Well I know as much but still. At least make an honest attempt when trolling.  He's mailing it in at this point.  It's kind of embarrassing. 

Are you serious? Good grief. Let's see what happens in the game.

You guys are insufferable. The KC defense played well against us 2x last year, and they'll be on high alert for this game too. It's a big game. I expect them to have a great game plan and play well. See my full game prediction. I am not trolling. God, this is so frustrating.

 

It's a matchup league, a gameplan league, a week-to-week league, a big-game league. You can't just look at stats and expect them to hold. Do you actually watch football???

 

& I hope the Bills crush them and you call me out and troll me afterwards. I want nothing more than to be wrong and celebrate a massive win

 

No one called me a troll when I said the Bills would beat the Texans 41-3. I always call it like I see it. Any time that's not good for the Bills, I'm suddenly a troll. Sick of this.

Beasley, Sanders & Diggs all had 2 days of rest during the week, so McDermott made sure they will have fresh legs.

 

That’s a big + over the damaged receiver corps we had in the playoffs.

 

Good game.  

We win.

All this talk about their D but in my opinion it’s our D that gotta step up. They got manhandled in both games last year. Both units struggled against this team but I think it’s more important that our D has a good game.  

If the Bills win it will because Allen and the offense carved the KC defense. The Bills defense is important but at best they can just contain Mahomes. This defense with the front four cannot generate enough of a consistent pass rush to disrupt and stop KC. Also, the Bills have no answer or player to stop Kelce.  A hobbled Milano will get torched. Tyreke is as dangerous as ever especially if they over compensate for Kelce. CEH seems to be playing much better. Screen passes seem to be effective against the Bills. Look at the Wash game for evidence. As mentioned before, the Bills defense has faced the bottom of NFL offenses. The KC offense should be able to move the ball and score. Reid has outcoached the Bills staff by a country mile. His team will have the answers vs the Bills defense. Perhaps the pouring rain can assist the defense.

 

On the other hand, a sharp Allen with Diggs, newly acquired Sanders, Beasley, and now Knox presents an immense problem for the Chiefs. A serviceable running game and a great Daboll play calling should lead to a highly effective offensive scoring output.

 

The Bills have been great at getting turnovers. Hoping the defense can get a few and put the offense in great positions to score. 

 

Getting a win in Arrowhead is no easy task. I believe the Bills team will be ready. They should be mentally tough and experienced for this prime time game. I don't think the moment is too big. Josh has to come out of the gate much better than the previous games. 

 

Sorry for the ramble.

Says the guy that expects arguably the worst d in football to just randomly completely turn it around against the 2nd highest scoring team in the league. 
 

Who actually hasn’t been watching????

Like I said, we'll see what happens. I just don't want you guys to never see it coming if it doesn't go well.

That sure is nice of you. I can't believe more people don't get that you're not a wet blanket because you want to be, you're a wet blanket because you care. 🙄

Its pretty easy for the 32nd ranked D to perform better than last. Its much harder for the #2 scoring team to improve much more.

Yep you are right...

While we are at it I suppose Denver, Carolina and all 3-1 teams are better than KC...

 

Stupid.

Yep, that was exactly my point.  I’m assuming you can pick up that sarcasm?  My point is that the chiefs (2-2 with the 31st ranked defense) might not be the unstoppable team that some people are making them out to be. Is that clear enough for you?

Sorry I didn't pick that up.

If only their was some universal sign for sarcasm /s

I find it interesting that people don't understand the influence small numbers have on percentage gains. If .02 goes to .5, that's a 2,400% increase!  It's still a really small number.  I read an article that noted that the sale of non-alcoholic "cocktails" has increased at a greater percentage than alcoholic cocktails last year. Duh. It really wasn't even a category not too long ago. 

 

And yes, it's easier to get better when you are the bottom because slight increases mean something at that level.  

 

Actually I expect KC's defense to improve over the course of the season. And it could get better against the Bills. Wouldn't surprise me. But the Bills O can definately play better than they have so far this year. So it will be interesting to be sure. The Bills definately have the talent to kick KC's butt. But until it happens there will always be doubters.

 

[Scott7975]

Cynthia Frelund's ( may have spelled that wrong ) model predicts the Bills win 28-27 at 51% odds. 55% odds the Bills cover.  Not that it means much just felt like sharing.

 

Edit:  Just looked up her prediction model record and its 43-19 this season so far.  Not too shabby.  Last season 177-83-1

Love these types of breakdowns.  Helps my football stupidity.

[MasterStrategist]

All I have to say, is Coach and team better bring the aggressiveness. 

 

Well discussed after last year's losses, but we need to be aggressive on offense going for it on 4th down and not settling for FGs.

 

On defense, I don't trust our front 4 to deliver consistent/ reliable pressure.  Inconsistent production and KCs OL is much improved and playing solid.  I'd rather we dial up some blitzes and try to force negative plays.  We need a few stops/Fg instead of TD moments, and I can live with giving up chunk plays at times.  Mahomes and KC offense is going to put up points regardless, I'd rather not have death by a thousand paper cuts.

 

Our redzone offense/defense is likely going to decide this game.  Nervous because our offense has been inconsistent this yr, after doing so well last season.  I think Daboll needs to get McKenzie back involved inside the 20, and go back to using the jet sweeps RPos etc.

 

Standings-wise, big game for playoff seeding down the road of course. But this is one of those moments where it's time to beat big brother and this could propel our confidence for a big run this season.

 

Go Bills!

[LABILLBACKER]

The only time their defense held anyone in the last 6 games was when their dbs were allowed to hold our wrs all night. We'll see if this crew allows that crap?
