They arguably have the most talented roster in the NFL; it shouldn't matter where they play.
But they're only that good in January if Allen is healthy. And this game risked that.
Just really, really stupid.

You make a fair point that Buffalo is done in January if Allen isn't playing but that argument I believe really should just be telling him to slide more and bench him for a series or at least play if he doesn't.
But I believe it matters where the playoff games are played and avoiding a playoff game is often crucial. Injuries literally impact every playoff game so just having one less playoff game to avoid new injuries can be huge.
I actually believe KC and not Buffalo is the most talented team in AFC. Why does Buffalo have a better point differential? KC has a bunch of new pieces on defense/offense and are figuring it out.
As for the vaunted Bill's defense? Better defense than KC? Sure but still not a powerhouse defense against a high powered offense.
Josh Allen played arguably the best game of his career against KC in last years playoffs considering the circumstances and *still lost*. Buffalo did very little running the ball when Allen wasn't running.
Tyreek Hill made their entire secondary look foolish. Miami right now has more than just Hill on offense
I have great respect for Von Miller and he will help but he doesn't solve all of these problems.
