Listen to locked on chiefs and it's pretty comical.. They are claiming :

 

-Last meeting between these teams, chiefs played the most vanilla game on purpose

 

-Kept talking about how Andy Reid didn't show anything last week against the Texans on purpose as well

 

-Also said Hopkins only played 16 snaps last week because they had that game well in hand and they were saving him.

 

Note^... It was 13-12 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter... lol

I will say I really appreciate Locked On Bills with Joe Marino. He is about as objective as they come. Seldom do I feel like he goes into a fanboy on all his podcasts.

Marino is leagues ahead of the rest of his Locked On colleagues from everything I've seen and heard.

100 percent agreed. Because I feel like he's unbiased. And knows a lot about the other team and can offer good insights about them

Yeah he runs circles around all of them. Some are Joe Marino Fan Boys. He dominates those Pods.

You have to be able to beat Jawaan Taylor. 7-sacks allowed, 17 penalties. 

Mike Caliendo is rated 114/145 Guards by PFF. 
 

Humphrey and Smith are elite.

 

Which means someone is going to have to get around Joe Thuney. 

 

I think it’s time for Von to actually get a large snap share. We need him. It can’t be a game like last week and the final 3-snaps Javon Solomon is out there getting sealed off inside and pushed past Lamar. He can’t be out there.

 

Rousseau will be out there at 80%, I believe in him. 

Refs can't allow Taylor to line up in the backfield either 🤔

They can and will. It's been a problem, along with his early starts, for several years. They may call it once or twice but he does it on most of his pass blocking snaps and the refs aren't going to call them all.

Complete opposite attitude of Diggs.

I believe Cooper is going to go off this week. Kincaid also

This is where coach makes his due and point it out before and during game

Bills rushed 3 DL and had Williams spy Lamar.  Solomon, Jefferson and Epenesa were the rushers.  There were 7 Bills in coverage scheme.

Hate this scheme so very much!! Can't allow QB and receivers to run around all day. They'll eventually get open

Felt like Lamar could have taken 10 more seconds on that play. No one was getting close.

 

It's the old saying - the prevent D prevents winning.  We got lucky w/ that 2-pointer.  We should have been more aggressive before that.

Conversely, KC is one of the least penalized for false starts 

Wow how is this possible?  Jawaan Taylor false starts every play.

A lot of bad illnesses going around WNY last few weeks. Hopefully the boys stay healthy. 

 

That would suck so much.

 

Dawkins is sick and Allen didn’t sound great

My son, wife and I have been sick in the last month and non stop coughing for at least 3 weeks before it went away. My wife still has it. We’re in Arkansas, so it’s all over the country

Several years? I don’t think too many fans have even heard of him much less his issues until he joined KC last year.

I'd like to see Zach Davidson elevated and play this Sunday, him plus Keon and Hollins would make an interesting red zone trio I think, they'd have a height advantage plus physicality if the flags are swallowed. KJ Hamler could also be a decoy/deep threat. I would elevate two offensive skill players this week even if they are inactive on gameday.  

 

Special Teams will be really crucial too, Houston really messed up last week and KC seems to constantly excel in this area. Have Codrington back for some punts and Shakir for others. Alternate Codrington, Davis and Ty for the kickoff returns. Try to keep KC on their toes and be ready for the fake kicks, onsides and Hail Marys and have also have some emergency tricks up our sleeves as well. When we see evenly matched teams on O and D, the difference can be found in ST.

Is Watson a former pro bowler that I don’t know about? I keep reading about him in this thread and that Josh needs to avoid him. Honestly asking, am I missing something? Or is it just that he was the starter, got injured, then came back? 

He’s good in coverage and the guy he replaced was pretty bad.  It’s definitely a notable upgrade as far as pass coverage goes, feels pretty shaky in run support to me though.  I don’t think we’d beat him over the top but he’s gettable in other ways. 
 

someone out there in the twitterverse compared epa’s with/without Milano and with/without Watson and it worked out Milano added a little more value.  Granted idk how far back they went cuz Milano was absolute dogsh*t his first couple weeks back and has turned it on since lol

Only beating them and lifting the Lombardi will change the tenor of any of this.
