90sBills

When he made his ‘more focus than ever’ comments after the Cincy game I thought it sounded hollow. But after such a tough season last year the team deserved an offseason to reset so I was holding out hope that he’d follow through with his words. Then all offseason we didn’t hear any reports of him working on anything football related. And after this first game I’ve come to see that there’s validity in criticisms of him not doing the extra work to get better. As for seeking Brady’s advice I’ve read that Mahomes and Burrow do that. I don’t how much Brady shares but it shows that those two guys are trying to pick the goat’s brain at least.

I thought he was humbled in the Cincy game. He said all the right things afterwards. He promised to be committed to the game in the offseason. Then did this in his first game against a team that lost its savior and was waiting to be finished off. How much more humbling does he need?

Kincaid was open on Allen’s 3rd int. What good is scheming guys open when your qb can’t identify them and makes the wrong reads? I see this excuse a lot on here trying to discredit Mahomes. Yes Andy Reid schemes their guys open. But it would be moot if Mahomes doesn’t make the right reads. What makes him better than Allen is he makes the right reads quicker and more often. Even in their loss to Detroit Mahomes was hitting the right receivers and they just couldn’t catch. Allen was just terrible tonight. There’s no excuse for this performance from an elite qb entering his 6th season. Good news is it’s only 1 game. Can’t get any worse than this.

He doesn’t want to overindulged in watching films. He prefers to rely on his in game instincts. Unfortunately for fans his instincts are to jump over linebackers for no apparent reasons and passing up easy throws to thread the needle into the opposing db’s hands.

Breaking news: Yes those are two really good teams. Getting deja vu feelings

For all the accolades that KC’s gm gets on here from some he really whiffed on Moore when Pickens was right there. And also in ‘19 passing on DK Metcalf to pick Hardman. Can you imagine the outrage on here if Beane had done that? Yikes.

It would only be breaking news if he DOESN’T pick the Bills.

Maybe. But let’s enjoy the next 10 days crapping on them.

They’re not sniffing the #1 seed with this group of receivers. Might not even make the playoffs. 😁

I think he was so frustrated he just said f*** it 😂

Richie James So…football?

He definitely ended up in the best spot possible. With a coach that enhanced his natural abilities to maximize potential. Remember, though, the Chiefs were great in the regular season but always flamed out in the playoffs. They blew multiple #1 and #2 seeds opportunities, including one with Reid. They won 1 playoff game in 30yrs and that was with Reid/Alex Smith. Mahomes was the missing piece that took them over the top. Elite qbs and coaches are judged by playoffs success. They have the perfect combination right now.

No other franchise have Mahomes. Master chef at making chicken salad out of chicken *****.

I’ve seen quite a few posts on here completely disregarding KC like they haven’t been a major obstacle. I get what you’re saying about matchups. To me there’s something about not being able to beat a team when it really counts. Especially when Allen played a near perfect game. I was hoping for the afc championship rematch that never materialized last year for redemption. Let’s face it no matter how the Bills perform in the regular season they’re only going to be judged in the postseason. As it should be for any top tier team.

The over is a virtual lock. KC can score against anybody as long as Mahomes is pulling the trigger. Lions defense was bad last year. With CJ out for KC Goff should have plenty of time to work with. He’s terrible when pressured. I see this thing going back and forth with Detroit eventually not keeping up.

What’s also unproven is beating the Chiefs in the playoffs. Yeah coaching blunders yada yada. Fact remains 0-2 in the playoffs against that team. Until that changes they are still the biggest threat imo. Oh btw they beat those dreaded Bengals in the AFC Championship game last year. Not sure if some people know that around here. They seem to talk about the Bengals like they’re the defending champs. Smh.

Definitely. Also the loss of their safeties will have a bigger impact than most realized.

Bengals won’t win their division and might miss the playoffs completely this year.

Allen throwing passes to their guys didn’t help.

I am probably one of the few on here that can admit Mahomes is the best qb in the NFL right now. And the Chiefs have moved on from that 13 sec game and won another Super Bowl. With that said why are you on a Bills forum touting your guy over our guy in a game that obviously most Bills fans considered the team’s best chance at a championship? Why would you need to contest something like this when you’re part of a fanbase that’s sitting on 2 championships in the last five years? Seems kinda trivial don’t you think?

I know exactly what you mean. Always thought that line of thinking is nuts.

Isn’t the point of playing is to win? Wether by 1 or 50 it’s still a win. Chiefs are not unbeatable in this parity league but Mahomes seem to have that it factor that Brady had to find a way to win.

This is where I’m at with offensive talent around Allen. Diggs is a true #1. Allen has to make the others viable. How many KC receivers look like all pro with Mahomes then flopped when they go elsewhere? Hill is the only successful KC receiver after leaving for another team. Allen is very much capable of making mediocre receivers better. Hopefully we’ll see more of it this season.

I’d say it’s more true of Burrow. Bills defense hasn’t been good in the playoffs.

Oh I agree. He’s an elite player who’s a vital center piece to KC’s defense. He’s also turning 30 this year and DTs’ productions drop off drastically after 30. Creed and Trey Smith are due. Also their stud MLB and CB1. They’ve drafted really well the last few years and it’s about time to pay those guys. Not extending CJ would allows them to keep a few. However it turns out it’s great to see the champs have some turmoil! This can only help all the other AFC teams including the Bills!
