I got beat up so much over my take that Harty and Sherfield are not an upgrade from McK, Crowder and whoever. Many said we have the best WR room in the league. That Kincaid was going to be running seams all day long. 

I never understood the Harty and especially Sherfield hype.

 

Harty is 5’6” without Tyreek Hill wheels. Media was trying to hype him up all summer with his 2021 numbers.

 

And Sherfield is a career journeyman on a 1-year deal. 

The Bills turned over the bottom 3 in the room (McKenzie, Crowder, Kumerow), but they’re only better because Shakir has stepped into the #3 role.

Tranquil will probably clear concussion protocol and Bolton will probably be back this game as well. I think KC’s defense will show up after that sloppy game at GB. We’ll see. 

 

Not so sure about Tranquil but Bolton practiced a bit last week and I think he will be in good shape to play. 

 

The Packers game was SUPER physical so I think the Chiefs could have quite a few injuries at practice this week.

I think we will run it all over them. Mix in some Josh/Kincaid/Diggs. It's on and we bringin it. GO BILLS.

 

This appears to be the way to attack the Chiefs defense. Pound them with the run game and then play action them to death over and over. 

 

The secondary is good so Bills need to avoid 3rd and long. I expect the Bills to get to 30 unless they have a lot of trouble staying on schedule or the Chiefs are stopping the run.

The thing that gives me some hope this week, is that greenbays defense isn't that good and they held kc to 19 points. Granted 19 points might be enough to beat the bills, but assuming the offense keeps rolling, we might be ok 

 

Something to keep in mind about that game was both teams only had 7 possessions so 19 points wasn't a terrible total. The Chiefs offense has looked above average the past two games. 

 

The defense may be trending in the wrong direction. Giving up 27 points on 7 possesions is not good at all.

Harty: I watcha lot of Saints games, and I liked (not loved) the signing at the time. But Harty looks slower this year, and seems to have no synch with Allen. He’s been pretty good on punt returns, but pretty much a dud at WR. As ineffective as McKenzie was last year, it’s disappointing that Harty hasn’t been an upgrade. 

 

Sherfield: I never understood the hype either. With that said, I think it was a significant upgrade over Kumerow in the “backup WR/core special teamer” spot. Which is nice, but doesn’t particularly move the needle on offense.

If the Bills can get to 30 they’re winning for sure. I’ll be playing a teaser with Bills and under. I’m predicting neither team can get to 30 in a 1 score game.

I expect the Chiefs to be fired up and play hard after the loss to Green Bay.

I expect the Chiefs defense under Steve Spagnuolo -- despite reports of their demise -- to give the Bills offense everything it can handle. The Chiefs play the exact type of defense that seems to give Josh trouble at times.

Despite everything I just said, I irrationally expect a Bills victory on Sunday.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the Bills are simply done.

 

They are so UN-CLUTCH in close games and that won't cut it this time of year.

 

Do we think NOW they will all of a sudden become clutch in these close games?

 

If this game is close, do you really think that McDermott can out coach Reid?

 

I FULLY expect the Bills to finish at a VERY disappointing 8-9, with a very murky future. 

 

Again, I hope I'm WAY wrong.

They just said on NFL Live Chiefs very vulnerable to play action. Packers exploited this. 

Chiefs have been vulnerable because they aren't putting up points like they used to.

 

They are relying on the offense to outscore the other team (which they cant anymore with only Kelce as the only dependable pass catcher) and then hoping the defense can bail them out when it's crunch time.  Sound familiar?

If we hold KC to 19 or under and still lose, we deserve to have our season shut down right there.

What I heard is that the Packers were effective against the Chiefs D by using a lot of play action and misdirection plays, which slowed down their pass rush (specifically, Chris Jones).

 

They'll be looking for it this week.

Anyone know who is officiating the game this week?

Sal said Carl Ceffers crew.

 

Bills game to my memory he has done is:

AFC championship game between KC and Bills

Following years regular season Bills vs chiefs game, for a nice roughing the passer call that helped Bills maintain a scoring drive.

 Also Bills Cincy playoff game last year.

 

Decent ref, should be ok.
