Carucci Take 2: It’s time for the Bills to clear Chiefs postseason hurdle
‘The Bills have proven they’re good enough, in every respect, to get past the obstacle that has kept them from advancing in three of the previous seven seasons: the Chiefs. Buffalo has an offense that can easily overcome every challenge Kansas City’s defense poses. The Bills have a defense that can stifle a Chiefs offense that no longer has the explosiveness it once possessed. The Bills have special teams that, while shaky at times, rose to the occasion with a pair of Tyler Bass field goals and a clutch on-side kick recovery in last Sunday’s divisional-round win against Baltimore.’

With Thuney moved outside, the Chiefs interior three offensive linemen are no longer the dominant group they were for the first meeting with the Bills. Whether it be Rousseau or Oliver, someone needs to get consistent pressure on Patrick Mahomes from the front four. There were many receivers running free and easy through the Bills secondary back in November that Mahomes couldn’t locate because he was busy running for his life from big number 50.’

And I think you’ve seen the Buffalo Bills mature into the team they are right now. It’s been fun to watch.”’
In Kansas City, it's already the Super Bowl for Bills backer bars
‘The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have formed a somewhat benevolent rivalry over the past few years, which means that Alan Burns’ Bills backer bar in Parkville sees its highest-grossing weekends when Bills fans travel to the area for the football game. Al’s goes from a neighborly townie bar to a shoulder-to-shoulder party. Stuffed with red-white-and-blue-clad Bills fans, the bar feels like St. Patrick’s Day and looks like the Fourth of July.’
