00:00
You can bemoan the fact that KC is the same old story.
00:04
Oh, here these guys go again to play for a Super Bowl.
00:07
You can start your conspiracy theories about the referees
00:10
and the officiating, whatever you want.
00:12
Kansas City makes the plays when it matters most,
00:15
and it is why KC will play in its fifth Super Bowl
00:19
in the last seven seasons.
00:21
It is why Kansas City has ousted Buffalo from the postseason
00:26
four times in the last five years.
00:28
Donnie, we talked about these familiar foes
00:30
in these significant stages basically every season
00:34
for the last half decade
00:35
when the Buffalo Bills have won the AFC East.
00:38
They have been unable to surpass
00:41
Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City,
00:44
and once again, you see it there.
00:46
The last three matchups between these two
00:49
decided in the fourth quarter and or overtime
00:52
decided by six points or fewer.
00:56
It is the same story.
00:57
Buffalo unable to get past Kansas City,
01:01
and it's now history for the Chiefs,
01:03
becoming the first team in NFL history
01:05
to eliminate the same opponent
01:07
four times in a five-year span.
01:10
It's crazy, too, because you have Buffalo
01:12
with the success in the regular season
01:14
against the Kansas City Chiefs, but when everything matters,
01:16
they just can't get over the hump,
01:18
and there will be slander today
01:20
on the Mar Jacksons of the world and the Josh Allens,
01:22
but I don't participate in that.
01:24
Like, I didn't watch that game.
01:25
Like, man, Josh Allen, even, trust me on this, though.
01:28
He had a lot of turnover-worthy plays in that game,
01:30
which ended up not being turnovers,
01:31
specifically probably there,
01:32
but you just have to look at the final statistics.
01:34
You're not going to look at that game and say,
01:36
Josh Allen lost that football game
01:38
or he wasn't game to beating Kansas City.
01:40
It's just now we're at the point.
01:41
It's like Kansas City just doesn't lose.
01:43
It's what they do.
01:44
If they win another Super Bowl,
01:45
nobody's ever won three in a row here,
01:47
and then you're going to say next year,
01:49
I think Travis Kelce is going to retire
01:50
when they win three straight Super Bowls.
01:51
No, they're going to bring the band back together
01:53
and probably add on even more pieces than what they have now.
01:56
The joke was last year was the time to get them
01:58
because that was probably their least talented team,
02:00
and they went on the road with the hardest stretch
02:02
we've ever seen beating three opponents
02:04
they shouldn't have beaten here,
02:05
and now we're finding them back into the Super Bowl.
02:07
That's my takeaway.
02:08
Like, you want to slander the Bills and Josh Allen,
02:11
but when cooler heads prevail, you go,
02:13
what do you want them to do?
02:14
It's the Chiefs.
02:15
They beat everybody, you know?
02:18
Yep, it's what they continue to do.
02:20
Again, we could do the examination
02:22
with the preseason odds on Kansas City from 2018 on.
02:26
The seven years that Patrick Mahomes
02:28
has been the starting quarterback for the Chiefs
02:31
and how much money you would have
02:33
with a $100 bet on KC
02:35
simply to win the AFC Championship,
02:38
which they have done five times in that seven-year span.
02:42
We will talk more about this dynastic run,
02:44
the history at stake in New Orleans,
02:47
in the history already made by KC
02:50
becoming the first of nine back-to-back Super Bowl winners
02:54
to play in a third consecutive Super Bowl.
02:58
Again, history for the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.
03:02
For the Buffalo Bills, DRS, yet again,
03:05
you can look at the Pantheon,
03:06
you can look atop the mountain
03:08
where KC and Andy Reid and Mahomes still stand
03:11
and say, man, we are going against generational greatness.
03:15
That is the thing holding us back.
03:18
But with Josh Allen, specifically in the last five years,
03:21
winning a division, hosting at least one playoff game,
03:24
this is really starting to sting.
03:27
Eight years under Sean McDermott,
03:28
seven playoff appearances for Buffalo,
03:31
including six consecutive.
03:34
A 7-7 record in the postseason for McDermott
03:38
that features only two berths in an AFC Championship,
03:42
never a Super Bowl appearance.
03:44
Buffalo, as an organization,
03:46
has not reached the biggest of games since 1993,
03:49
now over three decades ago, of course,
03:51
when the Bills made four consecutive Super Bowls
03:54
and were unable to win a Lombardi Trophy.
03:57
A 7-7 playoff record for Sean McDermott, DRS,
04:01
but five of those seven victories
04:04
coming in the wildcard round.
04:06
Should there be slander to those from Western New York,
04:09
or is it just, man, we kind of get it,
04:12
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
04:14
are just the reason you come up short each and every time?
04:18
Yes, it's your escape clause,
04:20
and it's very valid at that point.
04:21
It's the same with the handicapped Chiefs games now,
04:23
by saying, oh, they just have to win the football game,
04:24
bet them, like, I'm not throwing any slander,
04:26
like, now you have to make a change.
04:27
You go to Wu with Sean McDermott,
04:29
he keeps running up against the Kansas City Chiefs
04:31
and can't get over the hump, but understand this too,
04:34
this was a Buffalo Bills team over the past three years
04:36
that was like, you know what, now's their time,
04:38
they're gonna get to the Super Bowl.
04:39
Entering into the season,
04:40
they weren't that hot commodity for me in the AFC anymore,
04:43
so I actually look at this Buffalo Bills team,
04:45
I don't wanna say overachievers,
04:47
because that's not fair, they have Josh Allen,
04:48
a quarterback, he can win anywhere at any time,
04:50
or at least that's the perceived notion,
04:51
but this was a team that said, you know what,
04:53
we're gonna trade away Stephon Diggs,
04:54
we're gonna lose a couple players on defense,
04:56
some cap casualties, we're gonna respond,
04:58
we're gonna draft a young wide receiver in Keon Coleman,
05:00
who, it's unfair to call him a bust,
05:03
but you were expecting those expectations
05:05
based on he had funny interviews
05:07
coming out of Florida State,
05:08
and how great he was gonna be for the Buffalo Bills,
05:10
and in the biggest moments, he couldn't produce.
05:12
You know, probably would've,
05:13
if you had a healthy Stephon Diggs,
05:15
or a true number one wide receiver,
05:17
but I can't fault Buffalo, they tried with Amari Cooper,
05:20
he's just cooked right now, Ben,
05:21
that's all it is to it.
