Game Thread: Divisional weekend

[Wazmankg]

Conflicted. I don't fear the Bills defense passrush whatsoever. Bengals defense has EDGErushers. I fear Burrow far, far less than I do Josh Allen.

Seriously? The man turns into superman every time he plays your team, doesn't he? Allen can be counted on to make at least one or two critical boneheaded plays per game...Burrows not so much.

I care more about Burrow being 2-0 vs the Chiefs than how they compare on holistic metrics lol

I mean, cool. The latter is more predictive than the former is the problem with that argument.

It's a big one though. Purdy puts them just behind, but I wouldn't be upset if anyone put them in same tier.


I also think 9ers could beat anyone in tier and probably have best coaching staff too

It's an interesting test of the idea that all that matters is your QB. So far the Niners are showing it's not the only way to win.

So if they had an MVP candidate at QB they’d be just like the Eagles?

They would be undefeated. Yes, hurtz has been that good this year.

Allen has 2 games better than any Burrow has played against the Chiefs in his last 3 games against them. He had a 99th percentile game against the Chiefs in the playoffs last year in Arrowhead and it took a 99.9th percentile game from Mahomes and the offense to beat them. Bengals have a higher floor, but ignoring the Bills ceiling is immensely unwise.

Ridiculous

It's the easiest tho. Keeping a defense together after they win a Superbowl is harder than locking down your QB.

We have a game again if the Bills can get in here.

With the way the snow is coming down....the under is a safe bet.

What's the number?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Ridiculous

Titans fans told the Chiefs fans the same type of stuff a couple years back. Been there, done that.

I don't think it is. You can't have black hole there

The best way to be consistent SB contenders is top tier QB. Keeping top defense together is tough.

The Dallas Cowboys must be vanquished by the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's NFL divisional round, Drew Magary writes.

But doesn't "locking down" the QB mean spending too much of your cap on him to stay good?

Don't be a punk, Allen

Allen is an unparalleled talent.. from the neck down. I appreciate what you're saying, but I think I'd rather take my chances against Allen.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Big series here for both teams.

 

[Mebert]

Hurst has caught a TD, so now you claim he is the second best TE in football.

Guess it depends how healthy Mahomes is. If I was thinking Mahomes looks like he did yesterday, I'd be wanting the Bills and pray for turnover variance. The Chiefs are a very, very good football team themselves.

Yea.. I was getting worried there. I'm rooting for the Bills but dont really care all that much. I just want to see a competitive game.
