    SNF: Chiefs @ Chargers

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by Dr. K

    Just had a look at the Chiefs remaining schedule.

     

    vs. Rams,

    at Bengals

    at Broncos

    at Texans

    vs. Seahawks

    vs. Broncos

    at Raiders

     

    I don't see any losses for them there except maybe against Cincinnati. 

     

    The situation sucks, but that's just the way it is. The Bills probably have to win out just to have a chance at home field, and the Chiefs will have to lose in an upset. 

    Allen playing!

    If qbs didn’t play with injuries that are as minor as Josh’s probably is I don’t think they’d ever play 

     

    I think some nfl reporters took that quote from the bills ‘we fear he has a sprained ucl’ after the jets game and ran with it.  There’s no actual evidence that the injury is remotely serious 

    I hope you are right. The Bills do seem to play it conservatively with injured players, so that suggests that Allen is not seriously hurt.

    Start Keenum. Play Allen only if you have to. 

    I don’t say this because I think it’s a good idea. If Allen is injured (and I think he is) he should be inactive. I don’t really understand what they are doing.

    Do you see the Josh Allen era Bills as having a "window"?

    Just curious what others think - because I see that all the time on opposing fans message boards, and I don't relate to it.

     

    I think the window will be WIDE open as long as JA is QB, and Beane is GM.  I don't need any more proof from either. JA is elite, and Beane seems like a wizard w/ the cap, who knows how to build an A1 team for today, and also keep an eye on building a model for success that's sustainable.  We'll lose players like all great teams do, but he is a very good drafter, finds gems in FA, and has a real vision for keeping this team in contention.

     

    I think we'll be knocking on the door for a title every year for at least a decade.  I tend to lean homer, but I also think this is objective based on how good these guys are at their jobs.

     

    What say you?

     

    It certainly seems that as long as Josh stays healthy the Bills will have a good shot. But I think of the career of Dan Marino, who made (and lost) the Super Bowl very early in his career. Given that and the history of success of the Dolphins under Don Shula, everybody expected Marino to be in the Super Bowl regularly and to win a couple of Lombardi trophies. Never happened.

     

    I think the Bills have every opportunity to avoid that fate, but you never know.

    Bills trade for Nyheim Hines

    in The Stadium Wall

    I really don't see this trade as improving the running game. He'll be no help whatsoever with the short yardage difficulties. Singletary is much better than he is, and we haven't seen enough of Cook to know whether he could do what Hines does. 

     

    I'm with those who think Moss is going to show much better than Hines for the rest of their careers. As others have said, this leaves the Bills with zero power running option (not that Moss was tearing it up in that area).

    Bills trade for Nyheim Hines

    I hope this satisfies those fans who want the Bills to acquire somebody just to acquire somebody. I'm sick of that kvetching and I was not convinced they needed to do this. 

     

    Or if they did need to, I was more worried about safety and backup o-line than running back, frankly. I don't see how this is going to help the Bills with their biggest problem in running, short yardage situations, at which they have been terrible. 

     

    But certainly Beane knows more about what they need and who fills the bill than I do. 

    Allen’s QBR last night was 83.6

    Going back to last year he’s had some bad games at home against lesser opponents.  Falcons last year 3 picks, took him out of the MVP race and even the pro bowl.  Good news he usually plays better when it matters the most. 1000 yards 10-0 TD ratio, 125+ rating last 3 games at KC.  He’s the anti-Kirk cousins. 

    I remember that Falcons game, and yes, he looked really bad, inexplicably, in that game. Especially since it came late in the season right after they had beaten the Pats in New England and he was playing his best ball.  

     

    I think even a freak like Allen will have those bad stretches. I expect he will get it out of his system against the Jets.

    So going back and watching highlights, I couldn't believe how the Dolphins seemed to have one play - the deep slant or in route - that they ran repeatedly. To his credit, Tua is very good at hitting them. But it was so predictable after a while and I think Pittsburgh was finally able to take it away. Tua simply can't make quick reads past that. 

    Exactly. Take those routes away and force Tua to throw outside the numbers, and he will collapse like a cheap tent.
