CorkScrewHill Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Only the first 20 minutes are related to KC vs Buffalo Feel Buffalo is the biggest threat to KC. Think the Bills coaching in particular is strong though out-coached in the two games last year. Main gap between the two organizations from their perspective is Mahommes vs Allen though the love Allen and think his continued growth could further level the playing field. If they weren't in the AFC they would love to root for the Bills .. they love the team. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jletha Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I would disagree that the largest gap is at QB. Allen was very close to Mahomes statistically last year and while I think Mahomes is better there are other positions with larger gaps. Particularly at TE. I think Kelce allows them to exploit defensive matchups that we cant because of his versatility. Beyond that their defensive line was much better than ours. Im not sure if you swap Mahomes and Allen last season the result of the AFC Champ would be different. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Honestly, I thought the biggest gap last season between the Bills and Chiefs had little to do with the players and more with the coaching. Frasier and McDermott had pretty much the exact opposite game plan at stopping the Chiefs than I would have gone in with. I was fully expecting bracket coverage on Kelce and Hill forcing the Chiefs to find someone else to beat them but instead they tried playing their traditional zone man scheme that they run a lot of the time and that is not the way you are going to beat that team. It won't work because Mahomes is too goof off script and those guys will eventually find holes in the coverage and beat you for big plays. Happened the entire game and they never adjusted. I'm not saying what I was wanting to do would have worked, but it should have been tried since after the first couple of possessions it was obvious their scheme was not going to work. Through this poor defensive scheme, on top of a very lackluster offensive scheme that looked nothing like the offensive approach the team had used for most of the season, I truly believe that coaching was the biggest difference, not the players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passing game stalled and we had no run game or screen game to counter with. Mahomes found Kelce at will in both games that kept so many drives alive. 4 TDs in the two meetings last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The difference is they have the best TE and fastest WR in the league. And our Defense struggled somewhat last year. Mahomes is better than Allen, but not by much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 We lost the games at the line of scrimmage, both offensively and defensively. We could not run not adequately protect J Allen, he was under assault, their D Line totally outclassed our O Line. And our D Line was not match for their O Line.

Not Allen vs. Mahomes. Summarizing: better TE play, better "speed/burner" WR play, better run blocking, better DL pressure Observations from which I derive that: 1) TE Travis Kelce vs Buffalo zone D. Mahomes knew just how to manipulate the Bills zone D to find gaps, and Kelce knew how to fill those gaps and make catches. 2) "Cheetah" Hill vs Bills CB coverage 3) Chiefs running game and dink-n-dunk passing game - they could run it when they needed to - this was pretty much the story of in-season win 4) Bills inability to pressure the QB vs the 2020 standard KC OL (it was decimated during the SB with the LT out and 3 guys playing out of position) 5) Chiefs ability to stifle 3 injured WR with "sticky" press-man coverage 6) Chiefs ability to pressure the QB and limit the time the wideouts had to beat it 7) Bills lack of strong TE play and pass-catching RB play to force the Chiefs out of Dime 4 minutes ago, Mark Vader said: So what changed during the Super Bowl? 1) the Chiefs were playing without their LT, and did so by having 3 OLmen playing different positions. The Bucs arguably have a better pass rushing/pressuring DL than the Bills and combining that with KC having to play the JV on OL meant Mahomes was playing "run, Rabbit, run!" 2) for whatever reason, the referees were calling DPI and DH on the Chiefs DB.

We saw what Mahomes can look like when he doesn't have great protection, look at the Super Bowl vs TB. Our O-line got blown up on the interior all day. Chris Jones got penetration and Frank Clark won off the edge. Our rb's could barely even get out of the backfield. On defense, Hill and Kelce were uncoverable and burned us consistently. Mahomes wasn't 100% healthy, but our defensive line still rarely pressured him. While I like the idea of continuity, I really think we need to get at least one dominant interior offensive lineman in order to take our offense to the next level. The Chiefs got better by signing Thuney, Orlando Brown, Kyle Long, and drafting Creed Humphrey, while the Bills drafted a couple developmental tackles that probably won't see the field for a couple years. We have about 10 million in cap space and hopefully there is a top guard released over the summer. Edited June 25, 2021 by Allen2Diggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Riddle Me This. Up until 2017, that was NOT the perception of Reid, and even in 2017 and to some extent 2018, Reid was regarded as a steady regular-season coach who was not "Good Enough" to win the Big Game. I believe it was Tony Dungy who said flat out in 2017 "the Kansas City Chiefs may win the Superbowl, but it won't be with Andy Reid at Head Coach" [Well Hey Y'all Watch This] https://sportsnaut.com/kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-andy-reid/ Quote Collosal collapses: Reid can’t get the job done. Patriots aside, Reid has never been able to win the last game of the season. After nearly two decades of serving as a head coach in the NFL, and six trips to conference title games, he’s never been able to secure a ring. Reid enjoyed the luxury of Donovan McNabb in much of his time with the Eagles and still failed to bring home a Lombardi trophy. Ultimately, its what got Reid fired in Philly. Not only has Reid been bad in the playoffs, but his teams have been the victims of historic collapses. Only four teams have ever led by 18 or more points at halftime of a postseason game and lost in the NFL. Two of those teams are Reid’s Chiefs. Heartbreak city: Reid’s luck has gotten worse since arriving in K.C. Reid was renowned for playoff blunders when he got to Kansas City, bringing with him a 1-4 record in NFC Championship games. Kansas City was used to ugly playoff losses before he ever arrived. It’s gotten worse for both parties. With Reid at the helm in 2014, the Chiefs blew a 38-10 third-quarter lead over the Indianapolis Colts. In 2018, with Alex Smith under center, the Chiefs blew a 21-4 third-quarter lead to the Tennessee Titans, who fired their head coach anyway a week later. For the Chiefs, this came a season after losing to Pittsburgh in the playoffs despite allowing zero touchdowns. Either Reid suddenly acquired magical wizard properties, or coaches, like players, have the ability to improve themselves.

Albany,n.y. Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The biggest change between the AFC championhip game & the Super Bowl was home field advantage. KC had it against the Bills, Tampa had it against KC. When Tampa won the NFC before the Bills/KC game I was pretty down thinking that Tampa would be unbeatable as the only team with home field in the history of the Super Bowl. If the Bills make it this season, the team I don't want to face is the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D couldnt handle the speed so we were stuck in zone where kelsay can dominate. i think our cbs just dont have speed to play man and that was not addressed so the coaches are going for D line to make the ball come out/ pressure to negate it. hopefully our run blocking improved. wait and see.

Easy for a 2021 Chiefs fan to like the Bills.........they've owned them almost annually on the field since Andy Reid was hired......the only exception was the 2017 win in KC........and McDermott literally traded them their franchise savior. The early 90's Chiefs fan wouldn't have liked the Bills AT ALL.........the Bills were blocking them and beating them in the playoffs...........and the treatment Chiefs fans got at that AFCCG game in Buffalo was HARSH. They rolled up in buses expecting a civil contest......I remember seeing the female fans with their sewing kits and such😂.........and they walked into a buzzsaw of drunken, entitled Bills fans. There was much complaining from the KC area about the welcome they got from Bills fans at that game. The tables have turned..........Bills fans were whining about the arrogance of KC fans and players after last year's season ending debacle.

Don Otreply Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 As always…, The game is won and lost in the trenches. For the Bills it was this, on top of our entire starting wide receiver Corp being injured for the AFCCG. Better O line play = better run and pass games, (see above for injured receivers) Better D line play = less time for opponents QB to run their offenses pass and run games. It’s the trenches my friends, if they fail it all fails, the league’s history is replete with examples of this right up to this past seasons SB. Go Bills!!!

FilthyBeast Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 To me the biggest difference between the Bills and Chiefs isn't so much between Allen/Mahomes, it's that the Chiefs have a star player on the defensive line that can make plays in Chris Jones, similar to what the entire Bucs dline did to Mahomes in the SB last year. This is why it's imperative that a guy like Ed Oliver steps up and starts to look like a top 10 pick or we get stupid lucky with one of our DE draft picks this year because guys like Addison, Hughes, etc aren't the answer in terms of stopping Mahomes and the Chiefs. Also on a sidenote, I know many fans are aware of this but McDermott was fired by Andy Reid in Philly for playing the same style of conservative, bend but don't break defense he and Frazier run in Buffalo. And in the two games against the Chiefs last year we never really took any chances and just let the Chiefs do whatever they wanted especially in the AFCC game. So it's really a mental thing for McDermott and he's going to need a totally different approach this year to have any real chance of getting past the Chiefs and taking the next step to the SB.
