This Week’s Sports Media Top Narratives
 

The writing is on the wall:

* Mahomes & the Chiefs are deader than John Dutton.
* Bill’s are Super Bowl favorites.
* Josh Allen probably won’t be available to accept his MVP award because he’ll be too busy preparing for the Super Bowl.
* Josh Allen is Superman. Best quarterback to ever play.
* No one can stop the Bill’s offense.

Maybe I’ll watch a couple more reruns of “A Christmas Story” this week.

This will make their (the ills) downfall sweeter...

I consume very little dogshit national media.

The only thing I've listened to was Simmons' podcast to which he pointed out that the Bills Defense isn't good enough. Also, only 6 times since the late 70s has there been an MVP win the Super Bowl. (Mahomes being the last one).

All that being said, Allen is having a great ****ing year. They lost all their non-Shakir receivers and a bunch of their defensive talent and he's better. (Diggs addition by subtraction...especially with the Texans going backward...?) Dude is having himself a year.

Pairs well with narratives that need to die...

Maybe watch Groundhog Day?

I think Philly would steamroll them

The Lions defense is a terrible scheme matchup against a Sean Payton offense, what the Bills run.


Buffalo offense did not look like that against Baltimore or Houston.

Good for Buffalo they finally got their QB the MVP but they aren’t coming out of the AFC, too many bad matchups for them, including us.

To be fair the Bills have scored 30+ points in 11 games this season. Josh Allen is playing like playoff Mahomes every game lately, and hasn't been sacked in the past four games.

I hate to type this.

They added Amari Cooper. But the main thing I notice is the OL. Josh drops back and seems to have plenty of time to do what he wants with the ball. He's had the same LT for 99% of the games in his 6+ year career. It's gotta help the confidence of your QB to have that stability on the blind side.

If you were a professional gambler who would you put your money on this year?

The team that looks amazing every regular season and hasn't advanced past the divisional round since 2020, or the team that kind of looks like shit at times in the regular season but has won 3 of the past 5 Super Bowls.

Or the super sexy team that's never won a Super Bowl.

Tough choice.

I don’t understand why Chief fans are constantly needing validation from the media.

We all know who’s the best, they have to create debatable topics for views. Every episode can’t be a Mahomes worship session.

Just ignore the shit lol.

You make a good point. They care because the mere thought of the hated Buffalo Bills winning a SB makes people lose their shit for some reason. People want the 3PEAT so bad, as if it’s even needed to cement the greatness of the Chiefs over the past 5 years. It’s not. And you can’t win the SB every season. Chiefs have too many holes this season imo. The O line being the biggest.

He's letting it all hang out, that's for damn sure.

He's putting a LOT of miles on the odometer and the Bills seems more than happy to let him do so. As well they should - the AFC looks more open than it has been in the past and Cooper is a nice little addition for them.

With Baltimore struggling for consistency and Cincy fallen off, the AFC really looks like a 2-horse race so if you're Buffalo, your odds are better even if you don't see this year's KC team as more vulnerable than it's been in the past (and I don't know why you WOULDN'T).

Yeah, he's going to go at 110% for the rest of the year and Allen at 110% is a goddamn monster.

My biggest worry if I'm them, apart from the defense, is him gripping just a little too tight in the post-season. If he gets used to hero ball and then gets a little tense in the spotlight, it could go real sideways, real fast for them.

Good thing you don’t professionally gamble then. Every year is its own event and this year the Bills look more equipped than the Chiefs, and perhaps more importantly, healthier! If that’s ridiculous to you go look at the smart money and see where it’s going.

DR nailed it. His line allows him to do as he chooses.

Give the out GM credit, he built that line.

Buffalo is 2-3 against teams that will be in the playoffs this year.

:D

We cheer for laundry. We overpay for similar laundry; & for tickets to wear that laundry alongside our chosen gladiators. We rage against the media & other laundry fans. We post on bulletin boards with other fans (sometimes for decades). We are fans (fanatics)… it’s what we do.

Apparently Vegas doesn’t mind?

Vegas is happy to take people's money betting on the Bills.


;)

'Best equipped' teams with all the momentums...

2019: Ravens or 49ers

2020: Bills or Chiefs

2021: Bucs or maybe Packers

2022: Eagles

2023: Ravens

...that would be zero for five.

Vegas odds in mid-December:

2019: Ravens (week 14, +300... Chiefs were 5th at +800)

2020: Chiefs (week 14, +200... Bucs were 7th at +1400)

2021: Bucs (week 14, +500)... Rams were 7th at +1000)

2022: Bills (week 14, +375... Chiefs were 2nd at +500)

2023: 49ers (week 14, +300.. Chiefs were 3rd at +500)

...also zero for 5.

Recent history...

2019: Patriots

2020: Chiefs or 49ers

2021: Bucs or Chiefs

2022: Bengals

2023: Chiefs or 49ers

...hey, we got one.

:shrug:

2022: Bills (week 14, +375... Chiefs were 2nd at +500)


That Bills team lost to Joe Burrow and the Bengals 27-10 in their own stadium.

A Bengals offense that was missing 3 starters on the offensive line.
