Bills scored 26 total points and had 11 true possessions (12, minus one that was a kneel down). Chiefs scored 33 total points and had 12 true possessions (13, minus one that was a kneel down). Bills were facing the #3 defense in the NFL. Chiefs were playing the #17 defense in the NFL. Bills put up 31 points on 10 possessions on that Dolphins D. |

Chiefs didn't fumble 4 times. And saying that you had 11 'true' possessions doesn't really help matters much, but okay. And didn't we already beat BUF by 9 points? And no one cares about total yards. Scoring defense is all that really matters. MIA was 3rd in the NFL in scoring defense before the Chiefs showed up. No idea what they are now, but probably not 3rd anymore. And no, the Bills defense doesn't get any credit when we're talking about offensive scoring. We're only talking about how efficiently the offense scores, because defensive scores aren't reliable, as any Chiefs fan for the last 30 years knows only too well. So yay for you, BUF scored a defensive TD. Can you count on that every game? No? Then who cares? Look, going back to the beginning of 2019, the Chiefs score any points on about 67% of their possessions, discounting possessions where it's just kneel downs. Now I did the math for BUF Last week, but don't have them in front of me here, but probably I found that they scored on about 50% of their possessions on average per game. Slightly more FGs than TDs, iirc. Which is why my first thought when trying to predict the outcome of the PIT vs. BUF game was "BUF should scrape out a win here, as long as Josh doesn't shit the bed like he did against HOU last season in the playoffs." Because this season PIT's scoring efficiency is worse than BUF's by about 15-20%, as I recall. And everyone got lucky, because PIT still couldn't run the ball, and their entire WR corps has the yips and dropped about a half dozen passes that hit them in the hands. But like I said, the Chiefs score 67% of their possessions against the league. And even in a downpour the Chiefs scored 5 offensive scores, 3 TDs and 2 FGs. In a hurricane. 56% efficiency. Which, as it turns out, is just a few points under the Chiefs' usual efficiency. Congratulations, your defense is slightly better than league average. And the Bills? Let's review: 9 possessions. 4 punts. 2 TDs. 1 FG. 3 scoring possessions out of 9 possessions, for a whopping 33% efficiency, against what most pundits would say is one of the worst defenses in the league. Against your "top 5 offense." Apparently our defense is pretty good, total yardage stats aside. Next point: The Chiefs score above 60% efficiency per game against the league, since 2018. Actually, in 2018, when the OL was healthy for the season, it was around 75%, but who's counting? BUF scores at about 50% (53%?) this season, which is an improvement over last season. Final point: The Chiefs score TDs at about 65% per scoring possessions, so nearly twice as many TDs as opposed to FGs, though this season since Schwartz went down, that's dropped off to about 50%. BUF is simply not in that ballpark. Yet. Maybe never. But certainly not right now. But right now, if the Chiefs and Bills played a game, and BUF gave the Chiefs 11-12 possessions, the odds are good, based on what we've seen over the last 2.75 seasons, that the Chiefs would score 6-7 times, 4-6 TDs and a couple three FGs. Call it 38-42 points. And BUF would score 5-6 times, probably 3-4 TDs and 2-3 FGs. So about 28-34 points. Of course, "any given Sunday," is a real thing, I'm only talking about statistics and probabilities here. But when I predicted the score for the Chiefs. vs. Bills earlier this season, I was only off by 3 or 4 points for the game. Helped that there were no scoring turnovers. Look, you want to toot your team's horn, go ahead. But don't come in here talking a lot of smack about how great the Bills are after we already dominated your team inside a typhoon. It's a bad look, kid.

Lol @ thinking the Pittsburgh defense without Bush, Dupree, AND Haden is better than the Dolphins D we played on Sunday.
Make up your mind, if week 9 on is the way to go, why are you using season long statistics to prove a point about the Steelers defense? It’s clearly not what it was when they were healthy. |

I’m not sure what the point is? Is the point that the Chiefs offense is better? Because I have no argument there. Chiefs offense is legendary. But football is a team game. Offense, defense, special teams, everything. Last edited by diqlix; 12-15-2020 at 07:33 PM.. |

The Bills sure looked like the best team in the league against the Chiefs.
Yeah. Scoreboard. |

In general though, I just look at playoff opponents and not so much hotness or what teams do against non-playoff teams, and the Bills have some impressive wins... I'm sure more than the vast majority of the league. Quote:
I'm personally highly confident in any game the Chiefs play, and will hopefully be for years to come... but, also well aware the margin of victory is slim against even 'ok' teams, much less true contenders. And even though we're all currently laughing at the crop of young QBs, they're obviously not void of talent, either. And if you need a refreshing inferiority complex, just scroll through any GDT. It's where the Chiefs are terrible and can do no good and can never win by enough.... |

Colin must reeeeally miss the old BCS.
He wants to go back to determining the best team by style points. |
