I call them homers, even though we have plenty of ours here. All I have to say, is damn, are we blessed that Patrick Lavon Mahomes II as our Quarterback.

I think we can all agree that Veach is a far better GM than Beane, but it's not like Beane is Ryan Grigson to Allen's Andrew Luck or anything like that.
Allen has had defenses that are absolutely good enough for most of his seasons (if not all of them). He's had good OLs. Dawson Knox isn't Kelce, but he's not some shlub, either. And they've had WRs. That's enough talent to make shit work. And if Allen were as good as the Bills claim he is, he should be able to eke out one win against Mahomes with that collection of players. I think that may change as Beane has had a rough go of it thus far getting outsmarted by Veach in the draft and being unable to replace aging or expensive players with younger talent. Either that, or Beane has squandered resources on inefficient production guys like old ass Von Miller in the name of going all in, but he hasn't quite figured out that those opportunities to go all in show up often enough when you just remain patient and pick the players that can actually help your team without preventing you from adding to the roster in other areas. So sure, this might change beginning this year, but up until this point, Josh has had just as easy of a go of it in terms of winning as Mahomes in terms of his surrounding talent. And yeah, that includes the refs as well. If anything, Allen has had MORE help from officials than Mahomes in their playoff games against each other. |

Allen is the better athlete, but Mahomes is more talented. Talent won out. Now somebody like Lamar Jackson or Aaron Rodgers, down double digits late in the game, they will quit on their team. They're not wired the same. |

Allen is very competitive and definitely is not a quitter. Not so much ‘deer in headlights’ but he does get flustered in pressure situations. That is what separates Mahomes from these other guys. He can still perform under the utmost pressure. Sometimes it’s as simple as doing the simple things well under pressure. Mahomes does that. Allen not so much. |

Allen’s issues under pressure are largely ignored by Bills fans but it’s one of the biggest differentiators between him and Mahomes. This was never on better display than the last Bills possession against us in the last game. On three consecutive plays Allen was an unmitigated disaster on all three, as he tried to give the game away. On first down he threw a hospital ball to Diggs who was fortunate to not catch it. On second down he threw a perfect pick 6 to Sneed but McDuffie had a “great” pass break up on that one. Then on third down he ran it immediately after dropping back to pass and fumbled the ball which at minimum should have been a Chiefs recovery and was close to a fumble return for a TD. Then of course a few plays later he missed the obvious pass to Diggs crossing right in front of him which at minimum ends with the Bills kicking a game tying field goal as time comes close to exiting. Mahomes doesn’t make even one of those mistakes in the tightest moments, let alone all four on one drive. We all saw him double clutch in the Super Bowl at the end as the play called had potential but also was not smart in the situation. |
