Weather determines the outcome. Bills can't run behind that O line, whether Fred is back or not. Chiefs run run run and can't pass. On a snowy field, advantage Chiefs since our D line won't get traction. Dry field, Bills.

 

Except that this game is being played in early November, not December. Don't expect a snowy field for this one.

@ChrisTrapasso: Alex Smith's average depth of target in Sunday's win over the Rams was just 2.2 yards. Next lowest was Matt Ryan at 5.2 yards. (per @PFF)

When you have Jammin Charles, you can get away with that pathetic stat.

 

Ok what favors us more? A win or loss by Kc this weekend?

 

What do you guys think?

A KC loss. I don't really buy into whether they will be more motivated to beat BUF if they win or lose, etc. We need them to drop games as they are a PO contender. Edited by YoloinOhio

I hope the Jets injure every one of their players - dont feel bad about saying it either....ill take a win against a limping team just as much as ill take one against a fully healthy playoff contender....

 

the ONLY thing that matters is throwing up those W's

 

as stated repeatedly throughout the thread....like last week this game will be won in the trenches, if we can plug gaps/holes and stop Charles, and we can pound the rock....we should win, if not, we will need to count on miracles (which we MIGHT be running out of our share by now)

Offensively, KC is a little like the Jets in that they rely on their run game, which includes the QB. Obviously KC's Smith rarely turns the ball over, but also relies more on a short passing game. Stop the run, which includes containing the QB, let your CB man up the outside, and then your safeties focus on helping cover the underneath stuff.

 

KC's D is much tougher this year, especially against the pass. The Bills have to fix the run game to win this game because KC will sit back in cover 2. Maybe best option will be to get it to WRs (sammy) quick and see if they can make a play.

just read that Chiefs' DC has been around the block - including a few years with the Jets, where he picked up Rex Ryan's version of the 1 gap/3-4. after coming to KC last season, he modified Romeo Crennel's 2 gap version and has successfully integrated his now healthy LBs into an aggressive D that likes to mix things up - including a creative defensive equivalent of an unbalanced line which could rattle our O-line, if they're not prepared for it.

 

much like last week, we shouldn't expect much success running inside/outside zone against another D hell-bent on getting penetration.. but if we're prepared to find the voids they leave, we could attack the areas of the field they're willing to sacrifice in order to be disruptive.

Sure. How many sacks did we give up? Is that a normal number to you? Should we plan on miracle wins and Geno Smith at QB every week?

 

Geno Smith isn't on the Lions, Dolphins, or Vikings. We've beaten 4 teams that are top 5 in the league in sacks. KC is no different than any of them. They have a strong run game(Miami), a weak passing game(Jets), an average run defense(Vikings), and a good pass defense(Dolphins/Vikings/Lions).

 

KC shouldn't pose any more difficulty than those games. They're certainly not going to show our Oline a defense with talents it hasn't seen before. If Orton can complete passes against the Jets' Dline than he can do it against an inferior Chiefs'. And Jamaal Charles? We've already faced the #2 ranked, #4 ranked, and #9 ranked rushing yards RBs this season. Charles is ranked 19th and has only been averaging 12 carries a game. Not super worried about him.

 

The Chiefs are not just beatable, they're whoopable in Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Charles in phenomenal. Since he returned from his ankle injury (last 4 games) he's gaining over a hundred yards per game (run/reception) with 5 yards per carry and 17 carries per game. There's no doubt he's a top 5 RB, and he's been looking great. I wouldn't be so fast to write him off.

The Chiefs are playing pretty well right now. They ran the ball very well against the Chargers in SD. They are also pretty good on D and can get after the qb. The Bills need to play a smart game and hopefully Hackett will be more aggressive.

I don't put much stock in division rivalry games. Of the last 7 games they've played against one another, 5 have been decided by a FG.
