The Chiefs DID NOT BELONG IN THIS GAME.
The Bills & Ravens were both better teams. This KC team is being completely out-classed. They squeaked by all season, and it has caught up to them.
If that's not the dominant narrative after the game, it should be.

Eh....I don't see this Bills team defeating the Eagles. Maybe Allen doesn't throw a pick six. But our receivers vs that D would be disastrous.
Agreed. I'm just saying the Bills would have done better because Allen is extraordinary. The defense would have been humiliated.

Beane would never draft a guy like Carter.
I'm feeling pretty down on Beane's drafting.

Honest, unbiased opinion, anyone think we would be doing better at this point?
I think yes. Really. Allen would be the best player on the field, and he would have done more with less than Mahomes, as he did all season.

It because their QB is panicking
How is that possible? He's the best quarterback in the league! I read that!

KC has ONE first down and 20 yards of offense. That is called being dominated.
But somehow the halftime show will find a way to praise Mahomes and KC. Meanwhile, the rest of the sports world is all thinking the same thing: "How does it feel to not have the refs in your pocket, KC?"

This game is going to intensify Beane's inquiries on Garrett and Crosby.
Get both, man. Give away the rest of the D-line, except Rousseau.

Sorry, but Hurts is not a very good quarterback. He's a poor man's Lamar, at his best.

Both defenses seem to have a lot more overall speed than the Bills defense, particularly in the secondary. Our safeties and CBs are slow comparatively. Makes a difference when plays go wide.
DeJean would have been such a superior pick to Coleman. What a shame.
Beane would have had to trade up to get him. He trades up for Elam and Kincaid but not McDuffie or DeJean, go figure.

God, I'd love to see KC humiliated. Next best thing to Bills being in the Super Bowl.

"Patrick, the best in the world at everything, loses track of the defense, but did you see what an incredible throw it was to DeJean? There's not three people on the planet who can make that throw. He's just amazing. No one, and I mean no one, does it better, even interceptions. A thing of beauty!"

Even when Mahomes and Kelce mess up, we hear how they're the best in the league. I heard that before I could mute it.

I think the eagles watched alot of the afc championship game. They're playing almost opposite of what the bills tried to do offensively
Just tuning in. How do you mean not like the Bills?

You mean LaPorta, whom Beane could have taken (and saved a fourth round pick) instead of Kincaid? 6'3 245 Ibs, 4.59 40? Not taller, but bigger, faster, and stronger. And better.

I’m trying to boycott football this last week. I will vomit if is see Taylor, other than James.
Me, my gorge rises with every glaze of Mahomes. I don't mind anyone else receiving praise, but there's something about the prohibition of ever--ever!--criticizing that Kermit-voiced, fey, whining, graceless cretin and the equally strong imperative to deify him as All That Is Holy that makes me turn the channel whenever he's on the field. GAAAA!
(Seeing my counselor again Monday. 😔)

I know a few Ravens season ticket holders and while they appreciate Jackson the player, they do not like Jackson the person.
Any sense of what they don't like?

Must be tough for Ravens fans, to have Lamar beaten twice by Allen in just a few weeks. First, he ends Lamar's great season, then, to add insult to injury "takes away" his MVP award. Not much left for them but ashes and vinegar.

So you think over 130 refs that compromise at maximum 17 crews a week are working with Goodell to rig the games for the Chiefs because of the Taylor Swift bump?
I should use these types of comments in my class to teach logical fallacies. Someone says they suspect the game is rigged, and the Straw Men come out in force. My only question is why do you stop at claiming all the refs have to be involved in tipping a close game? Why not go whole hog? "Are you telling me that the entire NFL--all its employees, from Goodell to the janitors--ALL are working with Goodell to rig games? And their families, too? And the media and their families? We're talking nearly a 100 million people here! How could a hundred million people work in such silence to rig the game? It's ludicrous!" Straw Man right back at you.

I don't track any specific books, but all-over social media, they're saying that the odds flipped back into Allen's favor. That says Vegas knows.
If I were a conspiracy guy, I would suspect that the league is worried about the increasing grumbling that the KC-Buffalo game was rigged, and to quell it is now twisting arms to swing the MVP vote to Allen. Throw 'em a bone to shut 'em up.

I've felt for many years that the refs are subconsciously biased towards the home teams, especially in the playoffs.
Their bias has been well documented. Read Scorecasting by Tobias Moskowitz.
But I suspect their bias isn't just unconscious. With billions of dollars hanging on the spread, wouldn't at least some interested parties try to persuade them to influence the game, even in a limited way? Think of a) how many highly motivated parties there are out there now with gambling legalized; b) how many ways refs can be "persuaded" to participate, the many variations of threats and bribes; c) how easy it would be for a ref to cheat; and d) how easy it would be to deny the cheating, especially with the full force of the league backing them, as well as many fans (albeit a dwindling number).
All these factors add up to a high probability that at least some games have been influenced by at least one corrupt ref, with higher likelihood of playoff games with their higher stakes. As someone pointed out, cheating might not even be illegal, pushing the probability even higher.

I think part of the problem is everybody eats is sometimes limiting your best players. Why do both Kincaid and Knox look like they are below average when they are both in the lineup while when one is injured the other guy looks great. 🤷🏼♂️
It may be time to admit that the "everybody eats" motto was putting a happy face on a bleak situation. That's not a criticism, either; they were making the very best of a poor WR roster. Shakir and Hollins were terrific in their roles, the rest were frankly mediocre. Brady and Allen played a lousy hand brilliantly, which is why Brady drew interest as a head coach and Allen is the clear MVP.

It's not that controversial of a statement?
That's like saying it's not a controversial statement to say Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were great players by pointing out how many home runs they hit in 1998. How many Super Bowls would Mahomes have won if the league, via the refs, weren't putting their thumbs on the scale? I don't care if he goes on to win ten Super Bowls. All but the first few will always carry an asterisk.
One of the many disgusting aspects of the cheating, the one I'm least concerned about actually, is that it does diminish what Mahomes and the Chiefs have done. For this reason, rather than denying the cheating (which they have no part of), they should be first in line criticizing it.

It really may be time to move on from McDermott. He's had so many chances, especially in the 13-second game. My nightmare is that Beane will stick with McDermott for all of Allen's prime before even he agrees the man is not the answer or he himself is fired. And when will Allen realize he can't win in Buffalo with this coach and say it's him or me?
We have the wrong head coach.

I'll post this again...
It takes two teams to trade. People keep talking about this like Beane can just trade up if we wants to, without taking other teams into account. Take a look at the picks between when Jacksonville traded back with Minnesota and when they picked Thomas Jr. and find a trade partner that wasn't filling a glaring need.
17 Minnesota Vikings Dallas Turner DE Alabama
18 Cincinnati Bengals Amarius Mims OT
19 Los Angeles Rams Jared Verse †DE
20 Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Fautanu OT
21 Miami Dolphins Chop Robinson DE
22 Philadelphia Eagles Quinyon Mitchell CB
23 Jacksonville JaguarsBrian Thomas Jr. †WR
Cincinnati has been trying to build an OL for years and had to address it there. Same goes with Pittsburgh. The rams had just lost Aaron Donald and needed pass rush in the worst way. The Eagles were rebuilding a secondary in a single draft and would have never moved from there with the best CB in the draft on the board. That leave the Fins. They probably would never trade with us. For all we know, Beane was trying to get up to take Thomas Jr..
Good point. It's easy to kvetch, especially with hindsight. And maybe Kincaid and Coleman will work out. Maybe.

Maybe I'd feel different if the Bills went all the way, but the names you mention, along with most of the other ones that don't start with an "A," scream mediocrity.
