Chiefs CBS: The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs - Page 30

Mentions the Chiefs several times, so figured you guys would want to see it.

The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs

Forget the Ravens. Forget the Bucs. The team you don't want to play in January is the Buffalo Bills.

With all due respect to the Packers, the AFC's No. 2 overall seed may very well be the second-best team in the NFL.

The Bills crushed the Dolphins 56-26 in a game Miami needed for their playoff hopes. And maybe we didn't see a 30-point win coming, but it's in line with what the Bills have been doing to teams in recent weeks.

Buffalo has had a top-five scoring defense since Week 12. If not for the Hail Murray they would have finished on a 10-game win streak dating back to before Halloween.

And then there's Josh Allen. The third-year franchise quarterback has, in consecutive weeks, set the Bills single-season records for passing touchdowns and passing yards.

What I love most about the Bills is that they aren't even letting teams hang around. Since that Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, not a single team has finished within a possession of the Bills.

I go back to that Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Sean McDermott picked his poison and let the Chiefs' run game beat them up so that Patrick Mahomes wouldn't. Kansas City rushed for 245 yards and Mahomes passed for 225 yards.

But with about 5 minutes left in the game and down 23-17, the Bills forced a Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble that would have given the Bills the ball at the Kansas City 31.

They would have had a chance to take the lead against the Chiefs there. But instead, the replay showed Edwards-Helaire's knee was down just before the ball came out. Mahomes took the Chiefs down for the field goal and that provided the final margin of victory.

Allen is a better quarterback today than he was then. The defense is playing far better ball. And after sweeping the Patriots and beating the likes of the Seahawks and Steelers, the Bills now know how to win big games.

Lost 1 year (2019) - That is true, however, you neglect to mention that the Chiefs lost in the AFCCG. That means that in 'losing' the Chiefs still won more playoff games than Josh Allen.

You spout off that we are arrogant, and we may be a little arrogant, granted it is because we are the ****ing defending Champs. The Bills ain't shit, until they prove it.

I ask you what is more pathetic, the fact that we are cocky (We are the defending Champs after all), or the fact that you feel the need to come over to another teams board to spout your propaganda, and try to convince us that your team is relevant when they haven't even won their division since ,like what, 1995?

Give me a ****ing break, until the Bills beat someone in the playoffs, they aren't shit.

Read DaFace's post below. You care and put stock (far too much) into what some anonymous message board posters think/state. Then, you want us to somehow ponder what a bunch of disgruntled Patriots fans think about the Chiefs chances. Next, you'll recite an opinion about the Chiefs that you read off a subway wall that you think is somehow relevant. (Can't Wait.GIF)

The thing is, I don't think you can deny that he has gotten better and better. Nobody not named Mahomes just starts out killing the league in the playoffs, at least in recent history.

I give Allen his due, he's good and the Bills are good. Do I think they are 60 minutes of playoff football better than the Chiefs? No, I do not. If we meet them in the AFCCG, it will probably be a helluva game, one from which the Chiefs will emerge victorious.

You’re not allowed to say that my friend.

Fall in line.

You must say Allen sucks and will always suck.

LOL. Patriot fans will forever hate on the Chiefs, and will always come up with opinions about how the Chiefs are overrated and not that good and bound to lose...then they cry in their shitty clam chowdah...in short, **** Patriot fans.

As for true SOS, the Chiefs .465 is the 3rd easiest in the conference.

Strength of schedule has a fatal flaw. One of them is that while the Chiefs did beat the 2-14 Jets, they'd have beaten any 7-9 type team placed in front of them that day too, but they get only 1 win either way. So by beating the bad team, your SOS looks bad, but again the point is, they would have gotten 1 win either way. The better mark of a strong team is, How did they do against the GOOD teams placed in front of them? And how many instances of those games do we have to make an inference from them. The reason for this is simple: That's the level of team you're going to play in the playoffs, so that is the only comparison that matters.

I'd argue, that for strong playoff teams, if you want to calculate a real SOS, you should use 8-8 for everyone 8-8 or worse, and actual record for everyone better, AND remove any of their wins or losses to you from that record for all teams. You want to see their relative strength, and since you are also a strong team, you don't want you beating them to make them seem worse.

Yes she is. For a Bills fan that is.

Also believe she was one of the orginal pilgrims from the Star BB like some of us.

The Chiefs would still be favored, as they should be, but if you were to give Andy Reid the CHOICE - would you rather play Buffalo, or a weaker team like the Browns, Steelers, etc - I think he would definitely choose someone other than Buffalo.

Yeah you don't know football, but by all means continue spouting your fantastic premonitions of what "could be"

**DaFace** · 01-04-2021, 05:32 PM

Kind of funny that all of this discussion is about an article written by a guy who wrote an article called "Chiefs show why they'll repeat as Super Bowl champs" just a couple weeks ago.

It's almost like the guy just writes articles to get clicks rather than having any sort of actual analysis.
