NFL – Josh Allen and his nightmare with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs: Now he has to switch to the NFC – A gloss

The playoff nightmare for Josh Allen in red and white continues, the Buffalo Bills quarterback has been eliminated four times in four duels against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. Now perhaps radical measures are needed. A gloss.

Remakes or sequels of legendary classics have been a trend in the film industry for years. Stories that viewers know, but with a more modern, spectacular content and technical design.

Josh Allen would already have a starring role that would be perfect for him. As the Bill Murray of modern times, he could easily star in a remake of “Groundhog Day”.

Because like Murray in the 1993 movie, the Buffalo Bills quarterback – not named after Bill Murray, by the way – may gradually feel trapped in a time loop. Because (almost) every year, the same thing happens to him in the NFL playoffs.

The Bills are among the favorites going into the postseason and look good at first, only to lose again to the Kansas City Chiefs. Over and over again. For the fourth time in five years. The Super Bowl? It seems out of reach.

It would be little wonder if Allen had nightmares about Patrick Mahomes by now. Images of him raising trophies in a shower of confetti while Allen has to sit at home on the couch. Perhaps he is now hyperventilating at the sight of red and white clothing or people named Patrick.
All of this would be understandable.

Bills created their monster themselves

What makes it so much worse for him and the Bills, and the bitter irony of this fate, is that Buffalo created this monster itself. It was the Bills who, in the 2017 draft, made the Chiefs’ jump at number ten possible in the first place with a trade. That’s where Mahomes was picked.

Allen only entered the NFL a year later, but in retrospect he would probably like to play Marty McFly and travel back in time to smash the Bills’ phone to smithereens on that draft day. Or mix sleeping pills into the morning coffee of the people in charge. So another prime role for a possible remake.

That’s not realistic, so what can Allen do in the present to finally overcome this nightmare? Even rule changes didn’t help.

After the legendary playoff game in January 2022, the NFL even intervened to make life easier for the Bills. By the way, a friendly reminder to anyone who thinks the NFL always favors the Chiefs:

Back then, the Bills lost an incredible game in overtime because Mahomes and the Chiefs won the coin toss and immediately converted the following first possession into a touchdown. Buffalo and Allen never got the ball. That would have been very possible in the two subsequent editions if there had been overtime.

But to do that, you have to make it to overtime. However, if the kicker misses the field goal and a year later a 3:30-minute drive with three timeouts isn’t enough for three points, then higher powers could possibly be at play.

Allen has to go to the Giants!

But how do you get rid of them? Simple: you avoid them. And how do you avoid playing the Chiefs and Mahomes in the playoffs, at least before the Super Bowl? By changing conferences.

It seems that the road to the Super Bowl is blocked for Allen via the AFC. And the Bills won’t move conferences as a team, unless the Cowboys move to the AFC in return. Let them deal with Mahomes and the Chiefs! That is, if they ever make the playoffs again, of course.

Allen could therefore ask the NFL to relocate the entire franchise – or leave Buffalo. There would certainly be no shortage of potent teams in the NFC that could use a quarterback.

The New York Giants would be a perfect target. If any franchise has proven in the past how to stop annoying dynasties, at least in the Super Bowl, it’s the Giants, who have won twice in the final against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots with Eli Manning.

Won twice! In the playoffs! No, even in the Super Bowl! This is just screaming out for the perfect therapy place for Allen. The Giants obviously have it in their blood, they just need the right quarterback. And who is the current head coach of the Giants? Brian Daboll, Allen’s former offensive coordinator. The script is written.

You want to shout to Allen: “Do it!” And by the way, a Giants victory in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs would also be a wonderful remake of the past.
