The mighty Bills from Buffalo will take the AFC this year.
For two decades I watched people say the Patriots window was closed, that their time was dwindling, that it was all over… seemingly every time those predictions happened, the Patriots went and won another Super Bowl.
A lot of doom talk simply because we lost to the Bengals in the playoffs. Let us not forget that the Bills watched their brother DIE on the field just a few weeks prior. Their heart was simply not in it. If it had been, the Bills would have captured the AFC last year.
The Bills have won 2 of their last 3 in Arrowhead and they’re ready to make it 3 of the last 4.
If you have the ability to, please get word to the Bills' front office that we appreciate their generosity in letting us grab Worthy, please. We all look forward to what this kid can do in this offense going forward!
And McDuffie
And Mahomes
I’ll give you McDuffie. Because Elam is a complete and total bust.
But y’all aren’t ready for the Mahomes conversation yet. The rose colored glasses are tinted too strongly. [Reply]
You say we're always predicting an injury for Allen (and btw it's always "all these hits are going to add up, they use him too much as a running weapon in games that are less important, look at Cam Newton), WHILE HE LITERALLY IS GETTING READY FOR A THURSDAY NIGHT GAME WITH A DINGED-UP HAND BECAUSE HE RAN THE BALL UNNECESSARILY.
Mahomes has had 2x as many serious injuries than Allen has.
The bump on his hand stuff is just nonsense. [Reply]

KC fans already got 3 Super Bowl rings and 4 conference titles out of Mahomes. You’re still waiting to get those with Josh Allen. When these guys are in their 30’s, the injury stuff will catch up to them. Russell Wilson and Big Ben are good examples of that recently. Father Time is a mean bastard. [Reply]

You say some dumb shit like that again and i'll make sure you're so banned that even your mom won't let you through the door.

Yes, as you noticed, there are not-insignificant number of people who feel this way.
Personally, I would not use the word “better” - I would use equal.
If Allen was drafted by KC, he has all the rings that Mahomes has. Thats not to say that Mahomes isn’t great - he is. But he was drafted into the BEST possible situation imaginable:
Mahomes was drafted to a team with:
1) A hall-of-fame offensive coach
2) A team with a hall-of-fame pass catching tight end
3) A team with a hall-of-fame wide receiver talent
4) A team that had made 5 of the last 6 playoffs
5) A team that had PLAYOFF wins with Alex freaking Smith
He was drafted to a DREAM scenario.
Allen on the other hand was drafted to a team with:
1) A rookie defensive head coach
2) A team with zero hall-of-famers
3) A team whose best receiver was Kelvin Benjamin
4) A team who missed 18 of the previous 19 playoffs
Allen was drafted into one of the absolute WORST situations.
If Allen & Mahomes switched draft places, Allen would have the rings and Mahomes would be seen as the 2nd best QB in the NFL. Just the way it is.
So yeah, Mahomes is no better than Allen. They’re equals, but Mahomes was lucky enough to be drafted into an elite situation. [Reply]
