  1. I get so tiiiiiirre hearing Chiefs fans say they’re a totally different team from earlier in the season but will then mention in the same breath how the Bills lost to the Jaguars. How many weeks ago was that? They add Chris Jones and Melvin Ingram this time, but subtract Rashad Fenton. We add Harrison Phillips and Matt Milano, but subtract Tre White. Given the Chiefs inconsistencies all year, most recently against the Broncos, despite what their fans want to believe, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills go into Arrowhead and again win by double digits. I’m going with a score of 30-21 though, in a game that feels like it should’ve been a bigger Bills victory.

    Speed, speed, and more speed on the offensive side of the ball...can never have enough...

    I want more speed on the defensive side of the ball too, particularly in the front 7. Micah Parsons ran an ungodly 4.36 and has the instincts to boot, so he plays that fast. Sadly a player that dynamic won’t be around at #32. But a heat seeking missle at LB, a speed DE, or a big ugly disruptor like Jordan Davis is what I want.

    Looked to me then and still looks like on that play Allen was given 2 sets of plays. He starts out in the shotgun. Reads where the Titans are lined up and sdes they are light in the line with some LBers...look to be playing the pass. Allen reads and adjusts to (is baited into) the run. Ball snapped and he slips, Dawkins is blown up and Allen plunges low to try and gain. May have had a better chance if he tried to stay high and let some of his teammates push and pull him along. Never know 

     

    One thing for sure...that was not on coaching at that point. Allen though he had the right read and Dawk got out muscled. Simple as that.

    He also snuck the ball to the wrong gap - the one the Titans said they were advised he always sneaks to. If you look at the overhead shot of the play, if he sneaks behind the right guard he may barrel in for a TD. The left side was far too bunched up, 2 players within centimeters of each other and the player on the end was arguably their best DL.

  4. Anyone remember that report about Belichick scoffing at the notion that Allen was an MVP candidate last season? To that point in the season, the Bills had played the Pats once and barely won thanks to Cam’s fumble. Allen had never really had great success against Bill, but after that report (I think by Simms), he came out and really carved up the Pats in the 38-9 victory on their turf. I think Belichick’s feelings on Allen as a player and QB have changed drastically since that specific game.

    There have been a few "who would you rather have - Mahomes or Allen?" discussions among the pundits this week.

     

    Each time, the answer is Mahomes. Which I have no issue with, but the reasoning is generally that they have the same skillsets and ability, but Mahomes improvises when a play breaks down and creates something, while Allen generally doesn't.

     

    To repeat:  the reasoning is generally that they have the same skillsets and ability, but Mahomes improvises when a play breaks down and creates something, while Allen generally doesn't.

     

    I don't think people actually watch games.

     

    I wonder, from a physical or skill standpoint, besides deep ball accuracy, what does Mahomes have over Allen? Field vision? I think they’re similar there. Anticipation/throwing receivers open? Slight edge Mahomes? What else?

    Not that it matters at all because the postseason is an entirely new season, but I think its funny how Chiefs fans are just dismissing the L they took in the reg season. They are acting like they have a whole new team.. Mahomes is still making bad decisions/turnovers, The D is still suspect. Thinking they have the greatest D in the league because they beat the Giants, Raiders twice, Steelers twice, and GB without Rodgers. I have to spend my lunch break away from Chiefs Planet ha!

    They’re extremely fortunate they didn’t lose that last regular season game against the Broncos too. I thought they were thoroughly outplayed.

  7. I didn’t look up the stats to confirm my suspicions, but I feel Melvin Ingram has always terrorized the Bills whenever we went against him, back to his days with the Chargers. He got the better of Dawkins in week 1 this year, but Dawkins is a different player now than he was then. Bills OL vs Chiefs DL will determine the outcome of the game.

    When did he ever look better?

    I remember a few reports coming out of camp that Vallejo was ahead of Milano. Also remember thinking “maybe we got the 6th round pick right and the 5th rounder wrong.” Went digging to see if I could find anything about it and came across Joe B’s observation:

    Vallejo, not Milano, taking second-team reps
    - In the 2017 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills used two late draft choices on linebackers to add to their depth. In the fifth round, they selected Matt Milano out Boston College, and then Tanner Vallejo out of Boise State in the sixth round. By their draft status, you would think that Milano would be the superior player -- at least early on. However, on Wednesday, it was Vallejo working with the second-team defense alongside Reggie Ragland in nickel packages. For the final 53-man roster, it could even come down to Milano against Vallejo as the fifth or sixth linebacker to keep, which puts the latter in the lead for the time being. This is an underrated roster battle for the Bills this summer, especially considering both were drafted.

    At the time, Joe B wasn’t the only one reporting Vallejo was ahead.
