All white was the .13-second game. That is the demon they are exercising on Sunday. That's why they made that choice.

Blue socks this time.  Minor tweak and my favorite combo of their road Uni's.

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

 

It's because they all want to live in this fantasy where they believe that no other team is anywhere in the same universe as the Chiefs. Like sure, maybe the Chiefs are better than everyone else, but to think they just exist in some other plain is ridiculous. They want to believe they can just sleep through the whole thing and still win. They don't want to admit that other teams are even close to them. I'm not even talking equal... just close. Mahomes is just in another galaxy compared to any other QB. They get soft and offended if anything nice is said about a QB not named Mahomes at all.

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

Coaches and players tell the refs to focus on things every game. Doesn’t mean the refs will do anything about it.  I’m sure coaches playing against the chefs say it every week. But it rarely gets called.

Whaaaat?  

 

Last time the Bills played the Chiefs, the Bills had 31 rushing attempts to 40 passing attempts.   They ran less than they passed, but they were most certainly trying to run the ball.

 

Now, they only achieved 104 rush yards for those 31 attempts (and 3 rush TDs but who's counting?).  But theoretically, 3.35 YPA moves the chains.....

James Cook ran the ball 9 times for 20 yards. 3.3 YPC is not a good metric by any standard IMO. Allen scrambles inflated this as well (26 yard TD scamper).

Why? Last time we played the Chiefs we threw it 40 times and beat them by two scores

 

The team we’ve seen the last two weeks is not the same as it was earlier the last time we played.  This is predictive and speculative, so I could be off base. I feel they’ve found their stride trying to stay ahead of the sticks and limit exposure to the pass rush and reduce need to push the ball down the field.

Don’t think we were playing much jumbo back then and we were missing Spencer brown so I’m not sure how relevant the effectiveness level is from that last matchup but you are 100% right that we definitely tried lol 

The Brown point is fair. However, RBs were 19 for 49 yards at a whopping 2.6 YPC. All did most of the work here.

 

We just dominated two of the best run defenses in football. That’s what makes me think they’re going to attack this game differently

So just to play devil’s advocate, would we not think the same way if the Bills were in the same position? Even now, we get offended when someone doesn’t think Josh is the best QB in the league. I think it would be easy to say “no, we wouldn’t be like that” but I think if the Bills had won 3 of the last 4 super bowls and had just gone 15-2 (with really only 1 loss) there would be a lot of us thinking the same way.

 

That being said, it’s going to be a lot of fun watching them come back to earth on Sunday

This game comes down to our O-line. We need to physically dominate KC’s D and grind them to a pulp. We just ran down the throats of one of the nastiest D’s in the league, we need to pound KC and make it a grind. I want to see several Josh power runs, not worried about injury it’s time to let it all out and Josh plays better after he takes a shot. 

We are still talking football, right? 🤔
 

so many innuendos I couldn’t tell if I was still logged into TBD or the penthouse forum 😆

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.

The solution to this is easy.  The refs meet with Reid before the game and give a warning they are going to call it if they see it - Reid tells player.  At the very start of the game, if you see it, you call it (maybe give one warning) - and tell the player you are going to call it.  You set the expectation.  If he continues to do it then you call it - you've warned the coach and player - if they don't get the msg theres nothing else you can do

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.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bro. They are not going to elevate and give any meaningful snaps in THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP game to Zach f'ing Davidson lol

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

not to mention he is lined up illegally on half the plays.  No one else in the league is allowed to do this.

All white with blue socks? That will look terrible. Tell me this is not true. Have the Bills ever wore all white with blue socks? I am trying to picture it and in my head it looks gross.

check Bills social media accounts, they posted a pic. I think it looks sick...as to if we have ever worn the blue socks with all white, I cannot recall.

 

Edit: found the answer, they have worn all white with blue socks 3 times...2023 we beat the chargers, 2021 we lost to the Bucs in OT, 2020 we beat the Jets

This better happen.  They should be flagged early multiple times for that nonsense. I am beyond sick of watching it

you dont think opposing coaches talk to the refs before every chiefs game and point this out? lol

[Warriorspikes51]

is it too much to ask that we demolish this team and Allen plays the best game of his life to this point?

 

probably but that's what I'm asking for 

Bold prediction:   Rasul Douglas has not had an INT all year that I can think of?   Last season he was a big time playmaker

I say Rasul gets a tipped ball and takes it to the house!

Ive been thinking the same.  Last season, Rasul was great at reading play, and jumping routes for interceptions.  He made many big plays.  Rasul is overdue.  CB will be a priority this offseason IMO

A blowout would be nice. After years of suffering and stress we deserve a comfortable win 

[Warriorspikes51]

How about a couple of deep strikes to Cooper in this game for scores please
