Offensively, we need the usual suspects to show up. Allen, Cook, Kincaid, Knox, and Shakir. I hope Chief Killer Gabe Davis gets a couple long targets as well. Turnovers need to be at a minimum. In a close game I think they will be the difference. Mahomes is definitely good for an interception. Offense needs to capitalize on it. Defensively, the Chiefs are going to get their points. We know that. I feel like if the Bills hold them under 25, they have a very good chance of winning. This unit is horrific against the run, if Pacheco gets going then it’s over. They need to keep KC as one dimensional as possible. Establishing an early lead will work wonders for the DEs. Bernard, Bosa will shine. I want to see a good follow up performance from Hoecht as well.

I feel like the best outcome for Coleman at this point is a red zone specialist. I don’t think he will ever be a good enough route runner to be an every down WR let alone Allen’s top target. I rewatched a ton of all-22 and Keon’s routes are sloppy & rounded. Reminds me so much of Gabe Davis. Makes you appreciate top tier route runners like Diggs or Beasley. He just doesn’t have the talent. Beane took a shot and whiffed miserably.

SEVEN UB alumni are currently in the NFL, 3 of which are on the Bills. Very impressive.

What are the odds that 2 UB players set NCAA forced fumble record ? That’s actually pretty crazy

One dimensional ? Give me a break.

James Cook and the #1 rushing atttack say hello.

Bosa also had 4 FF and 7 QB hits to go along with those 3 sacks. Most of all he is the healthy one out of a sea of injuries. Who would have thought? Those are good numbers for a rotational pass rusher. He has been a pleasant surprise IMO

Miami could resurrect the corpse of Don Shula and still get massacred by Josh Allen. It’s almost 2nd nature.

Every single good team has games like these. That’s why it’s the NFL and elite teams don’t go 17-0 every season. 2007 Giants lost 4 straight home games.

The False starts have been atrocious the past few years. Especially when Philly started doing their thing. Not even one player, but multiple they let jump off the line a split second early. That’s a grossly unfair advantage.

They played a phenomenal game against the Panthers. A team with a winning record and VERY good RB despite Andy Dalton. That’s a start. Where is the optimism?

This is the 2025 Bills. Think about what’s changed in 4 years, it’s almost a different team especially the offensive line who is no longer a finesse unit. You can argue that we also have the best back in the league. I mean he averages the most yards per carry. Buffalo is primed to go deep in the playoffs because of their physicality. They lacked that before. IMO

Why are you skeptical? Do people think Josh has forgot how to be an elite passer? He won an MVP with less talent last year. His first 2 years in the league he had it even worse. Now he has an elite running game to lean on which will make the downs & distances even more manageable.

People HATE this offense now and it’s understandable because it seems somewhat backwards when you have Josh Allen as your QB. The logical thing would be to maximize possessions. But I think during the inevitable KC playoff game, McDermott isn’t going to try and out-offense them this time (definition of insanity, right?) I think the Bills are going to try something new and keep the ball out of Mahomes hands via James Cook. Maybe we will get a glimpse of that during this game.

You think the current AFC QB crop is better than Kelly, Elway, Marino, Moon ? I’m not so sure. This is before my time, but AFC QBs seem pretty damn weak to me considering Daniel Jones is running the conference.

You don’t have 245 total yard rushing without it being a team effort. Don’t blink now, but the Bills are quietly the #1 running attack in the NFL! Who would’ve thought that going into week 9?

We have been so lucky with Allen *knock on wood, sign of the cross* health wise. Compare that to the Ravens and Bengals or virtually any team with significant QB injuries. Durability always needs to be taken into account when summing up the value of a player. Would you rather have Joe Burrow or Jared Goff? At this point, I am picking Goff bc I know he’s going to be there suited up on Sunday. Edit: just an example, I am making a point.

The Ravens on opening weekend at full health is a solid win.

It’s insane to me that he has over 70 rushing TDs. Who would’ve thought this about Josh Allen coming out of college that he would be such a force on ground and specifically red zone. I can’t wait until he breaks Cam Newtons record

Bills win it in an overtime thriller 33-27

Kelce is ol’ reliable. Mahomes has had him his entire career and will keep throwing to him until his legs fall off. There will never not be a point where he doesn’t produce. Look at Gronk when he went to TB to join Brady. Clearly washed, but coasted on his elite chemistry w/ his long time QB. I kind of see the same thing w/ Kelce. He’s clearly lost a step, but he knows his QB’s tendencies so well that he will always have a strong role in that offense.

Who the FOOK is that guy? *Conor MacGregor voice*

Debatable. Kelce has had a bit of a resurgence.

Gabe Davis was a fixture in this offense for years though. What happened?
