You're right, Jim V (Bills fan). The Chiefs ARE still the class of the AFC right now. Even though they haven't played like it. They're better than both the Chargers and Ravens, the two teams they lost two. Dumb turnovers are the difference between this team being 4-0 and instead, 2-2.
That said, our defense has been REALLY bad these first few games . . . . . . like really REALLY bad. So for that reason, while I don't think the Bills are better than the Chiefs, that fact will make it a MUCH closer game than the AFC Title Game.
I can't honestly see our defense shutting down Josh Allen, unless he just simply makes dumb mistakes. Our coverage has been poor, we can't stop the run, we have no pass rush to speak of. Just been awful all the way around.
The silver lining is that our offense is as good as ever. Very efficient. For the most part, moving the ball at will in these first few games. If not for some dumb turnovers near the redzone, we would be averaging 40 points a game right now and would be 4-0 in spite of our god awful defense.
I really have no idea how Buffalo's D will stop our O. We can run the ball. Have much better run blocking with our new O-Line. Can obviously pass the ball. We can kill you deep with our passing game, and if you choose to take that away with deep safety play, we'll kill you underneath and with our running game.
All that to say, expect a high scoring affair Sunday night. With the Chiefs being at home and our offense being a little better than your offense, I expect for us to come out on top. But make no mistake, this will not be a beatdown like the AFC Championship game.
I'd love to be proven wrong on that, but can't imagine that I will be based on how bad our D has looked.
