the bills d matches up well with this chiefs offense. chiefs are really struggling this year near the goal line. receivers cant separate. bills can definitely clamp down and force FGs.

their defense is actually a real defense, unlike previous chiefs teams. it's an actual top 10 defense with top 5 potential. They get Omenihu back next week.

have you seen his receivers? they never separate. ever. it's kelce or nothing. tonight: TEs: 9 catches, 123 yds RBs: 4 catches, 25 yds WRs: 3 catches, 15 yds

they played like crap early the last few years. last year they had a few very lucky early season wins (vs chargers and raiders), lost to the awful colts. year before that they started 3-4 and then almost lost at home to the giants on MNF.

Might the Bills be interested in Frank Clark? If for no other reason than to keep him off the Chiefs (KC wanted to sign him, but he wanted too much money). Bills pretty loaded with pass rushers but you can never have enough and this could be a bargain for a proven playoff performer.

The Bills having to fly to the west coast two days before Christmas is so unfair. Meanwhile, what do you know, the Chiefs get to sit at home and play on Christmas.

BangedUpBills twitter account pumping out a bit of optimism for potential playoff return for one or both.

do we know if anyone went to the airport to welcome the team back from london?

if the NFL were truly rigged, do you really think they'd leave the cowboys out of the super bowl for THIRTY YEARS?

you should openly cheer for player injuries a little more.

it's bizarre looking but few run harder.

why does everything become about the chiefs? it's always the chiefs. enjoy the game (or try to) worry about the chiefs later.

are there ANY jets fans here?

this story has been fairly quiet so far in the grand scheme of things. hasn't really been a major topic on the national shows best i can tell. when is the next media availability? that's probably the next layer. but to this point, no bills players have said anything right?

so basically chris jones has to perform/stay healthy to recover some of the losses he's accrued via fine and game check. the chiefs get a player who will be extremely motivated, and have control over him if they want it after the season. for him to reach the highest incentives, it means a super bowl appearance, him winning DPOY or a super bowl win. i'm sure the chiefs will be happy to pay whatever at that point. what did chris jones gain in all of this? his agents are morons.

the chiefs treat the regular season like it's preseason. the bills treat a chiefs loss like it's winning the super bowl.

He played a season-low snaps that day recovering from covid. when the chiefs had kelce but no tyreek, they also did fine. when the chiefs had a brand new cast of receivers last year, they did fine. when the chiefs were throwing to marcus kemp and dudes you've never heard of before in the afc championship game, they were fine. this year, without kelce and a new class of receivers, they'll be fine. that's the point. they'll be fine. so wouldn't spend additonal time being cheery (as some are) over a chiefs injury. odds are good that he'll be healthy come playoff time, ready to run circles around more bills defenders. 🥴

the last time kelce missed a chiefs game, they beat a desperate steelers team 36-10 and mahomes went 23-of-30 for 260 yards and three TDs completing passes to such names as Byron Pringle, Derrick Gore, Mecole Hardman, Darrel Williams, Demarcus Robinson and Blake Bell. The show goes on.

Justyn Ross made the Chiefs roster (watch him end up being a star that the Chiefs essentially stole for free). They kept seven receivers. That led to RB La'Mical Perine being a surprise cut. Bills don't really need but he looked special to me.

long term, the bills will be better off if the chiefs sign the massive jones contract imo. next year, kc is going to dump MVS and then will have the cheapest WR group in the league. if justyn ross becomes the real deal - and it seems he might - and if rashee rice is the real deal - and it seems he might be - the kc receiving corps is going to be young/cheap for a very long time. they're about to keep seven WRs and probably will have at least one signed away. getting rid of jones will get them more picks (9 of 10 made the roster last year, 7 of 7 will make the roster this year), tons of cap flexibility etc.

McD says 1.5 quarters for Allen/Starters. Anybody believe him? If not, how long for Allen/starters?

I've purchased Super Bowl tickets twice from OnLocation. They are an official NFL partner. They do everything very well. Not sure how it works with regular season pregame stuff, if it's a flat rate or if it's market dependent, but for the Super Bowl, their prices would fluctuate (mostly down) each day leading up to the Super Bowl until it eventually begins to go back up as supply gets limited. I know some teams offer pre-game tours prior to kickoff (usually between 2-3 hours) and you can walk on the field during warmups. The cost for that is usually close to $500 per person though it used to be much cheaper.

without the benefit of a full offseason leadup, it's always an extreme challenge for any midseason signing to perform immediately in reid's offense historically. moore picked up the offense very slowly per reports. him and toney were primarily used in specific packages, and were not featured.

chiefs beat writer jesse newell of the kc star doesn't believe the chiefs will sign hopkins, per a recent podcast. believes the chiefs did their due diligence earlier in the offseason and moved in a different direction. among the reasons: 1) the chiefs drafted a WR (rashee rice) early. this signaled the chiefs were moving on from hopkins 2) the chiefs believe in toney as a future star and think skyy moore will take another step forward. 3) the chiefs would have to borrow against their future, and veach typically hasn't wanted to do that. 4) the chiefs don't want to stunt the growth of their younger WRs in favor of an expensive vet who is likely on the downside of career. he also noted the chiefs wr's this year are likely better than last year. juju was out or injured for the majority of the year; toney missed time with lingering injuries; skyy moore didn't know the offense well and had a very limited role; mecole harman missed essentially the entire season. and yet, the chiefs offense was still essentially the #1 offense in the league and mahomes was the mvp. the chiefs believe moore takes a step forward and rice can contribute right away, with some potential diamonds in the rough on the roster (the two rosses).

Fair enough, although the notion that KC's defense has been a playoff world beater seems rather misguided. The year KC won its first Super Bowl, the D gave up an instant 24 points to the Texans in the Divisional round and the Chiefs were in a 24-0 hole. The offense bailed them out in a major way. The next year, Tampa went wild on KC's defense in the Super Bowl and put the game out of reach early. KC's D didn't really slow Buffalo in the 42-36 Divisional game two years ago. They went punch-for-punch till the end and won the OT coin toss. The offense won the game (including the 13-seconds theatrics.) A week later, the AFC championship game loss to the Bengals, a major storyline was KC failing to sack Burrow a single time. Last year, the Eagles ran up and down the field (literally) for 400+ yards and 35 pts vs KC's defense. The offense bailed them out in a major way.
