26CornerBlitz Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Chiefs’ Alex Smith at his best of late He was a cast off in San Francisco, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid believed he could win with Alex Smith and if the veteran QB continues playing the way he has of late Kansas City will stay right in the AFC playoff race.The Chiefs come into Buffalo hot this weekend, winners of their last three in a row and five of their last six. They’re also 3-0 against the AFC East this season. Their offense has been remarkably efficient this season and Smith is a big reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams 5-3, the winner takes a huge step towards a playoff spot while the loser falls, essentially, two games behind the other in the wild card standings due to the head-to-head victory. The Chiefs come in on a roll. They’ve won three in a row. However, there are some areas they can be and have been exploited through those eight games. Here are some things I’ve seen on film and what the numbers say: Edited November 8, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Defending home field has to be better The Bills have talked a lot amongst themselves about defending their home field. In the first half of the season they were a pedestrian 2-2 at home and 1-2 against AFC clubs. With four home games left on the schedule, three of which are against AFC teams including Kansas City Sunday, Buffalo’s players and coaches know home field must become a bigger advantage in the second half of the season.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Why doesn't A Smith throw deep? Just read the Capaccio article Reid is a "Chief" proponent of the WCO and their passing offense with Smith as the triggerman is primarily predicated on short to intermediate precision passing to advance the football.

That was a turrible joke : )But its extreme statistically isnt it ? Sal's thoughts seemed to lean to , dont even worry about the deep ball. I know Jim S knows better. But should the Bills play a press coverage to disrupt routes and rely on some pressure ? Or do they keep the plays underneath and just make the solid tackle ? The game may be about incurring the least mistakes for both sides , and one or two big plays may make the game Edited November 9, 2014 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they keep the plays underneath and just make the solid tackle ? The game may be about incurring the least mistakes for both sides , and one or two big plays may make the game I'd prefer they utilize the press technique to disrupt the timing of the routes and force Smith to hold the ball just a little longer. Rely on quick pressure to get to Smith and if they don't get home have the DL keep their hands up for batted balls. None of their receivers are accomplished enough deep threats to be overly worried about getting beat deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rely on quick pressure to get to Smith and if they don't get home have the DL keep their hands up for batted balls. None of their receivers are accomplished enough deep threats to be overly worried about getting beat deep. There is my answer. I have thought that "hands up" should be a state of mind. But as most of us know thats the last move a D lineman might make or the last resort . With penetrating DTs like ours , You lose the pressure , the block and also take a chance of a decent punch in the gut ! Dontari Poe wil be getting his hands up if Eric doesnt hold them down as taught , i would guess But this is one of those game the D line and LBs need to mess with Smiths vision on the short passes.
