NFL playoffs

Is Buffalo the worst climate in lower 48? Seems like upper Midwest but with extra snow and you can catch outer edge of hurricanes.

I think it's pretty clear to everyone, even Bills fans, that Cincinnati deserves to win this game thus far.

Does anyone think the Bills have played well enough to deserve to advance for a chance at a Superbowl over Cincy?
I mean… they didn’t play well enough to win last week either.

Shouldn't it have been a delay of game? Play clock was at zero well before the snap.

The lake effect snow is something I wouldn’t want to live with. Any small storm or cold front can balloon into feet of snow just because.

I don't think Buffalo's catching the outer edge of any hurricane. That being said, I can really only think of Duluth or parts of ND being worse.
 
I question the notion that he could simultaneously be a good quarterback and not legitimate. Josh is without a doubt a top 10 QB, and top 5 is certainly up for debate. This ESPN-like idea that one game defines a player as legitimate or not is silly. I'd imagine every elite QB has lost playoff games while playing poorly.
I agree that he's a top 10 quarterback, but is there a separation between him and Mahomes/Burrow? With Allen, as high as his highs have been, there have been some holes in his game this year. And the rumblings have already begun. Does he turn the ball over too much? Why does he seem to have problems in the red zone. Can he win the big game?
 
Mixon about a yard past the line…no TD. What is going on here?
Never thought Mixon should have been allowed to play in the NFL. He viciously punched a woman in the face when he played at Oklahoma, but that didn't stop the Bengals from taking him.

Accuracy, ball security. To me, he seems like he relies almost completely on his physical tools. Can't blame him, in his own way he might be the most talented if Mahomes wasn't reinventing how to throw a football in real time. But Mahomes has the coaching edge and Joe is a coach on the field. They both have better weapons, although all 3 aren't lacking for talented options. Joe Burrow is like prime TB12 mixed with prime Peyton and Joe Montana. Probably too much to ask but it's in the ballpark.

For those who may not know, Joe Burrow's dad is Jimmy Burrow, former ISU assistant football coach from 87-94.
 
I’d say there’s probably at LEAST 25 other NFL teams that would take Josh Allen in a heartbeat to be their starter.

Well his punishment at Oklahoma was to redshirt his freshman year, so not a shock he would play in the league.
 
I know it's easy to lay the blame at the feet of Allen, especially when he hasn't looked good today, but the Bills D giving up 8 yards a pop on the ground isn't going to give the offense a chance to get back into the game.

Their defense has been a revolving door today

Yeah, do you suppose Oklahoma fans are as proud of Mixon as ISU fans are as proud of Purdy?

Nobody is claiming that he's not good, or even very good. We're talking about the difference between very good and elite. My entire point is that if this score holds out, there will be plenty of offseason discussion about Josh Allen and his ability to win when it counts.
