Holding the Chefs to 3 points on the 1st half/2nd half "Double Dip" was HUGE!!!!

[Special K]

The Chefs had the ball for the last possession of the first half, and the first possession of the second half, and only managed to score 3 points!!

 

I really think this was the true turning point of the game.....the Bills came up big on the Goal Line stand to hold the Chefs to a FG to end the first half (shout-out to Cole Bishop for the bone-jarring hit on Kelce), and forced a three and out on the first possession of the second half.

 

Things would have been a lot different if the Chefs go TD, TD in that situation......great job by the D for minimizing the damage on those two drives!!

 

Go Bills!!!

 

 

[JaBu]

I totally agree, that was huge.  It was nice to see we had a defense capable of making that Goal Line stand. That game is the first one all year that I thought maybe we do have a Championship caliber defense this year. Keep it rolling!

 

[Chandler#81]

Completely agree. I’m still in mourning over Hoeght.. 😢

[GunnerBill]

We actually held them to -4 on the double dip. The Bills scored 7 inside the final 2 minutes of the half, they responded with 3 and then we had them 3 and out to start the second half.

Bills aren’t good, Chiefs have too many offensive line injuries. From the Athletic:

 

“Jones: I don’t know. The Chiefs’ offensive line was again short-handed in Buffalo’s 28-21 win, so it could be a different story the next time they meet.”

 

“Rodriguez: McDermott will still need to scheme around deficiencies if his team hopes to make a deep run. And we’ll need to see a similar performance against a team with fewer offensive issues than the Chiefs have to really buy in.”

 

“Nguyen: I still don’t know if the Bills defense has the talent to bottle up the Chiefs consistently. Kudos to them for doing it on this day, though.”

 

It is just unbelievable, the excuse for the Chiefs bad start was injuries to WRs, now it’s OL. The Bills have five injured defensive linemen, it sort of gets mentioned. The Bills beat the Chiefs and it was worse than the score indicates. There will be plenty of people on this site that will buy into the Chiefs excuse machine.

It was huge no doubt about it. I still want to see them put the hammer down on the Chiefs in the 2nd half. Spags does a great job against the Bills coming out of the half. Held the Bills to 7 2nd half points (10 if Prater makes the kick). The Bills defense was the reason they won in the 2nd half 

[Gregg]

Going to be interesting watching KC going forward. They have a bye this week but after that a huge divisional game at Denver. They could be looking at 5-5. That Broncos defense is really good and Nix is developing into a good QB. Plus, playing at Denver is never easy.

And the Athletic power ranking for week 9 had the Chiefs at #4 (Bills #10) with tag line "They're baaaaaaack" - and all media proclaiming the Chiefs were now on stride to be unstoppable with their receivers back, the almighty unstoppable genius Spags, and Mahomes for MVP

Did all those people pick the chiefs to win?  Admitting you’re wrong is super tough most people just double down 😂. 

the scheming around deficiencies thing is giving me a chuckle…every team has to scheme around deficiencies lol no team is anywhere close to perfect this year

Watching GMFB, 20 minutes in and no mention of Bills vs Chiefs. The Patriots are now going to be number one seed.

I fast-forward or change channel for anything Patriots-related.  My wife doesn't understand how I can hate something so much 😛

How about when Bills went no huddle against Spags dime package and ran for TD. It was two running plays.

If Denver beats them the chiefs division win odds take a huge hit.  Thats gonna be a massive game. That would not only grow Denver’s division lead but it puts them in more danger against the chargers too who won the first head to head and are 3-0 in the division 5-1 in the conference already

As much as it frustrates me that this team spends so much money and draft picks along the D-line it is part of their strategy to be able to survive injuries to the unit. And right now the Bills depth along the D-line is being tested but also they have depth to plug into. KC had injuries but injuries are a part of the game and both sides have injuries it just so happened the Bills had depth to sustain a good D-line despite some front line guys being hurt.

Obviously I’d like the Chiefs to be gone, it is a real possibility. Where are all the Chiefs’ apologists that frequent this site? Are they sleeping in?

The Pats play at the Bucs, and the Bills play at the Dolphins. There is a good chance the Bills will be 7-2 and the Pats 7-3 by next Sunday afternoon.

This game was a tipping point for both teams in terms of winning their divisions. KC is now 2 games behind the Broncos and 1 game behind the Chargers who hold the tie breaker over them. KC would have to sweep Denver and beat the Chargers home to have a shot at the division. I think they could easily beat the Chargers but two wins over Denver is hard. Assuming KC splits Denver and beat the Chargers that puts them at 7 wins against 5 losses. To win the division after a split with Denver they would have to beat the Colts and at home (tough but possible) and win out against the lesser teams (Titans, Raiders, Texans, and Dallas) and even then that would put them at 12-5 with no margin for error 11-6 likely doesn't get you there. 

 

KC still has a pretty good shot at the wildcard. If you assume there's only 1 team coming out of the AFC North and the 5 seed is the loser of the AFC East. Then there's 2 slots for 3 teams. IF Denver wins the AFC West you then have KC/Chargers/Jags currently setting up for 2 wildcard spots. I think KC can comfortably get to a wildcard with 11 wins. Which allows them to split with Denver and lose an additional game and they just have to take care of the 4 softies on their schedule, split with Denver, and split the Colts/Chargers games at home. If KC gets to 10 wins by dropping a softie or losing to both the Colts and Chargers then I still think they have a good shot against the Jags or Chargers to take the 6/7 seed. 

 

There's still so much football left to play but I think this game was much bigger margin of error wise for both teams in terms of winning their respective divisions. Had the Bills lost and been 5-3 they would have put themselves in a tough position to win the division and be a wildcard too.

Sean takes a lot of heat for timeouts.   Last night he was 2/3  

He saved the TD by calling timeout at the 1 before the half

 

He saved a KC first down by calling timeout on the FG, because we had 12 men on the field

He lost the 4th n 17

Im having trouble telling how much of it was due to bad preparation and how much was because it was just so damn loud yesterday lol. Probably 1-2 of each cause
