Kansas City at Buffalo in the Divisional Round!

[zow2]

This game is going to transcend defensive injuries, extra rest, referee, etc.. 

 

Kansas City *thinks* they are prepared for the kind of noise and violence that will greet them on Sunday eve.  They aren't and I agree with Dion Dawkins on that point. 

I think the environment and the circumstances with Buffalo desperate to beat this club in the playoffs is going to carry the Bills.  It's going to overwhelm KC.

My money is that Toney plays.

God, how awesome would it be if first play of the game he lines up Offside again.

 

Honestly, based on how their RT plays, I wouldn’t be shocked if they test Hocculi and dare him to flag it early.

So the Bills and pretty much every team in the league now cheats this way. 

 

I've also noticed more teams using Cheat Motion like the Dolphins do with Tyreke

I don't want to count on it, but from what I have heard from Giants fans since the Toe-ny incident is that the whole experience has been unbelievable talent mixed with incredibly boneheaded plays.

 

People also pointed out that the only reason he was so wide open for that lateral was because he gave up on blocking for the play and was upset he didn't get the ball. So I will not be shocked if he makes a few incredible plays and also makes game changing mistakes.

Sneed has been Limited all week. So that may help a bit 

 

I like the Questionable for Bernard. If it was Doubtful I would be worried, I think they play him on a snap count.

that is shockingly accurate

Really need Taron to get cleared. 

 

That obviously allows the Bills to field Poyer-Hyde-Dane-Douglas along with Johnson. 

 

That is a good enough secondary. 

 

If Taron doesn't go then I don't think Elam bumps down and then it's Cam Lewis out there all day.

I  mean I hope. I am sure they have been in some loud stadiums before, but this will be playoffs time. I am sure Highmark is sold out and fans outside will be crazy. For reference, here are the away games they've played this year:

Jacksonville (Jags fans? please)

NY Jets (after Rodgers was knocked out)

Vikings (a little crazy fan, but mediocre team)

Broncos (during the skid)

Vegas (imported fan base)

Packers (lost)

Patriots (eliminated)

Chargers (eliminated)

 

So they have played one playoff team on the road, and that was a loss.

 

There is a case to be made that they are not road tested.

 

[Success]

The Chiefs injury report actually isn't anything to discount.  Not having Nnadi could be a big deal for our running game, and when they try to stop Allen on short yardage.

 

They also have a bunch of guys who were cleared but have things like hammy's, obliques and calf injuries.   They'll be limping around like we will.

Odds are he will. He wanted to come in and was only held out by protocol. He's been in Stage 3 (at the lowest) since Wednesday.

 

There is a chance the independent neurologists (the kind of guys who cleared Tua) say no go, but I suspect he's playing.

[JoshAllin]

If Taron isn't cleared the fix has to be in. Josh needs to will his way to a victory

With Rapp out do we use Elam, Lewis, or Hamlin when we go to the dime?  Elam has actually played more snaps than Lewis.

Is nnadi a factor at all in stopping the run?  Idk anything about the guy lol. If they try to line up Chris jones on the edge id run up the middle every time

Huchuli means Sneed and McDuffie are gonna be able to freely murder the Bills WRs all game

In the not the full Hochuli reffing crew. It’s him and others, not his normal crew.

Damn.  What did they put in Von Millers peanut butter sammich this week?

 

I'm not sure but I know everyone else can be fined money, draft picks, whatever. The NFL does not allow ref criticism.

I sort of get it. They don't want the game to look fixed and such, but we live in a time now where many are starting to question  if it's fixed anyway.

With this Coaching staff, you need their trust. 

 

Cam Lewis has been here longer. 

 

They trust him more than they do Elam.  

 

And with Elam being inactive for so much of the year, has he cross trained at anything other than boundary corner? 

 

Lewis, we know, has cross trained in the slot and 3rd safety.

One of these years they're gonna pair Mahomes with a Randy Moss type of WR and legit 2 & 3 weapons similar to that 07 Pats offense, and he's gonna cook the entire league. 

 

The play of the WRs this year (outside of Rice and Watson) has been truly pathetic. Toney seemed to drop every other pass, and always at crucial points in the game. Twice he bobbled a perfect pass directly into the hands of a DB. Moore hasn't done anything right this year. Can't run routes correctly, can't adjust or find soft spots in the zone, can't catch. MVS is either invisible, running the route incorrectly, or dropping perfect passes. 

 

Thankfully, MVS is getting fewer targets and snaps. It's up in the air as to whether Toney or Moore will be active on Sunday. I'm hoping that Moore won't be (addition by subtraction), and I'm on the fence with Toney. He can be electric, but he hasn't had his head screwed on right all season.

There’s still is a doubtful designation. They took away the probable designation.
 

So, bubble not burst. 😃
