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

The Chiefs lost by FOUR ****ING POINTS and everyone is acting like they got shellacked, it's over and may as well give up and retool for next year, just hand the Lombardi to the Bills now?




**** that shit. We're basically one-fourth into the season.

Lotta football still left.

Last year we had a losing record and got blown out in some winnable games. we still hosted the AFCCG. This year we look much better and everyone is doom and gloom.

**** Frazier.

They were underdogs Sunday and it was a pretty sloppy game. Nowhere close to an "A" game from Mahomes or the Chiefs in general.

You realize they were underdogs against the bills right?

Wasn’t this the same game plan the bengals used to shut us down in the second half of the AFCCG? Drop 8 into coverage and dare us to run.

These guys have no ****ing memory of what our defense looked like start of last season apparently.

The defense gave up 24 to the #2 offense in the NFL, playing a 4th round draft pick making his first start at CB.

Yes, of course.

You start changing individual plays that lead to points, it potentially changes everything.

These coaches have different playcalls based on different down and distances, the scoreboard, trends in the game, etc.

Ehhhh . . . no one in their right mind is going to start basing play calls on the butterfly effect. They better not, anyway.

I think the point is that you can't simply add missed opportunities after the game and say "if the Chiefs make two FGS, they win by 2", especially these days when things are driven so much by analytics.

If the score is different at any point in the game, the Bills may have done things differently such as going for it on a 4th down or whatever... and on top of that, it completely ignores the Bills' missed opportunities.

Both teams definitely left a lot of points on the field, but I don't think Buffalo would have gone for it more often on 4th down if KC had an extra 6 points for instance. The Bills already failed multiple times on 4th down to begin with.

Couldn't have said it better myself

At 26-17, it would come down to the play calling on the drive where the Bills punted and then not taking 4.5 minutes off the clock on their touchdown drive.... they score in a minute instead of taking their time and there's still 3:30 left at 26-24, and now the Chiefs are in a different spot.

Or on the Chiefs' 3 and out, up 9, it could be as simple as saying maybe they don't throw out of the shotgun in that situation and end up with 6 yards on the ground, changing that drive.

sure, but if The Chiefs make two less mistakes (pick two out of like half a dozen) they win the game.

They didn't, so they didn't, but to act like Buffalo did some magical defensive voodoo is silly.

If Wylie had chosen to block ANYONE during this game, the Chiefs win. The Bills D is good and Miller was a great addition, but the lack of competent tackle play is where we lost.
