If the Bills win it will because Allen and the offense carved the KC defense. The Bills defense is important but at best they can just contain Mahomes. This defense with the front four cannot generate enough of a consistent pass rush to disrupt and stop KC. Also, the Bills have no answer or player to stop Kelce. A hobbled Milano will get torched. Tyreke is as dangerous as ever especially if they over compensate for Kelce. CEH seems to be playing much better. Screen passes seem to be effective against the Bills. Look at the Wash game for evidence. As mentioned before, the Bills defense has faced the bottom of NFL offenses. The KC offense should be able to move the ball and score. Reid has outcoached the Bills staff by a country mile. His team will have the answers vs the Bills defense. Perhaps the pouring rain can assist the defense. On the other hand, a sharp Allen with Diggs, newly acquired Sanders, Beasley, and now Knox presents an immense problem for the Chiefs. A serviceable running game and a great Daboll play calling should lead to a highly effective offensive scoring output. The Bills have been great at getting turnovers. Hoping the defense can get a few and put the offense in great positions to score. Getting a win in Arrowhead is no easy task. I believe the Bills team will be ready. They should be mentally tough and experienced for this prime time game. I don't think the moment is too big. Josh has to come out of the gate much better than the previous games. Sorry for the ramble.

You think KC is a bad match up for the Bills?

Love the way he plays. Just too bad the guy can't stay healthy. That was the major concern resigning him.

The weak KC defense should help.

Nope! KC offense probably won't score less than 13 points for the whole season. What makes you think the Bills D can hold the Chiefs to 13?

That's fine too. I'll throw in a donut or a bagel too.

If the Bills hold the Chiefs to 13 points I'll buy you a Starbucks.

I think that's much easier said than done. I don't disagree with your thesis. The run game will open the passing game for Allen. Not sure what " bracket cover" is. Certainly, Kelce has killed the Bills. I'm not sure the Bills have the personnel to stop him. Also, it seems like the Bills D will have to choose Hill or Kelce to double. Not sure you can do both. Kinda pick your poison. Can the Bills pass rush disrupt Mahomes? Additionally, CEH has been heavily involved in their offense. He is a real threat. Lastly, a big key to the game is the Bills Oline. Allen was running for his life in last year's games.

Fair point. However, I believe the Chiefs had significant injuries as well. The Bills coaching staff should have plenty of tape via the Tampa, Balt, and Charger games to have a solid game plan. It won't be easy in Arrowhead against a semi desperate team that needs to win. Pretty surprised the Chiefs are only 2.5 point favorites. I think the line should be 4.5 to 5 points.

I think you are right on daring the Bills to run. Thus far, the Bills offense has little success vs their defense. However, the Chiefs defense looks worse than last year. A running threat and some success would be great for Allen. Not sure what changes Daboll and the offense makes. I'm assuming they just can't do the same old thing. Imho, the Bills will need to score at least 30 points to win. I'm very encouraged by the Bills recent l defensive play. However, the Chiefs offense should be able to score vs the Bills.

Allen does deserve to be in the discussion. However, I'd take Mahomes over Allen in a heartbeat.

The offense is going to have to win it. Not to say the defense doesn't have a role. The Oline of KC might be even worse than Buffalo. Pressure on Mahomes can slow him down. Look at the Chargers game. Also, the Bills look much improved in stopping the run. Star is showing his value on the Oline. I believe the Chiefs will try to get CEH highly involved in their offense via run and pass. Tyreke is always dangerous. Kelce us unstoppable when it comes to Buffalo. Allen has to be sharp. He cannot be "over hyped" or whatever you call it in the beginning of the game. That has to stop and get fixed. If not, the Cheifs will jump on Buffalo. Buffalo will unlikely recover from such a poor start. Lastly, is it me or does it seem like the special teams has gotten a little better? I don't recall cringing when the Bills are punting. "Bassamatic" has been as reliable as they come.

Sometimes is best to say nothing...

Damn, I always put my Bill's helmet on. I'm ready to pull a "Rudy." Great inspiration. Go Bills! I agree. However, the AFC east is so weak the Bills will win it by default. I'm not complaining...

Great post! 👍

I find it hard to believe all Chiefs fans are disrespecting the Bills as you imply. Typical. Attack the person and not their valid points.

Did you like my response?

Wonder what the opposing team fans would think of Bills fans if they read this board. I suspect they would be saying the same things about Bills fans. Let's not be naive here.

Had wft at +9.5. and lost the bet.

I'm not willing to go that far but you do make fair points. Josh has been mostly average which is still better rhan most QBs. He's better than 2019 based on experience alone. He doesn't turn the ball over nearly as much. His maturity is pretty clear. With that, he dies need to play better. Especially, this Sunday against a weak KC defense. Edmunds is average and I can see why you don't agree with the signing. The Oline is a concern for obvious reasons. Strongly disagree with your Knox take. He has played really well. He looks to be a solid piece on the offense. Love coach McD. He is a great leader and has the respect of the players. They play hard for him and he has the team ready to play. I believe the Pitt game was a one off. Also, I think the coaching staff makes great halftime adjustments. Daboll is very good. It's easy to point the finger at the offensive coordinator. He will always be scape goat's. Imho, the Bills are fortunate to have him. Lastly, the Bills do have a chance. I'm expecting a loss but a win isn't out of the question. KC defense is very beatable. A great game plan and execution is needed.

That's true but I believe it's taken a bit of of contexts. We are talking elite and franchise Qbs. Take a look at Tyrod, Teddy, Fitz, Geoff, Cousins, Cam, Jimmy G, etc...Elite and franchise doesn't apply.

I think you have to look at the Bills D and the opposing offenses. Pitt and Houston are horrible. Miami lost Tua and had to play Brissett on a whim. Wash offense looks decent. I think it's fair to say the Bills D hasn't faced a quality offensive team. Obviously, nothing like the Chiefs. The Chiefs have lost mainly because their defense isn't good. Their offense is still one of the best in the league, they know how to beat the Bills, and they have Kelce who the Bills have no answer. The defense looks very promising but up front they are still very young. I'm not sure they can pressure Mahomes to win the game. I think he will shred the Bills defense. Similarly, Allen should do the same. However, Reid and the Chiefs seem to know how to shut down the Bills offense. In summary, the Bills D will be tested by an offensive juggernaut. I'm not confident the Bills can slow down their offense. Additionally, I believe the Bills D really hasn't been tested because of their opponents.

Fair enough.

They have a super bowl MVP QB, the best tight end in the league, a hall a fame coach, a young dynamic runner, Chris Jones, Houston, Frank Clark, and the honey bagder. Additionally, they have owned the Bills. Do you really think we closed the gap?

No doubt team talent can help or hurt a Qbs development. You have cited valid examples. However, a mediocre QB with a very talented team will never be elite or a franchise QB. I think that's the distinction I'm trying to make. Herbert looks elite but its too early for me to declare it.
