Had Star and that was it for a while. Jordan Phillips and Daquan Jones are big bodies. Not having Oliver hurts but also makes it harder to scheme runs against. Off the bus the Bills Oline and Dline are something right now. Slowly becoming ass kickers on both sides.

Hold em out no? If they are not 100% snap count limit or make inactive? Yes.

Hoecht was here for 2 games and Oliver is hurt every year. KC scored once in the second half. Needed a 4-17 to accomplish that. Without both guys. I think the defense will be ok. Does it suck? Yes.

No. Ironically, its helps Buffalo either way. Colts, Denver and LAC all get their measuring stick/gotta have it game in November or December vs KC. Colts and Broncos are bit of paper tigers. I dont trust either Qb. LAC cant field an Oline and defense is leaky. I think KC goes 3-1 vs Denver Twice, Indy, and LA. Indy goes 10-7, Losses to KC, Houston, SF, Seattle, and Jacksconvile. That gives them splits with Hou and Jacksonville down the stretch and win vs Atl over seas. AFC west beats up each other. Bills clear NE and win the 1 seed.

I think Davis or Johnson could go for 20 carries and 100 plus. The displacement upfront doesn't change with Cook limited or out. Takes the 40 plus plays off the table but still will be effective. Play action will be open.

Coming off 27 carries this is to be expected. I hold him out of practice until Friday. With his work load I get Davis and Johnson more work vs Miami. Even without an injury I would try to keep Cook under 15 carries this week. If he is less then 80% I would hold him out. This is an Oline and play-action game. I think Davis can have a NYJ type performance.

I like the shift to size inside. If he can eat some double teams and muck up the middle I'm all for it. TJ Sanders coming off IR will be a-lot of help. Jones getting healthy really improves the room as well.

I wouldn't do player for player. Role for role. More 3-2 and 3-3 looks. Combinations of Bernard and Milano in coverage with Williams as spy/ blitzer and Thompson a blend of both. Solomon I'm not sure about. Jackson is at the gotta show me something phase.

Drew Brees only Superbowl in NO came with his lowest Attempt as a Saint. They had a run game. Allen finally has a run game. Utilize it. Allen is still great. He doesn't have to throw 40 times a game. Get under center beat up defenses hit shots over top in PA. That is the formula to win.

I think the Bills were a bit unlucky that the biggest sellers at the deadline were the Jets and Dolphins. Neither willing to work with Buffalo with in reason. Saints kept Olave. Shaheed was a target but his price tag was steep for a rental. Palmer getting healthy will be big imo. He can open up the down field passing game off play-action. Can Davis run and can Coleman find a rhythm are 2 questions the can help as well. 6-2 with an improving defense and top 3 offense is still a good spot to be.

That should have been done weeks ago or a few days from now. Looks really stupid timing wise.

He needs some help. Walker playing less snaps will improve his play. Playing a little too much at the moment and its affect his consistency. At his best he is unblockable at times.

Dolphins are who they are. I think Buffalo stop Achane the game is over quickly.

More dead cap for a player who isn’t/wasn’t playing great. It’s not free money and a reason they are not always just done.

Agreed.

I find it hard to believe Buffalo pulls the lever on the Johnson deal without a deal in place. Buffalo doesn't have leaks. I feel like the media and “rumor” mill is always days behind Beane and the calls he is making. Most deals/trades Buffalo make are reported when the trade is sent into the league.

Every one talks about the off coverage. Yes, Wallace should have had inside leverage. No one talks about that just that the Bills defense was back. Running in the ball in the red-zone and running out the clock to play for overtime are not the same thing. Yes, no way Mahomes makes a 20-30 yard completion and gets 2 shots at the endzone. Basically, exactly what happened anyways. Slightly more difficult but not unreasonable for him. Go for 4th or kick were the main options with draw back being similar to punt. As someone posted analytically the win probabilities were all negligible.

So it’s a go situation vs kick. I think I would give Prater a little better odds of making it vs the offense converting. Mcdermott is almost always on the analytic side of these choices. This was the proper decision imo. With about equal odds the punt is the only play that doesn't win it.

I disagree with every one of these. Including 13 secs. 1. 13 seconds. The kickoff can be debated. With a little under 2 mins left the secondary was up and Hill took a crossing route 70 yards for a touch down. On the next play are you calling the same defense that just gave up 70? You are playing off. 2. You pay Allen 250 mil because numerous times he has gotten into field goal range in absurdly fast fashion. Lions game, Dolphins game. I would fire Mcdermott on the spot if in that moment or one similar he takes the ball out of Allens hand. 3. Kick wins the game. Prater has the leg and career of making them. Draw back they have 23 secs to go 60 yards. Positive you win the game. Maybe go for it with Allen. At that moment I think Prater making it was slightly higher probability than the offense converting. KC and Spags are tops in the league in those situations. Vs the best teams go for the win every time.

I dont really buy into any of this. The Chiefs are 3rd in their division. That 4th and 17 play and play call tells you everything you need to know about how important this game was to them. Never ran that play before. If they don't pick up that first down they knew the game was over. Defense was dead. No different than years past. Making 1 more play than Buffalo doesnt make them these masterminds that coach circles around em. Two years ago missing their top 2 linebackers and safety, last season missing their top cb impacted those games most.

Honest reaction. Maybe keep some things close to the vest. Overall, you can tell how excited he is and the work on and off the field is paying off.

No

Dalton Kincaid playing like a top 5 Te makes the current offense sustainable and explosive. Shakir and the Wr fit it around him and the run game.

Hairston, Bishop and Hancock are the future and present. Benford and Taron will benefit from their play. The secondary all of sudden is athletic and multiple again. White and Poyer deserve alot of credit for their play as of late and presence in the room to get the young guys to the level they are at.

What makes Hoecht unique is he has athleticism but was a DT in college and is able to win with power inside. Having smaller guys using speed makes it easier to wash them and create a rushing or passing lane. His presence in the lap makes a forward escape less likely or appealing.
