This comment by Spencer and Cooper talking about tasting the SB

 

Gimme a break.  Of course they can taste it -- it's literally 60 minutes away!  Talk about just looking for things to be worried about...smh

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.

 

I dunno...looks pretty sweet to me.

I have to call out John Dixon specifically haha the one regular season loss will be on the chiefs mind as motivation but the 3 playoff losses won’t be on the bills? 😂. Makes no sense 

 

as I always say though I applaud his guts for picking a not terribly close score.  I’m so tired of the picks where these people are like yea this team is better yada yada 24-23 final lol 

 

I’ve actually seen a fair amount of bills picks methinks arrowhead pride selectively chose all writers predicting a kc win intentionally.  It’d be pretty hard to find that big of a random sample of writers that all picked the chiefs in this one.  The Baltimore picks last week were more lopsided.  My exposure to kc media this week seems to give me the impression that they are mostly massive homers which I get they win a lot but come on now lol 

i want to see the Bills expert picks anywhere that pick the Chiefs to win. I know we do see it, though - which is rare.

Isn't Bishop faster than Cam?

 

Might be better considering KC has Worthy & Brown.  Regardless, I'm sure the coaches will make a better decision than we can.

 

When I watch back the games he plays, I think the coaches have tried to make it easy for him.

 

He plays so far back so that the plays are always in front of him.

 

But even with that advantage he still gets lost in coverage. 
 

I haven’t seen him do anything other than mop up tackle this season.

Benford is out there is a red non-contact but running around without restriction. 

 

No Rapp. 

 

Milano practicing. 

 

Dawkins back as well. 

 

It's trending towards everyone but Rapp. 

LOT better than our situation going into the Divisional Round against KC last year!

No AJ Klein getting up off his couch, dusting off the cobwebs, and being tasked with guarding Kelce!!

I was thinking OMG what a luxury to be able to field 3 legitimate NFL caliber LBs this time!

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

 

Again I'm not a dr. But from everything I read there's a massive difference between a severe concussion with symptoms and seizure compared to just getting shaken up. 

 

If it's the latter they probably are more liberal in letting a guy play. 

 

If there's no symptoms it's really not that big of a deal in my unprofessional opinion

I can't help but think that even that one move (which was of course necessary w/ the injuries) cost us the game last year.  You could see it on a few plays where the coverage was just terrible.  Nothing against Klein, but he clearly was slower than his best days and definitely slower than the guy he was filling in for.

This is fantastic, as Benford will almost certainly clear protocol.  The guy I was actually most worried about was Dion, as you never know what "sickness" means and I have nightmarish flashbacks to Bruce Smith and the flu that kept him out of a playoff game.

Yeah I would think with Friday and Saturday yet to go and how much he's running, I think it looks good for him to get cleared.

I'm known as "the Bills fan" at work here in Illinois. The number of people who have told me they're all counting on me to beat the Chiefs this weekend has been crazy. Hell you'd think I'm starting at free safety on Sunday the way they're talking. 

[Kelly to Allen]

Milano looks good in practice.  It's great having Williams as depth too. 

 

This is going to be a great game.

It absolutely 100% did, mcd was havin none of that this year he pretty much bubble wrapped everybody and dumped a ton of snaps on Milano to get him ready for the playoffs despite Milano being absolutely awful when he first returned

I was about to ask him what is 40 time is. Is he faster than Cam Lewis?

Rapp is a 4.6 guy. 

 

Bishop has legit 4.4 speed and great athletic ability. He's also a very tough hitter. Bishop can also play nickel too. He has legit cornerback skills with safety size

It was terrible …. They went after him and he couldn’t do much to try to stop it … 

 

Even with Rapp out of this game ( and I’m still hoping that isn’t the case )  … it’s so different at this stage of  the season to have no other major injuries ….it seems a rare opportunity

Not just minimal other injuries, the primary backup (Bishop) has had a ton of run and seemingly getting more acquainted with the position.  Though the Chiefs in the playoffs are a test like none other.
