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.

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.
It's like when someone tells a silly lie about you that has no bearing on your life at all.
Annoying. And you may occasionally slap down that person with cold, hard, unadultered truth.
But generally it's not even worth your time responding because it's so silly and settled, and you would be lowering yourself to truly engage in debate with them. You may occasionally poke and prod at them for shits and giggles, but the whole time you're secretly laughing at them on the inside.

When Allan and Mahomes are both playing their A game Allen can match Mahomes. But you can count on Mahomes to play his A game when it matters and so far Allan hasn’t shown that to be the case. And he will also sometimes play so badly he can lose the game all by himself. Mahomes seldom does that. Allan hasn’t done it that much this year, so he may be improving in that area.
It’s true Allan has out played Mahomes this year and Mahomes has been uncharacteristically not up to his normal standards. But despite that he’s been there when it’s needed and we are undefeated.
All fans talk lots of gibberish to support their team. But even the most diehard bill‘s fan can’t seriously think that Allan is a better quarterback than Mahomes. [Reply]

Oh they’re dead serious about Allen being the better quarterback. In their minds the only thing separating the two is Andy Reid. They think if Allen is with KC he’d have 5 rings. Just browse through TBD at any given time. It’s truly delusional. [Reply]

It's all they've got.
Allen's never going to win them a Super Bowl and they know it. All they have is alt universe speculation and creating championships in Imaginationland.
The funny part is right now "Allen is king!!!!" when it was only two weeks ago when he set the record for lowest completion percentage in a game. [Reply]

Mahomes would have won at least 1 ring wherever he ended up in the draft. It’s the drive to succeed that separates him from most elite quarterbacks. [Reply]

Andy Reid was considered a Playoff choker until Mahomes helped him overcome that long history of Playoff disappointment. It is really interesting that people want to rewrite history as if Andy Reid had a million rings before Mahomes showed up. [Reply]

It's almost as if football is a team sport with a lot of moving parts, that all have to work together to be successful. [Reply]

Mahomes’ detractors just gloss over this fact. Now Reid is the greatest coach of all time and any decent qb under tutelage would win multiple rings. It’s so ridiculous.
With the Chiefs’ defense playing better the burgeoning narrative now is Mahomes also has Spags to carry him. Anything fans, especially Bills fans, can say to not admit Mahomes is better than their qb they’re going to say it loud and proud. No matter how ludicrous. [Reply]

Of course. But it’s not a coincidence that Belichick is unable to win without Brady. And the same thing is true with Andy & Mahomes.
Andy had two guys at QB that were drafted higher than Mahomes. There’s video footage of McNabb doing crazy athletic stuff similar to Josh Allen or Mahomes. Scramble around and then launch a 60+ yard accurate ball downfield. McNabb was very talented. Eagles had an elite defense every year with Jim Johnson as the DC. But they couldn’t win rings.
Alex Smith was pretty talented as well or he would not have been a #1 overall draft pick. The Chiefs had a pretty good defense during Alex’s time and even held the Steelers to no TD’s in one of their Playoff losses with Alex. Mahomes has helped wash away some of these problems for Andy. Just like Brady helped wash away problems for Belichick. [Reply]
