Are the Bills overhyped?

Update: Yes, the Bills were overhyped.

Dude...... I don't even know who you are. But I instantly hate you. It only took me 13 seconds to figure out you suck.

Great job by the Bills to beat a team they should have beaten that has no QB and no OC.

Looking at overall players injured doesn’t paint the picture because it includes practice squad guys, backups, nobodies, etc.

Bills have lost a ton of STARTERS, which is the problem.

NFL week 12, Top 5, impact on teams by players lost to injury and health protocols (Lost-av metric, weighting by 2021 quality of injured players).

Yea well if you didn't have to bench your 1st round pick maybe you'd have some depth?

Or I dunno stop using top 3 round picks on RB's every single year, could help.

You could surround Allen with Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, Nick Chubb, and Travis Kelce, and he still would find himself running around like an idiot and getting hurt from time to time

And then you'd probably say, "Those guys are no good! The entire offense is Josh Allen!"

Yeah, I don't know exactly how one quantifies impactfulness.

Regardless, Buffalo has had very few impactful injuries on offense, and their defense has still been pretty strong regardless of some starters missing time. Cry us a river.

We're beyond the output of most rivers at this point.

Nah.

I think that game proves that Buffalo’s depth is incredible, more-so than anything else.

It was a natural disaster, crazy adversity!

That's been a common theme as I've perused Bills boards. They all think they have zero weapons after Diggs and a weak OL.

They can't bring themselves to utter a critical word about Allen.

They are like Knowmo. At the beginning of the season their roster is loaded and Top 5 until proven otherwise. Then it is injuries and excuses.

So Mahomes is better? Look at what he is doing with who he has.

Unfortunately we have no-one else right now but I cant wait to get him off the team in the offseason.

Well he did have four TDs against KC in the playoffs last year. Are you saying that was a fluke and that Buffalo got lucky he didn’t drop those? If so it looks like KC dominated Buffalo and the Bills got lucky they were 13 seconds from moving on.

How many seconds?
