We have my son's 5th birthday party today from 3-7. Obviously I cannot be present at that. What should I tell him?

First, they are only young once.  Don't miss anything.  They'll be out of the house before you know it.

 

Second, who is the scheduler here?  Clearly this party should have been during the early game 1-4pm window. However it's too late for that so,

 

Third, Bills theme, game is on.  Have a good time.  Worst case stream it on your phone discreetly.

This is the first time I have felt this way about an upcoming game since before Allen... I feel like we are about to get embarrassed. I don't think this game is even going to be close. I really hope I am wrong and I will be watching the game and cheering like I always do, but thats just how I feel about the state of our team right now.

I feel like bills are overrated today, the talent difference is too great.

We've played them so many times in the past few years but weirdly I feel the most uncertain about this game as I have for any previous one vs Mahomes. Anybody else just feel befuddled on how they feel we will do in this game? There seems to be way more variables than usual.

 

Yup.  Feeling this way all week.  Outside of the first meeting with them in that AFC Championship game where I knew they had more talent than we did at the time, all other games have felt like toss ups to me.  In all of these previous match-ups, I knew we could keep up on the scoreboard but it was always a matter to whether or not the defense could force them to punt enough.  Obviously in the Playoffs, we haven't been able to do that, but that was always the main question.

 

Going into this one, I am not sure we can do enough on either side of the ball.  We're banged up and missing our best defensive player.  We are only heading into the 2nd game for a lot of these reinforcements that just showed up that we are counting heavily on so who knows where that is.  On offense, our WRs are an absolute mess and can't get open.  Not only that, but every pass seems to be at the LOS or in the short areas.  We haven't had a completed pass of 20+ air yards all year it seems when we used to feast on those in the past before Brady took over the offense.  While our run game has been really good, Brady has forgotten about Cook in the passing game which makes things even tougher.  We struggle in big moments against this team as it is, but I fully expect in this game that KC is going to play press a lot, blitz a ton, and stack the box to stop Cook.  They are going to force our WRs to prove they can get open consistently down the field before they back off and I just don't foresee that happening.  

 

So yeah.....this is the first time in a while where I don't see us stepping on the field with them as equals.  If you say the QBs are a wash, their weapons are WAY better than ours, their defense is much better, and their coaches own our coaches until proven differently.  I don't have a great feeling about the game, but all that said, is there a chance we find a way to win?  Yup.  But it doesn't feel the same as it has over the last few years for sure.

Because we wake up early!

[TheFunPolice]

We are going to smoke the Chiefs!

 

Why?

 

Everyone is saying they'll beat us, we don't have the horses, etc 

 

In sports that almost always means the opposite will happen.

 

Coleman will have 120+ yards receiving, we'll get multiple sacks on Mahomes and win by 10+

Coleman doesn’t win 1v1 battles. He’s won 4 of 12 contested catches. Puka wins like 80%, if my AI is correct.

Right, we've seen that, but my point is that he's not getting the contested catches he thrives at: high jump balls. He's only getting balls he sucks at, like back-shoulder throws on the sideline comeback. He isn't good at boxing out, at least on those throws. I'm saying he might reliably catch only ONE kind of ball, but on those he might be unstoppable.

Tell him nothing. If he isn’t a Bills fan by now, he doesn’t deserve presents!😡

Just tell him he's not really your son; that should smooth things over.

Today is as big as it gets. I keep hearing everyone talking about the Pats game down the road. We need both. If we drop this one today the division is probably a pipe dream. It’s also not just about the W for us. A loss is devastating to KC. They will be almost buried in their own division and 4 losses makes you really walk back how great they are. How our defense holds up is almost as important as any of it. If we can make real stops, we can win the Super Bowl. If we can’t stop this team today, I can basically tell you how our season ends. The same way it always does. Last week was an amazing step forward. If we can go out there and back it up and play defense…it’s the most important thing you can see in this season

I think we will be more susceptible to runs up the middle since both Oliver and Jones are out of the line-up and our LBs are small, but KC, at least up until today, has not shown that as a strength (and Pacheco is out).  Will be interesting to see how they game plan against our defense given our weakness at DT and Safety.

[Rockinon]

I don't really get all of the negativity. I think the Bills and Mafia are going to be rockin'. I think the Chiefs with their normally staunch run defense is not prepared for what is about to happen. Cook, the Oline and the TEs are going to put on a show. Allen is going to do enough to get the job done too. He's been off. That changes today. You don't keep an MVP down for long.

 

And the defense is getting the LBs back. The young blood on the DLine and the secondary is going to show out too. I think they get enough stops to give our offense that extra opportunity to put points on the board. The Chiefs may have come on strong the last couple of games, but this is where they run out of steam, in Orchard Park against the team they struggle the most against. Let's do this.

[Playoffs?]

I’m not feeling good.
I just don’t see how we can defend the chiefs’ passing game.  I’m so scared that Mahomes will be able to do whatever he wants back there… and just rotating the ball between Rice, Kelce, Worthy, and Brown.  Josh may truly have to be Superman. 

[zow2]

Allen is going to look better and in control today.  I think the D is starting to come around and will cause some problems for the Chiefs.  People think KC is going to come in here and play a mistake free game? no way.

But if KC does win, they better be walking out of here with some hurt players.  i want the Bills to be super physical.

[Boatdrinks]

For the first time since 2020, I think this one will not be that close. They just look like 2 teams on opposite trajectories. Mahomes is playing well, Allen has been middling as of late. In the past it felt like Allen could always make something happen on his own. It doesn’t seem that way now.

Totally agree. Always choose your kids if you have a real choice. 

[altleg]

Need to put a spy on Mahomes.  His running always kills us.

[muppy]

I really hope the Bills Dub today. I think it is doable. But they can't shoot themselves in the foot with penalties.  And I would love to see #17 have fun out there and do what he is more than capable of. 

 

The home field advantage I really hope swings in our favor and the fans show up as the 12th man.

 

I'm hopeful and nervous. Its a huge game any way you look at it. And has been since the schedule came out

 

Go Bills!

And somehow they almost had the 1 seed last year with an inferior roster….I think you got Coleman on your brain🤪

I suggest slipping a shot of NyQuil and a healthy dose of Ex-Lax in. Then the real game begins.
