Chiefs' fan here. Looking forward to the game.
I respect the heck of the Bills and the Bills' fans. The Bills are a great team and have had a great year.
The Chiefs are also a good/great team and they have also had a great year. Unfortunately, one of our squads years comes to an end this Sunday.
In the first matchup, Bills were pretty banged up and missing some key guys. It is foolish not to acknowledge that. Injuries are part of the game, but there are starters and backups for a reason.
I was hoping the Bills would be the matchup, not because the Bills are a lesser team than the Ravens, but because the Chiefs should match up well with them. Strength against strength.
Chiefs lost their All Pro Right tackle after that game and the starting running back is injured, but should play. All in all, there are many of the same pieces on each of the teams, but these are two different teams from earlier this year.
I think the Chiefs pull it out, but won't be surprised if the Bills win the game. Anyone who watched the Steelers knew they were a trash team that cleaned up on an easy schedule. Heck, the entire AFC North put three teams in the playoffs because they got to play the NFC East. The Ravens seemed to be getting hot, but playoff Lamar isn't a real threat. The Browns were only a threat when Mahomes went down. The Colts had Rivers and the Titans had a pour defense and an offense that had to run through Henry. So, it makes sense that the Chiefs and Bills are facing off in this game.
I underestimated Allen, honestly. He has done really, really well. Early on, it may have looked like the Chiefs robbed the Bills to get Mahomes. Now, it looks pretty even. And, if Allen backs up his improvement with another good year and a Super Bowl Trophy, then the Bills won that trade.
Oh, and I know you guys hate Hill. One little note here. He didn't do what he plead guilty to in college. I know he plead guilty. He was also a broke college kid who was advised by his attorney to plead guilty. And, he currently has custody of his kids. The state gave his kids to him instead of the crazy baby momma that recorded him. One other thing. She accused him of hitting her when he broke up with her in college. This whole dustup happened because Hill told her that he wasn't going to keep supporting her family and friends. The recording was blackmail.
Don't get me wrong, he isn't a saint. But, much of what people think about him just isn't factual. The Chiefs cut Hunt because he kicked a woman and lied to them. They traded Marcus Peters because he was a lockeroom issue. They will give guys second chances, but they don't hold onto guys that are problems.
One final thing: If you guys win this weekend, I hope you win the Super Bowl. Your fanbase deserves it and I know a lot of great Bills fans. And, if the Chiefs aren't getting another chip, then I would love to see Mitch Morse grab one. He is a super good dude and deserves one.
I'm sure I will get flamed. I didn't come here to talk smack. I figured there is a lot of BS going back and forth between Bills and Chiefs fans. I think both fanbases have a lot to be proud of and happy about.
