    If you're going to be that kind on the Chiefs, you have to be just as kind to the Bills, who can claim Allen, Diggs (not this year but that could easily be a result of injury, it's hard to know), Taron Johnson and Milano as among those in the mix for All Pro mentions at their positions most years.

    Milano was injured though lol. So was his backup and his backups backup and the guy that plays next to him 😂. Really think we would’ve beat kc pretty easily with just one starting LB

    By comparison, Mahomes has 39 passing touchdowns in 17 games, which would translate to Allen passing for 23 TDs in ten games. But he has only five rushing touchdowns, which Allen has matched in seven fewer games. Mahomes' playoff rating is 106.3, mostly because he's thrown for only seven interceptions in 17 games compared to Allen's four in 10 games. 

     

    Put it all together, and I'd take Allen every time. He's more clutch and, with his legs, more dangerous. Plus, looking at Mahomes' stats, you simply have to take into account that he has mostly been throwing to not one but TWO future HOF receivers behind a much better line and with a future HOF head coach, while Allen has had Diggs and a bag of peanuts to throw to behind a sieve line and, well, McDermott as head coach. 

     

    Anyway, it doesn't matter, really. The bottom line is that Buffalo has one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. Now, if only Beane can get him receivers who can get open and catch the ball. 

    Josh has the lowest interception % in the history of the nfl playoffs of qbs that have 20+ tds…mahomes is #2

     

    pretty crazy when you factor in that 2 of those picks were 100% on the receivers and one was a meaningless late INT against cincy with the game already lost

    You are aware that Brady had Allen routinely checking down on his throws once he took over?  Something that some folks on 2BD claimed Allen would NEVER do.  The Bills seem to be moving in a different direction on offense and it's intriguing.  We saw glimpses of it during the winning streak and tough loses to the Eagles & Chiefs.  I think we all may be pleasantly surprised at this time next year.

     

     

    He actually sticks to the run when it’s working too.  Qb is really the only person showing up in the playoffs.  He’s had one bad game that I don’t think we would’ve won even if he was great

    Packers could be giving it to the Lions  hard next year… I’ll stick with Tua 

     

    Bein in the conference without mahomes is probably nice too lol I’d prefer the niners with Brock purdy being the conferences team to beat 

     

    I shouldn’t even just say mahomes cuz that chiefs defense deserves a ton of credit

    You're just going to play dumb on this and expect people to take you seriously?

    I think the answer is in between both arguments somewhere…the chiefs average a ridiculous 32 ppg in the playoffs since mahomes took over it’s not terribly surprising they score points against defenses that were good in the regular season..  I don’t think the bills are failing much worse than anyone else in their path but they certainly need to improve obviously 

     

    Its easy to be pessimistic based on the playoff h2h I can’t argue that but I think bills chiefs games are gonna be toss ups for the foreseeable future..  If we had one of Milano/bernard for that game I really think that was a likely win

    Like Joe Flacco being hot until he throws back to back pick sixes right? The bottom line is nobody believes Rudolph was the long-term answer and that includes for the 2023 season. It was only a matter of time until he turned back into a pumpkin. God help the Steelers if they go into the season with Rudolph as their 2024 starter. If the answer is Rudolph, Pickett or Trubitzky, then it is time to re-evaluate the question. 

    Flacco was a pumpkin the whole time…the dude was turning the ball over like crazy but no one was paying any attention for whatever reason.  I think he had 10 turnovers in 5 games 

     

    nobody is saying Rudolph is the long term answer lol you’re kind of changing the question there.  He was just the best qb on that roster by a long shot.  To hear people say ‘you’re lucky you didn’t see Pickett’ is absolutely laughable

    Come on Chan's do you think Rudolph is a good QB? Be honest now. It didn't matter if they had Trubitzky, Pickett or Rudolph. Steelers offense is below average. Their defense is their strength and the Bills offense handled them as they should. The Bills defense held the Steelers offense to their averages. 

    Rudolph was light years beyond trubisky and Pickett…it’s not even remotely close.  Their offense was above average with Rudolph which was the only reason they found themselves in the playoffs.  Dropped 34 on the bengals and 30 on the Seahawks who were both fighting for their playoff lives

     

    this is the kind of revisionist history about bills wins that I’m talking about lol

    Mason Rudolph had 3 TD's in 3 games, compared to Pickett's 7 TD's in 12 games, and had a passer rating of 118 compared to Pickett's 81.4, and I saw folks say the Steelers game didn't count because they "didn't have their QB," even though Pickett was healthy and Tomlin wanted to roll with Rudolph anyway.

     

    It's actually comical.

    Rudolph won that job hands down…Pickett was healthy and benched.

    This is a legitimately absurd criticism, and more evidence that this agenda has reached its zenith of inanity. That Pats team was averaging 27.2 PPG (good enough for top 6 in the league, certainly meh lmao) and they had 3 points and 2 turnovers until 4 minutes left in the third Q when the game was no longer a game (because they were down 30 points).

     

    "They couldn't even hold them under 10" is an absolutely bananaland argument.  As if any team would care that they racked up some garbage time points.

     

    Btw, the Pats had put up 21 on the Bills like 3 weeks prior.

     

    Enjoy the crusade against McD that won't matter.

    People def downplay the wins I have noticed haha that pats team was pretty good…

    my favorite recent example of this was people talkin up the Steelers offense all week leading up to our game then after we win mason rudolph got demoted back to ‘just a third stringer’ 😂
     

    Chiefs are the most clutch team I’ve ever seen it’s legitimately crazy.  Mvs can’t catch all year then he makes multiple huge catches in back to back playoff games.  They always make the big play when it matters regardless of opponent.  I don’t think good afc teams should be gutting their franchise losing close games to the chiefs in the playoffs

    Why in the world are Lions fans mad at Cambell he's taken that team that was literally bottom of the NFL all the way to a conference championship in the few years he's been there.

    To be fair it only gets harder though…people talk about it like it’s a linear thing like ‘look how good they were early in the Campbell era it’s only gonna get better from here’ but it really doesn’t work that way.

     

    draft picks get worse, schedules get harder, you start having coaches poached, opponents adjust to what you have been running.  You just can’t blow an opportunity like this one 

    Just now, Mikie2times said:

    That was no doubt a really bad call. 

     

    I figure most the communication is about him going for it and well, that's just who he is. Nothing is changing it. It's also what the analytics say is the right move. So I guess I cut him more slack over those calls even if they wouldn't have been mine. 

    I can get behind the later fourth down attempt but not taking the fg that would’ve put them up 3 scores was wild imo. If it wasn’t for that late run from the goal line I wouldn’t be as hard as him though but that was just outrageous.

    Agreed.

     

    But I assume that was Ben’s decision rather than Dan.

    You have to overrule your oc there there’s just absolutely no way that can be allowed to happen…can’t believe that’s not what everyone is focusing on haha that’s like a fundamental misunderstanding of how football works by your hc/oc 

     

    even if Goff checked into a run that’s just a huge mistake that the coaches can’t allow to happen 

     

    a lot of these horrible plays throughout history we’ve seen you can at least see where the coach was coming from(ex our fake punt was a 11 on 10 situation) but this particular call  had just no redeeming qualities lol

    It was.

     

    That being said, there is something more forgiving (in my opinion) about blowing a game by being aggressive… than by blowing a game by a mind-numbing poor kickoff decision.

    Running on the goal line late in that one and promptly wasting a timeout because of it was the most mindboggingly idiotic football decision I have ever seen in my life and it’s not even particularly close 

     

    I literally cannot contain myself commenting on posts like this to talk about that play and I really have no investment in the lions 😂. That’s how bad it was 

    2 minutes ago, Mikie2times said:

    I mean, Campbell called the game the same way as he did all season. The analytics said go and that's what he did. I agree it wasn't a move I would make, but this idea of this being his 13 seconds is a bit silly. He was completely aware of what he was doing, would do it again, and especially in the case of the first one, would have converted pretty easily.  

    Why is no one talking about the run call on the goal line after the two minute warning hahaha I feel like I’m taking crazy pills..  I was absolutely stunned by that..  if he would do that again he should be fired immediately

    Lions fans are absolutely out of their mind to be mad at Dan Campbell. Lions literally just arrived this year as a legit team. Get back to me after the Lions have been relevant for at least three seasons then we can discuss making a coaching change.

    The Campbell defenders are wild after this one…it’s not like he’s never coached a football game before lol. That decision to run on the goal line under 2 minutes to go down two scores might have been the worst coaching decision I have ever seen in my life and that’s not even an exaggeration 
     

    obviously you’re not gonna fire him but my goodness I am seething just thinking about it and I barely care about the lions 😂

  13. 11 minutes ago, Governor said:

    Yeah. It really is the scheme. It’s also undersized and when 1 guy goes down in a game, the entire defense collapses.

     

    It takes McD 2-3 weeks to adjust his defense to injuries unlike the Chiefs that just adjust on the fly in the same game. That’s not acceptable when all of your team’s resources are being spent on that side of the ball.

    I kind of empathize with him this year…if kc lost Bolton and chenal and tranquil all at once I don’t think they make it out of the first round. 
     

    it is getting a bit ‘boy who cried wolf’-like though where people were giving him the injury excuse in years past when things weren’t quite this bad

    I heard on ESPN that the Ravens have the best QB in the league.  I think Ryan Clark said that.  He also said Josh Allen is not very good.

    Who even cares honestly…most of a talking heads job is to just make some hot take to get viewership..  like that claim by Ryan Clark is objectively wrong lol

  15. I’d give mcd an injury pass this year but no other years.  One more divisional round exit or worse I’d probably move on if someone is available that they like 

     

    I don’t see a lot of teams winning in the playoff with lbs that had to cancel vacations to be available because 3 linebackers are injured lol 

  16. 5 minutes ago, billieve420 said:

    There is a fine line between playing aggressive and being dumb. With your team firmly in control take the FG and go up 3 scores. Would have been different story if team was down and trying to comeback.

    That and the run late from the goal line forcing them to burn a timeout were absolutely mindboggling awful coaching.

    There's wetting the bed which is understandable as that was Campbell's first Championship Game and then there's having uncontrollable diahera in bed which is what McD did in the 13 seconds game.

     

     

    Idk man that run call on the goal line was just  really really really really awful decision making like I can’t even fathom it lol that was a coaching failure of the highest order.

     

    if that was our team I can’t even freakin imagine what we’d be saying right now 😂 I think our perspective is skewed because we’re on the outside looking in 

     

    13 seconds we got burned by the screen pass on first down big time which is real bad but I can at least wrap my head around it. running on the goal line down two scores past the two minute warning is absolutely absurd

  17. 23 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said:

    Not even close.  I didn't like the decision to not kick the FG's but those were 50/50 calls at the time he made them.  Thirteen seconds represented a complete collapse of the Bills special teams & defensive coaching.  What Campbell did today isn't in the same ball park of coaching screw ups as McD and 13 seconds.

     

     

    I think there’s a bit of bias here because it wasn’t our team. the run call from the goal line was absolutely inexplicably horrendous coaching that really wasn’t far off that big Kelce play during 13 seconds…it honestly might have been worse 

     

    not to mention numerous blunders not taking points with a lead.  Lions really choked hard in this one.  I’d argue tonight was worse than 13 second but more diluted throughout the course of the game…lions were in complete control and straight up coughed it up with really questionable decision making throughout the night

    I like Campbell.  Seems like a good guy and a good leader.  Those 4th down decisions, though, were bad.  Still, he turned around the franchise and led the team to their best season in 50+ years.  

     

    Campbell only won something like 4 of his first 23 games and somehow didn't get fired.  Sometimes owners - and fans - need to be patient.  

    Now he’s gonna have to fight against parity though…that’s when things get really interesting

     

    i think what people are saying about mcd also applies here…going from a bad team to a good team isn’t the hard part.  Its going from a good team to a great,consistent team that’s the big struggle 

     

    there’s a long list of guys that have a big turnaround season then fade into the abyss like mcadoo and Daboll, Frank reich off the top of my head

    No but I'd trade McD for Ben Johnson in a heartbeat. 

    Johnson had one of the biggest coaching blunders of all time in this game lol. That was like Seahawks  passing from the goal line against the pats level stupid.  I would seriously reevaluate hiring him after that if I was one of the interested teams.  
     

    I think he’s a jag without an elite oline personally but he’ll likely have his chance to prove it.  I don’t very much like Campbell either though and it’s tough to tell who’s more important to the team right now 

    4 minutes ago, Low Positive said:

    Remember, we've seen Campbell with Anthony Lynn as his OC. They sucked.

    I have a feeling we’re gonna see Johnson suck also 😂. Its easy to look like an offensive mastermind with an elite oline 

     

    the oc that comes in to replace Johnson will probably have just as much success 

    wouldn’t be surprised to see the packers take back that division though regardless

    In three playoff games against the Chiefs we have given up 7.4 YPP, 7.6 YPP, and now 8.5 YPP. In those years the Chiefs offense averaged 6.3 YPP, 5.9 YPP, and 5.5 YPP, which means each of those results was well below expectations.

     

    So it is not just a problem from this year, and I'm actually kind of sick of people using injuries from this year to hand wave away multiple abysmal playoff performances from our defense under McDermott. McDermott has never found a way to even slow down the Chiefs when it counts.

     

    I don't agree with your statement that McDermott has out performed Harbaugh in the playoffs. I believe Josh Allen has vastly out performed Jackson (and Huntley) in the playoffs. I believe that Harbaugh in his first shot at the Chiefs in the playoffs did a substantially better job than McDermott has ever done against the Chiefs in the playoffs.

     

    Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have now reached the AFCCG the same number of times since entering the league together in 2018. Considering the wide gap between them as players, it is sensible to think that a gap between the head coaches is probably at least somewhat to blame for that result.

    I think some of it comes down to how the chiefs beat our defense this year for me.  They just picked on aj klein all game long.  Gotta think if Milano or Bernard was in his place things are tougher for them. 
     

    otherwise I’d probably agree more 

    past games against them im less inclined to use the injury excuse.  Missing a whole bunch of starting linebackers is a lot bigger deal then missing Micah Hyde or tre white imo.

     

    these teams are pretty much even now in talent and it shows…back in 2020 the chiefs were definitely a tier better

    There were so many times today he should have run and decided to throw a short pass when running was the right call imo.  It's like he completely forgets what worked for him in the regular season.

    I feel like he’s overrated as a scrambler even which was a big eye opener for me today…he’s like that rb that dances around trying to turn every carry into a home run ball which cost them a lot of crucial yards
