HappyDays

We have a half game lead on them even if they win this one. We don't have to win 9 in a row, we just have to keep pace with them.

Nothing I've seen from the Chiefs tonight makes me think they are going to rip off 9 more wins in a row.

The Bills scored 17 points today! That is a poor offensive showing. Get out of here with this crap.

Huh?? He missed a wide open TD to Hardman, then just ran through a wide open hole left by undisciplined DL.

They picked a great drive to suddenly lose contain.

Woah how did Mahomes miss that wide open TD? He was looking right at it.

Sure, I already knew that though. I am generally concerned that the Bills offense has struggled to score since the Steelers game. We're better than we've showed.

I mean...

That's two accurate deep shots that the Titans WRs have failed to come up with. That's the Titans problem right now, they have zero passing offense. They're giving the Chiefs way too many chances. And I hate to be this guy but why is it that our defense can never rise to the occasion when put in bad situations? Feels like a bunch of times this year the defense has given up a TD after an offensive turnover or 3 and out and we all just shrug our shoulders and say nothing they could do. Meanwhile the Titans are putting the clamps on the best offense in the league despite being put in an impossible situation over and over again.

I won't say it makes me feel better about our offense's issues, but it gives us a cushion for the #1 seed. I'll take that. Right now I'm actually starting to get a little nervous about the Dolphins. Our home matchup against them could very well decide the #1 seed.

The difference is that last year Mahomes had a slump and played the worst football of his career in the middle of the season. He was the main reason your offense stalled out for a few games. This year he's playing as well as he ever has and still not finding the same success we've seen from them in the past. The weapons just aren't as good, and as you've said the pass protection has been spotty at best.

Pretty obvious officiating discrepancy tonight.

The Chiefs have the same problem as the Bills - every team they face gives them their best. And I don't care what anyone says, trading Tyreek Hill has clearly made their offense easier to defend. Their downfield passing game has all but disappeared.

I know people on here hate Vrabel but he is unquestionably one of the best coaches in the league. There is a huge talent gap between them and most of the teams that they've played this year but they've been getting it done. The Titans management screwed him when they traded AJ Brown away.

KC is clearly the bigger threat to the #1 seed IMO. I'm rooting for them to lose as many games as possible.

Can't drop big completions like that against the Chiefs. This is my fault, I'll turn the game back off.

DaQuan Jones has unfortunately leveled off quite a bit these past two weeks after playing at an elite level before the bye. He is the linchpin of our run defense.

Maybe we can pump the brakes on the idea that the Chiefs have better weapons than the Bills. They have an unbelievable TE, a decent #2 WR in Smith-Schuster, and a bunch of role players. Their pass protection is a little better than ours and run game with the RBs about the same. Their offense is really just Andy Reid's scheme plus elite play from Mahomes. There's no reason our offense shouldn't consistently be performing better than theirs.

I gave Tennessee zero chance to win with Malik Willis playing, to me he doesn't look ready for the pros. And i have zero interest in watching KC cruise to an easy win. But Henry is apparently back to his old ways and Vrabel as usual has his team ready. It makes this a watchable game.

Every defense in the league is built to stop the pass now. Teams with elite running offenses have an advantage. Of course for that style to be successful against an elite passing offense you have to keep pace with the other team, but if you manage that you end up minimizing total possessions and turn the game into a dogfight even against a superior opponent.

I had zero interest in watching this game once I heard Tannehill was out. Of course now I have to tune in. The NFL wins again.

Yeah Allen needs to be more willing to take the check down or short option when it is there. He has figured this out before but every few weeks he has to be reminded.

The thing with that style though is you better be really good in the red zone and make no mistakes. The Bills play an aggressive offense because big play (20+ yards) differential is one of the biggest indicators of win/loss percentage. That being said we definitely need to find a better balance. Pick up enough chunk plays on short passes and the defense will creep up.

Outside of Diggs, who is playing better this year than I've ever seen him, we got next to nothing out of our weapons today. Allen was both the primary issue on offense today AND the only reason we were able to move the ball and score. That's a big problem. Our RBs couldn't rip off big runs, we had zero screen game, no big run after the catch on a single completion. Making Davis the #3 won't increase his production necessarily but it will increase the production of the passing offense as a whole. In fact I think it's arguable he would see his own production increased because we can use him in his preferred role as a vertical only WR who takes advantage of openings created by our other weapons.

Allen obviously played his worst game of the season today, but it's a little disconcerting that we have no one on offense to step up for him. Maybe Hines can be that guy or maybe we'll actually go out and sign OBJ. QBs sometimes have below average games and their team still finds a way to win. With the Bills that NEVER happens.
