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.
DiqLicker still trying to pay off the debt he incurred by shelling out $$$ on tickets/travel to Atlanta for what he presumed was a preordained AFC Championship Game appearance for the Bills vs the Chiefs... only to have Josh Allen choke away those dreams vs. Cincy in the Divisional Round.
45% of his playoff TDs are in one playoff season (2 games).
9 of 20
It’s odd that you want to remove entire games that don’t fit your narrative.
But EVEN IF you did remove them, Allen STILL has more TD’s (11) than Burrow (10) and that would be with Allen playing one less game (since we took away two).
And that ignores the fact that Allen’s PPG in the playoffs is higher.
There is simply no argument for Burrow being better than Allen in the playoffs. Burrow is average in the playoffs. Allen is 20 TD, 4 INT and 27ppg in the playoffs.
Burrow has 1 more win and I think it’s pretty clear to see why…
Josh Allen’s defense in the playoffs
26 ppg given up
Joe Burrow’s defense in the playoffs:
19 ppg given up
Allen’s defense (which, by the way, he doesn’t play on) gives up an average of a Touchdown + extra point more, per playoff game, than Burrows.
If Allen had Burrow’s playoff defense, he may have a 7-1 playoff record. And the Bengals would definitely have a lombardi trophy. [Reply]
It was the Buffalo defense's fault that their offense only scored 10 points vs. Cincy in the playoffs last year?
And almost half of Josh Allen's career playoff TD passes have come in two games... the Faketriots Wildcard game when they destroyed Belicheck's hapless team, and the Chiefs game when they lost.
Take away those two games, and Josh Allen's playoff statistics are very average. [Reply]

Take away those 2 playoff games and Allen’s playoff numbers are STILL higher than Burrows. And in less games!
Burrow wins in the playoff by a great defense.
Since you want to take away games, let’s look at what would happen if you took away Mahomes best 2 playoff games at the same point in his career, that Allen is at right now (8 playoff games).
With his best two games removed Mahomes playoff stats at that point would be 9 TD and 4 INT. Allen’s playoff stats with his best two games removed is 11 TD and 4 INT.

Hmm…
Of the three QBs only one went into the playoffs with the number 1 defense in the league. [Reply]
Also the only time Josh Allen has advanced to play in the AFC Championship Game was because of Buffalo's defense carrying him.
They beat Baltimore 17-3 in the Divisional Round in 2021 when they only scored one offensive TD... the other TD was scored on a pick 6.
Buffalo was also held to 220 yards of total offense that game.
Josh Allen being carried by Buffalo's defense to his only AFC Championship Game appearance... a reality that DiqLicker conveniently wants to forget. :-) [Reply]
