Don't really understand the "this is his easiest path ever" narrative. The Chiefs aspect I get, but not Lamar or Burrow. Lamar is irrelevant to Allen's playoff history and Burrow has only beat him once. He still has to get through a red hot Jags team in a stadium he has only played in once, and then a Denver team with one of the best defenses in football. It also might be the worst Bills team we have seen in the last handful of years.

Tomlin's been to 2, he's 1-1...
It's not like we are talking 4 or 5 to McDermott's 0...

I’ll take a chance with a winning record coach that’s won a SuperBowl.
JA is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't...
If he wins, there's gonna be people who say he didn't beat any proven QBs of his generation on the way...
If he doesn't win, the season was a bust and he blew his best opportunity...

New England doesn’t really have great WR either. Diggs is past his prime. The rest are sub par.

The difference here is the Head coach.

He’s also the GOAT. Please he’s not in the same conversation as Josh Allen.

Because at the end of the day you have almost no QB playoff experience in the AFC besides Allen and Rodgers. Here are the number of Playoff wins the AFC:

Stroud: 2
Lawrence: 1
Herbert: 0
Nix: 0
Maye: 0

As for Rodgers, the Steelers are a 9-8 team in what was the weakest division in the conference.

Why do Bills fans get so upset when you say this is Allen's easiest path to the Super Bowl he has ever seen or is likely ever to see?

And that's my whole point. There is no excuse this year.

It's either "Allen couldn't be great enough to take his team to the Super Bowl" or "This whole team just isn't that good".

Or they do and it affirms what a lot of people believe about Allen and the Bills.

Personally I think they're the best team in the AFC, all things considered, and just have to be able to run the gauntlet of 3 road games against beatable teams without major injuries or making a few key mistakes that cost them. We'll see.

Yeah well Mahomes completely missed the playoffs when his team sucked this year so let's be consistent considering Josh Allen's receivers suck butt

The Bills are in a WC position as well, not with homefield throughout, not with a bye. With a D+ to C- receiving corps at best. I say this as a Patriots fan by the way. I'm not sure why there would possibly be any expectation for the Bills/Allen to win the SB this year. With that said, not an excuse to suck and they have a chance. But this isn't some juggernaut team holding the bye. What are we even talking about?

Yeah you listed a bunch of young to very young QBs. I also replied to you months ago telling you the QB play across the league and level of talent has fallen off a cliff and you tried to argue teams are playing 2 high shells now as if they didn't for the past 20-50+ years lmao. Cooked takes.

I don't see how the bills lose this game. Josh Allen won't let it happen.

Funny your making this a Mahomes thread... but since you went there, Mahomes won a Super Bowl with Juju Smith Schuster, Marquz Valdes Scantling, and Kadarius Toney as his top wide receivers.

And before you say he had 33 year old Travis Kelce, I'll chime in that he had a 7th round running back who had 800 yards as a leading rusher, rather than the NFL's leading rusher like Buffalo has this year. But when you win 3 Super Bowls, you have the latitude to have a bad year when things go wrong, and it not be the end of the world.

When you're a franchise who's lost 4 Super Bowls, and 4 playoff games in 1 era to the same qb, and beat by a guy who once was one of the AFC's other top QBs, and neither of those guys are in the playoffs this year, it's okay to say that excuses don't matter and it's Super Bowl or bust.

We'll have to see how good Jacksonville can run the ball, and if they can make it a game where Allen will have to avoid mistakes and play near perfect to win.

I'm with you, I think if the Bills play their best game and the Jags play their best game, the Bills win. Jags are a solid, balanced team, but I don't know what they do so well that becomes unstoppable in a playoff game. I could be wrong, but I have faith in the Bills getting by them here.

TJ, no one seriously believes the Bills are the class of the AFC. The Broncos, Texans, Patriots, and Jags all have better rosters. A quarterback doesn't win jack in this league; the team does. I'm surprised you're not realizing that this year.

Also, the Steelers were 10-7, not 9-8.

You're right on the Steelers..

But as for the Bills... it's not just a quarterback, it's the NFL's leading rusher and a darn good oline. As for the defense, they aren't great, but they're 12 in the NFL in scoring.

I'll take the best healthy QB in football, surrounding by the league's leading rush attack to come through with a marginally above average defense, especially when there's no team in the AFC that looks like a juggernaut with Championship experience.

Am I guaranteeing they go and win 3 in a row on the road? No. But I still think they have no excuse to not be the best team in the AFC to win a playoff game.


And as a sidenote just for fun, it ain't just me who thinks they have a shot. Microsoft AI predicting the Bills to win the AFC. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article...170046098.html

Didn't they just play their backups?

Can't be that bad if Billbo backups were up 29-0 entering the 4th.

Meanwhile KC couldn't move the ball against the worst team in the NFL who already had the #1 pick locked up pre game snap.

I'm suppose to be convinced the Billbos have a bad roster, what am I missing
