The tricky part is, the NFL IS entertainment. While the NFL wants to maintain the integrity of the sport, they have to balance the "watchability" of the product. If they called penalties on every play (because on judgement calls there probably could be a holding call on every play) it would be unbearable to sit through a game. The hard part is that, if you have players that routinely bend the rules, you just have to hope that if/when the refs get around to calling it, they don't do it on a "key" play. It's kind of playing with fire, but seems to have been working for the Chiefs and other teams over the years (Seattle's secondary during their SB years)

Yeah very true.on holding and such, I get it. That would stall the game.  I suppose it's the one dude repeat offender getting away with it thing that doesn't sit well with optics. Like sauce getting away with holding and DPIs on he way to become the rookie of the year and such. Now he's known as the leagues premier corner since the narrative is out and established. Such a frustrating topic because you want to believe that aside from human error, the refs are doing the best they can rather than saying "ohh well well This slide all game long for pretty much 2 seasons now maybe more. If KC and their fans don't want everyone joking about refs in their pockets, then clean this up.

Exactly. Now with the PSL's, the investment in season tickets is greater and the likelihood of season ticket holders selling to visiting fans is only gonna increase.

 

Bills used to sell extra tickets to fan groups but Bills started making deals to ticket agencies and travel agencies.  To get more tickets they stopped allowing individual season tickets outside of WNY area allowing grandfathered fans keep season tickets.   The Bills are depending upon these agencies to buy any PSLs not sold.

This is where the game is susceptible to corruption. A biased ref know he has to tip the scale on just one or two plays to radically change the outcome of a game. The NFL must know that. So what safeguards are they taking? Has anyone heard of, say, bans against refs betting on games, directly indirectly? If so, has any ref been sanctioned for betting? A few scalps would go a long way to restoring public confidence in the fairness of the game. Quite apart from the evidence of bias, it just stands to reason that at least some refs would be corrupt, especially now that gambling is legal and people have huge amounts invested in the outcome of games.

I dunno.

Many Bills fans are violent and somewhat mentally unstable Italian-Americans who consider each other "family".

If the shoe fits...

"Stupid Andy Reid"? How many years have you been coaching an NFL team? Andy's on 26. I don't think it's because he's stupid, and I don't believe any other coach in the league would agree with you. My guess is you'd love to have him.

wow now people's first posts here are attacking me.  Great.

 

and to answer the question there is no scenario where I would ever want andy reid coaching the team I root for.  I do not like him or any of his GB pals. Never Will.

This game is weird. It's important for seeding but really won't be a reflection of what might happen in the playoffs. 

 

That being said the chiefs have won back to back championships and have won 15 in a row. They have only allowed more than 27 points once in their past 36 games if I'm not mistaken....

 

So if buffalo does win and wins big ( which I predict) the media will have a hard time dismissing the bills greatness, Allen's status and greatness, and Allen should be the clear MVP favorite. 

 

Buffalo 38

KC 13.

 

Buffalo is the best team in the NFL imo and that will be proven Sunday

That makes sense because there are so many Italian cheeses

It wouldn't make sense for McDermott to unveil anything in this game if he wants to maintain the advantage of secrecy in the playoffs. The Bills should be biting the bullet and playing vanilla in this one.

 

 

Again, this is not a win-at-all costs game. A loss by either team is unlikely to have much impact on their playoff seedings.

 

And how great would it be for the Bills to be shorthanded for this game and still win with a no-frills game plan?

 

I don’t know that they could unveil everything if that wanted to.  Coleman and Kincaid are both out already, and who knows how healthy Cooper will really be too.  They could pull out things with the personnel they’re going to have for Sunday, yet still have some tricks in the bag for a playoff matchup too.

Wgr caller. I can’t do it justice. She said the Bills need to turn their season around (they’re 8-2)

It is a little late to turn it around to be 2-8 but most WGR callers are no Einsteins (which is good).

Why would the Bills prioritize players being healthy for the 49ers game over the Chiefs game?

 

Extra rest... the game in two weeks is inconsquential. It's the TIME involved... nobody wants to see receivers drop balls or be ineffective over a bum knee and possibly hurt themself much worse by overcompensating.

Wasn’t Bill Belicheck’s philosophy to take out opposing offense’s primary threat (Marshall Faulk in Super Bowl for example)?  Just once I would like the Bills to take Kelce out of the game. In basketball, there’s the box and one.  When you’re playing a superstar, one player is dedicated to covering the star and the remaining four play zone. Is there an equivalent to that in football?  Maybe you save it for the playoffs but I’ll go nuts if Kelce is running free in the secondary on Sunday without a Bill within 10 yards of him.

I think Von Miller, Rousseau, Oliver, Epenesa, Jefferson, Jones and Phillips are going to absolutely wreak havoc on the KC oline. Especially at ot

 

Their wrs won't be able to consistently get open and their RB room isn't talented enough to beat Bernard and Williams/ Taron in space.

 

Buffalo on offense is going to pick on their lbs and pick on Conner/ Johnson. 

 

Losing Watson was big for them 

 

Chip Chris Jones and we'll get a big lead imo

I’d be happy if they just covered him. That ***** is constantly running around our defenders like they are pylons. 

[Kelly to Allen]

Von Miller was signed for this game. Rousseau/ Epenesa and Oliver drafted for this game

Is there anyone that kind of doesn't want to win...? I said kind of....

 

If the bills win the media narrative will be how "buffalo can beat Kansas city in the regular season but not when it really counts in the playoffs". Also if they win they will fight their hardest for the one seed potentially getting players injured along the way.

 

Very unique scenario where losing this game doesn't feel like that big of a deal. If anything id rather have kansas city undefeated in the playoffs with all the pressure In the world.
