Honestly probably a good thing it's getting so much attention. One can only hope that Hochuli realizes he's going to be under the microscope for this game. Problem is, he can make all the terrible calls against the bills he wants, and nothing will happen. Goddell will just say how officiating has been great this season 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the face of a guy that will do bad things because of spite. It's like the NFL assigned him because the call on Toney might have cost KC the last game, so they want to make sure all the calls go the other way.

Wayne Arnold Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Defense will be fine. This game comes down to two things: (1) How the Bills OLine plays vs. the Chiefs defensive front (2) Can McDermott limit his game management gaffes? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate that the league makes me think this way So do I. I've been trying to tell myself that it's no longer in the best interest of the league to "prefer" the Chiefs win games like this. People are tired of them. People are sick of the Mahomes commercials. I'd be fully convinced of this if it wasn't for all the Taylor Swift hype. It does suck that there might be favoritism so they can keep riding that train, but at the same time it feels like the novelty of that is wearing off already. Hopefully this is all just noise and maybe for once we can have a game that isn't dramatically impacted by officials making poor decisions.

Its not like they stopped calling offensive offside after that game all the bengals fans panicked about the ref assignment against us last year and they destroyed us lol Edited January 19 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only anecdotal, but every football fan I know (in northern Virginia) is sick of the Chiefs. Mahomes' postgame reaction regarding the Offside only amplified that conviction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think some of it is home cooking too, feels like every game we get screwed is on the road (jets punt return, pats ineligible man downfield flag pickup, eagles sh*tshow) and the game we got bailed out was at home (giants no call dpi) Edited January 19 by Generic_Bills_Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlbills13 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The fact that the Peacock game last week was a big success by the numbers gives a lot of fuel to the "Get Taylor to the Super Bowl" conspiracy.

Sestak4ever Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It will be interesting to see what wrinkles Reid has planned for this game. Bills need to be very aware throughout. Hopefully we can run successfully which would make play action that much more effective, especially with Kincaid and Knox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like more people would tune in to watch the Bills try to finally win a Super Bowl than the people who would tune in for maybe 30 total seconds of Taylor Swift sitting in a box. But I'm probably underestimating the severity of the mental illness that Taylor Swift fanatics have. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 With some of the injured Bills getting back, I'm feeling better about the defensive personnel we have on the field. The Chief's offense this year has not been all that great, and the players we have available should do OK. What concerns me most of all is the extra two days of rest and preparation the Chiefs got. And Reid He's simply brilliant, and McDermott struggles to catch up with what Reid throws out there. I am more concerned about what Reid can do than what Mahomes can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an entire, new, untapped fanbase would tune in for Taylor the Chiefs. I am really never a "blame the refs" or "conspiracy" guy.

Andrew Brandt was tweeting about the perceived bias during our Eagles game. It was a huge talking point on social media, especially during that first half. Dan Fetes is out here calling people out for bringing this up, but the fact it’s becoming a public narrative is a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaulGoodman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 3 hours ago, Limeaid said: Allen obviously killed him when it comes to rushing TDs, but Mahomes' underwhelming passing numbers are mostly due to the performance of the receivers. His receivers led the league in drops by a mile. Even Kelce hasn't been sure-handed this year. He'd have a lot more TDs and at least two fewer INTs if his receivers had been able to catch balls that hit them squarely in their hands.

I also can think off the top of my head, James Cook dropping two TD’s in recent weeks and Gabe Davis taking a 1st and Goal and turning it into an Allen interception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC receivers had 44 drops this year, which did lead the league. But the Bills had 30. So that's less than one more drop per game for Mahomes than for Allen. Not sure I'd say Mahomes would have a "lot" more TDs with that one extra reception per game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh had a higher EPA, CPOE, and QBR, threw for more yards, had 17 (!) more total TDs, a better TD/TO ratio, and more Game Winning Drives. And if we're gonna play the "ifs and buts" game, we get to subtract interceptions from Josh's totals for WR drops, too, and to mention that he had to deal with a midseason switch at offensive coordinator, which Mahomes did not. All told, looking only at THIS SEASON, and looking at the raw numbers, Josh Allen had a better year than Patrick Mahomes. It would be nearly impossible to say otherwise with a straight face. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes receivers make incredible catches of passes that weren't thrown very well. It balances out in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
