    I don’t think it’s a non-story that the Chiefs keep staying in the news for negative reasons. 
     

    This is how empires begin to collapse. Often from within. 


    Yeah one immature receiver that keeps making bad decisions and a couple of backup oline guys getting lit in the offseason will certainly derail them.

    I'm starting to hate these games...

     

    The week leading up to it, the talk is "Chiefs being disrespected" because the Bills are favored. The media heads will talk up how great Mahomes is, run on & on about how he's 3-0 against Allen in the playoffs, calling it a "must win" for both teams, blah blah blah.

     

    Then when the Bills win, the conversation immediately goes to "doesn't matter because it's not the playoffs." 😑

     

    So what was all that hype last week about then? If the Bills lose, it's proof the Chief & Mahomes >>>> Bills & Allen. If the Bills win, it's meaningless because they didn't win in the playoffs (as if they can do that in week 10).

     

    Everyone immediately shrugs us off, and the Bills get no real credit.


    ‘To the victor belong the spoils’ seems apt here.

    He does have a knack for making incredibly awkward looking but effective plays in the clutch.  I’ll give him that much.  He’s a very poor man’s Gabe Davis.


    I have noticed that about him. Hardly any clean catches even with well thrown balls. Like he has a hard time tracking it down. Can’t argue about his playoffs production though. Without him you guys wouldn’t have beaten Cincy in 2022.

    Ever heard of something called the franchise tag?  Ridiculous premise to begin with, but Allen is either playing for the bills in that time frame, or he’s joining the pga tour. 


    Guarantee if he’s good enough he’d do it in a heartbeat. Much longer career and higher earning potential with significantly less damage to the body.

    The point is the Bills would’ve won with a D that allowed 17 like the Ravens did. 27 points is too much in a physical playoff game where you have 1st & 2nd round picks allover your D-line. That should make up for injuries to the back end. It’s disgusting that McDermott hasn’t at least found a way to slow down Travis Kelce since they play him twice a year. 
     

    As far as the Patriots go, they could beat you multiple ways. Close games, shoot-outs, whatever. Must be nice to have a defense that stepped up come playoff time instead of winning the regular season award. 


    With all the injuries on defense this past game against KC they did as best they could. In the end the offense had the ball last with a chance to win. That’s really all you can hope for against a great team. 
     

    What you said about beating opponents multiple ways is as true for the Patriots then as it is for KC now. With great teams like them you just want a chance at the end with the ball. Trying to hold them with your defense while their QBs have the ball last will fail more often than not.

    I’m talking on a purely defensive effort by those teams. Baltimore lost, but only gave up 17 points. I’m referring to the juggernaut Patriots team that won 6 SBs and an insane helmet catch short of 7. Maybe not the first couple, but they were unstoppable when Brady hit his ceiling. Let’s see what Mahomes can do when his body starts breaking down and he has to play from the pocket 


    What’s the point of holding a team to 17 when you can’t score 18? Is there some kind of consolation prize for that? Like I said…Patriots won a lot of close playoffs games on their way to those 6 rings. They knew how to win close games but juggernaut they were not.

    It irks me to no end when I hear about Josh’s record against KC in the playoffs when he had the 13 seconds game all but wrapped up and never saw the field again. What’s the point of having a defensive coach if the defense isn’t winning in the post-season? This a make or break year for McDermott. Not saying he needs to win a SB, he needs to prove he can beat Kansas City in the playoffs. The Chiefs are flawed too and no where near the juggernaut that the Patriots were. We’ve seen other teams contain them like the Bengals and Ravens. 


    Cincy is 1-1 against KC and Balt is 0-1 in the playoffs so it’s not like they’re doing a lot better. If you’re talking about regular season wins then the Bills have ‘contained’ KC just as well if not better. 
     

    Most of those Patriots Super Bowl teams during their run won a lot of close playoffs games. I’m not sure which juggernaut Patriots team you’re referring to. Ironically their most dominant team didn’t win a Super Bowl.

    I know I'm jaded by the Bills failures, but it seems like in the playoffs many NFL kickers have come through in recent years with huge FGs in the biggest of moments.  and of course in our folklore we have Bass vs KC and Norwood.   All I can say about the Bass kick is that even if he made it, I was sure KC would get in range for a GW kick or even a late TD.  But the fact he missed it so badly gives me pause for his future reliability.


    Of all the guys McD brought from Carolina he couldn’t have brought Harrison Butker?

    Great. We’re splitting hairs here. Nobody put cuffs on him. He never took a ride in the back of a police car. He walked into the station on his own, went through the booking process, and walked out on his own.  The legal definition of being in custody is “when, after being arrested or convicted of a crime, they are held in jail or prison”.  https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/police-custody-lawyers.html 

     

    Again, we’re simply splitting hairs here. 

    The point is that nothing from a legal standpoint related to tours incident is going to impact what happens on the field. The league office is the real concern. Now if the worst is true regarding the nightclub situation, that could be a different story. 


    Veach seems more concerned about this than you are. They’re looking at Zay Jones today. Might have to sign him to do what Rice does on the field.
