To me all these conspiracy theories out there are silly, so this was my attempt to mirror that behavior and bring a little levity/humor to that line of thinking. The current poll results in the Is the NFL rigged thread is wild to me, so why not have a bit of fun with it.

Things getting spicy in here.

"There was one problem, Mahomes and the Chiefs were too good, and Buffalo choked yet again..."

If discussing this game specifically, shouldn't the focal point be "Spags defense was too good"?

Let's consider for something for a moment... because everyone talks about how the Bills choked due to the fact we got the ball back with 3 minutes left and 3 time outs with a chance to win the game, as they were only down by 3.

First, why were the Bills only down by 3 and dependent on their defense to seal the deal?

Because the offense technically came up short on their goal of scoring a TD to remain in the driver's seat.

Second, was Mahomes on the field during the 4th and 5 play that sealed the Bills fate as they "choked yet again"?

And if the Bills didn't choke on that final drive with 3 minutes left, are we not hearing about how the Bills won the game because Mahomes and KC's offense had to settle for 3 points on that final scoring drive?


Side note... I don't think the game was rigged, either. I just think it was bad officiating, on both sides, and it just so happens one of their final mistakes was at a critical point of the game (4th and 1 spot).

I also agree that we "choked" but I'm kind of tired of the Chiefs defense being completely overlooked when it has easily been the most clutch unit on the entire team over their last 3-4 down to the wire playoff / Super Bowl wins.

Chiefs-Bengals AFCCG, Bills-KC last season, KC-49ers SB, Bills-KC this year

In each example above, the opponent's offense had an opportunity to score a "walk-off" TD at the end of the game, but KC's defense came up big.

No conspiracy theories here, just facts. Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL. But anyone that believes he is where he is today without that defense is certifiably insane.

Genuinely curious, why do you feel like the defense gets no credit? The NFL is a team game. Do QBs have more impact on the game than any other player on the filed, sure, but it still takes a team effort. I have seen nothing but love for Spags and the defensive unit throughout this KC run. Chris Jones is a beast. KC has hit home runs through the draft with guys like McDuffie and Bolton amongst others.

There is no recipe or formula. They seem to just win, and each win may look different than the last depending on the matchup.

And for what its worth, I love Josh Allen. He is a freakish talent and watching him play is must see TV for me. I think he is too good not to break through at some point.

People want to point to the catch by Worthy or 4th down spot. Those kind of calls go against every team every game. My satire was an effort to point that out. Obviously you disagree but I though the non face-mask call was worse than the catch and 4th down sport. It cost KC points on that drive.
As for the Worthy catch, we had a clear look from multiple angles and the ball never moved when it hit the ground.

The spot I never thought we got a clear look at so thought the play had to stand. Was it close, absolutely, but Buffalo gets at least 2 yards any time they run Allen out of shotgun. Why they kept trying to sneak it from under center was mind blowing for me. Maybe too much Philly influence.

I definitely appreciate the conversation. Losing a game like that is never easy. I just hate the narrative that because one team has been so good, it can only be because the game is rigged. It is a loser mentality and I am happy to hear you do not share it with so many others.

I guess I should rephrase. I acknowledge that the defense and Spags gets some credit, but I don't think they get as much as they deserve. In the past two seasons, I would argue that the Chiefs defense has been more clutch than its offense. But I also understand, the NFL is naturally biased towards QBs, especially superstar QBs.

Overall, this Chiefs team plays better complimentary football than any other "dynasty" or great team I've watched in my lifetime. That's what makes them great! They are not build like other great teams & dynasties in the past drop 30+ on a regular basis and dominate their opponents.

In contrast, the Chiefs have become a dynasty by perfecting complimentary football, which is even more remarkable in the NFL, because unlike MLB, NBA, NHL and soccer, you have a completely different group of set individuals on the field representing the offense and defense.

But that is precisely the reason they've won 18 consecutive one-score games or whatever we're at. When the offense comes up short, the defense picks it up, or vice versa. I watched the mic'd up clips after the game, and I noticed that when the offense failed to get into the end zone, MAHOMES said something to the effect of "Alright, now the defense is going to make a stop" as though it's an expectation, not a hope.

Compare that to Allen and his body language after the camera shifted to him before getting the ball back with 3 minutes left and 3 time outs. He seems to be saying "I'm ready. I'm ready." but I'm not looking at the 2024 version of Josh Allen in that moment. He looks nervous. And when he ends up taking the field on that drive, he plays nervous. There is one of the differences between these two teams right there.

I think the reason many of us Bills fans allowed ourselves to believe "this season might be different" is because Josh Allen was different this season. He was more calm and in control, he wasn't forcing passes, wasn't turning over the football........... And then the AFC Championship Game happened, and he regressed. Don't get me wrong, he had incredible moments in that game, but those moments were sandwiched between the start and finish of the game, and that's not how you beat KC, especially when you have the defense that the Bills have, and you're down your 2 best DBs this season (please don't take this as an excuse; just stating a fact).

But It speaks to how unbelievably well-prepared this team is in the playoffs compared to, well, everyone else. As I've said in previous posts in other threads, it's fascinating to see ALL of their receivers rise to the moment in the playoffs and NOBODY is dropping passes, as if the entire team is dialed into this championship performance level, but when you plug these players in on other teams in the NFL (Hardman, Hunt, JuJu, MVS, Sneed, you name it), or even when they are playing on KC in a regular season game, they are not the same player. It's incredible. And I am incredibly envious to the point that it sometimes make me sound bitter, I admit.
