What did the chiefs do on defense?

.l  In some cases,  like those helium balloons he was tossing to the RB's last night,  significant room.   

helium balloons— haha. So true. I know he didn’t want to get those batted down, but he needs to call up Trent edwards for some lessons in check down throws.

The Bills stopped the Bills more than the Chiefs did. Outside of the Pittsburgh game that has been the story any time we don't move the ball this year.

 

I thought Daboll was way too predictable in the 3rd quarter. I said in the game thread that I hope he is actually offered a head coaching job this offseason. Admittedly I was in an emotional state at that point, but I'm not entirely backing off. The offense has too much talent to stall out against a bad defense like that. Luckily Allen decided to take the game over because there was a moment there where I wondered if the offense was going to choke away an outstanding defensive performance. And it's hard to blame the execution on those drives. KC was just sniffing out our plays.

 

Daboll needs to take RB screen passes out of the play book. It is bad execution across the board every time. If he wants to sprinkle in some flare passes or WR screens, fine. Just please stop trying RB screens. It is a waste of a down.

Chiefs dbs are just so good at holding and it not being called lol unfortunately I think we have to work on that.  diggs got held on that 3rd and 2 drop to start the second half and quite a few other plays.  We were probably a bit too predictable in the second half trying to run out the clock but the game really was never close despite cris collingsworth trying to claim the chiefs had all the momentum until the roughing the passer call we got or whatever nonsense he said

Feels like the Bills installed a custom offense/set of plays to exploit what the Chiefs defended poorly. They ran way more two TE sets, multiple guys in the backfield. More power based running, Lamar/Ravens style triple option stuff. Running pass plays out of tighter formations and causing major issues with busted coverage. This is not how the Bills want to beat you, but it did put up points effectively.
 

The fact that the Bills could do this, even remotely competently, should terrify other teams. This team is starting to do that really frustrating chameleon stuff old NE teams used to do where you have no idea what the hell they’re gonna do on offense. The amount of stuff the Bills put on tape today should be keeping DC’s up at night.

Interesting that you seem to wanna just ignore our dominance in the first half. Take away the Hyde pick 6 and Allen’s dagger TD to Sanders to seal it, and we still end up ahead 24-20 on the scoreboard. 

Not ignoring that, The offense and Allen made some huge plays over the course of the game…. I believe they had one first down and 2 3 and outs to start the 2nd half until early 4th quarter… the defense was outstanding though and kept it from becoming any sort of a competitive game.

I think the bills offense as a whole is a situation where the statistics tell you the truth about how good it is in your eyes lie because it doesn't quite look the same as it did last year in terms of the passing game. Essentially, Buffalo is taking a more balanced approach and throwing almost 10% less than they did last year so far. The results is that the running game is way way more effective than it was last season. So far Buffalo has a second best score percentage in the league on all of its drives I'm a very high number of drives they have and different players are emerging because they are showing a willingness to use different personnel groupings in addition to the three receiver formula that dominated last year. Just like the defense, the offense is truly becoming more game to game and situation to situation dependent. It's part of the reason why we are beginning to hear stories about Friday and Saturday installs and new plays all the time.

 

If you look at the entire game. Buffalo had 10 drives, scored on six of them and five of the six scores were touchdowns. That is best offense in the NFL drive efficiency and we can add to it that Buffalo did not have a turnover.

 

What I saw is that both teams really had trouble adjusting to the third quarter rainstorm after halftime. It manifested itself in some punting from Buffalo because they played to protect the ball and the Chiefs blitzed more because they knew Buffalo was going to, but the same rainstorm manifested itself in two ridiculous turnovers for Kansas City. Buffalo got a pick 6 on a ball that slipped out of hills hands and recovered a snap that slipped out of mahomes hands. The teams each got a touchdown once they both adjusted to it, and once Buffalo got the fourth quarter drive the game was over.

My bigger concern on some of these drives was running into LOADED boxes on some first downs.    You gotta' audible out of those.    There was one where  KC had a blitz coming from the outside on both sides and they ran a slow developing handoff that got dropped for a loss.   The Bills had success running early,  and late, but in the middle portion of the game KC was stopping it and I thought the Bills weren't adapting.

 

 

I thought those first down carries were about nothing more than getting the clock moving. I disagreed with it at the time and just wanted them to keep running their offense, but can still see the value in it.

I don’t mean to be critical after a win, but the chiefs seem to really confuse the Bills’ offense over these last 3 meetings. We got them on some big plays last night, but the offense seemed out of rhythm all night. 
 

Coming into the game, we heard that their Run D was terrible And that they give up a lot of passing in the intermediate area. But the Bills didn’t run the ball great, and didn’t find success in the intermediate area. Diggs and Beasley were non-factors outside of the Diggs bomb. 

I must of been watching the wrong game. The game I watched the Bills had 436 total yards. 121 of those were from the run game on 28 carries. I'm not putting much stock in "rhythm" when the team is dealing with a hostile road game environment in bad inclement weather. And a game delay of over an hour to boot. 

 

I think they played ok. JMO of course.
