Casey D Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Given that New England has become the Super Bowl favorite after its demolition of Denver, the division title for the Bills now seems unlikely. If the Bills are to stay alive in the WC chase, given the 3 losses they already have in conference and the gaudy records of AFC teams, the game against KC is pretty much a must win to keep realistic playoff chances alive. Can they win as modest dogs once again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PO'14 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Dink and Dunk Master Alex Smith is a winning percentage machine.

All_Pro_Bills Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The underdog role suits the Bills well. KC's won 3 in a row, edged the Chargers by a FG, pummelled the Rams and beat the Jets yesterday. The Chiefs don't turn the ball over much. To win the Bills need to do the same. Turnovers equal and with home field and a weeks rest, I see the Bills taking this one by 10 points.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a guess by the books as to where to entice bidders. Â I say the Bills win going away. Alex Smith will be destroyed. At least 6 sacks. Â The Chiefs D has been stuffing its collective bra on the likes of Austin Davis and Vick-Simms the past 2 weeks. They will be pantsed by the now lethal combo of Keanu Orton and Samuel L. Watkins.

Casey D Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I shouldn't be surprised that we are... but Jesus man... no respect. Yeah, frankly I thought it would be more. After losing their first two and continuing a downtrend after the first half of last year, KC has been a beast over its last 6 games, going 5-1 while demolishing the Dolphins in Miami, destroying NE on Monday night at home, and a tight win over a then hot SD team on the road. If the Bills handle KC-- even if at home-- I think the respect will go up. This is the kind of game the Bills must win if they are to be a serious playoff contender-- beating a roughly equal non-Division AFC team at home when it matters.

hondo in seattle Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If the BIlls win, everyone will start taking us seriously as playoff contenders (including me). Â While KC isn't an AFCE team, they're fighting for a wild card slot just like we are. But is seems many of the NFL gurus rate KC ahead of the Bills. Beating them causes a reassessment. Â A must win? No exactly. But a big win? Absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The Chiefs are almost as inconsistent as the Jets. The Jets looked better playing in Foxboro the week before they played the Bills, than the Broncos did last night. Then the Jets went out and were a trash fire against the Bills, in NJ. Then they played pretty well yesterday. It must be an oddsmaker's nightmare to set the line for Jets games. Â The Chiefs are also up and down. They destroyed the Pats then found it hard to get out of their own way. Last year they were a pick six on a stupid play, and a fumble recovery on a stupid play, away from losing to the hapless Bills while on their way to a great season record. Who knows what team shows up on Sunday. Â The Bills OTOH are pretty consistent. They were about the same quality the first four games, trending gradually downward to the Texans game. Since Orton took over, they've been at the same B+ level every game, which has been good enough for three wins but not to beat the Pats. If they keep getting B+ play they'll finish 9-7, unless they chance into playing a better team when that other team has a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Dink and Dunk Master Alex Smith is a winning percentage machine.  Lets hope the Bills Defense can put pressure on him while the CB's know that the passes will come out fast and short  This is my greatest fear about this game. Alex Smith and that offense will grind you to death and win time of possession. He's not going to drop back and sit there waiting for long pass routes b/c that offense relies on the short passing game which negates one of our greatest strengths - the pass rush.  If I'm the Bills coaching staff I force Alex Smith to beat us and try to completely eliminate their run game - a tough task for sure - because if we can't stop their run game Alex Smith's dinks and dunks will be that much more effective and then it's a snowball effect with their grinding offense. Make Alex Smith try and consistently complete 3rd and longs as opposed to 3rd and shorts.  If you look at the games the Chiefs have lost this season:  vs Titans - Smith had 35 attempts vs Broncos - Smith had 42 attempts vs SF - Smith had 30 attempts  Wins: vs Fins - Smith had 25 attempts vs Pats - Smith had 26 attempts vs SD - Smith had 28 attempts vs Rams - Smith had 29 attempts vs NJY - Smith had 31 attempts  Granted, this is only one side of an entire picture, but you can see how you want Smith throwing the ball more to have a better chance of beating them.

bonechiller Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't consider this a must win, but I think we need to win 3 out of the next 4 to have a shot.
