In fact I was very confident because just like with the Browns, no way a Steelers team with a 3rd string QB should come into Buffalo and win if this team was a real contender. But as I've said before, when I'm wrong I admit it and own it. And I'm not big on chest thumping or gloating either when I've been right. You were predicting victory all the way...Confidence. 11 1 Quote

My version of this is that I never exhale until the clock hits double zeroes. 11 point lead and 90 seconds left? Don't care. I'm a Bills fan. Seen this movie too many times before. When the clock hits zeroes and the coaches and players start pouring onto the field, THEN I can accept that it's a win. Never, ever before then. It's kind of crazy how much longer my celebration delay has become waiting for a flag. My wife will be celebrating a TD or big play and I'll just be stting there staring at the bug waiting to see if the little yellow 'FLAG' indicator pops up. And if I thought I was ever going to be safe - queue the game this year that a flag was thrown during the commercial break. 2 2 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I wonder if Bernard had more pain due to the extreme cold. Hopefully that was the reason for the cart. 🤞 2 Quote

The defense is much better than last year's or any defense in the Mahomes era, and the biggest difference in personnel on the offensive side is swapping Smith-Schuster for Rice, which is looking like a huge upgrade right now. Plus, Mahomes isn't playing with a high ankle sprain this time. None of this guarantees anything, but the narrative that the roster is weak isn't accurate. Hmm...all of 25 posts to your credit (under this screen name) and you're here "warning" us all about how dangerous and talented KC is... Maybe you and @FilthyBeast should go down to the gym and pump each other? 1 Quote

I'm STILL waiting for a flag on the Harty run-back in the Miami game. 1 2 Quote
balln Posted January 17 Posted January 17 19 minutes ago, FilthyBeast said: One thing that I'm very concerned about in this game, especially with all the injuries...who is going to spy Mahomes? No he's not JA17 back there, but he's killed teams over the years with his legs too especially in the playoffs and have to figure that will be a big part of the gameplan this week knowing attention will still go Kelce (and now Rice's) way. He had a few big runs against Miami last week too. Dorian. Give him zero responsibility other than heat seeking missle at patty. 19 minutes ago, SaulGoodman said: They've had their struggles with drops/penalties/turnovers at times, but this KC roster is better than last season's.

VW82 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Counting on Bernard to give us anything in this one is probably wishful thinking. Klein, Dodson, and Williams will need to get the job done somehow. Douglas and Johnson being able to go is perhaps more realistic from everything I’ve read. Bottom line is the offense needs to sustain drives and put up points for us to advance. It isn’t realistic for the defense to continue bailing us out like they did so many times this year. We’re just too banged up now. Edited January 17 by VW82 Quote

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 17 Posted January 17 56 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: In another thread someone I saw someone mention that the Raiders ran a lot of 5-2-4 at the Chiefs. At the time I thought "oh, that's a odd combo but out LB and CB core is so good that I don't think it applies" Now? Maybe it's worth a spin. I think this idea is not suited for our personnel. Bringing in 5 down lineman will help against the run but significantly impact our abilities in coverage 1 Quote

SaulGoodman Posted January 17 Posted January 17 6 minutes ago, Logic said: I'm very curious to know, if the KC roster is better than last season's on offense, why the Chiefs score 8 less points per game than they did in 2022. The defense? Sure. It's better. Absolutely. Best Mahomes has ever played with. But the offense? If the roster is better than last year's, why do they score over a touchdown less points per game? I'm not being antagonistic. I'm genuinely curious. Is it Bienemy being gone? Was he better than everyone thought? Is it Kelce being less effective this year? Going from 29 PPG to 21 PPG is a significant drop in just one season. What accounts for it? I didn't say the offense is better. Obviously it hasn't been. But the defense is vastly better. The offense has scored 7 fewer ppg, but the defense has allowed 5 fewer ppg. When you factor in sitting starters in week 18, and passing up several scoring opportunities to take a knee, it's a similar differential. Multiple games ended with a kneel at the 1. Just a more defensive-oriented team than in years past. The difference offensively has mostly been mistakes; not talent. Tons of penalties, untimely TOs, and by far the most drops in the NFL. Will these problems rear their head again on Sunday? Maybe, but the offense has been a lot less mistake-prone the last few weeks. Partly because Toney and Moore haven't been available to screw up.

For sure D is better. Would just say their young guys have developed and leveled up. SNeED is an all pro now. bolton is such a force mcduffie is all pro on top of chris jones. Karlaftis is the equivalent of AJe to me 1 Quote

mannc Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Look at the Chief’s’ defensive numbers on the road…as we found out with the Browns’ “generational defense” this weekend in Houston, it makes a big difference. 3 Quote
chongli Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 6 hours ago, Gregg said: Hyping up the Jets? The hype stopped and reality set in 4 plays into the season. The Dolphins and Chiefs I get but the Jets were dead once Rodgers went down. Yeah, but he said during the regular season at times the Bills would finish behind the Jets and maybe even New England. This was bizarre and shows a deep hatred of Buffalo. 1 Quote

Both are better pass blockers than OBJ or Wylie. That's not to say they're great. It's mostly saying that the previous tackles weren't that good. OBJ was highly overrated and Wylie was mediocre. Taylor's issue has been penalties, which is a concern. Not sure if you're aware, but the starting LT was out for several weeks until last week's game. His replacement struggled mightily at times, especially vs the Raiders. Quote
boyst Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Don't want to put all of our eggs in the basket only to have it break now and have scrambled eggs in the next game. It's a tactical level of playing smart and restrained. Gotta temper some this weekend. Go full bore next weekend. And by the super bowl adrenaline will carry whatever momentum is left. 2 Quote
Drew21PA Posted January 17 Posted January 17 The guys missing will all be back I can almost guarantee it - no source just a feeling Dotson Bernard back and healthy fine taron Johnson won’t miss benford will be rockin douglas with a huge pick poyer ir Hyde will have one too mahomes has a ROUGH day in Buffalo like Montana led chiefs did AFCCG here we come 1 1 2 Quote
