Billl

I never said that Mahomes was the only reason. It’s obviously not. What I did say is that Mahomes hits that throw, and you know that to be true which is why you chose to argue against something I didn’t say instead of what I did. Buffalo’s coaching dialed up a play that got two WRs open and a huge pocket from which to throw. The rest was up to Josh. Look at the picture. It was right there. The question I was asked wasn’t whether or not Josh is a great QB. He is, and I’ve said before that if he retired today I think he deserves to be in the HOF. The question is whether I thought Mahomes would have won that game, and you’d be crazy to think otherwise. He’s won 17 straight one-score games and made it to at least the AFCCG every season he’s been the starter. You don’t do that by accident. Even Bills fans have repeatedly said that, even if Josh hits that throw, the Chiefs would have driven down to score. They’re probably right. Meanwhile Josh has had the ball in his hands with the season on the line two years in a row and has come away with 0 points. So to answer the question of who I think wins the game, give me the guy who has been to 5 Super Bowls over the guy who has never been. Give me the guy who scored with 13 seconds left and then ripped down the field for a TD in OT. Give me the guy who is 4-0 head to head when it matters over the guy who is 0-4. You’re welcome to disagree, but he asked me a question and I answered it.

Mahomes, and there’s no question. There’s a reason the Chiefs have won 17 straight one-score games. It’s because he doesn’t miss this throw. The man is a killer.

The last 2 times the Chiefs have played the Bills in the playoffs there have been a total of 9 fumbles. The Bills got the ball all 9 times. If the Chiefs had come away with the ball all 9 times, they’d have won by a combined 50 points. Instead, the Chiefs defense didn’t force a single turnover in either game yet Mahomes found a way to win both of them.

In his defense, those guys have more time to work out in the offseason that he does.

I’ve worked in the industry my whole life and can tell you with 100% certainty that you are wrong. It isn’t even uncommon for an insurance company to pay certain claims simply because its cheaper than fighting it even if the other party has a flimsy case at best.

I’ll never understand why so many people think playing dumb is an impressive strategy in a conversation. That and the absurd notion that the victim acting rationally in the aftermath of a sexual assault is somehow evidence that said assault therefore must not have occurred seems to be the go-to strategy of those looking to discount the victim’s story. ”I mean, if she was really assaulted, why did she wait until her attacker had something to lose before filing a civil suit?” Like really? They genuinely don’t know the answer to their own question? I find that very hard to believe. Look I completely understand that fans want to speak his innocence into existence, but this is a really bad way of going about it. I have no idea whether Hairston is guilty or not, but rational behavior by the alleged victim in terms of when a civil suit was filed is in no way evidence that she’s lying.

It’s about as credible as an accusation can be without any concrete evidence. She did everything that could possibly have been done in the immediate aftermath, and she has continued to speak out about it for years since then. Doesn’t mean it happened, but this doesn’t sound like a money grab to me.

The 2022 team was easily the best roster of the Josh Allen era. That team had an elite QB, pass rusher, WR, and Safeties. 2025 should have a much better OL that team, but I don’t see them being elite anywhere else other than QB.

This didn’t pop up years after the fact. She reported it to the police immediately.

So there’s exactly one team who should realistically expect to make the Super Bowl?

It’s always the ones you most suspect.

If Josh pulled an Andrew Luck tomorrow and stepped away from the game, I’d still vote for him to get in were I a voter. I don’t think he would get enough votes to get in, but it’s certainly possible.

Was there ever a year under Kelly when the Bills were arguably the best team in the AFC but didn’t make the Super Bowl or at least the AFCCG?

There’s really no reason to have a strong opinion on Coleman at this point. He looked like a nice player the first half of the season, then he stunk when he returned from injury. It’s impossible to say for certain what that means for the rest of his career in terms of overall success. There are a few things you can glean from his season, though. He’s clearly capable of making big plays, but unless he figures out how to create separation, he’s not going to be the guy you can count on when you need a play the way you could with Diggs or even Beasley. When you only get 4 targets a game and still have a catch rate of 50%, you’re much more of a complementary piece than a featured receiver.
