This is arguably the scariest passing offense we will face this year. We all saw what Baltimore and Atlanta did to our secondary. Now we are expected to contain the likes of Rice, Worthy, Brown, Thornton, Kelce and Gray. On the other side of the ball, their defense has allowed a total of seven points in the last two games. And now we are expecting our clunky, injury-prone passing offense which lacks a true deep threat to cut up their number one scoring defense? Only an optimist could rationally take the Bills here. I'm not an optimist and I'm expecting a bloodbath. Bills........21 Chiefs....38 .

Ask me again around 8pm Sunday.

For me this is a real test of McDermott's coaching acumen. If Palmer is ruled out (which is looking likely) then let's face it - our best deep threat / X receiver would appear to be....gulp - Tyrell "The Shell" Shavers. Now.... even an eighty percent fit Davis would offer more. And of course he would know at least a few plays off the bat. The only question mark is his fitness. No ifs or buts. We have no way of knowing what his fitness level is. But if McD pulls the trigger and places him on the active roster it will tell me three things: 1... Gabe has reached the minimum required fitness level to play a handful of snaps and has looked at least serviceable in practice 2... That McD is acutely aware that he cannot threaten to get the dub against the Cheafs without at least a symbolic deep threat - if not an actual one 3... That this would be a risk worth taking given what is at stake Dunno about the rest of you, but I am praying for a surprise call up. .

This really is a dangerous thread for a Bills fan suffering from clinical depression as this could cause them to make a beeline straight for the shaving cabinet. Or the medication cabinet.

Where is the "Yes" option?

SS to BB: "You reached and got burned" Wow. Just wow. This year is well and truly on Beane.

The sad part about this is that he improves our 53 man roster. Which says more about our WR room and BBB than it does about Gabe or anything else.

Virtually zero expectations. We are wasting the best years of Allen's career. The ascending Reid / Mahomes led Cheafs are hardly a good match up for a team with a lame duck passing offense and injuries to 3 starting DT's in defense. Spagnolo sure as hell won't let Cook run amuck like Carolina did. I will be shocked if we pull off the epic upset.

My faith in the front office, Brady and the offense as a whole is at an all-time low after that presser. I fear that history's debate between which two teams with elite QBs massively wasted their careers will be between River's Chargers and Allen's Bills. It's just criminal at this point.

My main point was that this regular season game against the Cheafs matters far more than previous seasons because a win on Sunday would put us 2.5 games clear of them. Now, in that scenario, it would be improbable (which is what I said earlier) for us to play the Cheafs in the playoffs because (a) they finally have two genuine threats in the AFCW + some other tough opponents and (b) they would be 5-4 after a loss to Buffalo. So on the balance of probabilities, they would be unlikely to be the number one seed and therefore would be a wild card at best. All of our previous playoff meetings with them have been played as a contest between two division winners, so that will probably not be the case this year. So not impossible, but improbable. Especially if we also start as a 5-7 seed - which is NOT improbable given all of our issues + the Pats cupcake schedule.

At this point I would sign up without any hesitation to win the AFCE and get the 3 or 4 seed. Unfortunately, I think we will be a 5-7 seed and suffer a WC exit. The Oliver injury and lack of a deep threat at WR + the Pats getting a franchise QB on a cost controlled contract is just too much to overcome.

The difference this year is that the Chiefs are 5-3 and if we were to beat them on Sunday we would be two games clear of them plus the tie breaker. If that happens we probably wouldn't see them in the playoffs anyway.

I'd be lying if I said that "BT to the Bills would be a real nipple tweaker" was my first thought upon hearing this news. Agree 100% that Beane should start warming up those index fingers and thumbs.

This is arguably the most depressing thread on TBD since the Creed Humphrey and DK Metcalf threads.

The team's confidence is shot and the injuries are piling up. Yes, we are getting two guys back but they will likely be rusty. And one of the worst run defenses in the NFL has to curb arguably the best one-two punch RB department in the NFL. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I anticipate changes are coming in WNY after this one. Panthers.....28 Bills.............24 .

Maybe a coaching indoor pot plant that hasn't been watered for a week.

Yes, I just realised that now. Heck, that - sadly - might be a good thing.

I'm predicting he'll be traded for pennies in the dollar before we have a chance to exercise his fifth year option. Seriously....if Beane fell into a box of nipples, he'd probably come up sucking his thumb. .
