The template against the Chiefs

[Wizard]

First, let's rip apart the Steel Curtain on Monday. Then, let's cook the Chefs. 🙂

 

For those that know the intricacies and nuisances of schemes and attacking a team's weakness, what is the template for the Chiefs?

 

I don't like them having two extra days of recovery and two more days of Coach Reid game planning.

 

We are the better team, but until they're knocked out, they are the Champs.

 

For me, the two biggest factors:

 

1.  1 turnover or less

2.  Control the Clock

 

 

 

[GoBills!]

Mahomes didn’t look good in the red zone when it was man to man with pressure. I was shocked how many fields goals they had to settle for. 
 

Also the whole team drops passes worse than anyone one of our guys even Knox. 

[Locomark]

1) play with a lead

2) spy Mahomes a lot 

3) don’t blitz every pass play and play cover 1 or 0 like the Miami stooges do 

4) beat them in special teams— it seems like they always find 1 or 2 big plays out of their special teams in the playoffs 

[SCBills]

It’s not that deep .. we’re better than them.  Go out there and prove it. 
 

1) Allen, limit the nonsense 

 

2) McDermott, show us why you took over the defense

Score 21 points. Sounds simple but every team that has scored 21 has beaten  the Chiefs this year. Cheifs are 2-6 in games where the opponent has scored 20 points. 0-4 in games where teams have scored 21 on them

[Warcodered]

Have a plan for blitzes.

[Buffalo03]

Get past the Steelers first

[Gman10]

How are ya'll feeling about playing KC if we beat the Steelers?

[Special K]

A healthy Rasul Douglas is a key component to victory, IMO.

Just force Taylor to have to sit next to a shirtless Fitzmagic...Bills victory

A lot of that was the cold today.  The ball is larger and very hard.  Difficult to catch.

[Freak-O]

Just keep an eye on Kelce.

They're going to have to game plan for both the Bills and Texans. They won't know their opponent until Monday night.

[Richard Noggin]

The Bills offense's ability to operate against KC's tight man coverage and various pressure looks is so essential. If the Bills can avoid early offensive struggles, they can control this contest.

 

Of course, defensively stopping the Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire combo and keeping eyes AND HANDS on Kelce is important, but I believe Josh and Co. have a chance to outpace an inconsistent Chiefs offense and alter the calculus of this matchup.

Are we really the better team? I think it's pretty close.

KC dominated the Dolphins. It was really never in doubt after half time.

 

Their defense is really good. 

 

On offense they have an emerging WR and Kelce still is dangerous but seems to have lost a little. Pacheco runs hard. 

 

Yes the Chiefs definitely struggled in the red zone. 

 

If the Bills and Chiefs meet up next week it's gonna be a dog fight. Slight edge to the Bills due to being at home. Basically, flip a coin

You gotta get pressure on Mahomes with your front four. He just kills the blitz.

What makes you think we are better than them? Seriously, no joking here.

I love it!  We get to end Kermit's season, after that MVP-2 and hopefully give Boomer the Bills-San Fran Super Bowl he always wished for.  Also Josh gets to beat his favorite team growing up as icing on that cake.

I don't think it works that way. 

 

I'm not convinced that 21 points gets it done if the weather is decent.

I'd feel bad for Kelce.

I feel good. It's a more than  winnable at home. Either way it sounds be a close competitive game.
