LOL 13-4 with that defense. Not to mention it's more apparent KC's offense is starting to get figured out. They're gonna face some good defenses again, and at least decent offenses.

I thought the Oliver was also called by rule, but I didn’t feel they were egregious.

Unreal athletic play.

I disagree. The only part of the rule that could apply is below knee. But Ed was blocked into the QB so it's not a penalty.

 

I need to see it again but IIRC Ed was also held on the play. But I could be wrong it's way past my bedtime.

I mean, seriously, that is huge. No blitzing, yet plenty of pressure. That’s a recipe for success, especially against an offense like this. Kudos to this defensive line. And all of this without Milano…

The Afterglow:

 

1.  OH...MY... GOD.... does this feel so damn good..  DAMN GOOD.

2. Nicky Wrong..  How's your night going?  See you tomorrow on the air.

3. Game ball goes to the entire Defense.  They harassed Mahommes all night.  

4. D-KNOX D-KNOX D-KNOX

5. That was an absolute dismantling of the Chiefs on SNF

6. The game plan for Kelce and Hill was BRILLIANT

7.  Josh Allen..  That throw to Sanders was jaw dropping.

8.  The Eddie Oliver roughing the passer penalty on the 4th down incompletion could have been a game changing play. 

9.  Allens stats are crazy

10.  Ladies and Gentlemen, there has been a changing of the guard in the AFC.

11.  Damn you Texans, you had the Patriots..  You had them

Question: did Tampa bay give a blueprint to the league how to stop the chiefs? 

 

Yes and they don't seem to know how to stop it.

Great win

 

once the DL was able to contain Mahomes we controlled the game. He was never comfortable when he couldn't scape the pocket. 

There was a play, think it was a failed 4th down try where Poyer tipped it? Addison I think had a path to mahomes and instead just maintained his leverage to not let him escape to the side. Some with other end (Hughes?) 

 

End result, Mahomes had 8 seconds in the pocket. Yet, Buffalo’s zone shell held, mahomes tried to force it, turnover on downs.

 

That is some kind of defensive scheming.

[TBBills]

@Gene1973is so angry the Bills lost. Makes this night even better!

 

Sorry Gene you and Nick WRONG are going to have to suck it up.

But, now and then, truth-speaking things
Shamed the angels' veiling wings;

And a blush tinged the upper sky,
And the gods shook, they knew not why.

McD expecting fans at the airport. So Buffalo get ready.

i actually don’t think this game looked like the Tampa SB. In the SB, TB just harassed and pressured Mahomes. And they only could do that because the entire KC o-line was injured.
 

Tonight, we got Steady pressure on him, but he had time— our coverage was just really great, as was our run D.

i think our guys were serious about wanting a win.

 

i feel bad for anyone that sustains a knee injury though

 

Nothing dirty there. The kid cut it back into pursuit and his cleats got stuck in the turf with guys landing on top.

 

Shame, but that happens from time to time on the field.

didn’t you love the NBC Halloween graphic animation about these awful offenses the Bills throttled, but NOW they’re up against big scary KC who will BOOOry them…. Meanwhile score is like 31-13 and Chiefs are on another lifeline thrown by the zebras who were their offensive MVP

I think they gave the rest of the league an idea on how to stop mahomes.  As long as you have the athletic players to execute the game plan.
 

I also think KC’s offense has regressed and most importantly, their defense has bottomed out.  Statistically their D may not rank last on the league, but their play is darn close!

[Big Blitz]

 

[uninja]

D has just been absolutely savage all season. Tonight they looked like they were out for blood. 

[stevewin]

But was the blowout impressive enough?

I think KC is fully aware of how ***** their defense is and it’s forcing Mahomes and the offense to feel like they need to score every drive.

yeah they had that graphic all cued up but Bills D made it irrelevant!!

38-20 doesn’t sound as impressive as 43-21 but they were kinda the same game. What the opponent got was fluky and the contest as a whole was not as close as the final score.

For sure.

 

Question is, did they build their defense for longevity, or one and done?

Yeah but why do we even care about KC right now, at this point they are 2-3 and trending downward.

 

We need to be worried about the chargers

Kind of feel like that is how defenses have been playing Allen a lot since late last year... nice to see our D be able to use it too.

 

2 safeties high and 4 down linemen and a mix of man and zone underneath that forces you to either run it successfully or chip away at it with short passes.

As of right now KC is on the outside looking in at the playoffs.

yeah i didnt mean to infer that they were playing dirty.   Only that they were serious about winning.

 

 

[CNYfan]

Missed that.   I agree mostly with #6.  Drinking but I agree with most but have to put in for the defensive game plan.   Very nice and those boys were very frustrated so hooray for us!!

Anyone liking Moss over DS more? Seems to run hard, yards after contact, and protects ball better

The only thing he seems to do better is catch the ball.

Teams would generally try to use ball control to slow the Chiefs down by running, eating up clock and keeping the Chiefs offense off the field.
 

The Bills did almost the opposite tonight. Make the Chiefs offense stay on the field for longer periods of time (they ran almost 80 plays!) and slow themselves down. Then the Bills went and scored quickly. Felt like Mahomes got real frustrated.

and man I love watching JA play, he has been so fun to watch since the moment he put on a Bills uni. Kid is such a baller still pinching myself that the Bills have a QB of this caliber. I loved watching Kelly oh and as far as sports heroes Larry Bird was right up there for me when i was a kid but JA taking it to a whole new level

Bills defense has been making every team this year so far earn every single yard the hard way. Your team might come away with points but you’re gonna feel it, and you’re not going to like it. 

[Canadian Bills Fan]

This game...where do I even start. 

 

This was probably my favorite Bills game in recent memory for so many reasons that I was used to but proved to be no longer true.

 

1. Allen played lights out in the hardest and loudest stadiums in  the league. 

 

2. We dominated a top team in terrible weather

 

3. This mat have done a lot to help my BBFS when the first drive after half time made nervous that KC might come back but defense made plays and offense showed back up.

 

 

I am so beyond happy and absolutely love this team!!

12-5 then.  I'm not betting against Mahomes and Reid to quickly turn this thing around.

After the GB preseason game I was ok with that. After Pittsburgh…. Eh. But unless who have guys on the D line who can win off the snap, a lot, I don’t think that will stymie the Bills O.

[NickelCity]

I am sp impressed with this team. To have beaten the chiefs and a staggeringly lopsided officiating crew (look at when the phantom flags were called, not the *one* makeup call) was something I admit I didn't think they could do. Bravo.

      We'll be no 1 seed in AFC and I  believe op was implying that the chiefs may not even be a WC.  They maybe seeing their easy road to post season window has closed.  They can't  neglect defense and yet they haven't solved protecting Mahomes so they gotta hit on an awful lot to compete with that new king of the AFC, you know the one with  top offense  and top defense.

 

    Thats the new narrative that the Bills are generating with their complementary play.   It was there for everyone to see.  Bills get stopped a few times no panic defense get the ball back or limits the damage on scoreboard.    KC got stopped their defense couldn't get the ball back for them.

 

    Bills are a complete team they don't need Josh to carry them yet if its needed he has the ability to do so and doesn't shy away from it.
