of Allen faking a slide We've seen him take this run up the gut over and over again throughout his career and he ran exactly how he runs them all - using a stutter step to freeze the tackler. The fact is the safety bounced off Allen trying to make the tackle. This guy was just pissed that his Chiefs actually have to win a road playoff game in the AFC.

What impressed me the most tonight was that late in the game on two drives after the Steeler's threatened to make it a game Allen led the Bills to a FG and a TD. Those 10 points won the game and some people a lot of money. Allen was cool and collected and absolutely lethal on those two drives.

Only Lamar Jackson can match Allen as a running QB.

But it wasn't a fake slide. There is NOTHING in his juke move indicating a slide - NOTHING. His stutter step is what gave him the alley to explode through for the TD. As a Chiefs fan who must have seen Mahomes prancing along the sideline looking like he was about to step out of bounds only to gain an extra 5 - 10 yards along the sideline it takes a lot of nerve to claim Allen faked a slide on that run.

I agree. Atlanta would have been flooded by Bills fans and likely had a strong home field advantage. I think I would have made the trip down there from Cincinnati. It all comes down to tomorrow. If they can get the game in with just typical Buffalo January weather - 10 to 20 mph wind, temps in the upper teens and some flurries then the Governor made the right call. But if they can't play tomorrow and the game is pushed to Tuesday then they should have went with the dome option IMO. Yea I get that hindsight is 20/20 but that's why they pay these people the big bucks.

Nice to see Motor get to the end zone in style. Great run.

I think you have to go back to Allen's rookie year for the ONLY pick six he's ever thrown.

The way the Browns are playing defense I'll channel Lee Corso: "Not so fast my friend"!

Damn, these two pass defenses sure could use 65 MPH winds and two feet of snow!

I found this while organizing my bookmarks today. What an incredible bit of commentary form the very best NFL experts. Check out how low a dozen of these folks have Allen. IMO this is why there still is an undercurrent of hostility towards Allen. So many of these people really went out on the ledge to trash Allen before he even threw his first NFL pass. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons

That's a great injury report for early January. Both Knox & Dawkins back at full practice.

Chicken Little

Say what you will about Belichick but between him and Shula the AFL East/AFC East has had some damn fine coaching over the years.
