njbuff Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If the Chiefs are paper tigers, then the Bills are paper clips until proven otherwise. The Bills are a really good team that got manhandled by the Chiefs last year. The Bills still have a lot to prove, but I think they are fully capable of taking the next step and slaying the KC dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper tiger: "one that is outwardly powerful or dangerous but inwardly weak or ineffectual." That certainly seems to describe the Chiefs of the first three games of the season. They have time to turn it around and they might. Let's see if they can beat the crap out of the Eagles.

I'd say it's a terrible description for their first 3 games as their losses have been mostly self-inflicted so far. Now, the Broncos 3-0 after beating poor teams like the Jets, Jags, and Giants? That's the definition of a "paper tiger," not a team that went to back-to-back Superbowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it will depend on who is the OC that replaces Roman and whether their style is to fit their scheme around players strengths or will the new OC be one that wants his scheme to be above anything else. Of course depends on how much the HC leaves offensive playcalling in OCs hands. If a new OC is more pass oriented and isn't strong in run game planning then might be a bad fit with LJ. It would come down to how invested the HC as well as GM are in LJ being the franchise QB. If they are all in the next OC will have to cater to LJ's strength moreso than if they have some doubts on LJ's style being the longterm answer for them. Gotta remember there a reason even the best RBs go downhill at a quicker rate than probably any other position on a team so a RQB is likely to suffer the same rate of decline in those running abilities as the years go on. So if LJ is deemed by a new OC to only have 2 or 3 years of being able to depend on his running skills will he be more inclined to say hey if you want to lead this team you have to hit this level in passing. In fact I'm of the opinion that Roman is actually stifling LJs growth as a passing qb. We have all see LJ make good passes so he's capable. I just think they've never had the patience to let LJ make the mistakes in order to learn from them. Then again in practice maybe LJ doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes.

Peter King is still more acceptable than the 49 year old Yahoo Fantasy manboys like Pianowski or whoever that are just more boring versions of Peter King. I personally hope he shakes and talks about whatever dumb coffee he prefers until he feels he's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Chiefs are challenged on defense. The Bills with score enough, but Mahomes is dangerous as a wounded animal. They will lean on his improvisational skills with Hill/Kelce, who the Bills defense has yet to prove they can cover. Poyer will be crucial. If we beat them in KC, it will send a strong message to the whole AFC who the top dog is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 KC is still a beast. They have tremendous top line elite talent.

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I think this is the last hurdle Mcd and the team need to get over in the AFC. Other teams are stepping up to Kc and playing them close to the vest and in two instances beat them. No reason we shouldn’t be in the mix. It’s going to take a huge effort from all three phases and most importantly I really think Josh needs to be dialed in and great this week.

Nitro Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 KC is very good and play hard enough to beat their opponents. Bills will have to play mistake free ball against them. No FGs, only TDs. Defense will have its hands full with Mahomes and the KC attack. Great test for the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a decent job of that for the most part in week 6 last year, less so in the playoff game. To have a chance to win next week our O has to play better than both matchups next year or else it won't matter what the defense does. You are not keeping the Chiefs below 25. The most we scored in two meetings last year was 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true, but I think KC’s concern should be other teams figuring out how to play that perfect game. Everything has a formula in this world, and although the Chiefs are a strong team, the book on how to beat them has been written. You still need the right personnel and good coaching to do so, we certainly have all of that. Edited October 13, 2021 by SirAndrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Can't remember who said it, maybe someone on NFLN...but the idea is the Chiefs (or Cheaps as referenced by the late, great RL) just had other teams catch up to them. Allen's emergence in Buffalo and their team building, the Chargers with Herbert and similar team improvement, Baltimore with Lamar Jackson et al., even Tennessee. Kansas City is still a solid team, but they've plateaued, and as a graphic I saw on Twitter today noted, Josh has matched Mahomes over their last 21 starts. Both are 17-4, both have passer ratings above 106.0, are completing about 2/3rds of their passes and have practically the same TD-INT ratio. The AFC has changed considerably with the rise of those QBs, demise of Roethlisberger and Brady's departure to the NFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I predict the Chiefs will be in the playoff mix still by the end of the season.
