However, the Colts just gave the world a blueprint on how to beat a high powered offense like the Chiefs. Offensive guard Quenton Nelson gave a clinic on how to run block and RB Marlon Mack took full advantage of it. The Colts by controlling the clock with the run game held the ball for 37:15 vs 22:45. More like had a blueprint to destroy a bad defense that can’t stop the run and doesn’t tackle with sound techniques. Stud O lineman always help, but trying to keep a great QB and potent offense off the field is nothing new.

Wonder why the other four teams weren't able to do that? Come to think of it, I also wonder why the Chiefs made it to 12-4 last season and the AFC Championship game.

So playing keep away to make the high powered offense stay on the bench is some kind of revelation? Remember Super Bowl 25 ? It’s been going on longer than that. as for their other 4 opponents, I didn’t see the games so can’t comment. Not all OCs come up with good game plans. KC has a lot of injuries at the skill positions and OL issues too. Their defense wasn’t great last year and they lost some of their better players there. The Colts gameplan was smart, but hardly innovative.
Billzgobowlin Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I think this would have been an interesting question if the Bills ended up being the Patriots (one blocked kick away). Are they the best in the AFC if they are undefeated?

While the two defenses would keep things close , I’d still take the Pats* offense to win if they played on a neutral field 9 times out of 10 .
iinii Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Not on offense but definitely better than KC on defense. So the gap is closing and the Bills are positioning themselves nicely with the great start. Edited October 8, 2019 by iinii
Playoffs? Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 We’re finding ways to win games... which is a huge step forward from past years where we’d find ways to lose games.. however we need to start dominating and winning convincingly before we’ll belong in that upper echelon.
Orlando Buffalo Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I do not think we are there yet due to offensive deficiencies but I think out offense is ready to improve and might make us special.
