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.
There was a time when Chiefs fans were somewhat insecure about criticisms of Mahomes.
We have an entire thread about how Mahomes is better than Lamar Jackson.
I think most of us have really just moved on from the debate. Super Bowls are the only thing that really matter to Mahomes’s legacy at this point.
99.9% of QBs in history would trade their careers for his, even if he never played another down. There’s like 2, maybe 3-4 QBs who had better entire careers than what Mahomes has accomplished in his short time in the League.
Brett Favre won as many regular season MVPs as Tom Brady. The two aren’t peers though.
When a player achieves a certain level of greatness, the championships are all the matter. LeBron could win the NBA MVP this year, and it wouldn’t convince anyone that he’s better than Jordan (unless the person already believes that). Titles are the only thing that move the needle.
It’s Mahomes vs history. Not Mahomes vs Allen, or any other active QB. [Reply]

Dont get me wrong - there *was* a time when Mahomes was better. 2019, 2021. But the difference between Mahomes and Allen at this point is Mahomes defense.
Give Allen the Chiefs defense and his hand would be studded in championship rings.
First it was shit I mean if Allen had the offensive weapons Mahomes had he would be winning Super Bowls (all the while the Bills had an ELITE defense).
Now its SHIT if Allen had an elite defense like Kansas City he'd be winning Super Bowls.
Chiefs are just practicing out there, bud. Chiefs are 5-0 and 4-0 against likely playoff teams (Ravens, Bengals, Falcons, Chargers). Bills are 4-2 and 0-2 against likely playoff teams (beat down by Ravens, Texans). You guys sure are impressive against the dog crap teams tho!

:-) IMO, this is is the best post in this thread. [Reply]
Kurt Warner was better than Tom Brady in 2001
Rich Gannon was better than Tom Brady in 2002
Steve McNair was better than Tom Brady in 2003
Cam Newton was better than Tom Brady in 2015
Matt Ryan was better than Tom Brady in 2016

Allen has completed 6 seasons. Let’s compare Rivers through 6 seasons.
Allen: 233 TD’s - 78 INT’s - Playoffs: 21 TD, 4 INT … Won a playoff game in 4 of those 6 years
Rivers: 165 TD’s - 77 INT’s - Playoffs: 8 TD’s, 7 INT … Won a playoff game in 2 of those 6 years.
Uh, so yeah, outside of 60 or so more TD’s and way better playoff performances, and a better playoff record, and making it to divisional round at double the clip, they’re totally the same.
This is equivalent to comparing Mahomes to Eli Manning.
Rivers actually handed off for those 1 yard TDs, not shorten his career like Ralph Wiggum diving through a windows to get cheap TDs to pad his stats [Reply]
Those cheap rushing TDs will take YEARS off his career. You....do...realize that right? No running QB has EVER has a long, functioning career. His window is almost closed. [Reply]

Most QB's don't win SB's past age 31. Allen is not only getting closer to that, he depends on his mobility and use as a fullback at the goal line.
Every QB that depends on +mobility takes a sharp downward turn past age 30.

Allen is nearing the end of his peak.
The fall happens FAST. Look at Russ. A guy that actually went to 2 Superbowls. [Reply]
