Are the Bills overhyped?

Update: Yes, the Bills were overhyped.

Select posters wanted him gone. Much different than a lot. Those are the usual cast who complain about everything.

Moreso Manning’s Colts, in my opinion.

Rivers made the playoffs like twice in his last 10 years with the Chargers.

I'd say he had some trouble in the second half.

Their weapons are only much better if Chase is 100%.

Also, the Bengals are tied for the worst pass block win rate in the league.

Oh I'm sorry, did he win? Either time?

When a QB gives his team an 18 point lead, I'm not sure he laid an egg tbh but that's history now

It’s a team game. Herbert took the lead with 1:45 on the clock. Mahomes did MVP stuff to steal the victory, but Herbert played very well. You could say Herbert’s defense let him down at the end, similar to KC’s defense allowing late game TD drives by the Colts & Buffalo.

All I can say is our DL is getting a lot more sacks than last year. There’s gonna be quite a bit more pressure on him this time. We don’t have Sorenson/Nieman/Hughes/Money Badger anymore for them to target over and over again. Also the Chargers are a division opponent who knows us about as good as any team. Division games are always tougher. I have nothing but faith in Mahomes beating the Bengals next Sunday. I’m positive it’s something he won’t let happen again. Patrick is gonna go beast mode.

He lost twice and if only putting up one second half score in the entire second half is not "having a problem" then I guess we're watching a different game.

I hope you are correct! Chiefs need to change the bad mojo in those Bengals matchups. Really I would like to see a dominant win by 17+ points to send a message that last year was a fluke.

Sure, whatever. He has a problem locking down games, as his 20-22 record would indicate. And he had 280 yds for 2 TDs and an INT. Not bad, but not a winner.

And you could say, lots of teams defenses let their teams down when Mahomes has the ball. It's certainly nothing new. I'll be looking for a payback at Cinci. I wouldn't bet against it.

Bro, cmon now. Are you going to pretend like every other teams fans don’t do the exact same thing when their team loses a game they should have easily won? I’m sure if we were to look back at a few of the devastating losses any team has had, their fans are calling for the heads of one of the members of the coaching staff.

Here's an interesting stat. The Bengles have just SIXTEEN sacks this season. Which is third worst in the entire league. They were rushing three and dropping eight last time and still getting pressure..Pat will have something for their ass if they try that crap again.

Yeah, but it's mostly a game where good offenses have their way with teams and "great defense" just means you've been playing shit offenses.

They had plenty of time and TOs to work the middle of the field.

I don't know if that offense really had that much time to score a TD.

They went for on third down because of the single coverage and he was open. If they got the first by running, I doubt Goff was getting a TD. Although sure, they could have burned more time.

But running for the first down isn't 100% guaranteed to pick up a first either.

[Hammock Parties]

the bills just got through a rough stretch and got 2 wins out of 3 games they probably could have blown back to back to back

they have 10 days to rest up for the division run now

i expect them to sweep their remaining divisional games and then blow a game to cincy to hand us the one seed and a convenient week off

the key to the rest of their season is if allen can recover at all in the next 10 days, or if he's just stuck being an above average passer the rest of the year
