Easy for you to say. 

Yes, 3.6 yards per carry and longest run of 15 yards is downright scary. 

 

Yet - in 6 games, he has 2 over 100 yards (3 if you count total yards), and 5 TDs and is a good receiver out of the backfield.  His lower ypc has been a bit due to their WR issues and injuries in the passing game. Still on pace for 1250 yards and 14 TDs.  He is 7th in rushing yards over the 6 game stretch since KC signed him, and that was coming in during the season off the couch too.  

 

If you don't think Hunt poses a threat this week against our bottom of the league run defense, well thats fine, but you would be wrong.

Our run d is bad yes but if you are nervous about 3.6 yards per carry youre never gonna get any sleep.  Let them run him and not have Mahomes pass on first down.  Im here for it.  Also it would be interesting to see if he could keep even this pace.  10 more carries and thats his highest workload in 5 years.

How nauseating. According to this crew, if the Chiefs win, it's because they own the Bills. If the Bills win, KC doesn't care because "it's their Super Bowl" and KC will win when it matters. No analysis, no data, patterns, insider information... just chest beating. You get a sense it's all compensating. 

It’s just not that big of a game for the Bills. Buffalo has beaten them 3 straight years In the regular season. I want to see the Bills win, but honestly of any game left, I will find the bright side pretty easily and fast if our guys lose.

I didn't say I was nervous...I said some of you are underestimating Hunt and what he is to that team.  He has gone over 100 total yards in 3 of his 6 games and has 5 TD's...and that was before their passing game found some life with Hopkins.

Hes a guy they are gonna squeeze every ounce of before Pacheco comes back.  Look at his game logs.  Hes slowing down.  less than 3 yards per carry in 2 of his last 3 (this is after their passing game found life with Hopkins).  Also only 2 broken tackles in his last 3 games too (will concede this is all small sample size discussion) versus 5 in his first 3 games.  hes their short yardage back based on success rate.  They are using him heavily but not necessarily efficiently.  Someone said Hunt was a top 5 back in the NFL since joining the Chiefs.  Thats ludicrous.

Close, close game.  I think the backs and style of offense match up vs KC.  Buffalo does just enough 24-19.  Field goal late seals it.

Any RB is a threat for the Bills this year. My point is he's no Henry or Taylor. He's not even James Cook. He's a reasonable starting RB in the NFL, nothing more.

Good to see him catching passes. I believe the last time the media saw him at practice he was just working off to the side not catching anything.

looks like he's running about the same speed as coleman...😛

I think hes below average and getting worse, but i also think that still is a threat against our run defense.  🙃

Tiny Tim would be a threat against the Bills' D

He has started out great but they’re overusing him. He was really slow this past game. Without Pacheco I don’t think he’ll do much against the Bills this Sunday. 

[MikePJ76]

From listening to Buffalo plus this morning and WGR on and off throughout the day apparently the talking point of the day is Allen is struggling and doesn't look like himself and Dalton Kincaid is a JAG who does nothing to help the team.

 

Pretty absurd takes.  But hey I guess there isn't much to talk about this week.

To be fair, I didn't watch the game this past week.  Although it was still a divisional game against a pretty solid defense.  

 

Hey, I hope we shut him down.  I was just saying I don't think its wise to underestimate Hunt this week as we have not been good at stopping the run or defending short passes/screens either.  And one thing we know is that KC has been effective against us at attacking our weak spots in the past.

You can't compare anything the Broncos did vs the chiefs to what it will happen sunday.  They are polar opposites defensively.  

 

Maybe the Bills will steal something denver did on a third down or something sunday but generally Denvers defense kept them on their heels.  Buffalo can not do that.

[Brand J]

Not looking forward to the Bills defense sitting back in a soft shell cover 2 and allowing Mahomes to dink and dunk his way down the field. Challenge their receivers! Bring heat every once in a while and get him on the ground.

This made me realize, how can Denver manage to be involved in two ridiculous kicking situations in back to back years right around the same time of year.

On Kincaid - I concluded last year that he is a possession Tight End. You could see that he has average speed, below average play strength, and above average feel for zone.

 

So yes, while Joe Marino highlights some plays if Allen would have held the ball a beat longer Kincaid uncovered down the seam, or Allen hits Kincaid in stride, it doesn’t change the trajectory of his career.

 

He isn’t big enough, or fast enough to be an athletic down the field mismatch. 
 

Two Bills coordinators have gotten a good look at Kincaid now and he’s been a short yardage specialist in both systems, catch and run. Good hands, slippery after the catch, limited top end speed, limited presence on the field.

The Chiefs had a great play call to block the kick.  We had 12 men on the field.  I think McDermott's gotten better at situation coaching but there's still some head scratching moments.
