BOOM

Two TOs...... Tush push this twice and blow them off the ball!!!

COOK DROPPED ANOTHER FREAKING TD!!!!!

I know we're on offense, but this Kelce crap is killing me. How is there not 1 guy assigned to him man to man every down with a 2nd guy assigned to assist that guy on every play. He's literally the only guy that can beat you physically. So cover him and scheme up the rest.

If there was ever a time for a defensive TO, that was it. It was obvious something was wrong before the ball was snapped.

I said do something different with Kelce...... I didn't mean don't cover him at all.

They are not calling ANYTHING on the Chiefs...... The narrative of these refs coming into this game about them is proving to be true so far.

Need the offense to keep scoring. If we can get up a couple scores, it might help take Punkchecko out of the game.....

Nice stand...... But man, this defense needs to figure out how to cover Kelce. It should not be this hare when he's the focal point of their offense. Dodged a bullet a couple times there as guys were open. Offense might have to score 30+ to win tonight.

Kelce wide open again..... Whatever McDermott is trying to do is not working.

Can we please just double Kelce......and not with Klein.....

I hate using injuries as an excuse, but man.....we are beat up in the middle.

Defense has to keep the pressure on this drive. They had their chances on the last drive, but didn't finish. Come on D.....FINISH!!!

BOOM

We are definitely at a disadvantage at kicker. No way Bass makes that one. Nice play on 3rd down...... And, while he didn't get there, Von was a step away on that rush. He's going to get one......

Klein vacating his responsibility for no reason there. No reason that should have been a big play.

Points are good there, but man......we have to finish that drive with a TD. Big props to McDermott for going for it on 4th down. All night.

This game starting like crap

Ugh.....not the start we needed. Smart play by Kincaid, but that's potentially a drive killer.

Nothing more left to say. Just win. GO BILLS!!!

This was one of my thoughts going into the week. While I am not sure it should be our base defense for the game, I think we should up the pressure on Mahomes more than we have in the past. Honestly, outside of Kelce and Rice, I don't find their other pass catchers overly dangerous. Punkchecko is a worry for sure, but I think I am sending waves at Mahomes. I'm using simulated pressures and delayed blitzes at times. Send the initial rush, use a spy that can convert to a rusher anytime he sees Mahomes trying to escape the pocket. My hope is that by sending the waves is that even if they hand it off, the 2nd wave will be able to stop the run. Limit Mahomes movement in the pocket. He will turn his back towards the defense today looking for a way to escape. He does it all the time. Make him pay. In the past, you didn't want to send extra pressure because you feared getting beat down the field with Hill. He's not there anymore. Trust your CBs to lock up the outside WRs for 4 seconds while bracketing Kelce and make sure you get home. Again, not doing this every down necessarily, but there are definitely situations in longer down and distances to do it.

Man, listening to all these talking heads, we may as well not even play this game tomorrow. They have already crowned the Ravens Champs.

Obviously, this all means nothing without a win tomorrow, but while I think it will be a very difficult matchup for us to win on the road, I certainly wouldn't say there is no chance. We will be underdogs for sure, but I don't think that is a bad thing for this team at all. Even though we are favored by a bit tomorrow, it sure doesn't feel that way when you listen to everyone talk. But regardless, I think if we are blessed enough to beat the Chiefs, we can use our personnel to negate some of what the Ravens like to do on defense. I think our TEs might force them to not blitz quite as much because I think we can use them to stretch the field a bit forcing guys like Hamilton and Queen to play more coverage down the field than they might like to. But, that game plan is for another day. Tomorrow is stressful enough as it is. Don't need to think about how to beat the Ravens right now, but this was an initial thought.

I am rooting for the Bills. If we win, what will be, will be. Both the Ravens and Texans have their strengths and weaknesses and will offer a unique challenge either way. I have always subscribed to the phrase "be careful what you wish for" so I will not have a rooting interest either way. My focus is on beating the Chiefs and, if we are blessed to do so, we'll get ready for next week when the time is right.

It's going to come down to the defensive line in general. They haven't been getting pressure at the rater they were earlier in the season, but they have to get it done on Sunday. Not only in pressure packages, but they need to contain Mahomes and limit his running around in the pocket. Leave him no outs and get the arms up. Don't let him buy 5-7 seconds to find a guy open and don't let him make you look stupid. Most of his mistakes happen when you keep him in the pocket and have him force a ball late when he's about to go down. Make no mistake about it.....Mahomes will throw up a couple of prayers on Sunday. He does it all the time, but gets very lucky that more passes aren't picked off. So, make him pay. Force his luck to run out. Turn him over. As for the offensive side of the ball, it's going to be on Cook to make plays. The Chiefs always do everything they can to take Diggs out of the game and I don't expect that to change Sunday. Their corners will blatantly hold the entire game and make no mistake about it......they will get away with it. So, it's going to be on Cook and Kincaid to do work against their LBs and to keep the chains moving. Knox, and all of our other pass catchers for that matter, can't drop the easy ones this week. Last week Knox dropped an easy big play coming out of the half and killed that drive. We can't have those "shoot yourself in the foot" moments this week. Make the plays that are there to be made.
