I feel good, I do expect a win. I can't handle the thought of us not winning. I usually don't let games bother me too much, I was surprisingly calm for 13 seconds because I have been let down before by the Bills. This one though, this is our redemption game. We are the better team, we need to win this game. It's in Buffalo...we can't lose to the Chiefs here. Our defensive injuries are so worrisome for me. Keeping my fingers crossed we get at least Taron Johnson, Douglas and Dodson back. We can't have two back ups at corner and linebacker. I was watching Hard Knocks when Miami was cleaning out the lockers and thinking “man, I hope this doesn’t happen Sunday.” It’s been a crazy season but I’ve enjoyed it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBuffalo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Concern but only because of the injuries. Feel like the offense has found a little confidence and swagger. But that D has been through hell and back and add in the issues with special teams. It is a lot to overcome. They can do it! But it’s asking a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 38 minutes ago, Cvanvol7 said: That's actually total underdog in his career. 7-3 Straight up. Only losses to Brady, Goff (lol) and Allen. It does include 2017. Yup. The only time he failed to cover as an underdog was to the Bills last season so we've got that going for us.

Doc Brown Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My gut is telling me that if Taron Johnson plays we win. If he doesn't we lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 2 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Gut says close loss with a special teams gaff that contributed big time to the loss and we again head into the off-season questioning whether McDermott is wasting Allen and SBs. I gotta say, this is completely surprising coming from you. You're usually much more positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Feeling decent, but worried about that officiating team and our special teams, atm. Bass has been erratic, we're on our backup punter, and that ref team is calling an average of ten penalties/game on us iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Grundy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My gut is telling me it’s about to experience a familiar and more hurtful sporting punch right in that location. Because life is pain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) My gut says unless Rasul Douglas, Taron Johnson, and Tyrel Dodson come back - we're in trouble. The good news is Douglas says he's going to play. Taron Johnson has been getting limited practices in, which says to me he's got to be fairly far along in Protocol. The bad news is that once again, they've all been limited in practice today. Douglas says he'll play, but that's not really his call. There have been situations where guys have said they're good to go, but then didn't get a full practice in and were made Inactive. If we have all 3 of them out there and we don't take any more injuries, then we can win this game. If we have Dane Jackson, Kaiir Elam, and Cam Lewis as our starting CB's and A.J. Klein and Dorian Williams as our starting LB'ers - against Patrick Mahomes - that's a terrifying situation. It's one thing for the MASH unit to hold up against Mason Rudolph and the Steelers Offense. It's another thing entirely to expect the same thing against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Uncle Monkeyhead Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Bills win this game. We will have only Rasul and Dodson back. And still, we will win. We find a way like we have the last 6 games KC is a great team and defending world champ. But the Bills play Buster Douglas to Mike Tyson. It’s gonna be a slobberknocker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that says a lot about the job McD has done (even though some may not want to admit it). Through everything this defense has really done well. Credit to Beane also of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillMafia716ix Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Depends on the injuries. I don’t think Bernard will be back in time for this game which is a big loss especially having to deal with Kelce and Pacheco. Hopefully Douglas and Taron Johnson can play if we down either of those guys or both, It’s going to be tough. Key to the game is going to be our Dline and Josh. Can they get pressure on Mahomes?? They haven’t been able to put any pressure on Mahomes the last two playoff meetings and he’s killed us. If that happens a 3rd time I don’t see us winning. If Mahomes is on point, is Josh going to stay disciplined long enough to not play hero ball. When Josh is pressing..that’s when the bad Josh comes out. If we can get pressure on Mahomes and Josh plays another clean game we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I actually feel pretty good about the game. I think it's going to be a very tough battle, especially with our banged up defense. This is one I think we finally win and get back to the AFCCG though. From there, who knows but I feel good about this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I expect a win, but the Mahomes/Rice connection is getting better and better and Pacheco is a menace. At any time you could get the best version of Kelce and I expect Chris Jones to be his usual havoc wreaking self. This is going to be a tough one.

Rich Stadium Original Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 For you youngsters and non hockey people out there, I am having this Deja Vu feeling about the Sabres-Hurricanes semi final hockey series in 2006. Sabres had the best team in the NHL that season, and were the odds on favorites to win the Stanley Cup. Then in the semi finals, the injury bug bit the defense corps, then bit it again, then bit it some more. In the end, the starting defense was a lot of backups and callups from the minors. Despite excellent play by Ryan Miller and the rest of the offense, the deficit was just too much to overcome, and they ended up losing the series. If the gameday inactives look like the current injury report then, well................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
