Let me guess: no injuries at all on the Chiefs' report.

Great use of Dorian Williams' speed and athletic ability, too. Mahomes' scrambling ability is underrated. Lamar has amazing speed and juking ability, and Allen is big, fast, and elusive, but Mahomes gets a lot of yards on his scrambles, even if he looks like a four-year old running around in his backyard.

I'm tuning out the media coverage about the KC game just like I did for the Baltimore game, but I'm still curious. Are the talking heads picking KC? And did most of them pick Baltimore?

I wouldn't underestimate KC. They're a different team in the playoffs, and the Bills had to play exceptionally well to beat them this year. I do think the Bills will win, but KC is going to show up. They won't be sending gifts our way like the Ravens did.

😄

Mahomes is do dependent on him you got to wonder if it's worth assigning, say, Elam to shadow him the entire game.

So good to see. I was thinking he was a weak link on the defense.

To be fair, the "refs gave them the game" meme is rampant. But of course so is "KC is inevitable" and "All they do is win."

Smart wife. Tell her she should apply for a job at ESPN.

I don't agree with this take. The Bills forced those turnovers, and they didn't just happen. And the score was as close as it was in part because of the situation, like McDermott going for three points because they were already five points up, and the offense running the clock down because they were in the lead. The Bills had this game under control from the middle of the second quarter on. They played smart, smash-mouth football and won. The Bills are the better team, QED.

Depends how you define "luck." If it's luck that Andrews drops a pass or Lamar fumbles a ball, why is it not luck that Andrew catches a ball or Lamar throws a TD? No, the Bills simply played better yesterday, which means they were the better team. We can debate the relative talent of the rosters, but that doesn't get you very far. All the questions are settled on the field, a harsh reality that Bills fans have had to live with forever. Yesterday, we were on the right side of that calculus. Let's enjoy it.

It really is.

Forgot? No. Chose not to? Yes. That's what baffles me. I'm not seeing nuance on his routes, at least not tonight. I'm seeing a free release into wide open space.

I'd like to hear a reporter, just once, ask these dozens of coordinators why they chose not to cover Kelce. I'm truly curious. Even if he's being "schemed open," why not cover him anyway and take your chance on the scary "scheme"? He just plods to an open spot, with no one within 10 yards, catches the ball and plods as long as he can. And the rest of the league is helpless to stop him. It doesn't make sense.

How can anyone watch this game and claim that either of these quarterbacks are elite? They both look no more than ordinary.
