I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info. He's kind of gone under the radar a bit.

I don't know. I'm just focusing on beating the Chiefs. All that other stuff can be addressed later. I don't see how it's going to be downhill going to Baltimore. Does anyone else think the Texans could win?

I don't see the Kamara comparison. Kamara is an excellent ball catcher and seems to have a bit more explosion. He's seemed to drop off quite a bit this year.

He's been disappointing this year.

So you are calling for a Bills win? I have it as a toss up. You better be right!!!

I'll take your word for it. To be honest, I'm not familiar with him. I kind of stay clear of the whole situation.

I can't argue with the data. Somehow, I feel like the data is or should be diluted with the Chiefs. Come playoff time Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid just win. Last year was a great example of that. To this day, I don't think they were that good.

They certainly stuffed the Dolphins run game. I think the Chiefs can slow down the run game if they commit to it. Its a tough ask because Allen is so good. They also will have a spy on Allen. The key is their secondary winning the one on one battles. That secondary looks to be one of the best in the NFL. If the Bills pass catches aren't effective the Chiefs might load up the box. McDuffie is a good run stuffer

What's really not being talked about much is the Chiefs defensive game plan. We all know Spags is pretty aggressive and will bring some timely pressure. This can be a game where Allen is running for his life. I feel like their secondary matches up very well with the Bills WRs. Diggs is largely a non factor vs KC. Shakir doesn't get enough volume and who knows about Gabe. Either way Gabe isn't reliable. The x factors are Kincaid and Cook. Both could have some big games.

Number 2 really concerns me. This is the exact type of game that Milano would thrive in. I think we all know this...

Agree the Bills really need Cook. In the past KC would be less concerned with stopping the Bills running game. I think a lot has changed recently. The Chiefs secondary is much better as well as the Bills run attack is. Interesting to see how successful the Bills can run it and how much KC tries to attack it.

I like this optimism. Hope you are right by a million. You think they put Rasul on Kelce? Interesting. WR Rice looks dangerous. Someone has to account for him and his speed.

Gunner, what would be the plan B to try to limit Kelce's success? I am really afraid of Mahomes legs in this game. He can really make huge plays by extending plays and taking off. I really respect the KC D. Josh can almost be unstoppable at times and the Bills will need his best version vs that D. I will mention that the Bills O did pretty well vs a pretty tough Pitt D. Granted no Watt tremendously helped. I think that's the most or pretty close to the most their D has given up all season. Do you think this could be a Gabe game if he plays? Lastly, I'd like to discuss McD. Against Pitt, his number one priority was stopping the run. The pass threat was minimal. Thus, the Steelers were a pretty easy game plan for McD. However, the KC offense is a totally different animal for obvious reasons. Despite their offensive struggles they remain a dangerous team especially in the playoffs. Last year, they won it all while many of us thought they weren't that good. Wondering what kind of game plan McD has to stop Pacheco who didn't play last game, Kelce, Rice, and Mahomes?

Well the fact is the Bills defense is not healthy. Mahomes certainly won't get the best defense the Bills could have on display. Sucks, unfortunate, and sucks some more. Injuries always play a part in football. McD knows the Chiefs offense. He's been somewhat successful with his game plans. Unfortunately, not as much come playoff time. Hopefully, things change will the home field advantage. The next man up mentality has really been true with this Bills defense. Klein off his RV played remarkable well. Elam with a huge INT and Dorian Williams flashing. This is very encouraging. It will take a total team effort to win. The Chiefs team isn't as dominant as previous years. Yet, they are very scary with Mahomes and Jones anchoring their perspective sides. Not to mention their secondary is lights out. Reid will likely have a few tricks up his sleeve. On the other side, McD has done a superb job with his depleted D. Hopefully, it can continue. During the winning stretch his defense has been able to close the games. Gotta see it in this game; a huge playoff game. We all know this hasn't been the case. It's his nemesis if you will. Get the monkey off your back. I believe McD is going to be pretty aggressive on offense. I can see him going for it on 4th downs. On defense, Mahomes is a blitz killer. The front four has to get pressure. Likely they can attack their tackles where they appear to be weaker. I wish I could say it's Von Miller time. How great that would be. Just can't see it happening. Lastly, the Bills need McD not to blow it. I don't say this in a sarcastic manner. 13 seconds has to be on everyone's mind. It's inevitable. McD was fortunate that the end of the half debacle didn't cost the team. That absolutely gave Pitt life as they were on life support. Making coaching mistakes are going to happen. I get that. However, coaching blunders just can't happen when the teams are so evenly matched.

Really no need to fact check it. It's off by a country mile.

Just because someone is critical and or pessimistic doesn't make them any less of a fan. This is really flawed logic here. I'll use myself as an example. I'm extremely critical and often think for the worse. I don't have to tell anyone here this. No surprise here. Wish I wasn't this way but it's perhaps in my DNA. Perhaps, it because of the past trauma as a 50 year Bills fan. Maybe I'm suffering from PTSD sort of speak. Who knows what's behind my thinking? Point is I'm a huge Bills fan. Live, eat, and sleep it sort of speak and within reason. I take Bills losses pretty hard. I've softened up a bit over the years with age. Truthfully, all I want is one ring!!! I believe this would instantly adjust my thinking. Everything else would be gravy because my dream will have come true. I can't wait until Sunday. The Chiefs are very beatable but yet so formidable. I truly see this as a toss up game. Please Bills beat the Chiefs!!! Go Bills.

I have no idea about your credibility. Nor do I care if others dislike your post. However, I will say your credibility takes a big hit when you throw that 75% number out there. No way no how is the discrepancy that big. The Chiefs surely can win and there's a viable path and validity to make that claim. Vice versa too. This game is about as close as it gets when you analyze the data, facts, trends, injuries, luck, players, coaches, home field, etc ... You 75% number is more likely around 45% to 55%.

No! Allen all the way.

I hope you are onto to something here.

That's fair. There will always be debated about who is a better coach. All of them have their strengths and weaknesses. For me, an elite coach has to lead his team to a championship. Until then, a coach will always be scrutinized about that failure or lack of success.

The biggest difference is Tomlin has the ring. If McD gets a ring he will be looked at much differently.

A little reality check here.👍 Your denial is deep.

Tomlin seems like a pretty straight forward and classy guy. I guess some people enjoy criticizing others to get their points across. I guess that's not neither here or there. I mean it's pretty absurd to imply that Tomlin is less than a very good coach. I'm not here to defend him but your slander seems pretty ridiculous. It's widely accepted that Tomlin is a very good coach. But hey, you do you. I've really not heard many football fans including Bills fans say McD is a poor coach. The primary criticism is McD has been unable to get this team under an elite franchise QB to the SB. Not bringing a Lombardi to Buffalo. Truthfully, that's the criticism valid or not it's likely to continue until McD achieves this feat. FTR, both McCarthy and Tomlin with their elite franchise QB have brought home a Lombardi Trophy. That's not an insignificant fact. The team wasn't even expected to sniff the playoffs this year. Tomlin's biggest mistake was drafting Pickett. I can get behind that criticism.

That was really funny.

I agree. I also like Olsen too. He's good with the X's and O's
