Week 5: Bills at Chiefs on SNF

[RyanC883]

Anyone else worried about Josh Gordon.  I know, he's 30, been out of the league, etc.  I can't find the link, but apparently KC is going to activate him and he's "looked like a top #1 WR" during practice.

NFL Defensive totals (TEAM).

Kansas City
SCORING: 31st (31.3 ppg)

YARDS: 31st (437.8 ypg allowed) 

PASSING: 27th (291.8 allowed)

RUSHING: 28th (146.0 allowed)

TURNOVERS: 26th (-3) 

 

At this point, their defense is suspect at best.

I think we should come out running the ball on KC.  Establish that, then unleash Josh.  Calm Josh down, that OL looked much better, and I like having Singletary/Moss involved early.  Seems to get everyone going, opens stuff up.  

 

Sanders is a game changer for us v. Brown last year, so that's a positive on offense.  So is Knox's improvement.  

 

Unclear how our D plays, first top offense it's faced.  Hopefully the D line is ready to rumble.

What I found most discouraging about the loss last year was that we couldn't move the ball against their decent defense. I expected them to put up points, I didn't expect for our offense to be so bad. 

the Bills had no running game 

 

longer sustained drives with balance

Agree across the board.

One thing that has been missing from our offense for a while are Allen scrambles.  I'm not talking designed runs, but rather him just pulling the ball down and taking off.  Obviously, I would rather him keep his eyes downfield and look to make big plays, but there are a few times in each game, especially on 3rd downs and in short yardage situations where there are lanes available for him to take off, potentially get a first down, but sometimes he tries forcing passes.  Some he completes, some he doesn't.  I am a big proponent of keeping the chains moving as much as possible because it gives us more opportunities to hit big plays.

 

He used to do it a lot, and I don't need him to do it at that level he used to because he is better throwing the ball than he used to be, but one thing it did was keep defenses honest and force them to pay attention to it.  I think if he got back to doing it 3 or 4 times a game, it really help our offense.

With a loss, there's hope that we'll get 'em again in the playoffs. With a win, there's fear they'll avenge it in the playoffs. I think we should be able to have peace either way, but damn do I want a win. Could really make the Bills the clear frontrunner for the #1 seed and Allen the frontrunner for MVP.

[MAJBobby]

I agree with Above.

 

Put Tre on Kelce

Double Hill

 

Pressure Mahomes. and Be efficient on Offense I think we win this.  Not ready for my predictions yet.  But I think this is going to be a Fun Game

Can we put Tre White on Kelce all day, and double team HIll.  

wouldn't you put White on Hill?

[Dr. K]

If I'm not mistaken, except for Mahomes throwing an interception at the start of the second half (and them kneeling to run out the clock at the end of the game), the Chiefs scored touchdowns on every possession they had yesterday.

 

For that matter the Eagles did not punt in the game either.

KC is wounded (a 2-2 record) and desperately in need of a win, especially against a team who's contending for the #1 seed. They'll be a formidable, and quite dangerous, opponent. Everyone at OBD knows this.

Anyone playing against that defense is gonna look like a top WR.

KC is still a dangerous team and in my opinion the biggest threat in the AFC. KC is 2-2 while not tragic not exactly the record you expect from a contending team. But their two losses were both in close games to a very good Ravens team and a good Chargers team. That's not exactly a bad resume of losses. In my opinion if the Bills want to get the lone bye week in the AFC (which is such a huge advantage) they need to win this game. It would bury KC effectively 3 games behind the Bills as they would be 2 games back in the loss column and lose the tie breaker. Mentally I think beating KC would also be a very advantageous for the Bills. With an away game in KC we will know exactly where the Bills stand in terms of how good they are. They have beaten up on 3 bad to average teams. Let's see exactly how they handle a true contender on the road.

i get your point... but the titans were missing both their wr's. and they just so happened to be 2 of their most important players. context.

Context .. Pittsburgh beat Buffalo. Heck one year the Bills beat the Pats 31-0 back in the drought years. Crazy losses happen. If the Bills win it would not be "expected" but to make it like we have no chance is not  a logical stance. At present I put it at 35-40% chance the Bills win.

[ColoradoBills]

Well the way I see this game is this.

 

It's an October game not a January game.  It's not the end of the world for either team who suffers a loss.

Last year was last year and this year is this year.  If the Buffalo Bills let them get into their heads too much (like it is for a lot of fans) they will lose.

I think the Bills on the road will help their emotions and keep them focused versus a home game.

 

Daboll, Josh and the offense have to take what they are given to start the game and adjust accordingly.  If that happens they can score

enough points to win.  The longer they are on the field the less Mahomes and their O is on.

 

Frazier and the D are going to give up points and probably a lot of them.  They just got to find a way to stop them when they can.

 

Special Teams can turn this game for either team when it comes down to it.

 

Once again it's a game in October.  Hope the Bills play their game against the Chiefs and not the other way around.  Just do that and let the 

chips fall where they will.

 

Go Bills!

Thoughts:

 

KC will score at least 20 points. I dont think our D will look even close to what we are used to right now. I think it will be better than what we saw in last years two games though.

 

So if KC gets to 24 points its all on the offense. If we get the good Josh and can protect we win this one 38-24. If we get the no so good version its a long night and we lose 24-16.

I don’t care what it looks like…find a way to get this win and advance the season. Keep playing good defense and get 26 going early. Don’t get caught up on trying to prove anything or making any statement. Find a way to score 1 more point then this team.
