You do realize that Mahomes sat for a season behind Alex Smith who took that season's Chiefs team to a 10-6 record.
Oh, BTW, Andy Reid had the Chiefs in the playoffs for 4 of 5 seasons BEFORE even Mahomes got there. The Chiefs were already division winners while Mahomes sat. Must be nice to start for a playoff team. Good receivers, and a good offensive line all playoff-tested.
Lil Patty was also trained by an offensive genius who has had his team in the playoffs for 10 of his 11 seasons at KC. Reid had his former team in the SB in Philly with McNabb at QB. The man knows how to develop QBs. Also, Mahomes has had arguably the very best TE in the NFL to throw to his entire time in the NFL. Kelce was an all-pro, pro bowler BEFORE Mahomes got there too.
Meanwhile, in 2018 Josh Allen was thrown into the fire behind a crap O line with questionable receivers and an OC who wouldn't call running plays...except of course run plays for the rookie QB.
Under Andy Reid, Josh Allen would be even better than he already is! And in my opinion, he is the very best QB in the NFL today. His team is In the playoffs under a rookie OC!
You can spin it anyway you like. Mahomes is unquestionable the number one QB in the league.

I hate that the weather is gonna be a thing Sunday. It's an equalizer of sorts. Granted I'll take Allen running over Rudolph running 1000 times, but still, if it hampers our passing attack, it sucks
Agree. If the game becomes run vs run the Steelers will likely win the game. Their running game is really good. You can look at the stats for the last few games. Harris and Warren are a very good one two combo.
The Bills run game isn't bad but Cook isn't powerful enough in a run only game. Lenny can be good in this situation but who knows if he plays and how much.
The weather is setting up well for a Steeler upset. If the weather was nice I'd absolutely be on the Bills. However, with little to no passing the edge goes to the Steelers.
For those who are betting the game. Take the 10 points and run. I'm contemplating a money line bet +400 on the Steelers too.

Come playoff the McD has been disappointing.

So what. I doubt the Steelers pass game can beat the Bills.

It's playoff time. This isn't the time to trust McD. Sorry but it's true.

There is no reason to be in Nickel base defence in this game. Against Mason Rudolph in the wind and snow they will not be passing the ball. They are going to run and run over and over. I feel like it will take McD having a couple TD’s scored against him to get out of Nickel and hope it’s not too late when points will be at a premium. It’s the only way Pit can win.
Go heavy and stop the run for the win. Also absolutely no need for Von Miller out there. Use Shaq and Kingsley and secure the edges go big.
Agree. Ditch the nickel base defense and load the box.

I can't stand the hype this clown is getting...like he retired.
HE WAS FIRED!
Belicheat wants to break Don Shula's all-time win record by getting 15 more wins. I think we all see now that it was QB Tom Brady that was the force that drove that dynasty. Without Brady is he even an average NFL head coach? ...he sucks. 8-9 last year, 4-13 in 20-23. The equal of Nate Hackett. 🤪
I disagree with Allen. Mahomes has won more because of his head coach Andy Reid. Without Reid I don't see Mahomes developing like he has...btw what happened to him this season?
You do know that KC won their division and is in the playoffs?
The guy has two rings and won one of them on one leg.
I have to laugh at people who have Allen rated ahead of Mahomes.

I had a bad feeling about Monday Night going in and we were going to get killed in that game.
It’s not the spent excuse, the Bengals physically and mentally pushed the Bills around.
When I heard McDermott and Frazier talking about how they didn’t have to change much of the gameplan from the Monday Night game because you couldn’t take much away from a half quarter I knew we were going to get rocked again.
Sure enough, first drive Mixon looking like Jamal Lewis, and we’re playing 21 yards off Chase & Higgins.
We were out athleted and intimidated all day. The crowd was non-existent from the jump.
I agree 100% but that's a far cry from the out of gas excuse people want to peddle.

Thanks! I thought I would get a lot of negative feedback.

Just wondering how good do you think this team is now?
This team scares me because it's so inconsistent. They can be really good or really bad. Even during this winning streak they haven't really been too impressive.

That was no letdown. They just didn’t have anything left in the tank.
I'm not buying that for one minute John. I know many here want to buy into that narrative.
Prior to the game there was never any indication that the team was empty, had nothing left, couldn't focus, drained, life less, psychology spent, etc...
Not once did I hear, read, or see anything remotely close that indicated they had nothing left.
In fact, the narrative in many instances was a complete 180. Many were saying this was a team of destiny. Signs galore win one for Damar. Damar was at the stadium! What a boost it would give the team and fans. Frenzied home crowd advantage.
Bengals oline a shell of itself. The Bills would crush Burrow.
Where was this nothing left in the tank theory? Didn't even hear any scuttlebutt about this.
Even after the Miami game, what was the resounding theme. Gutted out a win even though they played poorly. Resilient team. Gotta play better. Nada about being flat or running out of football fuel. Not a peep. Did you hear anything? I heard was how McD was out coached. That was crystal clear.
Prior to the game please go back on this message board and find me a poster who felt like the Bills would be flat, out of gas, unable to compete, etc ... I'll save you some time. It doesn't exist because the narrative was created after the fact. After they shi! the bed
A narrative created after the fact that saw a Bengals team buzz saw through the termite infested Bills team. A coaching staff that had no game plan after getting waxed in a dress rehearsal weeks before. To this day, I have no idea what they were thinking.
McD had to create this thesis to save face. His team was clearly unprepared, outclassed, and taken to the wood shed. Dorsey was as lost as ever. Frazier was as lost as ever. McD was as lost as ever. It was utter incompetence staying us in the face. Hard to swallow after the previous year's 13 second disaster. Trust your eyes not a false narrative.
Go Bills!!!

What's the proof allen is as good as brady? BB's philosophy is to give his qb nothing on offense and spend everything on defense. Allen needed Diggs to win anything and hasn't even broken any passing record. Brady made it work with scrubs here and there only to break every passing record when he got Moss. Allen has also led the league in turnovers and has shown no clutch gene in the playoffs. If you used Mahomes as example maybe you'll have a point, but Allen? Lmao
I'll give you that Mahomes is better than Allen.
I think Allen is a top 3 QB and match that with BB and I think that's a winning combination. I never implied Allen is as good as Brady. I do believe Allen is good enough to lead a Bills team to a SB with the right coaching.
I think you are really selling BB short here. The guy is unquestionably a very smart football guy. What worked for him and Brady doesn't necessarily equate to him and Allen.
I believe BB has the ability to adapt, get Allen weapons, protection, etc ...The guy is a proven winner with 10 freaking SB appearances and winning 6 of them. Of course, the argument will be it's all Brady but that's just not the case. It was a great marriage sort of speak.
I firmly believe BB with his experience and a QB like Allen can lead the Bills to the SB within 3 years. I cannot say the same about McD.
I wouldn't mind taking a shot with the soon to be winningest coach in the NFL who owns 6 rings. Feel free to disagree.

Players from last year stated as such, that they needed the bye (1 seed). They were gassed, limped in.
Allen said this year they’re peaking at the right time.
Game play supports what the players have said.
They know more than you.
The players said all of that after they lost to Cinci. There was no such talk of that prior to the game. If so, go ahead and give me evidence of such.
In fact, one could argue the opposite narrative. The Bills were a team of destiny due to Damar making a miraculous recovery. Win it all for Damar was a common theme. It's destiny and fate wasn't uncommon to hear.
Bills playing at home!!! Huge home field advantage. Bengals oline depleted. Bills gonna smash Burrow. There was no fuc!!!!! talking of limping prior to the game.
There was no talk of being gassed even after the Miami playoff win. Listen to Allen and the rest of the Bills afterwards. They talked about being resilient, winning is all that counts, and playing better.
Not one Bills fan I know said the team looked gassed. They don't have anything in the tank. The season is basically over they are on fumes. Instead, it was a resounding theme of how the Bills were gonna smash the Bengals. A few dissenters caught hell for their differing view. Low and behold is that a common theme.
Let's talk reality rather than an alternate reality that fits your views. The limping in shiiiiit is non sense. They just get beat by a better prepared team that is a bad match up for Buffalo. Not to mention the McD game plan was horrific.
Who knows what happens in Sunday. I hope to the high heaven the Bills blowout the Steelers. If not, I'll take a win ugly. Just win!!!

This team isn’t limping in. They have experience in the latest scenario (high winds, snow, physically tough AFC North opponent, etc.). They’re as prepared as you possibly can be.
That's really yet to be determined. Your opinion is duely noted but it's just that.

That likely doesn't hurt much this game as Pittsburgh will rarely be throwing the ball and when they do the best defender will be The Hawk.
It's the opposite side of the ball that hurts. The wind can negatively effect the Bills passing game. That's where they have a clear advantage over Pitt.
Do you really want the game to come down to a running game vs Pitt? I don't. They have been on a tear running the ball and it's not like the Bills have been consistent stopping it. D Jones will help though.
IMHO, a clear weather game with minimal wind would be ideal. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen.
34 minutes ago, KellyToTasker said:No, they absolutely limped in, for the obvious reason alone.
They didn't limp in. They went on a winning straight similar to this year.

We will see. That was the same theme as last year until they lost. Then the flip of excuses suddenly appeared. Just saying...

I'm open to hearing how it's ridiculous. He is 63-75 without Brady.
My point went right over your head.
With Allen BB will likely bring the Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo.
BB + Allen = Lombardi Trophy
McD + Allen = 44% playoff record

Yeah, we're all on pins and needles seemingly. Pitt's offense is surging, ours is seemingly in regression. Allen's our primary ball carrier inside the red zone these days, again. Apart from that outlier Dallas game Allen has 254 rushing yards and 8 TDs, Cook has 328 and 0 TDs.
The big thing may very likely be whether the defense comes out as it has in McD's playoffs thus far, by playing not to lose and slacking up. That could easily cost us the game if we do that given the way that our offense is trending against below-average defenses recently. Drops included.
Also, the Bills often come out of the gates slowly. They can't afford to do this on Sunday.
The more I analyze this game the more this game scares me.

This is a game where I could see Allen's running being a bigger factor in getting the win then his throwing the ball.
Can you see Allen fumbling? I think the Steelers will have a solid plan to contain Allen. I doubt they let him beat them with his legs. Of course, Allen is great at making plays.

To be fair, if we can't beat the Steelers, we can't beat KC, Ravens/Browns or 9ers
There's always a chance of a letdown. Maybe the the team will be gassed from making the run into the playoffs. They have played 5 straight games of basically playoff football. At some point, that might take it's toll.
What happened last year vs the Bengals. The team was gassed, emotionally spent, and had nothing. Of course, that was the theme after the fact.
Lets get ahead of the narrative here.

Well, OK, but why should a head coach have to babysit an OC then?
it seems that a competent OC, even on a team with a defensive type head coach, would be doing much better with Allen & Co. Wouldn't it seem to hinge on how competent that OC actually is? And frankly, how much direction and guidance apart from constructing a playbook to play to our strengths is actually needed with Allen? Doesn't seem like much.Look at Daboll's rankings as an OC before coming here and being handed Allen. They suck. They're awful. So why did McD hire him?
Then Dorsey, whom I said was mystery meat back then and was chided. He was mystery meat and so is Brady. But the fact is that neither had any body of work or experience, so at best it's a die roll. As I've often opined, Dorsey ran the offense as if he was running it vicariously in attempting to relive his prolific days as a QB at U. Miami. The evidence supports that.
Brady may end up being the next great OC, who knows, but right now it's not trending in that direction. It's trending oppositely despite overly positive narratives.
And then there's this "complimentary football" cliche nonsense, that for us anyway appears to be the offense supporting the defense. But what if our D collapses again and goes into fear mode and play not to lose mode in the playoffs? Isn't that why we've lost our later round playoff games to any team seeded better than 5th? It seems to be.
We have Josh Allen! The team should be bending over backwards to protect him and get him receiving options, something that they haven't even significantly approached doing until this past offseason, McD's sixth. Meanwhile, the incessant crying over not having adequate WRs ...
Is it not possible that McD refuses to hire a highly competent OC because he realizes that if the offense then outshines the defense, and yet we continue to fail to progress into the later rounds of the playoffs, that there's a chance he would get fired and replaced by that OC? There's obviously a chance of that, if we had such an OC. But none of the guys he's selected are that good. How many seasons should Brady be given to find out there?
Meanwhile, Allen, as you reasonably said, or at least implied, is "struggling with his mental state." Why wouldn't he be. What is unreasonable is expecting consistency from season to season under those circumstances. What he's having to go through, all because McD is a "defensive minded coach," isn't reasonable.
It's also holding the team back. We've averaged the fewest PPG that we have over the past three seasons. It's been the lowest under Brady. Anyone can argue as they may, but that's a fact, and that's even with those two explosive games against the Jets and Dallas, and Philly even to kick things off for him. We've averaged 24.6 offensive PPG under him. Before this season began, I was thinking that we may hit 34 PPG which was actually supported by Allen's statements of what he was expecting from himself and the offense in some non-official interview somewhere. He estimated over 5,000 passing yards for himself, the strongest-armed QB in the league. Is that unreasonable? Hardly. Yet, he's averaging 244 passing YPG under Brady, a 17-game season pace of 4,148 passing yards and 1.4 passing TDs. That would have placed him at 8th between Love and Stroud for yards, and 11th tied with Stafford and Jackson for passing TDs, and one behind Carr and one ahead of Stroud, and the only one of them that played all 17 games was Carr. So it's not just me.
At the end of the day it's on this coaching staff, presumably led by McD, but obviously it won't be if things don't go our way, to make whatever adjustments we need to make for this game to beat the Steelers. If we can't, expect more illogical changes and scapegoating and avoidance of the real issue(s), and what, yet another OC for Allen in as many years going into his fourth season. Yeah, that would be great for his development. If it goes right, great. We'll all be happy. But going right means a first. Will we see a first under McD in his 7th season? Let's hope so.
GO BILLS!!!
Coaching is the most glaring reason why the Bills haven't reaching the SB under McD. No need to go back game by game to illustrate and support this claim. It's there for all of us to see. The only question is do you want see it, ignore it, or excuse it?
I suspect Tomlin and the Steelers will out plan, out coach, out adjust the Bills.
Hopefully, the Bills talent prevails over the inferior Steelers.

most overrated HC ever. Brady covered up his horrid drafting, and now that Brady is gone, you see what Bellicheat really is. Also lost in his "SB wins" is the fact that 2 of them are due to the other coaches imploding (ATL and Seattle), and the ones he lost and should have won (vs. Giants).
Now, NE needs a new HC, DC, GM, etc. Will be interesting. Hopefully they stay irrelevant for a long time.

Put your feelings aside here. BB knows how to win! He's the GOAT! He'd bring immediate credibility to being a winner would instantly be felt in the locker one. Six Lombardi's and 10 SB appearances doesn't grow on trees.
BB still has it. All he needs is a QB. BB+Allen=Lombardi Trophy. Can you say the same about McD? No no no no no and no. Six or seven years and counting with jack shi!
This is a no brainier in my eyes. Only question is an offensive coordinator. Maybe McDaniels?
