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

Lane Johnson pretty much invented it.

It's probably just ptsd from years past, but I just hope McDermott doesn't get out coached in this game. I mean, he didn't last time we played them, or in the playoffs last year, but I just hope they're prepared.

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

 

Rasul has CLEARLY lost a step this season, so he isnt able to react as quick and get those INT's...BUT, he is freaking due man and it would be great to see Sunday.

 

I still think Elam will be part of the equation next season at CB2, along with a rookie and cheap vet.

Lane invented the early jump, not lining up 5 yards back off the LOS like Taylor does (taylor just happens to do them both lol)..is that what you meant?

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 

Not so much that I didn't think other teams or QBs weren't on the same planet. Of course I would still think we are the best team in the league. Maybe I am just different but I'd also be just as bored watching our team all these SBs in a short time span or whatever as I am of the Chiefs/Patriots. I would still want my team to win but I'd be bored of it. 

 

There is something to not being entitled or spoiled. I been a video gamer all my life. When I am not challenged, the game is boring. I much rather fail at something 100 times and then just that one time beat it than I would just beat it the first time every time.

He got outcoached in the regular season this year? Or am I reading that incorrectly.  Can’t think of any other defensive performance against kc where Kelce got held under 10 receiving yards and mahomes had 0 scrambles

McDermott got out coached caused Bass to miss FG? Yes, there was time on clock so no telling what happens but too many blame McDermott for everything.

I mistyped, that was supposed to say he DIDN'T get out coached last year

Side note to the game this week.  Dane Brugler did his first mock draft and here is who he has the bills taking with their 3 picks in the first two rounds.

 

29. Buffalo Bills: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

Revel suffered a torn ACL in September, so his upgraded medical information at the combine will be key to his draft stock. But if fully healthy, he would be a lock as a top-15 pick. The Bills are getting a discount on him at No. 29 in this mock.

 

56. Buffalo Bills (from MIN): Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College

61. Buffalo Bills: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

 

and if the big guy from michigan is still there when we pick in the first round I think there is no way they take a corner over him.  Grant could slide right into jones spot and seems to be the exact player they need.  

 

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

At 6-3, 340, Grant is a rangy big man who can take up space or make plays up and down the line of scrimmage. Adding his talent to the mix would help free up Chris Jones and strengthen the Chiefs’ defensive line.

 

k back to the game.

I recall Keon missing the first KC game back in November.  Are any other Bills playing this Sunday who missed the first game?

WR Keon Coleman

CB Kaiir Elam

LB Edefuan Ulofoshio

OL Will Clapp

OL Spencer Brown

TE Dalton Kincaid

Three pretty big inactives on that list... none bigger than Spencer Brown. Although Van Demark held his own at RT.

As a Chiefs fan you are right. I am bored with it. The first time we reached the SB it was a relief after 50 years of failure. When we won it was like something unreal that I never thought I would experience. Typically this week I would be keyed up and nervous, but this week I am not. It is not because I am arrogant and think we couldn’t possibly lose, or that we are so much better than everyone else. It is simply that it has lost it luster to a certain extent. It also helps because it’s the Bills and I am a closet fan of Allen. If it can’t be us it has to be you.

This is the roster that week. Of note, Spencer Brown, Kincaid, Coleman. We also didn't have Milano back yet.

I'm not a neurologist or doctor but there's a lot of symptoms like eye dilation, slurring words, memory loss, nausea etc that coincidence with the science on brain trauma. 

 

It's not really something you can pretend away. 

 

Unless you're saying that the Drs or medical ppl are corrupt in the NFL. 

 

I mean I guess that's possible. It certainly wasn't with tua. So who knows 

I agree with you here; which is what makes all this all the more damning 2 sets of rules exist.  NFL wants the appearance of protecting players, but ONLY when it does not harm the product on field.  theyre saying one thing, and doing another.  corrupt might be too strong, but at the very minimum its pretty obvious to me theyre there to screen for Plausible deniability with weaker concussions IF the player or the moment is big enough to warrant it.... 'if we put this dude out there, is he going to turn around and run the wrong way on the field? no? throw some dirt on it

Good to see someone who is actually in a position to experience that feels the same as I think I would. There are a lot of people out there saying "everyone hates the Chiefs."  I can only speak for myself, but I don't hate the Chiefs. I'm just bored of seeing them. It's like you turn on the TV and you can pretty much just say "we know how this movie ends." When you are at that point and you aren't a direct fan then why bother watching? I only do now just to see if the other team can make the movie end different. I know they 99% of the time won't but that is the only reason.

Milano wasn't back, Spencer Brown had the ankle, Kincaid had the knee and Coleman was out with the wrist.
