Chiefs Do Bills fans really have hope? - Page 2

Wallcrawler · 01-25-2022, 03:07 PM

I mean, come on.

Buffalo had the number 1 defense virtually across the board.

This was the "Patrick Mahomes is broken" season. This was it. This was your big chance.

Their peak and valley quarterback strung together back to back games of his life. Are we going to see that consistently? The odds are we won't.

The Chiefs secondary lost its best player on the opening series, and were the keystone cops the rest of the way.

Still couldn't get it done.

If I were a Bills fan right now, I don't think I like the prospect of what I'm facing going forward. You not only have to match what you did, but be better? Keeping in mind if Butker just makes his kicks you probably just lose outright without all the heroics needed.

Their only hope is that Patrick Mahomes takes a year off to go invent a longer lasting light bulb or something.

It's the NFL. Literally anything can happen.

All it would take is a key season-ending injury to an irreplaceable player, or for Andy to suddenly be unable to coach, or any of possibly a hundred other things and KC could spin out.

Or hell, just go back and look at last year's SB. Just have a whole officiating crew decide that KC isn't allowed to play defense and that'd be all she wrote.

BUF is definitely good enough to get there and win it all. Several things outside their organization have to go right for them, but it's not crazy to think it could happen.

Some of that secondary play reminded me of when 'GoChiefs' (not sure if still around or current name if so, he seemed to change that frequently) used to make amusing gifs of guys like Mike Goff tripping over team mates

That's a good team with a good coach, a smart (young) front office and a premier QB.

They're not going anywhere.

Addison, Hughes, Beasley, Hyde and Poyer are their biggest contributors on the wrong side of 30, but we have a few of our own there. Diggs and Hill are about the same age.

While our OL is young and improving, their DL is in the same boat. They'll have Tre'Davious White back next season as well.

Our cap is in a little better shape than theirs at first blush, but we also have a LOT of open roster spots to fill even with depth players before we start talking about key areas of improvement required.

And I believe their schedule is easier than ours next year for a couple of reasons - A) The East will be dog-ass again and B) they don't have the NFC West as their NFC division next season and we do.

They'll be back. Probably playing us again next year. Potentially in Buffalo.

But **** if I care. We have Patrick Mahomes and they don't. They can have hope. In fact I'd love it if they did. It'll make Mahomes squeezing the life out of them again that much sweeter.

ThaVirus · 01-25-2022, 03:28 PM

Of course they do; Allen is a top 5 QB.

His cap hit was $10m this year. It will jump to $16m next year and then $39m, $41m, and $51m. They really needed to capitalize this year, same as we did last season. It'll only get harder to field a great team.

Now it's looking like the Bengals and Chargers are primed to be contenders with franchise QBs on rookie contracts. The Bengals specifically have like $50m in cap space for 2022. Imagine if they can pull off an OL rebuild like the one we did this offseason..

Everyone (except delusional Buffalo fans) knew their defensive stats were inflated by the horrible opposing QB’s they faced this season (other than when they played Mahomes and Brady).

That dumbass is here. His name is Hammock

**Easy 6** · 01-25-2022, 03:28 PM

They absolutely do, they'll get one before Allen is done I guarantee it

Graystoke · 01-25-2022, 03:29 PM

They have the main thing to succeed. Franchise QB.

Bingo.

I will be curious as to how Allen/The Offense looks next year under a different OC though.

Very much so. They have a great young QB. From what I can tell a young defense. That game was a toss up game if I've ever seen it. They could have easily won. There was no divine destiny that made us win, lets be honest, we were quite fortunate.

I think Cinci and the Chargers could also possible get to that level too with some alterations. I cannot emphasize how important it is to get HFA in later years. That decided this game.

You were gone for like 86 years, where the hell you been?

**ptlyon** · 01-25-2022, 03:37 PM

Bills fans were sold a bill of goods. Nasty nasty goods. They were hyped due to "the #1 defense" and touted by the talking heads that they would beat KC.

Didn't happen. Came Damn close, but, cuz Chiefs.

They should take this as a learning experience and do the work for themselves evaluating the numbers. But I bet most won't.

Don't get me wrong, we as Chiefs fans have been as well. See the 9-0 season. But we learned from that. Now is their time to learn.

Unless Staley learns to coach football, he's going to continue to outsmart himself to mediocre records and waste the prime of Herbert's career.
