I'm just glad we finally get to see Mahomes have to play a playoff road game

In a pretty tough environment against a team that is desperate to get over the hump

That crowd in Buffalo should be awesome

You think?

They have a good rivalry (that might be reason enough alone) but neither team is very good.(imo)

Packers/Niners I suppose could be a fear of blow out. But 2 ascending teams with 2 ascending qbs. Plus the much nicer weather.

Edit: there is just something with watching Allen/Mahomes run and then attempt their fake slides but then when they really slide staring and yelling at the refs to throw a flag over any sort of contact. Especially with the 250lb Allen. I just don't enjoy it. But that's me...(the whole reason for his 52 yard td run is the defender thought he was going to slide so pulled up)

I don’t consider KC/Buffalo a true rivalry until the Bills get over the hump in the playoffs.

The Bills have shown a lot of potential, but the reality is they have simply not been able to stand up when it matters most these past 3 seasons.

This is an incredibly important game for the Bills organization. If you can’t beat this Chiefs team in Orchard Park, then that sets them back

Atmosphere-wise I just think Bills fans are nuts and they hate the Chiefs as much as anyone. It would be a spectacle from that sense. But yeah, the constant bitching to the refs by both Mahomes and Allen any time there is a remote level of contact (either on a slide or after a throw) is annoying

I’ve been to Levi’s a few times. Twice this year (both their home losses — Bengals and Ravens), and it’s kind of a meh atmosphere. Though maybe different for the playoffs. I could go and pretend to be a Packers fan

You can blame Brady if you don't like the way QBs react to hits etc these days. He was the poster child for the league going soft with protecting the QB. You could not touch him, without a 15 yd penalty being called. Nobody cried about hits more then Brady. 50/50 hits were always called in his favor. Even the non hit call against Atlanta last year, was the reason the Bucs even got into the playoffs.

So QBs these days pretty much had to follow Bradys lead. Which sucks.

Brady was not innocent, that's for damn sure

I remember that call in the Atlanta game, though in fairness Falcons got two good calls that kept them in that game

Wrong culture.
Wrong coach.

Lack of attention to detail, like their mediocre kicking game which may cost them at some point in a close game.

That said, 7-1 under OC Joe Brady since they fired Ken Dorsey (6-6 at the time), so that's an improvement.
