Troy Aikman “spoke out” about his jealousy of Mahomes outshining his record. Check the tweets. Aikman is not an unbiased/neutral/objective opinionist when it comes to Mahomes. Spend thirty minutes on every QB’s flops, then I’ll listen. Who actually believes Mahomes wants a hit to the head. “Manufacturing” is a very strong term. Words matter.
Jaylen Watson being back is huge for KC.That allows them to move McDuffie to the slot. The first game doing that would have put Joshua Williams and Nazeeh Johnson on the outside. If they do it this time, Watson will be outside and either Johnson or Williams on the other. If Johnson is getting torched like last time, then Williams can swap in. The first game both of those players HAD to play
yeah AP has put out the data on this....the chiefs are middle of the pack in penalties. doesn't matter if it's scoring drive, third down, fourth down, whatever....they are middle of the pack.
If Mahomes took half the hits that Josh Allen takes you might have a valid argument. I’ve watched defenders straight up punch Josh in the head and not get penalized.
@@matthewmolina3326KC has the 4th worst penalty differential since Mahomes became a starter and rank 21st in 1st downs due to penalty. Idk man. I want to believe it but the stats don’t justify it
For a couple of guys that love stats and analysis, you sure don't look at the stats of penalties. Instead you follow this social media narrative and anecdotes. And why is trying to draw a penalty one way ok, but not another way.
@@DavidGonzalez-gm4oc everyone tries to game the system. DL never calls for a hold, WR never tries to get PI, many other QBs flop or scream for late hits. Hard counts game the system. As long as it's within the rules
This is the second time I've watched and your take is asinine. Those tacklers were not aiming for Mahomes's midsection. They absolutely led with their forearms with the intent to hit his head, they just so happened to hit each other. You can "see" in those "frames" (as you said) that they hadn't even gone into a tackling motion until Mahomes started going down. Good grief.
From their post game comments, Texans went into the game expecting to get bad calls. In that case, the only logical explanation for leading with their forearms and helmet crowns is that they were trying to knock Mahomes out of the game (oh, exactly like the Texans did to Trevor Lawrence, hmmm) and thinking that 15 yards would be worth it to play against Wentz.
Exactly. They were overly hopeful to lay him out and it cost them. Same with Will Anderson. He should know better than to hit a QB high. Coaches always say "Go for the drive zone," as in between the knees and shoulders.
L take on mahomes trying to “game the system” dudes just playing and cut inside thinking tgere was more yards. He slid late, but that happens all the time in the nfl. Stop this bs that because there was a bad call it was mahimes “gaming” the system
He may not have been trying to game the system this time but he does it so often he’s under a microscope now. Not everyone is just “ jealous” or “ crazy” here. How many times have we seen him go toward the sideline like he’s running out just to spin back in last second for more yards? Slow down like he’s going to slide just to see the defenders slow down and start running again for a bit more? It’s non stop with this guy. He wants the protection but only when it benefits him. When you pull enough rat moves people start to take notice and get annoyed. It’s the leagues fault, the first time he did it years ago they should have flagged him for an unsportsmanlike penalty and created a flop rule of sorts. But here we are.
@@davidmccullough3762he definitely doesn’t do those things as often as Josh Allen. He’s done it like a few times. He almost never puts his body in harm’s way September through December. To think he’s trying to bait a defender into hitting him late in a week 6 game is asinine.
@@davidmccullough3762exactly how many times?? Give some examples, games, week, season??? Got any?? Even one??? Bc everyone you cry about I can show others doing the same thing. Dante Culpeper use to run towards the sidelines then cut back inside... Did you cry then too??
@davidmccullough3762 so, he should not go for more yards, he should make it easier for the opponents to tackle him, benefit the other team instead, smdh.
Check the Mic has become one of my favorite places to get NFL talk. I'm a KC fan and there is a lot of silliness that seems to come with talking about a team that has had so much success in the Mahomes era. Steve and Sam are quality analysts that don't let much bias creep into their discussions, even if my fellow Chiefs fans complain to the contrary (we love our team and even the smallest slight will fire up the Kingdom). Keep up the good work! I will, of course, continue to enjoy a shouty Nick Wright defend my guys but I appreciate being able to check out a more measured conversation too.
@@bradleyhoward9638No it's not. 🙄 Some of you seem to think that any time an analyst is critical of KC or praises another team in the slightest, they're being biased. These guys have been critical of Buffalo and picked against them enough times for me to know that they are not biased in favor of Buffalo in any way. They both picked the Ravens to win last week.
16:00 that's a generous misrepresentation of the actual data. The actual data is that Clete Blakeman's crew wildly deviates from all other referee crews by calling not only the most penalties in the league, but also significantly disadvantaging the home team . The home team is 15% less likely to win with Blakeman's crew than any other ref crew in the league.
I was at the 2019 AFCCG game vs the Pats which Clete was the head ref. I have a feeling he'll mimic his performance in that game with phantom calls to help the away team
High leverage play on the 2nd penalty? It’s was 1st and 10 after a 6 yards which it would have been 2nd and 4. Come on shoutie show. I’m a Packers fan but actually give the stats on RTP and UR per drop back for these QBs
JOSH Allen has the most roughing calls because he runs designed run plays... He is one of the biggest floppers in the league... They all do it... Receivers and D Backs want PI calls... Linemen want holding calls, kickers want roughing calls... QBs just get them more because they always touch the ball and are being watched until they get rid of it... SO both QBs in this game get a lot of calls... Just My Humble Opinion based on stats and facts...
@@qcrew2938 THE Chiefs may be the most hated... But that is because they are the Dynasty, not because they cheat... If you check the "actual" stats you will see that Mahomes gets the least amount of roughing / unnecessary roughness calls at less than 10%, while Josh Allen is at almost 94%, and several QBs are in the middle... But since the Chiefs are the current Dynasty they get all the primetime games and so they are more in the spotlight... So people just automatically ASSume they get favoritism, instead of actually checking the facts... BESIDES, it is easier to claim the Chiefs cheat and get preferential treatment than it is to admit your team sucks and that is why you hate the Chiefs... Sad, but true... Just My Humble Opinion based on stats and facts...
Using Ailkman as a reference is sad and bias. Everyone knows he’s bias against Mahomes. This crying is getting ridiculous and it’s just showing the emotional part of your analysis. Look and the numbers. Losing respect for these guys
Luck involved? A depleted bills teams? They were missing linebackers give me a break. 7 straight AFC title games, 4 super bowls made, 3 won going for 3 in a row is lucky as hell. It’s hilarious that no matter what KC does there will always be an asterisk next to it
You are so boring with this referee stuff. It's painfull. Mahomes is not in top 10 on roughing the passer. I think. Sooo boring. Of course,Mahomes is doung that. Josh Allen is doing it the most. Why are you so boring????
There are other flags besides roughing the passer 🤦♂️ Boring because they aren’t going to act like flags are game changing calls and that Mahomes is just so amazing? Gotcha 🤦♂️
@@HappyWolverineI agree. I can’t believe the refs blocked all those kicks, sacked Stroud 8 times, and just kept running past the Texans Defenders into the end zone. Shame on them!!!!
The last time the Chiefs beat the Bills in the regular season was 2020... The first time Josh Allen's Bills and Patrick Mahomes Chiefs ever faced each other. They've won all 4 times they faced each other in the regular season since then.
I miss the days of Ray Lewis, who NEVER complains cheaply, but plays through whatever obstacles to win. That kind of manhood is slipping away also. Now we gladly complain.
Taylor Rapp going down is brutal timing. This is similar in magnitude to the LB injuries last year and the Tre injury in the 13 second game but no one is mentioning it. Safety is the weak point of this d already and Rapp was key in keeping it from being a sieve. Bishop is not ready for prime time yet and any time Hamlin and him have been paired this year the defense really struggled This injury is being overlooked and may just cost the Bills this game.
They don’t have anything else to ding Patrick about. He’s excellent and kind. So, sad, unhappy people have to find a reason to denigrate him and drag down his Mr. Clean/family man reputation. I’ll just be happy when he shuts them up again.
Yeah, I'm Chiefs fan, but Monson's objectively wrong about the second penalty involving Mahomes. Specifically, the declaration that 'Mahomes went down way later than he should'. I actually agree that the call was ticky-tack, but it was called by cues more than direct observation, and that's actually a good thing. You must keep in mind that the NFL has to be absolutely stringent when it comes to preventing CTE, so if they see or hear indicators of a hit to the head, they'll throw a flag. That's good, because then it's not a judgement call when the official has mere seconds to evaluate everything. If the refs decide on the fly what is or isn't serious enough to be a foul you're going to have errors in judgement that'll be even more controversial. He's also wrong because he's not considering the play from Mahomes POV, expecting him to give up when he sees open grass to his left, instead of trying to get more yards. Watch the film, when he cuts left, the gap's there. What he didn't have time to realize was the two defenders who were rushing in to close that gap, so when he realized it, he went down. That the penalty is marginal is obvious, when you have the leisure to watch replays, but the folks on the field don't have that luxury. The game's almost entirely read-and-react, so there's no time to actually make decisions. That's also why "the refs are biased" is hogwash. They literally don't have time to consider whether or not they should intentionally blow a non/call to influence the game. If you're sitting on the couch, you're not thinking like you would in the game, so you ain't that smart when you talk when you forget that fact. I'm getting sick of all the nonsense, including calls and "decisions" involving all the other teams. Players make mistakes, and so do refs, and sometimes it's not obvious that they're making a mistake at the time. Human error's an intrinsic part of the game, take away too much and the game will cease to be. Yeah, I'm long-winded, but I said a lot more per word than most comments do. Deal.
Last week the narrative was the Bills couldn't stop Derrick Henry. Bills held him to 84 yds and won. Now the Bills are supposed to worry about Pacheco? Broncos and Ravens had the best run defenses and the Bills ran on both of them. These so called pundits don't know shit. They just like to hear themselves speak. Bills beat them 30-19 and didn't play well. Bills were missing 3 defensive starters and you saw how much different they looked against the Ravens.
The complaining about the refs is such a tired take. There was one terrible call and one questionable call in one game, and suddenly the chiefs get refs help every game and it’s the biggest part of how Mahomes plays. They’re simply tired of the chiefs winning
The Texans had that catch on the sideline that they reviewed. They ruled it a catch and no one believes it was. But people only talk about the roughing the passer‘s on my Patrick.
Bills YET AGAIN do not have a real defense for their playoff game against KC. This is why they will never beat them in the post season. Chiefs are always healthy enough. They play calculated football; people rag on them for barely winning but they seemingly save their strength for when it matters (now). Bills are missing starting linebacker, starting safety, starting corner and possibly best player in Taron Johnson. Versus who? Playoff version of Chiefs? A win is not happening. Not until Buffalo can bring a healthy team into the post season. There is a reason football is physical. Endurance is a part of the game. If you can beat other people up then it helps you win. Same with boxing. Chiefs have more durable athletes and play more calculated ball because they know what they need down the stretch. I’m not a KC fan but I don’t know how other teams overcome the non-game aspects of trying to beat this team. Just not possible.
Benford will play and he'll be okay. Milano was practicing today and never really had an injury it was just soreness. Rapp concerns me greatly he has not practiced last two days. If he doesn't practice tomorrow (friday) very good chance he doesn't play and thats very concerning.
So disgusting. If you want to engage on the stupid narrative about Mahomes flagging and Chiefs flags, that’s your prerogative. But at least have the decency and talk about it on both sides then. There are literally 10-minute clips out there with Josh Allen flops.
LOLOLOL yeah ok you dont watch Bill's games The Bills historically get ZERO f all favoritism by the league to suggest otherwise is abject $%#@% the Bills are the dogs of the nfl like Detroit or the Clevland
Buffalo doesn't think this is our best team. We lost 6 captains, and have 30M lost in dead cap. Milano was out most of the season, either on the sidelines, or recovering from rust of not playing for 2 years. We should have a much improved roster next year. Everything Josh and the Bills can do this year is just gravy.
Chiefs didn't have Charles omenihu, Hollywood brown, Harrison butker, Jalen Watson, and Pacheco. And thuney hadn't moved out to LT yet. This game will not be like week 11
Before Watson got hurt for the Chiefs, they were a top 5 defense. After he was hurt, they were bottom 10. Look at the regular season game and tell me how many times Johnson got cooked on defense for KC.
I think it's a dangerous prededence to think guys are doing it on purpose. I highly doubt that's what's going through Mahomes head before he goes down hoping he gets the call. He's putting himself into potentially getting knocked out like Trevor Lawrence. People are just overblowing the vast majority of the Chiefs narrative. Feels like it's from people who only watch a few games of theirs a year and not watching snap by snap. It's easy to make a narrative with a handful of snaps you've watched. Patrick Mahomes has 4,171 Career passing attempts, and less than 35 roughing the passing penalties and less than 15 calls for a late hit in his 432 career rushing attempts. Just creating a ridiculous narrative when numerically hits on him just aren't called at any egregious rate compared to anyone else.
Hmmm, 16 and 2 is not bad at stopping other teams from scoring more than do. Teams win in yards, win in 1st downs, win in possession time, but Chiefs win in the score. So who is actually winning, wow, it's the Chiefs
What is the outrage about the Bills defense “being so hurt”? They have one starting safety out and their injured CB 99% will most likely be back. They were sooo much more injured last year for the playoff game.. like picking guys off the couch like was referenced. Chiefs are healthier than they were in the week 11 match up but the Bills are actually more healthy than they were in that week 11 match up despite the injuries they have right now….
These teams are so evenly matched that it ALWAYS comes down to 7 or less points, one possession. Sometimes just a field goal. A couple of plays every game(or extremely bad coaching decisions in a game Josh Allen had won) usually determine the winner. Whoever has the ball last, tends to be the winner. But I'm starting to think... given how hard it is to beat the same team twice a season, especially at this level of competition, among the league's very best, that the Bills should consider trying to lose against them in the regular season lol, because obviously both teams are expecting to meet each other in the playoffs every year. Joking of course(Or am I? Desperate times call for desperate measures) but I mean damn, the law of averages surely has to go in their favor once right? Like the ball has to bounce in their direction EVENTUALLY. Maybe a pass that was caught in the last game gets dropped this game. Maybe a penalty that wasn't called in the last game, gets called this game. Maybe an interception that was dropped last game, gets caught this game. Maybe last game Pat narrowly evaded a sack on 3rd down during a critical moment, but this game you get that sack and Buffalo gets the ball back. There's all sorts of little 50/50 coin flip moments in these games. And in THIS matchup, this history between the Bills and Chiefs, it just so happens that those 50/50 coin flip moments are what's generally led to their defeat in the postseason. I personally picked the Bills this time, and it's the first time I've picked them in a playoff matchup against the Chiefs. I picked the Ravens last week, but I did get the Commanders upset right. I just felt Jayden was playing too good, scoring too many points, and having to play this Lions defense that is so riddled with injuries, especially after they had a bye and may be a little rusty to start the game. Also picked the Rams, because I thought their d-line would do a better job against the running game(and I trusted stafford more to throw the ball in inclimate weather). So the Commanders game is the only one I've gotten right so far. Hoping I'll add another because unless you're a chiefs fan, it's impossible to ignore how big of a feel good story it would be for Buffalo to finally get their revenge, and potentially go on to win their first super bowl in franchise history. I just think, if you're the NFL world outside of Chief's Kingdom, that's probably much more intriguing to you than another KC super bowl appearance and likely 3-peat. The Chiefs are definitely becoming the Villains that the Pats were in the 2000s. The NFL world rejoiced when Eli Manning prevented Brady's perfect season. It'd be a similar thing here. PS: Regarding the Buffalo injury stuff, they're way healthier than they were last year. Rapp is the only guy who's confirmed out, everyone else is playing and this is the first playoff matchup against KC in the last couple of years where Buffalo is gonna have their front 7 completely healthy and ready to go. May make the difference. Gonna be a lot better than 32 year old AJ Klein who hadn't played a snap all season prior to that game. The loss of Rapp isn't nothing, it's definitely something...but it feels like Rapp is getting hurt a lot so this isn't new territory for them. The key to the game for me, for the Bills, is they have to find a way to generate pressure on Mahomes while only rushing 4. If they can do it(and they did it quite well in week 11), I like their chances.
As a Bills fan Josh has flopped more than any qb I can remember. There's the devil on one side of my shoulder who says it's smart football to pick up a free 15 and a first down. The angel on the other side says it's weak and unsportsmanlike. Fix the problem by making flopping illegal.
I think the Chiefs are in some serious trouble... 1) All of the chatter on the officiating favoring the Chiefs will have an effect of the officiating in this game. No official will want to be at the focal point of another questionable call in the Chiefs favor. The NFL also wants this chatter to end. The easiest way to make the chatter go away is for this game to have no such calls or even 50-50 calls. 2) The chiefs running game is not nearly what it was last season when Pacheco averaged 4.6 YPC. Pacheco seems to have lost some burst post-injury and Kareem Hunt is averaging 3.6 YPC this season. That is a HUGE difference. Without an effective running game, play action will also suffer and the Bills pass rush should be more effective. 3) Last season, the Bills didn't have either starting LB or much LB depth at all. As you mentioned, AJ Klein had to be activated from the couch and Kelce ate him alive. In Week 11, with just Bernard back, Taron Johnson shadowed Kelce whenever the Chiefs came out in 12 personnel (their most common package) and it limited Kelce to 2 rec for 8 yards. Even in 11 personnel, I imagine Bernard shadows Kelce. Either way, I don't see a big game from Kelce. 4) Mahomes had 0 rushes in the week 11 matchup. The Bills had Bernard frequently spy Mahomes on passing downs while being close enough to the line (threatening blitz) to occupy a lineman. Bernard would shoot as soon as Mahomes began to roll out of the pocket. Essentially, I think the Bills defend the Mahomes scrambles better than any other team in the league. 5) The Chiefs protection is not nearly what it was last season. Both tackle spots are a serious issue. Even with Thuney sliding over to LT, now the LG spot is also an issue. Much as it has happened all season, I think Mahomes will have to navigate around several pressures and hurries this game. This will also limited the effectiveness of targeting longer-developing routes to WRs down the field. 6) The Bills WRs are uniquely constructed to counter a single elite CB (McDuffie). Denver discovered this 2 weeks ago. Any skill position player can be the #1 read on any given play. Based on the Bills offensive output this season, it is clear they can win in a variety of ways, spreading targets to whomever has the most favorable matchup. Additionally, all of the Bills WRs are healthy coming into this game as opposed to their week 11 matchup where Kincaid and Coleman were injured. 7) The Bills do not turn the ball over. Their 8 turnovers this season are tied for the the lowest total in a season in over 30 years. The Chiefs MO of playing relatively mistake-free and waiting for their opponent to beat themselves won't work against the Bills. The Bills are also #1 is fewest negative plays this season. 8) Most of the media reasoning as to why the Chiefs have an advantage in this game are abstract or hopeful such as "Reid held plays/schemes back in their previous meeting". Every team has gameplan wrinkles for a specific opponent. That's coaching. But the media comments suggest the Chiefs didn't care about potentially losing the #1 seed in their previous matchup. That's absurd.
@@nobonesaboutit7639im with you. I feel like Buffalo punches them in the face early and win by 10 just like the first matchup. Allen isnt losing this game
@@billquantrill4960i actually think this very fact helps Buffalo. At some point everyone is due. KC isnt winning it every year just like Brady didnt win it every year as good and dominant as the Patriots were. There will be a year they get beat down. And they’ll likely rebound the following year as a result
The amount of time you spent talking about the Bills DL and the lack of time spent on the secondary is hilarious! That back end is BAD!! Hamlin is a charity case at S they’d have cut if they didn’t want the bad PR. Rapp is out or diminished and isn’t good in coverage. Benford is out or diminished. Douglas isn’t what he was 2-3 years ago. Johnson is out or diminished. NOBODY on that back end can run with Hollywood or Worthy. After last week Kelce’s gravity will only increase. DHop and Gray will absolutely feast over the middle. If the Chiefs don’t give the ball away they should put up massive numbers in this game!! The team hasn’t had a TO for 8 games and Mahomes hasn’t thrown an INT since week 11. They’ve take care of the ball. Not to mention how that always ratchets up in the playoffs. Taylor blanked Danielle Hunter last week, nobody on that Bills DL is 70% as good as him. Humphries could get the start at LT and kick Thuney back into LG. Then the run game improves massively on top of the pass game advantage. This should be a CLASSIC!!!
You forgot about Micah Hyde… notice that no one on the Bills is talking about him. He’s completely fresh and knows the Bills playbook like the back of his hand.
@ Poyer is washed up because he had 17 different bad injuries. Hyde had one major neck injury injury that kept him out for months, but he’s fully recovered from that. None of the coaches and none of the Bills media are talking about Hyde. That means either they decided he was washed up six weeks ago or they don’t wanna play their Hyde card yet.
Micah Hyde is J.A.G. compared to the charity case Hamlin or an injured Rapp he’s probably better. But that’s not prime Tyrann Mathieu back there, chill…
Troy Aikman was out of line IMHO. Think about it, the better Mahomes is the less Troy's records become. It's the game within the game. Allen is a QB that does the same thing. It's smart football and I'm so tired hearing about how the refs give the Chiefs all the calls. The same thing happened to Brady and NE when they was wining all the time. I got this game at about a 50 /50 chance of winning. All the Chiefs fans have sent the checks into the NFL refs funds so Chiefs edge. LOL
Time for redemption … bills were going for 3 peat, back in 66 … they won AFL championship 64, 65 … then lost to chiefs in 66 to go to 1st Super Bowl … chiefs certainly has had playoff ownership over bills … but .law of averages .. .it’s time for a Buffalo Stampede
Wte've figured out the Chiefs..it comes down to the last possession! Bills need to figure out how to get that last possession! The Bills will win this game.
Sure, last possession, that's the thing. As long as by "last possession" you DON'T mean scoring a go-ahead TD with 13 seconds to go. Or kicking a FG on the last play of the game. Good times.
Very likely it will be a last possession scenario. I like KC/Bills in the playoffs, two outdoor, cold weather teams are almost always a hard fought affair. Always fun to watch.
LOL that turnover status quo thing made no sense. Winning the turnover battle means being up turnovers, Chiefs or Bills. Otherwise it’s not a factor. The way you are trying to word it you were running round, robbing barns, stepping in the cow pies. Saying one team’s advantage is not turning the ball over and the other team’s is winning the turnover battle is like comparing an apple to an apple tree it didn’t fall from. More interesting: what’s the history of Josh Allen teams turning the ball over in the playoffs and particularly in important games they lost, eg vs the Chiefs?
I started following Nottingham Forrest too, mainly because their manager when they got promoted reminded me of Mr scheebly from school of rock. I didn't think they'd be good and thought they'd be relegated by.
Y’all are chiefs haters and you go on a 10 minute rant about officiating. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I will no longer be watching the majority of your content. I may catch snippets but you’ve officially lost a large part of my respect as analysts.
Bills mafia all the way for their 1st title! Most deserving. Kc philly redskins got titles. Guaranteed america is behind buffalo to do it. Everyone ive spoke with who lives in reality is done with the fake swiftie kelce garbage and chiefs favoritism. It was cool before she showed up is what it is Great team with hof gb and coach now its even worse then the belichick brady patriots. Buffalo by 10 making a statement.
nope refs are giving KC a hand up because of the revenue Swift brings in, estimated to be around 330 million only ones who dont want to see that are KC fans everyone else sees it clearly
Soooo……you guys going to address the fact that the QB in Buffalo leads the league BY FAR in roughing the passing calls since he entered the league? Oh Mahomes games the system? You gonna address, I don’t know. The OBVIOUS fake slide against Pitt in the playoffs he turned into a 50 yard TD run? How about the fact the Allen tries to break his own fibula trying to draw calls whenever someone breathes near him? For being sooooooo concerned with analytics and unbiased analysis, you’re double standard for Mahomes vs Allen gaming the system is……uninformed, at best, and completely disingenuous at worst. To be clear. Mahomes does game the system. You know who does it more often and more egregiously? Josh Allen.
Bills were missing there best run blocker last game also only played 6 linemen half what they normally do bc they were missing brown. I see them trying to just run it alot against the cheifs this game
You guys act like the chiefs control the refs, it's the refs. Also you can't blame mahomes for dodging tackles. Look at Josh Allen's flops this year. Mahomes "is manufacturing calls" lmao. Find a life you guys
PFF bozos. The injured chiefs players will be rusty. The bald guy doesn’t understand that the Bills also do not turn over the football. Do some research before you open your mouth.
Not like kc beat bills easy. Overtime and a miss fg. Oh they cant beat the chiefs in playoffs. Give me a break. Chiefs barley won 3 superbowls. No other 3 superbowl winners had it that tough. But had 1 loss blowout so dont talk like kc way above the rest. Otherway around just a play better
Most incredible storyline tjat everyone mentions all year is Digs and Davis. It's incredible!!!! It had to be reset year?????? HOW COULD ANYONE THINK THAT???? IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM LAST SEASON THAT DAVIS AND DIGGS MEAN NOTHING FOR THIS BILLS OFENSE. AND THAT ALLEN WILL JUST PLAY MORE RELAXED. CAUSE HE DON'T HAVE A DIVA ON HIS TEAM.

Troy Aikman still butt hurt about the 1 time he condescendingly tweet about Mahomes not having 33% of his Superbowl
Wish more people knew this. Dude wants QBs to get CTE like him
Aikman can't accept that in the end when all is said and done the Mahomes era Chiefs will be viewed as a superior team to his Cowboys.

They know there’s a compilation of Josh Allen flopping that was made a year ago right
Might be a good time to play it again. Allen puts himself into actual situations where he can be injured. Mahomes does not do that.
U guys are very irresponsible for pushing this false narrative that mahomes does this often.

@@toryjones4305numbers don't lie and the numbers say Allen is the king of getting flags to help his team, mahomes just beats him regardless 😂😂😂

This is the real joke. Mahomes is contact avoidance. Some of these people ought to actually watch the games.
@@JohnDean-ho5ov ya avoiding contact by slowing down at the sideline and intentionally take contact and flop like a fish. Makes total sense.
Jaylen Watson being back is huge for KC.That allows them to move McDuffie to the slot. The first game doing that would have put Joshua Williams and Nazeeh Johnson on the outside. If they do it this time, Watson will be outside and either Johnson or Williams on the other. If Johnson is getting torched like last time, then Williams can swap in. The first game both of those players HAD to play
Not enough people are talking about this. Before that Watson injury against SF, KC’s defense was completely dominant
johnson is the reason they lost in the reg sn every single big play was going through him
Josh Allen has twice as many roughing the passer calls but no mention
That’s one single stat what about all the other ones like pass interference and defensive holding?
yeah AP has put out the data on this....the chiefs are middle of the pack in penalties. doesn't matter if it's scoring drive, third down, fourth down, whatever....they are middle of the pack.
If Mahomes took half the hits that Josh Allen takes you might have a valid argument. I’ve watched defenders straight up punch Josh in the head and not get penalized.
@@matthewmolina3326KC has the 4th worst penalty differential since Mahomes became a starter and rank 21st in 1st downs due to penalty. Idk man. I want to believe it but the stats don’t justify it
@@paulyoung9243and I’ve watch Josh Flop a lot, I like him but he does flop. Also Mahomes has been hit 47 more times for a career.
These guys randomly say names. The Chiefs added Jaylen Watson who is a HUGE upgrade on the outside in the secondary. He was out most of the year.
For a couple of guys that love stats and analysis, you sure don't look at the stats of penalties. Instead you follow this social media narrative and anecdotes. And why is trying to draw a penalty one way ok, but not another way.
Exactly. Shows their bias and jealousy
Show the numbers then
Mahomes slid late, ur biased. Watch the replay, both defenders going at him full speed and he slides the last split second
Then Mahomes admitted to flopping on the sideline, just shows he's trying to game the system
@@DavidGonzalez-gm4oc still helmet to helmet
@@DavidGonzalez-gm4oc everyone tries to game the system. DL never calls for a hold, WR never tries to get PI, many other QBs flop or scream for late hits. Hard counts game the system. As long as it's within the rules
This is the real super bowl.
Do you have the feeling the winner of this game will be the super bowl winner? The eagles are great but I don't trust Sirianni.
Not at all and if or when your team goes to one you will notice a big difference. As different as this game is to the regular season.
I feel like every time the general public has this opinion, the “real superbowl” never wins.
Agreed
Sam, are you saying Mahomes wants to get hit in the head? Absurd.
No. He wants flags. When did sam say he wants cte
@freddiesimmons1394 in order to get the flag, someone has to hit his head. Sam says Mahomes tries to get falgs.
@MrDavidknigge this logic is like reducing war to "do you want to kill a bunch of soldiers???". No, but the ends justify the means.
Be serious
This is the second time I've watched and your take is asinine. Those tacklers were not aiming for Mahomes's midsection. They absolutely led with their forearms with the intent to hit his head, they just so happened to hit each other.
You can "see" in those "frames" (as you said) that they hadn't even gone into a tackling motion until Mahomes started going down. Good grief.
From their post game comments, Texans went into the game expecting to get bad calls. In that case, the only logical explanation for leading with their forearms and helmet crowns is that they were trying to knock Mahomes out of the game (oh, exactly like the Texans did to Trevor Lawrence, hmmm) and thinking that 15 yards would be worth it to play against Wentz.
Exactly. They were overly hopeful to lay him out and it cost them. Same with Will Anderson. He should know better than to hit a QB high. Coaches always say "Go for the drive zone," as in between the knees and shoulders.
L take on mahomes trying to “game the system” dudes just playing and cut inside thinking tgere was more yards. He slid late, but that happens all the time in the nfl. Stop this bs that because there was a bad call it was mahimes “gaming” the system
He may not have been trying to game the system this time but he does it so often he’s under a microscope now. Not everyone is just “ jealous” or “ crazy” here.
How many times have we seen him go toward the sideline like he’s running out just to spin back in last second for more yards? Slow down like he’s going to slide just to see the defenders slow down and start running again for a bit more?
It’s non stop with this guy. He wants the protection but only when it benefits him. When you pull enough rat moves people start to take notice and get annoyed.
It’s the leagues fault, the first time he did it years ago they should have flagged him for an unsportsmanlike penalty and created a flop rule of sorts. But here we are.
@@davidmccullough3762he definitely doesn’t do those things as often as Josh Allen.
He’s done it like a few times. He almost never puts his body in harm’s way September through December. To think he’s trying to bait a defender into hitting him late in a week 6 game is asinine.
He definitely game the system but that's perfectly OK.
@@davidmccullough3762exactly how many times?? Give some examples, games, week, season??? Got any?? Even one??? Bc everyone you cry about I can show others doing the same thing. Dante Culpeper use to run towards the sidelines then cut back inside... Did you cry then too??
@davidmccullough3762 so, he should not go for more yards, he should make it easier for the opponents to tackle him, benefit the other team instead, smdh.
Check the Mic has become one of my favorite places to get NFL talk. I'm a KC fan and there is a lot of silliness that seems to come with talking about a team that has had so much success in the Mahomes era. Steve and Sam are quality analysts that don't let much bias creep into their discussions, even if my fellow Chiefs fans complain to the contrary (we love our team and even the smallest slight will fire up the Kingdom). Keep up the good work! I will, of course, continue to enjoy a shouty Nick Wright defend my guys but I appreciate being able to check out a more measured conversation too.
This episode is extremely slanted against KC and pro Buf. The only way it's kinda not is that 1 of them picked kc. But not for any real reason.
@@bradleyhoward9638No it's not. 🙄 Some of you seem to think that any time an analyst is critical of KC or praises another team in the slightest, they're being biased. These guys have been critical of Buffalo and picked against them enough times for me to know that they are not biased in favor of Buffalo in any way. They both picked the Ravens to win last week.
16:00 that's a generous misrepresentation of the actual data. The actual data is that Clete Blakeman's crew wildly deviates from all other referee crews by calling not only the most penalties in the league, but also significantly disadvantaging the home team . The home team is 15% less likely to win with Blakeman's crew than any other ref crew in the league.
Thank you. For some reason these guys are all over the data and analysis except when it comes to officiating.
I guess the difference in the play offs is it isn't necessarily his crew. They just put the best people together.
So is it just canceling out homefield advantage? It's known refs subconsciously make calls in favor of things like that
I was at the 2019 AFCCG game vs the Pats which Clete was the head ref. I have a feeling he'll mimic his performance in that game with phantom calls to help the away team
High leverage play on the 2nd penalty? It’s was 1st and 10 after a 6 yards which it would have been 2nd and 4. Come on shoutie show. I’m a Packers fan but actually give the stats on RTP and UR per drop back for these QBs
JOSH Allen has the most roughing calls because he runs designed run plays... He is one of the biggest floppers in the league... They all do it... Receivers and D Backs want PI calls... Linemen want holding calls, kickers want roughing calls... QBs just get them more because they always touch the ball and are being watched until they get rid of it... SO both QBs in this game get a lot of calls... Just My Humble Opinion based on stats and facts...
The Chiefs are the most hated team in the country.... you guys are the most unlikable team in the history of professional sports
@@qcrew2938the Yankees, blue devils and 2011 Miami heat would like a word…
Your humble opinion I highly approve of. Good job.
@@qcrew2938 THE Chiefs may be the most hated... But that is because they are the Dynasty, not because they cheat... If you check the "actual" stats you will see that Mahomes gets the least amount of roughing / unnecessary roughness calls at less than 10%, while Josh Allen is at almost 94%, and several QBs are in the middle... But since the Chiefs are the current Dynasty they get all the primetime games and so they are more in the spotlight... So people just automatically ASSume they get favoritism, instead of actually checking the facts...
BESIDES, it is easier to claim the Chiefs cheat and get preferential treatment than it is to admit your team sucks and that is why you hate the Chiefs... Sad, but true... Just My Humble Opinion based on stats and facts...
Using Ailkman as a reference is sad and bias. Everyone knows he’s bias against Mahomes.
This crying is getting ridiculous and it’s just showing the emotional part of your analysis.
Look and the numbers.
Losing respect for these guys
Sooo butt-hurt. Cry more
💯
Luck involved? A depleted bills teams? They were missing linebackers give me a break. 7 straight AFC title games, 4 super bowls made, 3 won going for 3 in a row is lucky as hell. It’s hilarious that no matter what KC does there will always be an asterisk next to it
You are so boring with this referee stuff. It's painfull. Mahomes is not in top 10 on roughing the passer. I think. Sooo boring. Of course,Mahomes is doung that. Josh Allen is doing it the most. Why are you so boring????
There are other flags besides roughing the passer 🤦♂️
Boring because they aren’t going to act like flags are game changing calls and that Mahomes is just so amazing? Gotcha 🤦♂️
wrong
its a major thing
the bias in the Houston game was repugnant
everyone saw it except KC fans who benefit from it
@@HappyWolverineI agree. I can’t believe the refs blocked all those kicks, sacked Stroud 8 times, and just kept running past the Texans Defenders into the end zone. Shame on them!!!!
19:44 man. Josh Allen flops just as much. I came to this vid looking for real analysis and xs and os. Did you have money on the Texans? Wtf
The last time the Chiefs beat the Bills in the regular season was 2020... The first time Josh Allen's Bills and Patrick Mahomes Chiefs ever faced each other. They've won all 4 times they faced each other in the regular season since then.
It's funny they quote the biased stats compiled by who?? and then buy the the uninformed social commentary. This is why podcasts are a joke.
I miss the days of Ray Lewis, who NEVER complains cheaply, but plays through whatever obstacles to win. That kind of manhood is slipping away also. Now we gladly complain.
Jaylen Watson being back is so huge for KC. He looked like he picked up where he left off last week. 75.7 coverage grade this season
Jalen Watson.
Sam's voice and attitude is so annoying
Mahomes was simply trying to avoid getting smashed, not trying to draw a penalty. He tried to draw a penalty with the flop lol
I am a Chiefs fan and Leeds United fan. 40 years old. Its remarkable to be villains
Taylor Rapp going down is brutal timing. This is similar in magnitude to the LB injuries last year and the Tre injury in the 13 second game but no one is mentioning it.
Safety is the weak point of this d already and Rapp was key in keeping it from being a sieve.
Bishop is not ready for prime time yet and any time Hamlin and him have been paired this year the defense really struggled
This injury is being overlooked and may just cost the Bills this game.
Why is nobody talking about Micah Hyde?
McDermott has said he is not here to play@@David35687
They don’t have anything else to ding Patrick about. He’s excellent and kind. So, sad, unhappy people have to find a reason to denigrate him and drag down his Mr. Clean/family man reputation. I’ll just be happy when he shuts them up again.

Don't forget about Watson's back😊
sam monson really don't like kc
All this talk of Mahomes manipulating plays to get calls, yet no mention of Josh Allen flopping all over the place attempting to do the same thing
Yeah, I'm Chiefs fan, but Monson's objectively wrong about the second penalty involving Mahomes. Specifically, the declaration that 'Mahomes went down way later than he should'. I actually agree that the call was ticky-tack, but it was called by cues more than direct observation, and that's actually a good thing. You must keep in mind that the NFL has to be absolutely stringent when it comes to preventing CTE, so if they see or hear indicators of a hit to the head, they'll throw a flag. That's good, because then it's not a judgement call when the official has mere seconds to evaluate everything. If the refs decide on the fly what is or isn't serious enough to be a foul you're going to have errors in judgement that'll be even more controversial.
He's also wrong because he's not considering the play from Mahomes POV, expecting him to give up when he sees open grass to his left, instead of trying to get more yards. Watch the film, when he cuts left, the gap's there. What he didn't have time to realize was the two defenders who were rushing in to close that gap, so when he realized it, he went down. That the penalty is marginal is obvious, when you have the leisure to watch replays, but the folks on the field don't have that luxury. The game's almost entirely read-and-react, so there's no time to actually make decisions. That's also why "the refs are biased" is hogwash. They literally don't have time to consider whether or not they should intentionally blow a non/call to influence the game.
If you're sitting on the couch, you're not thinking like you would in the game, so you ain't that smart when you talk when you forget that fact. I'm getting sick of all the nonsense, including calls and "decisions" involving all the other teams. Players make mistakes, and so do refs, and sometimes it's not obvious that they're making a mistake at the time. Human error's an intrinsic part of the game, take away too much and the game will cease to be.
Yeah, I'm long-winded, but I said a lot more per word than most comments do. Deal.
As a Chiefs fan.. super glad the dude that picked bengals preseason is consistent with his hating and picking the bills to be wrong again.
Chiefs are the most hated team in America... we're all rooting against you guys
@@qcrew2938 loll yes.. cuse everyone just loves the 9ers
Picking another team isn't "hating".
Last week the narrative was the Bills couldn't stop Derrick Henry. Bills held him to 84 yds and won. Now the Bills are supposed to worry about Pacheco? Broncos and Ravens had the best run defenses and the Bills ran on both of them. These so called pundits don't know shit. They just like to hear themselves speak. Bills beat them 30-19 and didn't play well. Bills were missing 3 defensive starters and you saw how much different they looked against the Ravens.
The only player who will be out will be Taylor Rapp. Significant loss, but not impossible to overcome.
7 minutes spent on penalty discussions 🥱 boring
The Chiefs don't know what a penalty is because it's always on the other team
The complaining about the refs is such a tired take. There was one terrible call and one questionable call in one game, and suddenly the chiefs get refs help every game and it’s the biggest part of how Mahomes plays. They’re simply tired of the chiefs winning
The Texans had that catch on the sideline that they reviewed. They ruled it a catch and no one believes it was. But people only talk about the roughing the passer‘s on my Patrick.
Bills YET AGAIN do not have a real defense for their playoff game against KC. This is why they will never beat them in the post season. Chiefs are always healthy enough. They play calculated football; people rag on them for barely winning but they seemingly save their strength for when it matters (now). Bills are missing starting linebacker, starting safety, starting corner and possibly best player in Taron Johnson. Versus who? Playoff version of Chiefs? A win is not happening. Not until Buffalo can bring a healthy team into the post season. There is a reason football is physical. Endurance is a part of the game. If you can beat other people up then it helps you win. Same with boxing. Chiefs have more durable athletes and play more calculated ball because they know what they need down the stretch. I’m not a KC fan but I don’t know how other teams overcome the non-game aspects of trying to beat this team. Just not possible.
A real meh take
Those players will all be ready to go Sunday except for Taylor Rapp possibly. Bills are healthy
Benford will play and he'll be okay. Milano was practicing today and never really had an injury it was just soreness. Rapp concerns me greatly he has not practiced last two days. If he doesn't practice tomorrow (friday) very good chance he doesn't play and thats very concerning.
So disgusting. If you want to engage on the stupid narrative about Mahomes flagging and Chiefs flags, that’s your prerogative. But at least have the decency and talk about it on both sides then. There are literally 10-minute clips out there with Josh Allen flops.
Looks like only Rapp will miss for Buffalo. Cole Bishop season!
Allen gets more favorable calls than Mahomes.
LOLOLOL yeah ok
you dont watch Bill's games
The Bills historically get ZERO f all favoritism by the league
to suggest otherwise is abject $%#@%
the Bills are the dogs of the nfl like Detroit or the Clevland
Buffalo doesn't think this is our best team. We lost 6 captains, and have 30M lost in dead cap. Milano was out most of the season, either on the sidelines, or recovering from rust of not playing for 2 years. We should have a much improved roster next year.
Everything Josh and the Bills can do this year is just gravy.
Milano was not there for regular season matchup ..his 1st game back …. Was against 49ers…. He missed first 11 games…. He just now coming back to form
Chiefs didn't have Charles omenihu, Hollywood brown, Harrison butker, Jalen Watson, and Pacheco. And thuney hadn't moved out to LT yet. This game will not be like week 11
Bills will lean on the run game here. Spencer Brown is back...... they will run it, and compress the game.
Before Watson got hurt for the Chiefs, they were a top 5 defense.
After he was hurt, they were bottom 10.
Look at the regular season game and tell me how many times Johnson got cooked on defense for KC.
Kansas City will win this game because they're the better team and superior organization.
Most hated team in America
@@qcrew2938 Those two Super Bowls sting, huh? 🥲
@billquantrill4960 Everyone in America hates your team ahahahahahahahahahha sucks to be you!
I think it's a dangerous prededence to think guys are doing it on purpose. I highly doubt that's what's going through Mahomes head before he goes down hoping he gets the call. He's putting himself into potentially getting knocked out like Trevor Lawrence. People are just overblowing the vast majority of the Chiefs narrative.
Feels like it's from people who only watch a few games of theirs a year and not watching snap by snap. It's easy to make a narrative with a handful of snaps you've watched. Patrick Mahomes has 4,171 Career passing attempts, and less than 35 roughing the passing penalties and less than 15 calls for a late hit in his 432 career rushing attempts.
Just creating a ridiculous narrative when numerically hits on him just aren't called at any egregious rate compared to anyone else.
The chiefs not stop anyone on 3rd down. They need to pay attention on that if they want to win STOP Josh on 3rd down make him deal with 4th
Hmmm, 16 and 2 is not bad at stopping other teams from scoring more than do. Teams win in yards, win in 1st downs, win in possession time, but Chiefs win in the score. So who is actually winning, wow, it's the Chiefs
What is the outrage about the Bills defense “being so hurt”? They have one starting safety out and their injured CB 99% will most likely be back. They were sooo much more injured last year for the playoff game.. like picking guys off the couch like was referenced. Chiefs are healthier than they were in the week 11 match up but the Bills are actually more healthy than they were in that week 11 match up despite the injuries they have right now….
These teams are so evenly matched that it ALWAYS comes down to 7 or less points, one possession. Sometimes just a field goal. A couple of plays every game(or extremely bad coaching decisions in a game Josh Allen had won) usually determine the winner. Whoever has the ball last, tends to be the winner.
But I'm starting to think... given how hard it is to beat the same team twice a season, especially at this level of competition, among the league's very best, that the Bills should consider trying to lose against them in the regular season lol, because obviously both teams are expecting to meet each other in the playoffs every year. Joking of course(Or am I? Desperate times call for desperate measures) but I mean damn, the law of averages surely has to go in their favor once right? Like the ball has to bounce in their direction EVENTUALLY. Maybe a pass that was caught in the last game gets dropped this game. Maybe a penalty that wasn't called in the last game, gets called this game. Maybe an interception that was dropped last game, gets caught this game. Maybe last game Pat narrowly evaded a sack on 3rd down during a critical moment, but this game you get that sack and Buffalo gets the ball back. There's all sorts of little 50/50 coin flip moments in these games. And in THIS matchup, this history between the Bills and Chiefs, it just so happens that those 50/50 coin flip moments are what's generally led to their defeat in the postseason.
I personally picked the Bills this time, and it's the first time I've picked them in a playoff matchup against the Chiefs. I picked the Ravens last week, but I did get the Commanders upset right. I just felt Jayden was playing too good, scoring too many points, and having to play this Lions defense that is so riddled with injuries, especially after they had a bye and may be a little rusty to start the game. Also picked the Rams, because I thought their d-line would do a better job against the running game(and I trusted stafford more to throw the ball in inclimate weather). So the Commanders game is the only one I've gotten right so far. Hoping I'll add another because unless you're a chiefs fan, it's impossible to ignore how big of a feel good story it would be for Buffalo to finally get their revenge, and potentially go on to win their first super bowl in franchise history. I just think, if you're the NFL world outside of Chief's Kingdom, that's probably much more intriguing to you than another KC super bowl appearance and likely 3-peat. The Chiefs are definitely becoming the Villains that the Pats were in the 2000s. The NFL world rejoiced when Eli Manning prevented Brady's perfect season. It'd be a similar thing here.
PS: Regarding the Buffalo injury stuff, they're way healthier than they were last year. Rapp is the only guy who's confirmed out, everyone else is playing and this is the first playoff matchup against KC in the last couple of years where Buffalo is gonna have their front 7 completely healthy and ready to go. May make the difference. Gonna be a lot better than 32 year old AJ Klein who hadn't played a snap all season prior to that game. The loss of Rapp isn't nothing, it's definitely something...but it feels like Rapp is getting hurt a lot so this isn't new territory for them. The key to the game for me, for the Bills, is they have to find a way to generate pressure on Mahomes while only rushing 4. If they can do it(and they did it quite well in week 11), I like their chances.
Hey sam, now you're manufacturing the end result that wants mahomes hurt for doing what you say he should do. Go figure
As a Bills fan Josh has flopped more than any qb I can remember. There's the devil on one side of my shoulder who says it's smart football to pick up a free 15 and a first down. The angel on the other side says it's weak and unsportsmanlike. Fix the problem by making flopping illegal.
I think the Chiefs are in some serious trouble...
1) All of the chatter on the officiating favoring the Chiefs will have an effect of the officiating in this game. No official will want to be at the focal point of another questionable call in the Chiefs favor. The NFL also wants this chatter to end. The easiest way to make the chatter go away is for this game to have no such calls or even 50-50 calls.
2) The chiefs running game is not nearly what it was last season when Pacheco averaged 4.6 YPC. Pacheco seems to have lost some burst post-injury and Kareem Hunt is averaging 3.6 YPC this season. That is a HUGE difference. Without an effective running game, play action will also suffer and the Bills pass rush should be more effective.
3) Last season, the Bills didn't have either starting LB or much LB depth at all. As you mentioned, AJ Klein had to be activated from the couch and Kelce ate him alive. In Week 11, with just Bernard back, Taron Johnson shadowed Kelce whenever the Chiefs came out in 12 personnel (their most common package) and it limited Kelce to 2 rec for 8 yards. Even in 11 personnel, I imagine Bernard shadows Kelce. Either way, I don't see a big game from Kelce.
4) Mahomes had 0 rushes in the week 11 matchup. The Bills had Bernard frequently spy Mahomes on passing downs while being close enough to the line (threatening blitz) to occupy a lineman. Bernard would shoot as soon as Mahomes began to roll out of the pocket. Essentially, I think the Bills defend the Mahomes scrambles better than any other team in the league.
5) The Chiefs protection is not nearly what it was last season. Both tackle spots are a serious issue. Even with Thuney sliding over to LT, now the LG spot is also an issue. Much as it has happened all season, I think Mahomes will have to navigate around several pressures and hurries this game. This will also limited the effectiveness of targeting longer-developing routes to WRs down the field.
6) The Bills WRs are uniquely constructed to counter a single elite CB (McDuffie). Denver discovered this 2 weeks ago. Any skill position player can be the #1 read on any given play. Based on the Bills offensive output this season, it is clear they can win in a variety of ways, spreading targets to whomever has the most favorable matchup. Additionally, all of the Bills WRs are healthy coming into this game as opposed to their week 11 matchup where Kincaid and Coleman were injured.
7) The Bills do not turn the ball over. Their 8 turnovers this season are tied for the the lowest total in a season in over 30 years. The Chiefs MO of playing relatively mistake-free and waiting for their opponent to beat themselves won't work against the Bills. The Bills are also #1 is fewest negative plays this season.
8) Most of the media reasoning as to why the Chiefs have an advantage in this game are abstract or hopeful such as "Reid held plays/schemes back in their previous meeting". Every team has gameplan wrinkles for a specific opponent. That's coaching. But the media comments suggest the Chiefs didn't care about potentially losing the #1 seed in their previous matchup. That's absurd.

The amount of time you spent talking about the Bills DL and the lack of time spent on the secondary is hilarious! That back end is BAD!! Hamlin is a charity case at S they’d have cut if they didn’t want the bad PR. Rapp is out or diminished and isn’t good in coverage. Benford is out or diminished. Douglas isn’t what he was 2-3 years ago. Johnson is out or diminished. NOBODY on that back end can run with Hollywood or Worthy. After last week Kelce’s gravity will only increase. DHop and Gray will absolutely feast over the middle. If the Chiefs don’t give the ball away they should put up massive numbers in this game!! The team hasn’t had a TO for 8 games and Mahomes hasn’t thrown an INT since week 11. They’ve take care of the ball. Not to mention how that always ratchets up in the playoffs. Taylor blanked Danielle Hunter last week, nobody on that Bills DL is 70% as good as him. Humphries could get the start at LT and kick Thuney back into LG. Then the run game improves massively on top of the pass game advantage. This should be a CLASSIC!!!
You forgot about Micah Hyde… notice that no one on the Bills is talking about him.
He’s completely fresh and knows the Bills playbook like the back of his hand.
This isn’t 3 years ago Hyde isn’t what he was with Poyer at their peaks together.
@ Poyer is washed up because he had 17 different bad injuries. Hyde had one major neck injury injury that kept him out for months, but he’s fully recovered from that.
None of the coaches and none of the Bills media are talking about Hyde. That means either they decided he was washed up six weeks ago or they don’t wanna play their Hyde card yet.
Micah Hyde is J.A.G. compared to the charity case Hamlin or an injured Rapp he’s probably better. But that’s not prime Tyrann Mathieu back there, chill…
@ wow Micah Hyde is a naval Judge Advocate General? I didn’t know that. That’s awesome!
Troy Aikman was out of line IMHO. Think about it, the better Mahomes is the less Troy's records become. It's the game within the game. Allen is a QB that does the same thing. It's smart football and I'm so tired hearing about how the refs give the Chiefs all the calls. The same thing happened to Brady and NE when they was wining all the time. I got this game at about a 50 /50 chance of winning. All the Chiefs fans have sent the checks into the NFL refs funds so Chiefs edge. LOL
Time for redemption … bills were going for 3 peat, back in 66 … they won AFL championship 64, 65 … then lost to chiefs in 66 to go to 1st Super Bowl … chiefs certainly has had playoff ownership over bills … but .law of averages .. .it’s time for a Buffalo Stampede

Sure, last possession, that's the thing. As long as by "last possession" you DON'T mean scoring a go-ahead TD with 13 seconds to go. Or kicking a FG on the last play of the game. Good times.
@@DavidCalhoun-jf6bv I'm just going to say If Josh has the last possession and he is down by 4. He will score a TD 10/10 times.
Very likely it will be a last possession scenario. I like KC/Bills in the playoffs, two outdoor, cold weather teams are almost always a hard fought affair. Always fun to watch.
Milano and Taron Johnson have no injury designation. Benford is questionable
LOL that turnover status quo thing made no sense. Winning the turnover battle means being up turnovers, Chiefs or Bills. Otherwise it’s not a factor. The way you are trying to word it you were running round, robbing barns, stepping in the cow pies.
Saying one team’s advantage is not turning the ball over and the other team’s is winning the turnover battle is like comparing an apple to an apple tree it didn’t fall from. More interesting: what’s the history of Josh Allen teams turning the ball over in the playoffs and particularly in important games they lost, eg vs the Chiefs?
Bills play clean …. I don’t think anyone can beat them …
One of the best O line's plus a great run game!!! Cheifs D will not hold up in this game!!!

Yea that's why the Texans lost 😏
BILLS are scoring 3 points per drive average!!!! BILLS offense is better!!!
Y’all are chiefs haters and you go on a 10 minute rant about officiating. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I will no longer be watching the majority of your content. I may catch snippets but you’ve officially lost a large part of my respect as analysts.
All these talking heads forget you couldn’t so much as brush a finger across Brady’s helmet without getting called. Seriously tired narrative.
Nobody talks about how Josh Allen has the record for the most roughing the passer calls.
Our starting right tackle didn't play in that game either,he's back now!!!
Bills mafia all the way for their 1st title! Most deserving.
Kc philly redskins got titles.
Guaranteed america is behind buffalo to do it. Everyone ive spoke with who lives in reality is done with the fake swiftie kelce garbage and chiefs favoritism. It was cool before she showed up is what it is
Great team with hof gb and coach now its even worse then the belichick brady patriots. Buffalo by 10 making a statement.
Shut up about the refs! That is not a preview, you’re focusing on two calls in the past. Focus on the insights of the match up. Do better
nope
refs are giving KC a hand up because of the revenue Swift brings in, estimated to be around 330 million
only ones who dont want to see that are KC fans
everyone else sees it clearly
Soooo……you guys going to address the fact that the QB in Buffalo leads the league BY FAR in roughing the passing calls since he entered the league?
Oh Mahomes games the system? You gonna address, I don’t know. The OBVIOUS fake slide against Pitt in the playoffs he turned into a 50 yard TD run?
How about the fact the Allen tries to break his own fibula trying to draw calls whenever someone breathes near him?
For being sooooooo concerned with analytics and unbiased analysis, you’re double standard for Mahomes vs Allen gaming the system is……uninformed, at best, and completely disingenuous at worst.
To be clear. Mahomes does game the system. You know who does it more often and more egregiously? Josh Allen.
MAHOMES IS HIM
Most hated team in America.... we're all rooting against you until kelce retires
Sure.
Minimal analysis + maximum narrative = meh
It was 8.0 points
Bills were missing there best run blocker last game also only played 6 linemen half what they normally do bc they were missing brown. I see them trying to just run it alot against the cheifs this game
This bald guy is definitely jealous or something. Manufacturing flags 😢
Watch the games dummy mahomes is a pathetic flopper and crybaby
These guys have no idea Allen beat Mahomes 4 times WTF 😂😂😂
a whole segment on refs is disgraceful
You guys act like the chiefs control the refs, it's the refs. Also you can't blame mahomes for dodging tackles. Look at Josh Allen's flops this year. Mahomes "is manufacturing calls" lmao. Find a life you guys
PFF bozos. The injured chiefs players will be rusty. The bald guy doesn’t understand that the Bills also do not turn over the football. Do some research before you open your mouth.
Not like kc beat bills easy. Overtime and a miss fg. Oh they cant beat the chiefs in playoffs. Give me a break. Chiefs barley won 3 superbowls. No other 3 superbowl winners had it that tough. But had 1 loss blowout so dont talk like kc way above the rest. Otherway around just a play better
Most incredible storyline tjat everyone mentions all year is Digs and Davis. It's incredible!!!! It had to be reset year?????? HOW COULD ANYONE THINK THAT???? IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM LAST SEASON THAT DAVIS AND DIGGS MEAN NOTHING FOR THIS BILLS OFENSE. AND THAT ALLEN WILL JUST PLAY MORE RELAXED. CAUSE HE DON'T HAVE A DIVA ON HIS TEAM.
I think the Chiefs must score 30 to win this week, and I do not think that is likely.
No
The bald dude is getting paid for this trash take? Turning this channel off
