    Bills have the biggest rest disadvantage in 2025 among playoff contenders

    Buffalo has beat KC 5 yrs in a row. They're not equivalent in accomplishments. They're more or less the same team.

     

     


    5 yrs a row in the regular season. But good on you for being able to take that stance. It’s tough to conclude a team with that many SB appearances and a team with none as more or less the same team when they have played head to head for the rights to those SB appearances, imo.

    No I said the losses to ic in the playoffs by 1-2 plays has some luck to it. And because of that you can say KC has more accomplishments, but the teams are equal. We beat them every year 

     

    Saying KC won Superbowls because of luck, as if I was saying the jets easily could've won the Superbowl like it's lottery. That's ridiculous and a silly interpretation 

     

     


    The way you structured your writing would lead readers to that interpretation. As beating the Bills have led KC to Super Bowl appearances in 3 of the 4 times they faced. 
     

    There’s always luck involved in any aspects of life, especially sports. However, it’s hard to make a case for the two teams being equal when one team has beaten the other team 4 times in elimination games and advanced to Super Bowls. ‘That’s ridiculous and a silly interpretation’ as some would say.

    Beating the same dynasty 5 years in a row, then Losing by literally 1-2 plays for basically 4 of the 5 years to the same team that's a dynasty means KC has more accomplishments. It doesn't mean they're better. If anything its about luck when it's that close 

     

    I understand it's frustrating but that's just the truth.

     

    Sometimes things just don't go your way. It doesn't mean things are wrong or a team in sports isn't great. 

     

    If anything that's why so many people are frustrated. Because the team is great and has proven to be great in many moments they just don't have the trophy....


    What’s the truth? That KC’s run of playing in the last 5 out of 6 Super Bowl is because…luck? That’s a whole lotta luck for a long period of time. 
     

    You can slice it any way you want but the bottom line is they have the trophies and experience to go along with that and Bills don’t. It doesn’t mean that the Bills aren’t a great team. My point was the Bills don’t have the playoff successes KC has. KC was able to glean from those experiences come playoff time regardless of how they played in the regular season. Bills don’t have that foundational template.
     

    Just because KC overcame their struggles in ‘23 to win the Super Bowl doesn’t give me any comfort that the current Bills could do the same. I’m hoping they will but as a betting man I wouldn’t put any money it. That’s why I don’t see this current struggle as something the ‘23, or even ‘24 Chiefs, went through.

    I mean 1-2 plays in these playoff games and the QBs are basically identical....

     

    KC in 23 also had wr issues and were te centric. 

     

     


     

    Sure on the surface it may seem that way. But KC was defending champs that year. Even though they struggled during the regular season they had that championship experience to draw from.

     

    The Bills have had playoff failures year after year. They don’t have a reservoir of playoff success to draw from. Now add on regular season struggles and it’s hard to imagine they’re thinking everything would be fine come playoff time.

    My main concern is that no one at One Bills Drive seems to understand how bad that Miami loss was. It is business as usual this week. Someone should have been fired (Joe Brady), and there should be public anger from coaches and players. Josh moped after the game. That's not what anyone wants to see. Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers would have spit fire from the podium. It was not just a loss. It was a team that got exposed and embarrassed, and they don't seem to care about it. 

     

    If they lose this week, the wheels will come off. 


    Damn. Relax. It’s a mid season divisional loss. I dropped 1K on them and I’m not even that upset. 
     

    They’re not losing this week, btw.

    I think it's fair to say he has lost a half step. The arm strength is still all there, the escapability however looks noticeably diminished. We're seeing what the offense looks like when Allen can't pull a rabbit out of a hat every time he needs to. Those unicorn plays have made it easy to ignore a lot of personnel flaws and unfortunately tricked the GM into thinking that the offense was set.

     

    We need to bake in some more normal blitz reads. Allen in the past has been his own solution shrugging off free rushers and escaping for a big play, so now that we can't count on that we have to find more traditional answers. Unfortunately it is hard to find those answers when you have zero WRs that can quickly separate. Can't be waiting 4 seconds for someone to uncover against a cover 0 blitz, like he did on the play that ended in an INT. Tyrell Shavers isn't exactly the ideal player you want to be relying on there but that's what this season has come to.


    You might be spot on with Allen losing a little bit of his foot speed. That makes it more imperative to surround him with elite pass catchers to take advantage of his arm strength.

     

    If they can’t turn it around this season it’d be such a wasted opportunity. AFC is so wide open right now.

    Your guess is as good as mine. He’s getting older and he’s absolutely essentially for any future success. Limiting as much of that as possible might be the reason?

     

    Who knows if that’s something the coaches have even asked him not to do? We’ve seen less designed runs for Josh but a large portion of his best was always scrambles. This year the scrambles are more often than not too late and getting wrapped up as he’s about to get out of the pocket or he’s extending it for a potential pass downfield. 


    The Atlanta game was the first time I noticed Allen looked slow. I’m not sure if he has lost a step or is not in the same physical shape as prior seasons but it was noticeable to me just watching on TV.
