Well, Filthy is wrong again with more troll like pessimism’s. Actually he IS right about one thing. The October game means zero when it comes to this game. Not because of Jones being out or any of the Bills who missed that contest. It’s just a new game and all that goes out the window. What he doesn’t get is that it always the case. The previous game never matters , but he kept referencing the Monday night Pats game as if it was relevant to week 16 or Saturday nights beat down.

To the coaching staff's credit they took a 3rd round rookie and have made him a fixture at RT.  That helped a lot but starting Bates seems to be the key. Or maybe sticking with Singletary as the feature back.

I think Singletary brings a contagious energy to the run game.  He has been imo the best back since he was drafted.  He gets whats there to be had and little more.  Those neg runs he squeezes out a yard or 2 have been big at keeping momentum.  The 3 to 6 yards on first or second down makes the offense darn near unstoppable.  Those Tds vs NE were kidney punches.  We do not need a 30 carry back for 150 plus yards.  His usage down the stretch has been the right balanced.  Still a pass first team but a nastiness with the run game that stresses a defense.

The Chiefs have led the league in points allowed defensively over the last half of the season. Overall rankings mean squat. Their defense is good right now.

 

They played the Broncos twice, the Raiders, the Steelers, Giants, and Green Bay without Rodgers over that time period.  Not saying their defense has been bad but just like you want to point to overall rankings meaning squat... I would say they mean more than a cherry picked half of football.  I left out the good teams they played because well... two of those three teams put up points.

I have no doubt we'll score 28-30 just showing up. The key will rest on our defense chucking Kelcie at the LOS. Having a game plan for McKinnon and keeping State Farm in the pocket. Hopefully Levi gets a little safety help with Hill.  The game will have good weather. Probably 9mph wind and temps 35-40. No excuses,  play like your family's lives depend on it.

We all knew it would come down to the Chiefs in the end. I really hate that team because of Mahomes and Kelce. It's going to come down to the wire and will be agonizing to watch. IF they do end up losing, I think I will be glad that it happened in the 2nd round instead of AFC Championship. This game is to go to the SUper Bowl because there is no way in hell Buffalo will lose to either Cinci or Titans if they pull this one off.

Good analogy.  We will be storming the beaches of Kansas City on Sunday evening!

 

X factor: bring in Marv pre-game for some Churchillian D-Day speech that will set the troops afire. Like:

 

God almighty, in a few short hours we will be in battle with the enemy. We do not join battle afraid. We do not ask favours or indulgence but ask that, if you will, use us as your instrument for the right...

Some people on here are moaning about the 6:30pm (ET) kick off time.

 

Spare a thought for us UK-based Bills fans, that is 11:30pm GMT, which means the game will finish around 2:30am Monday morning - or even later if it goes to OT, which is a definite possibility.

 

And i have to get up at 6:00am on Monday to catch the train to London for work!

Latest weather update on Sunday at kickoff. It's going to be a shootout by the two best QBs in the NFL.

Allen has come such a long way.

 

When he said "who did they think I was?" after that regular season game, it really caught my attention.  He has THAT level of confidence now - and he has really grown into that over the past few years.

 

Now, he's the guy who goes into a game knowing 100% that he can lead the team to victory, and he just executes. He wills it.

 

It's a pretty big psychological edge.  There aren't that many QB's who I would put on that level mentally.

These opportunities don't come around every year.  Gotta play like this is life or death.  A healthy Bills team, Josh Allen, great skill players, very good D, excellent coaches... They can do this.  They have to do this!

[Livinginthepast]

The Bills have to neutralize Mahomes with that TB SB defense that worked so well. Smother Kelce in coverage. I dont want to see any of that cautious, uber respectful defense from Frazier that failed so miserably last year.

Didn't they blow it badly against the Bengals in week 17 also?

I think Siran Neal makes a big impact.  His size and athletic ability should give Kelce fits.  Like last time.  Do not allow the easy 30 to 40 yard passes.  Make them make the 5 to 8 yard passes.  I think Allen plays the way he did vs NE 3 more times this year and Buffalo gets the Lombardi. Make it no doubt.  Beat NE than Mahomes than imo Burrow and beat Brady or Rodgers for it all.  Allen becomes the face of the league.

Just read that if we tie in KC the Chargers go to the AFC Title Game. This year is nuts with all these scenarios!

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously though... We're going in healthy, playing out best ball, and confident. Love that Singletary is rolling right now, and pretty fresh for the stretch run!
