Bills defensive plan vs the Chiefs

[O.city]

Josh Allen? Patrick Mahomes? Forget about them. Leslie Frazier had the pen last & won the latest chapter of this rivalry.

With his “spy games”, he unleashed Von Miller & disrupted the KC passing game with man coverage while still protecting his DBs. https://t.co/N9QIqKzFQ2

Not sure if anyone has the athletic or not but here's a cool article breaking down the Bills game plan.

Basically, they had Miller now and didn't last year and he allows this defensive gameplan to work

Tampa's run defense especially since it didn't even have Suh's replacement was overrated by the announcers of that game. Suh is at least a borderline HOFer and he has been missed this year by Tampa. JPP is gone as well.

That being said, the Chiefs do look like they have what it takes to at least be a good running team.

And as for being in 3rd and long, well, if your OT's can't pass block, you're going to be in 3rd and long anyway, more often than not. And I'd offer that at least if you only get two yards on first running the ball, that's better than an incomplete pass or sack because at least you've shown the defense that you WILL run the ball, which does make the pass rush actually play it honestly.

So I offer my prescription.

More snaps under center, more two and three TE sets to help chip block as well as run block, more commitment to being balanced in run/pass ratio. Less RPO, more effective play-action.

I'll add more quick slants to my prescription as well.

I literally posted all of this in my thread after the Raiders game.

Then, you came in and posted this after the Tampa Bay game :

So...which one is it?

Oh, dang, you got me!

Only not.

Not trying to be a dick.

I'm just wondering if you still think it's just execution or not.

I don't think the things are mutually exclusive at all.

None of this stuff is. It's why these arguments just go round and round in circles.

I think if our OT's are studs, we could do pretty much anything we want and be successful.

They're not, so we can't.

And for whatever reason, Tampa couldn't deal with the RPO's, and neither could Arizona.

Buffalo and Indy had answers.

I think we ought to get away from it. I don't think we can consistently execute it against strong front fours.

Lots of OL talk this week, so in the Mahomes review I'll go more in-depth on flushes (OL fault) vs happy feet (Mahomes' fault) plays, as well as detailing who was responsible for pressures and how often.

Should be... not fun. But maybe enlightening? No idea what to expect tbh. pic.twitter.com/n6WIrZURno

Sure.

Route combo of Fortson/Gray on left side works to draw underneath LB's to Fortson and free up Gray. Another second and this is a decent gain over the middle. pic.twitter.com/WWlt6m66Gt

Wylie, just total ass / fail.

It's that hitch, that little delay when Patrick pulls it down to hand it off or pulls it back to throw it that kind of allows defenses to already be in position it seems like...

But yes, get away from the RPO.

Perfect playcall. We just didn’t execute. This is most likely a TD or 20 yard gain to go inside the 10 at worse. Goddamnit

Got a FG to go up 20-17 but that would have likely made it 24-17

This is the Burton screen. It was a perfect call against the Bills blitz. If it connects at minimum it is a first down. Best case a touchdown. People will criticize the throw. But Mahomes knew how quickly the window was closing with those blitzes. #JacobsEyeInTheSky pic.twitter.com/lmQJvFI9C9

Looks like they had it blocked for a TD to me. If everyone keeps their blocks (and no holding calls) and I don't think a defender touches him.

That's why I think everyone who is crying "ding dong, the witch is dead" because the Chiefs lost to the Bills by 4 points aren't really looking at the game.

KC was close to breaking it open a couple times early. Not even talking about the missed FG or the INTs, but if they hit on a couple plays they missed...

More homerism.

This kind of thing happens for both teams.

If the Bills hit on the plays they missed, they would have broke the game open too. Both teams had plenty of misses.

That’s the Andy Heck/OBJ/Wylie special. Get used to it!

Which plays exactly?
Allen made two throws that won the game. Both easy throws where the wide open receiver beat Williams. That was it.
Mahomes threw a perfect ball to MVS and his buttery fingers couldn't hold on to the ball. Missed TD right there. Flips the outcome of the game.

If you wanna talk about homerism, as a Bills fan, you can't watch that game and come out of it saying that Allen is equal to or better than Mahomes. He will always be below Mahomes. It's a fact of life, like the sun rising in the morning and the ocean waves moving back and forth.
