Let's Talk About the Bills.

[TinyEvel]

Early Vegas line is Chiefs -3 at home.

Buffalo (6-6) coming off a bye, has seen their offense improve under an interim OC, but five of the six the teams they've beaten are at or near the bottom of the league: Giants, Jets, Commanders, Raiders, Jets. Last week lost a close one to Philadelphia in OT. Bills had over 500 yards of offense.

Chiefs (8-4) well, we know how they've been doing. Finally back at Arrowhead after two road games and likely with two defensive starters out. How do we beat 'em?

The BuffaLOL Bills remind me of that annoying summer fly.. the one that keeps buzzing around your head, landing on your skin at times, harmless, however. You wanna swatter the little ****er as it keeps buzzing around and not giving you a peaceful time by yourself. You finally smash the little bitch. But then its offspring returns, to annoy you just the same. I really dislike summer flies.

If the Chiefs win this board will mostly be on board with a potential SB path.

If the Chiefs lose CP will crater into the depth of pure hell

Can't wait for the "blow it all up" threads that rival 2BD, while all them act like they just won the AFCCG and this is now their year.

This is definitely a huge turning point game - for both teams. If the bills win, they’re back on the SB train, if not, they’ll be calling for Mcdermott’s head

I think the only thing for the Chiefs is putting the Bills back into the playoff hunt, because they're one team that would make a difference in playoff seeding if they don't get the 1 seed.

Currently, I'd say it doesn't matter a ton outside of HFA for a game or two, in terms of who they play.

Besides that, it's just fuel for fan narratives/predictions until they get to the games that really count.

Yes

CP 2018-2022.... can't win a SB when you rely on Mahomes to score 28+ every game!

Chiefs only need 28+ once in the 2022 postseason, limit that same team to 21 the following season, along with all other playoff teams its faced

CP 2023... can't win a SB unless Mahomes can score 28+ every game!

I'm ready to bring out the creature.

[RunKC]

I'm really interested in seeing the young players tomorrow.

Wanya Morris, Chamarri Conner, Rashee Rice, Deneric Prince. Maybe FAU?

Rice has already shown WR2 potential and I think Conner looks good enough to replace Reid. Man if Wanya looks good we are in business.

OK, this post has rekindled my flame. Reached deep down and found a spark of hope.

Chiefs injuries are bad but they keep bouncing back after losses.

Bills are 1-4 on the road and 1-4 against teams .500 or better.

Tough to score without Pop but Andy and Patrick find a way. Defense regains championship form.

Spags held Buffalo to 24 at Arrowhead last year. A better defense can hold down Buffalo again this year.

Chiefs 20, Bills 17

You are what your record says you are. Buffalo is an extremely dangerous team that has been inconsistent, primarily due to poor coaching at the end of games. Examples include calling timeout as the opponent is desperately rushing a key 4th down play. And having 12 players on the field during a missed final play of regulation field goal that would have won the Bills the game. And playing defensive-backs 10 yards off on a final defensive drive where the Bills just need one stop.

On the other hand, Buffalo has the makings of a "team no-one wants to face" over the next 5 weeks. Since firing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, the Bills offense has scored 30+ points in back to back weeks. The Buffalo offense put up 31 points against a Philadelphia defense that Kansas City struggled to score 17 against. In addition to the 31 points, there were two missed field goals (should have scored more).

In addition to the OC changeup, Buffalo also traded for Rasul Douglas, who is a very smart and physical CB that has a top 10 PFF grade for his position. They also signed Linval Joseph that has paid immediate dividends by anchoring their defensive line. I believe if the team had these two players at the start of the season, the Bills would be 8-4 right now. This is because the Bills have 3 losses this season where the Josh Allen led offense took the lead, left the field with less than 2 minutes to go, and never saw the field again.

The Bills have the 5th highest net point differential in the league. They are a good team that has been bad at times (due to their own fault), but also very unlucky - unlucky from an injury, scheduling and referee standpoint (similar to how KC got the raw end of the refereeing stick last night). What do I mean by poor scheduling luck? Think about it - it's not just about who you play, but it's also about when you play them. For example: Miami got to play the Broncos at the beginning of the year when they were struggling badly. The Bills (and Chiefs) played them mid-year when they had their kinks worked out. The Dolphins got to play the Bengals in September, when Burrow was hobbling around the field. The Bills played the Bengals after Burrow was healed, but one game before he went out for the season. The schedule is not just about the opponent, but where the opponent is in their season when you play them.

For example, the Chiefs get Buffalo when they're hot. Rather than early on, when they were struggling.

Dude literally just copied and pasted that from an earlier post...nah, we don't need the spam.

[MahomesMagic]

Diqlix is a slow learner that doesn’t know jack about football.

Still remember that Buffalo moron lecturing us about how the Buffalo offense was better than KC because of point differential and Buffalo running up the score on teams that had quit.

Right before Mahomes scored on drive after drive while the Buffalo offense sputtered in the AFC Championship game.

If Buffalo wins it will be because the Chiefs can’t score 24 points.
