Still remember that Buffalo moron lecturing us about how the Buffalo offense was better than KC because of point differential and Buffalo running up the score on teams that had quit.

Right before Mahomes scored on drive after drive while the Buffalo offense sputtered in the AFC Championship game.

If Buffalo wins it will be because the Chiefs can’t score 24 points.

You are what your record says you are. Buffalo is an extremely dangerous team that has been inconsistent, primarily due to poor coaching at the end of games. Examples include calling timeout as the opponent is desperately rushing a key 4th down play. And having 12 players on the field during a missed final play of regulation field goal that would have won the Bills the game. And playing defensive-backs 10 yards off on a final defensive drive where the Bills just need one stop.

On the other hand, Buffalo has the makings of a "team no-one wants to face" over the next 5 weeks. Since firing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, the Bills offense has scored 30+ points in back to back weeks. The Buffalo offense put up 31 points against a Philadelphia defense that Kansas City struggled to score 17 against. In addition to the 31 points, there were two missed field goals (should have scored more).

In addition to the OC changeup, Buffalo also traded for Rasul Douglas, who is a very smart and physical CB that has a top 10 PFF grade for his position. They also signed Linval Joseph that has paid immediate dividends by anchoring their defensive line. I believe if the team had these two players at the start of the season, the Bills would be 8-4 right now. This is because the Bills have 3 losses this season where the Josh Allen led offense took the lead, left the field with less than 2 minutes to go, and never saw the field again.

The Bills have the 5th highest net point differential in the league. They are a good team that has been bad at times (due to their own fault), but also very unlucky - unlucky from an injury, scheduling and referee standpoint (similar to how KC got the raw end of the refereeing stick last night). What do I mean by poor scheduling luck? Think about it - it's not just about who you play, but it's also about when you play them. For example: Miami got to play the Broncos at the beginning of the year when they were struggling badly. The Bills (and Chiefs) played them mid-year when they had their kinks worked out. The Dolphins got to play the Bengals in September, when Burrow was hobbling around the field. The Bills played the Bengals after Burrow was healed, but one game before he went out for the season. The schedule is not just about the opponent, but where the opponent is in their season when you play them.

For example, the Chiefs get Buffalo when they're hot. Rather than early on, when they were struggling.

CP 2018-2022.... can't win a SB when you rely on Mahomes to score 28+ every game!

Chiefs only need 28+ once in the 2022 postseason, limit that same team to 21 the following season, along with all other playoff teams its faced

CP 2023... can't win a SB unless Mahomes can score 28+ every game!

We’re averaging 19 points per game since 10/29.

And they're giving up 17ppg for the year... that's kind of the point.

I think we're all well aware of the issues on offense and nobody is ignoring that... suddenly setting the bar at needing almost 30ppg is obviously extreme though with a healthy defense.

Lol, so you think we're going to win a SB scoring 19 pts/game? When w just lost to GB? We scored just 17 vs. PHI defense, and that's not even a good defense either. 14 vs. MIA defense, yet another middling D.

No, my point about not needing 4 touchdowns per game didn't morph into some weird point where we cherry pick 5 games and assume that's the most they'll ever score in the playoffs.

Granted, they did only need 21ppg to make it to the SB last year, but we're apparently now worried about Lamar Jackson or whoever scoring 27 points against a defense that's giving up 17 per game.
