You think the Chiefs just got it like that this year? 

You gotta beat the champs when it matters.

Many have tried this year, almost all have failed.

That's one thing you can't underestimate. Almost every single person in that KC organization had been here before multiple times. 

Buffalo hasn't.

Absolutely

Lamar's stats gave him a better season, but take Lamar off that team and Henry, the other offensive weapons, and defense still have them competitive with an average QB.  Take Allen off the Bills and replace him with that same average QB and they're not making the playoffs.

Most Valuable Player, not who had the best season

Zay Flowers being healthy may have resulted in a different outcome, although the turnovers...

Bingo. The Bills were basically able to win with a conservative, ball control offensive approach because the Ravens were busy beating themselves.

Exactly not a chance Allen's passing chart looks like that if it had been a back and fourth game, heck the bills were content to run the ball for 3 yards and a cloud of dust tonight.

I didn't realize we had so many KC fans on the board

Honestly, I've been rooting for them all year and would like to see them win the SB.

Spent too much time hating on guys like Brady or Lebron just because they won a lot.  As I've gotten older it's allowed me to appreciate being able to watch the legitimate generational talents and enjoy it instead of hate watching them.  Sure these guys get calls that others don't, but that's been the case with all the all time greats in any sport, and it's not their fault either.

If a player/team has done something to make me hate them, that's different, but I've got no qualms with Mahomes or the Chiefs, so I'd like to see them make history and get the 3 peat.

It's the same reason I'm following and rooting on Wemby in his young career so far.  He's that next true generational player and I'm going to enjoy watching his career unfold.

I have a weird back and forth love-hate thing for Brady

Grew up a big Michigan football fan, so of course I liked him before he was drafted.  Then of course HATED him after they beat us and became "Brady"

But then having Gronk be such a key player to their second set of SB's, my favorite non Panther as the 2 years he played at Arizona were my last 2 there so I got to watch his college career in person, I begrudgingly rooted for the Patriots and grew to appreciate his greatness.

Now I hate him again for stealing Olsen's job on the #1 fox crew.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
