Doesn't @Zerovoltz usually chime in around this time?

 

@Zerovoltz gave up on the season when the Chiefs traded for Deandre Hopkins. They need worse receivers to be a real contender.

I can see, if a couple of things go wrong, the Bills could spiral into getting beaten badly in this game. I hope I'm wrong. 

 

 

without so much offensive firepower, kc could do basically what baltimore did, pressure the middle bunch of guys on the line, show pressure all the time, confuse josh and the OL.  if they dare josh to find guys on the outside who are winning one on one, it's a long horrible day.  we would need our coaches to show improve and scheme us out of that.

 

i think i speak for most fans here when i say that a win for the bills is a much bigger positive than a loss is negative.

[TheFunPolice]

We're going to win by double digits. 

 

This year's version of the Chiefs is not the same. Yes, they're undefeated but they remind me of the Steelers team from a few years back that made it deep into the season undefeated even though nobody took them seriously. 

 

Now, these are the Chiefs, so they have the history and Mahomes and Reid. But they are missing so many offensive weapons this year and Mahomes stats are mediocre at best. 

 

Bills by 10+ this weekend. 

 

It might not be popular to say, but this year the AFC is Baltimore's to lose with us to maybe spoil it for them. Chiefs are a team we'll beat twice: this weekend and once in the playoffs too, but it won't have the same meaning because Baltimore will be waiting in the AFC title game and a much, much harder team to beat in 2024.

I won't care about a loss much, particularly since we're on a win streak & basically have the division wrapped up.

 

The only thing that would kind of bum me out is if we get blown out or it's one-sided, like the Ravens game.

I will say this game could make or break Josh's case for MVP this year. Beating undefeated KC will be a boost come end of the year. Especially if they have a number of guys out on offense this week and Josh plays well.

I am hoping the Steelers can win the division and force the Ravens to go in as a WC. This way if there is a playoff game between the Bills and Ravens it would be played in OP. The Bills would have a good chance to win in this situation.

Yeah not happening. 

Will for me. I don't watch the hype, pre-game, halftime, or post-game commentary, and I mute all but the actual play by play. I wonder why anyone pollutes their mind with all the other crap.

Joe Brady should find a way to take advantage of Nick Bolton in pass coverage. Maybe play both Cook and Davis/Johnson in the backfield on passing downs

Anxious to see Spencer Brown’s practice status today and tomorrow.

Brown and Kincaid not practicing

 

 

sucks that Barmore will be back for both games vs us

I really hope that Cooper is a full go for this game. Else it will be tough without him, Kincaid and Coleman. None of this can be controlled. 

What can be controlled is mistakes and penalties. We have to focus real hard on keeping these to the minimum. We then have a fighting chance even without those three.

This is a game where Shakir needs to play 90% of the offensive snaps. He needs to be the go to guy this week,not just the slot guy.

That's great news.  In the clip I saw yesterday, he seemed to have no problem catching anything.  

 

If the wrist is the only issue, I can't see why he wouldn't be able to play given that.  But of course, I know nothing.

I agree.  Trying to find the source but heard the chiefs are pretty rough against spread.  If Kincaid is out this needs to be 11 personnel game.  LB corp for KC is deep  and I would much rather they have to put another CB on the field.

If Cooper and/or Kincaid is out, I'm curious to see if Bills line a rb at wideout (maybe Cook) and have Johnson or Davis in the backfield.

[26TrapDraw]

As good as it would be to have Cooper on the field it’s not essential. Cooper is a Merc and doesn’t give a damn about the importance of this game or frankly about the Bills because if he did he’d play. So give me the people who Bleed for the Bills Shakir Mack Hollins etc. also Groot needs to have the best game of his career against KC’s atrocious left tackle. We have big physical corners that need to press at the line and throw off the timing of the chiefs ball control offense and give Groot and company time to get home. If they do that it will be a long afternoon for the chiefs.

Line them out wide even if its 1 RB.  I think were gonna pass A LOT.  If brady is gonna run 5 man protection as he has all year, itll be good to spread them out to show their hand.  Our OL doesnt get beat so much as the scheme gets beat.  Typically we have to run condensed formations but I think this week I hope we use spread a bit more.
