Again, if you watch the video, the issue isn't whether Josh Allen has had a better career than Mahomes to this point (of course he hasnt'); it's whether a hypothetical GM, given the choice, would take JA over Mahomes for his team right now.

I'm really liking the fact that every single "expert" is picking the Chiefs, even the ones who generally like the Bills and JA, like Chris Simms. I like the Bills as the hunter instead of the hunted...Has anyone seen any national "expert" who's picking the Bills in this game?

Hear me out....I’m going to say Josh Allen... OK, flame away

He's also the league MVP, although he probably won't win it.

You're missing the point. No one is saying Josh Allen has had a better career than Mahomes to this point; he hasn't won a Super Bowl and he hasn't been league MVP, and this is only JA's first truly outstanding season. They are saying that, right now, Josh Allen might be a better, more dynamic QB. Having watched Allen the past two months, I have to say I think it's a real possibility. Allen is doing things that no other QB can do, including Mahomes, and has been almost impossible to defend. We'll learn more on Sunday, but my money is on Josh Allen.

Agreed. McDermott has been appropriately aggressive on fourth down all season. No reason to change anything...

Well, that hand injury to Bass is certainly a concern. Hope he doesn’t have to pass the ball...

That’s not the one, but the analysis is similar...the one I read was written after the KC game.

Depends how high the picks are. Obviously the 2 or 3 overall pick is worth quite a bit more than a first from the Seahawks or Rams...

Maybe someone should ask the Bears, and Jets, and Jags, who all passed on Mahomes despite having needed a QB for decades. And who still need a QB 4 years later.

The joke’s on us...This clown has made tens of millions of dollars in this game, despite being unable to coach his way out of a wet paper bag...

I think read it on ESPN or NFL.com. The author concluded that the Browns probably will pick up Baker’s option, but that it was not a foregone conclusion..

I don’t know what happened to Wentz, but he can’t play anymore. He was the worst starter in the league this year and everyone in Philly knew it. He seems to have had a mental crack-up and the stories coming out of there now are pretty bad. I mean, it’s possible he’ll play well again, but I doubt it. He appears to be broken.

Wentz is finished. He will be OOF by 2022.

I may have been wrong about my assessment of Mayfield and the Browns. Apparently the Browns aren’t even sure they are going to pick up Baker’s 5th year option. Fact remains, they would have to send Houston a lot more than Mayfield (if Houston even wants him) to get Watson.

Well, their last coach was also the GM, so...

Well, it’s kind of an unprecedented situation. Usually having a QB like Watson assures that you won’t be shopping for a new HC and/or GM, but O’Brian’s incompetence simply beggared belief. Do you doubt that Kraft would have consulted Brady if Belichick had suddenly retired a few years ago, or that KC would talk to Mahomes about the new coach if Andy Reid called it quits?

It’s not that Watson isn’t worth the Lawrence pick—it’s that Jacksonville has tanked so hard to get it, they have to stay the course. The five or six fans they have left would mutiny if they don’t get Lawrence... Not even close. Donald is going to be 30 this year and has a huge contract. And the Rams’ first is 23 or 24 overall.

The salary cap analysis here is spot on, but you are way off WRT what Watson would command in trade. Chase Young, straight up for Watson? Are you serious? It would cost Chase Young, a first and another high pick to even be in the conversation. And Tua and 3 overall? Again, not even close. It would take Tua, both ones this year, and another high pick. (Tua not worth much at this point) And the Giants would probably have to offer three number ones and Jones, who had very little value at this point. You’re right that most teams in the league should be interested, but not many have the ammunition to get it done. I’ve always thought the Jets made the most sense as a landing place. Darnold, both ones and a second might be enough...

Ahh. Sorry. I thought Dillon was a late-rounder (that’s where he was projected to go). He won’t be there when the Bills pick, but I’d take Etienne in a heartbeat.

Green Bay picked up Dillon in the sixth, I think... Unfortunately, we haven’t chosen very well at RB, but it’s an easy problem to fix.

It’s not horrific value. He went a few picks before Taylor. And if you happened to see Taylor’s hands during the wild card game, you know why Reid didn’t want him over CEH. Those other backs are good too, but they aren’t necessarily better than CEH. (I thought you were going to mention Akers, who looks really good.) i don’t see him as a “wasted pick” just because a few other backs had somewhat better stats.

Edwards-Helaire actually was the best back in the class, and I don’t think Andy Reid has any buyer’s remorse...he had a really good year before he got hurt and they’ve struggled to replace him. It was hardly a wasted pick. A luxury pick, perhaps...

Yeah, it’s an absolutely fantastic matchup. I did not know CEH is supposed to be back on Sunday. How much did the Chiefs miss him while he was out?
