I figured coming in that this game was gonna be heavy on the yellow laundry. Bills D came in to make a statement, was playing things very physical and dared the Chiefs and the refs to counter. Refs threw lots of flags but the Bills were willing to eat them if it meant pushing the Chiefs around and slowing them down.

Exactly, 5-10 years from now no one except stat nerds and television taking heads will bring up that Josh might have won MVP. A Superb Owl win will be remembered forever.

The Poyer/Hyde combination FA signings will probably go down as one of the single best decisions of the McBeane era. Those two have been just absolutely rock solid since they’ve come here.

Who here thought on the first play from scrimmage against the Chiefs that we’d come out in the I formation? Definitely not the Chiefs. Love that we’re seeing the Bills become that super frustrating (for opposing teams) chameleon type offense where they go out and exploit what you defend poorly. It’s great too that our personnel is so strong that for weaker teams we can run a pretty vanilla scheme and still dominate, thereby not giving anything away for the stronger opponents.

Last 2 weeks Spencer Brown has been in the lineup and I don’t think it’s a coincidence. We’ve also played some kinda meh defensive lines as well.

For some reason the Titans defensive scheme (like the Steelers) has given Josh Allen and the offense fits the last 2 years. Let's see if this year we're finally mature enough that we can install a gameplan and scheme to attack what they defend poorly instead of trying to beat them the way we normally play (similar to what we did to the Chiefs). Their OL also seems weak in pass pro and prone to give up sacks/pressure. I think the Bills are built well enough now on the DL that we can harass Tanny into some of his signature MIA ints.

It's funny, the Bills deployed a VERY similar scheme last year but they didn't have the DL talent and rotation to create pressure with 4, contain Mahomes and defend the run to counter. Bills dared them to run and they answered by daring the Bills to stop it, they couldn't. This time the Bills proved that running the ball against our defense, even in a 2 high safety look, was a mistake. What a difference a couple of extra playmakers and a healthier defense makes. Really great read, thanks for sharing this!

I wonder how many people are gonna look at that completion % stat and claim Allen is regressing. I also wonder if there’s a correlation between lower completion % and teams that have a stronger rushing attack. Seems like the Bills this year have sacrificed some production on shorter passes that used to go to Beasley/Diggs and replaced it with more runs between our 3 way rushing attack of Moss/Singletary/Allen. I like our chances against Ten. Their defense is iffy at best and they’re not generating any pressure up front.

Feels like the Bills installed a custom offense/set of plays to exploit what the Chiefs defended poorly. They ran way more two TE sets, multiple guys in the backfield. More power based running, Lamar/Ravens style triple option stuff. Running pass plays out of tighter formations and causing major issues with busted coverage. This is not how the Bills want to beat you, but it did put up points effectively. The fact that the Bills could do this, even remotely competently, should terrify other teams. This team is starting to do that really frustrating chameleon stuff old NE teams used to do where you have no idea what the hell they’re gonna do on offense. The amount of stuff the Bills put on tape today should be keeping DC’s up at night.

Like Harbaugh (former ST coach) talking to Blankenship after the game. Colts defense got decimated this game. Their secondary was basically practice squad players by the end of it.

Are we in the right thread? 😂

Jackson really wants to throw it to 89 when under pressure. It’s who he was aiming at when Taron picked him off.

It must be getting coached, can’t imagine a rookie doing something consistently in a game that the staff doesn’t want him doing.

We have the number one offense and defense in the NFL atm and are out scoring teams with Madden-like numbers. I think we’re good.

I feel like there’s a way to defend Roman’s scheme and if you can do that to a decent degree you make them look very mortal. Lamar is an incredible athlete but he can only do so much.

Prolly the Jets, who would have promptly ruined him by making him play DT, as is tradition.

Ravens defense looks soft AF so far.

Seriously one of my favorite players. Doesn’t do much talking, just gets on with it. Hilariously fast on his feet for a DT.

100% had he not opted out and had similar production the year before the draft, that’s a top 10, maybe top 5 pick in the draft.

I usually don’t mind CC too much as a talking head but the endless ball washing for KC this game was just grating. Like ffs give the Bills their due, it’s not KC playing bad the Bills just kicked their ass and it’s okay to say that.

what 50 does is mind boggling to me. He’s effectively a good DE who can also disengage off his block and play spy on the QB and keep contain. He’s basically pulling double duty out there. Last night the Chiefs had to assign Bolton to the spy role, which robs you of an LB to play in coverage. The fact that we can do that with Rousseau and still have him play is role on DE is nuts.

I think it’s fine. This offense has a ton of mouths to feed and we’re way more balanced run/pass this year. Those slot throws that Beasley used to catch last year are now runs by Moss and Singletary. I feel fully confident in my take that he’ll turn into a bit of a Danny Amendola this year, quiet in the regular season but Mr Clutch in the playoffs.

Bills defense has been making every team this year so far earn every single yard the hard way. Your team might come away with points but you’re gonna feel it, and you’re not going to like it.

I think KC is fully aware of how ***** their defense is and it’s forcing Mahomes and the offense to feel like they need to score every drive.

D has just been absolutely savage all season. Tonight they looked like they were out for blood.
