I’m pretty sure it’s been posted a ton in this thread , but stay away from chiefsplanet.....over there the Chiefs are the NFL and the other 31 teams are around just to be the Chiefs punching bag sheesh

 

”if Mahommes plays we win, if Henne plays it’s a coin flip”

 

Cocky bunch of guys over there for winning one Super Bowl......you’d think they’ve won the last 4 or something.

We’ve played 2 good running teams back to back and done a good job against the run in both games. Outside of 2 runs in the Colts game we held them to 3 yards a carry. We held Baltimore to 3 points. I think we give the Chiefs all they can handle and get out of Arrowhead with the W.

Partly true. I think we dominated the Ravens run game because there was no viable pass threat due to the weather and Lamar. The Chiefs are completely different and require a vastly differ game plan. Not sure what that is? Additionally, the Colts dominated us on both sides of the ball. They had a duel run pass attack and threat. We were very fortunate to win. However, good teams find ways to win. I'm enjoying the ride hoping for the best and expecting the Bills might fall a little short. This KC team has dynasty written all over it. Go Bills!

Chiefs scored 19 points in the first half and Mahommes had 253 passing yards. If Mahommes finishes the game they score 40 points.

I feel the same way. This game would not have been close with Mahomes aboard. He is virtually unstoppable.

The Browns didn’t too that bad, they were mostly able to hold the Chiefs to FGs and keep them within striking distance. The main problem for the Browns was that they got away from their running game and didn’t get back to it until the second half. The defense was not the problem for the Browns today, and Buffalo would do well to have a similar plan.

 

Browns did great.  Turned out to be a very winnable game for them despite their mistakes.   Early drops by Chubb was rough and the Higgins play turned out to be huge.   Should have been 16-6 going into half time at a minimum if that helmet to helmet contact was called.

Man, the weather in Kansas City.  The following days are either mostly or partly sunny. Then when it's Sunday it's sleet, rainy, snowy and lousy weather with 7mph wind. I hope by gametime it clears up.

Lol......I get it now.....went over my head duh.

 

streetkings is actually the name of my hip hop group back in my late teens.......7 man group......we wanted to be the next Wu-Tang clan, but egos kicked in and we split but I kept the name.

 

We actually did a song that featured Styles P., Kool-G Rap and Tragedy.

Missouri is like WNY in that there is absolutely no way you can predict the weather 7 days out.

[WideNine]

I see some comments from Chiefs' fans about how their defense handled Allen earlier this year.

 

A lot of us have speculated that up to the back-to-back Titans then Chiefs games we lost Allen faced primarily cover-0 or cover-1 blitz defenses. It was "the book" on Allen - he could not hit his receivers in man coverage and you could pressure him into mistakes. Allen was tearing those up till the Titans came out with an unfamiliar split safety quarters zone defense and KC copied that...Allen had to learn and adjust.

 

Not sure if posted elsewhere, but Allen talks about that at the 4:44 mark with Chris Simms.

1 vs 2 and you know Mahomes is playing. Dude was tweeting after the game. Expect him to be doing non football work their first day of practice on Wednesday and to be cleared by Friday. We want to be the best let’s go beat them in their house. I don’t fear them. They don’t scare me. They should be scared of us. We won’t wilt under pressure. 
 

 PS:  Sammy Watkins has officially spent more games in street clothes then he has with either KC or the Bills...

McD  Frazier and the D seem so locked in and playing at a very high level.

And without Milano and playing overall not good, we were in the game 13-10 at halftime.   

 

They come out at halftime, run a 13 play 87 yard drive in 8 minutes bc run D couldn't stop a nose bleed.  That pretty much demoralized us yet we still got to 23-17.....still couldn't stop their ground game.  

 

By no means will this be easy.  But I like our chances. 

 

Miami picked off Mahomes 3 times.  Make them throw 40 times against our Secondary.  I like that group's chances vs any air attack even Mahomes.  And I think our front can get to him. 

 

But we absolutely cannot let them run on us.  At all.  Their run game has stunk most of the season and CEH has a high ankle sprain.  Who knows how ready he'll be.  

 

If we score 30, we will win.  If you take out the Hail Murray play we allowed 30 points only 3 times this year, vs Seattle the Rams and Tennessee when everyone was hurt.  

 

30 points.  Dial it up Daboll.

Being scared has nothing to do with it. It's about talent and execution mixed in with a little luck. Imho, both of those teams are better than us. Also, they have proven track records which brought home super rings and the Lombardi Trophy. Our chances seem slim but nevertheless there is hope. Stranger and bigger upsets have happened. Go Bills!

It's really hard to predict how many points it will take. Too many unknown variables. Imho, the key to us winning is not giving up the big plays and playing solid red zone defense. Which happens to be one of our strengths. The Chiefs will score and make some big plays. However, we need to force them to field goals not tds. I'm really not overly focused on stopping their run game. The Chiefs can and will attack you on all levels. Their offense is just that dynamic and talented.

 

Secondly, is protecting Allen. Last game the Chiefs harassed Allen all game. I'd say it was one of his worse games of the season. Along that line, the Bills have to be semi successful running. This will keep the Chiefs from teeing off on Allen. 

 

Thirdly, I think the turnover battle will be key. If we turnover over the ball we have little chance of winning.

 

Fourth, win the 3rd down battle. Seems like we have been giving up some big 3rd and long plays. Nothing deflates a team more than this. Obviously, executing 3rd downs bold well to winning.

 

Lastly, it's about how the Bills play and attack the game plan. We can't play conservative or scared. Play smart but not passive. Game 6 vs the Chiefs was playing scared. Go down or win playing to win! 

 

Just my 2 cents.

I poked around the Chiefs message board. I don't post, I just read. Wow. They are pretty toxic. Surprisingly so.

 

I'm really hoping Mahomes is back and any other player they have who is hurt. And then I hope the Bills crush them. Because those fans deserve the humiliation.

 

But realistically, the Chiefs should be favored if Mahomes is back. But to think that the Bills have no shot to win is just foolish.

[TBBills]

I have a feeling he will be cleared to play even if he isn't finished with his concussion protocol.

That place is like 10% football talk, 40% saying the chiefs are unbeatable, and 50% personal insults.

I think thats the key as well. I personally would not want to blitz Mahomes; instead drop as many back into coverage as possible. Earlier in the year i heard a stat Mahomes had vs the blitz and it was silly. Make the chiefs earn it by having long drives. 

 

I think you have to blitz since he’s injured just so he keeps getting hit. He’s got foot and head problems that need to  be exploited. 
 

I’m not saying be dirty about it, but make him as uncomfortable as possible since he probably won’t be scrambling (he shouldn’t be Atleast). Maybe he will make more mistakes 

[Chandler#81]

I find myself just staring at this schedule and the cold, hard facts it displays.😲

For all the team records and new League standards we’ve set -and they are bountiful!, having now tied the most wins at 15 is the most remarkable for me. The fantastic ‘64 team was 13-2 including the title game. Twice during the Levy era, we were 15-4 including playoff games & SBs. With 2 more games possible, this impressive mark of excellence will fall with just 1 more win.

 

LOOK AT ALL THE GREEN!!

I was thinking about that too.

 

17-3 sounds pretty good to me.

 

And that 17 would then include wins over Mahomes (maybe) and Rodgers or Brady. I suppose I am getting ahead of myself, but what else am I meant to do this week?

It's hard to say. They're so busy telling people to die of AIDS, go ***** themselves, die in a fire, and down-voting any Bills fan comment (even if it's mature and valid and non-troll-ish), that it's hard to glean any actual football opinions. From what I could tell, they think the Bills pose no real threat whatsoever, and that Bills fans are delusional for believing that the Bills defense was responsible for the poor Ravens performance.

Truly, it's a vile cesspool of ignorance, vulgarity and immaturity. It's easily the worst set of fans I've seen all year, visiting every opponent's message board at least once leading up to the game. I'm not trying to clutch pearls here. I'm for good smack talk as much as the next sports fan. What they've got going on over there? Pretty much the worst of the internet. 

I would've assumed Chiefs fans had a little more class and intelligence. That forum indicates otherwise.

Girl at my job is married to a chefs fan. Him and his chefs fan friend are complete trash. They are both abusive to their wives and children, just scumbags in every way. Police are constantly at their house or our job because of them.
 

They’re my most hated team mostly because their fans are complete trash

It is a vile place. I've tried reading to see what the opinions on the game are but it's a waste of time. Literally every football related questions is answered with "we'll kick their ***** asses because we have Mahomes".

 

I also noticed a hell of a lot of the hardcore fans there joined in 2020

The Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champions, and finished with the best record in the NFL.  

If I was a gambling man, it would be very difficult for me to put money on any other team to win it all.

 

At the same time, I don't understand the narrative that Kansas City is some unstoppable dynasty.  They haven't beaten a team by double-digits since November 1.  Over the last 2+ months, they have scraped out every game by the skin of their teeth.  They seem to go long stretches where that explosive offense looks flat and uninspired.  Don't get me wrong.  Patrick Mahomes looks like a player who could win multiple rings during his career.  But so did Aaron Rodgers, who is still chasing #2 at 37 years old.  Russell Wilson will be in his 10th year next season, and still hasn't gotten his second.  

 

If the Bills put together a complete game on Sunday, they can certainly walk away with the victory.

 

 

[Magox]

So all the NFL talk is not about the Bills winning but of the Raven's shortcomings.  Frustrating for fans but most likely added fuel for the Bills players.  They thrive off of this.

[Southern_Bills]

All I know is they beat the browns by 5 we beat the ravens by 14 in a horrible wind storm. 

 

The divide isn't what people want you to believe. No guarantee CEH or Mahomes plays but even if they do we have a legit chance. It's more of a game we fit anyways, colts/ravens actually had the ideal team structure to beat us.

[Big Turk]

Something to note...Allen is a better road QB...excited for this game, I think he balls out. Might be the one game where that isn't enough but I think it will be a great matchup.
