Reports on X saying Bishop went up the tunnel early too. It was a massive hit. Hopefully he's OK because he's been a dog out there today.

Honestly a HUGE win for the defense there holding them to 3. Shocked they didn't go for it.

Having a bunch of really good WRs matter....... When is the last time one of our WRs made a play like that? Our TEs can get open down the field at times, but our WRs can't.

Are we sure something was down on the Cook run? I don't mind KC having to burn the TO, though and still scoring, though!

Asked the same thing earlier. Saw him during a TO, but I am not sure if I have seen him on the field. But I haven't checked the snap counts yet, so not sure what is going on there.

That was probably the best defensive TO McDermott has ever taken. And, as much as I rail on him for doing it so often, I am thrilled with that one. Our defense had no idea what the play call was and they were a complete mess. Could have resulted in a TD with so much miscommunication out there. He saw it and fixed it. The fact they got the stop is great, but for once this TO wasn't to get a look at what the offense was doing, but rather to fix the call.

Yeah.....the result is better, but I was just making the point about our lack of preparation in even the easiest things. After looking at it again, I do thing there was 12 on the field so it saved a new set of downs which is obviously great, but that should never have to happen.

Even if it was, it isn't much better. Poor coaching either way.

Honestly, that is a big win for this defense.

And now we're taking TOs on FG attempts. Never change McDermott.....never change.

Has anyone spotted Hairston yet? I haven't seen him take a snap yet.

What a difference having real WRs makes....... Speed and talent all over just lets guys run free. Helps going against a trash defensive scheme like we have, but the point remains. Talented WRs open up the entire field.

And now we're just going to give free yards to the Chiefs because of flags we will never see replays for.

Once again.....no WR that Allen can count on to just get open off the line..... You can't beat good teams with no WR weapons.

For whatever reason, after the 4th game of the season Cook was taken completely out of the passing game. He was averaging like 3-4 catches a game and now he's not even on the field, let alone being targeted. It truly is baffling not to have your 2nd best offensive player (and best weapon) on the field on the most important downs.

Really nice play design there. Just have to tip your cap sometimes. That said, it should have never happened because we should have been off the field if it wasn't for a bogus holding call on Bishop.

Major holds happening on the Chiefs line, but they are not calling them, of course.

NOT A HOLD ON BISHOP

Expecting Poyer to run with Rice is just death.....

Right decision to go for it. But this is what happens when you don't have that WR1 that you can count on to make the play when you need it. Regardless, stay aggressive and keep making this decisions to go. I do miss just throwing the ball to Cook in space and letting him go to work, but apparently, he is not an option in the pass game anymore.

Good start by the offense. But we have all seen this before. The script coming out is great, but then things fall apart. We'll see if they can keep it up because it's going to take a lot of points to win today.

Can't go 1 play without a penalty against us. Buckle up..... Gonna be a long day with the flags.

Stay healthy. Play hard. Play smart. WIN! GO BILLS!!!!

Alright guys....a Bills victory has been virtually guaranteed. Just placed the biggest moneyline bet I have ever placed against the Bills. So, I have done my part to try to bring us a win. Ugh....I really hope I lose the money.

Yup. Feeling this way all week. Outside of the first meeting with them in that AFC Championship game where I knew they had more talent than we did at the time, all other games have felt like toss ups to me. In all of these previous match-ups, I knew we could keep up on the scoreboard but it was always a matter to whether or not the defense could force them to punt enough. Obviously in the Playoffs, we haven't been able to do that, but that was always the main question. Going into this one, I am not sure we can do enough on either side of the ball. We're banged up and missing our best defensive player. We are only heading into the 2nd game for a lot of these reinforcements that just showed up that we are counting heavily on so who knows where that is. On offense, our WRs are an absolute mess and can't get open. Not only that, but every pass seems to be at the LOS or in the short areas. We haven't had a completed pass of 20+ air yards all year it seems when we used to feast on those in the past before Brady took over the offense. While our run game has been really good, Brady has forgotten about Cook in the passing game which makes things even tougher. We struggle in big moments against this team as it is, but I fully expect in this game that KC is going to play press a lot, blitz a ton, and stack the box to stop Cook. They are going to force our WRs to prove they can get open consistently down the field before they back off and I just don't foresee that happening. So yeah.....this is the first time in a while where I don't see us stepping on the field with them as equals. If you say the QBs are a wash, their weapons are WAY better than ours, their defense is much better, and their coaches own our coaches until proven differently. I don't have a great feeling about the game, but all that said, is there a chance we find a way to win? Yup. But it doesn't feel the same as it has over the last few years for sure.
