How to stop chiefs?

[beacon]

Double team Kelce!!!!  Easier said than done but it seems like every team let's him wander around wherever he wants to. Blanket him. I think the Bills can control their running game. If that means playing more man, so be it. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it. Go Bills!!!

[scuba guy]

Have Swift taken from the game, and tell Travis he has to go get her. ( I joke)

 

It is easy cough cough to stop the chiefs score more don't let the refs determine the game and keep long drives alive with tds and not fgs

[stuvian]

We can start with the game plan we used to stop Kelce in the regular season. Was it Bernard who covered him in our win?

Hopefully McD sees this thread.  I’m sure it hasn’t crossed their minds.

The Bills know how to play the Chiefs better than any other team. They are the only team that consistently beats them in the regular season. This time we are pretty healthy, so we won't have that as a major determining factor like we have the previous couple of times we met them in the post season.

1. Double what Chiefs are paying Zebras

 

2. Ban National Media Coverage

 

3. Full-scale surveillance of Goodell this week

 

4. Block Taylor Swift's Social Media platforms

 

5. Cancel the Kelce's podcast

 

****And, it would probably be helpful to make more 3rd down stops on Kermit.

I don’t think doubling Kelce is a good strategy these days. Maybe when he was faster/more dominant and their top WRs were Smith-Schuster, MVS and Toney. But not with Brown, Worthy and Hopkins out there.

haha immediately what I thought of

Kelce always appears open because if you let Mahomes have all day to throw he will eventually find Kelce. Kelce is super good at finding open space and it’s really hard to hold coverage on him for too long.

i think they are going to run and target worthy and kelce, scheme them open.  the d has to be disciplined and hit mahomes (while avoiding flags, gulp) early and often.  kc has trash tackles, that's how we make their day long.  a turnover early is important and helpful.

 

on the other side, it's about dominating at the LOS.  mashing them up and running  hard.  cook is our all around every down weapon.  100 yards for him and kc has a steep uphill climb.  TY on his big breaking plays and ray davis in power runs too.  also, i think the bills must be creative on O.  they weren't creative enough vs baltimore and vs kc it's necessary. 

 

huge huge game.

prepare for a wrinkle in the worthy jet motion play, be it a pass or just a different look or blocking scheme.

Similar to the Ravens (although offenses are not that similar) I feel like they are going to move the ball on you.. as the Ravens did on us... I dont think they actually punted in that game they either scored or turned it over...  I feel like the winning formula is similar... play excellent red zone D... force field goals and have Josh wear a cape... and score TDs... be at least even if not plus 1 in the TO battle... 

 

Said the same thing about the Ravens game we did force a couple of field goals instead of TDs (especially the 1st and goal at the 2) that really helped us win that game, the Defense made up for Josh not wearing a cape by getting 3 turnovers...  not expecting that in this game... so Josh gonna need to finish drives with TDs.. and for the love of God be up more than 1 score with less than 2 minutes left...  Over simplification, probably... but I just dont think you can scheme your way defensively to shutting KC down... they are gonna get yards.

Shouldn’t the Chiefs be wondering how they’re going to stop the Bills? We scored 525 points over the course of the season….they scored 385. That’s an average of 31 v 22. 
 

Which BTW is almost EXACTLY what both teams have averaged in the Playoffs as well.

The Chiefs are really not that good, just eat some clock and maybe bring the officials some hot chocolate 

[Steptide]

Definitely have to cover Kelce, but he's also not the factor he used to be for them. How he gets wide open sometimes, I have no idea, so obviously the bills defense has to pay attention to that.

Yeah, good point.  They suck.  

[Sweats]

Well, we've got a couple of different things to focus on here..........

 

* Cover Kelce

* Sut down the run game

* Spy Mahomes

 

I didn't include Worthy cause he's a rookie and usually gets in his own way, so he's not much of a threat to us. History has shown when Reid tries to showcase him that if you shut him down early and often, KC tends to go away from him.

Also, the dude is the size of a twig.......hit him a few times and make him cry.

 

Teams have shown that if you can pressure Mahomes, he makes bad decisions, and we don't necessarily need to sack him, just force pressure around him and create chaos in his pocket, which forces him to dance around, but if we've got a legitimate spy on him, he'll fold.

Let him know that's it's going to be a longggggggggg day for him if he tries his bull**** with us.

 

Kelsey is not who he once was. He is still a threat and is still Mahomes number one guy to throw to in a pinch, but if we jam him at the line and disrupt his routes and rhythm, we can slow him down and get him out of the plays.

 

Absolutely stopping their run game should definitely be high on our list. Like, i'm talking stopping it cold and stopping it before it can even get going.

 

[BuffaloBillyG]

The first key is to not let Mahomes roll out and extend the play. Much like Josh, Pat can create outside the pocket. Walk the pass rush into his lap and don't give him lanes to escape.

 

Second, mix up the plan on Kelce. Bracket cover on third or inside 20. 

 

Keep outside contain whenever Worthy goes in motion. I also expect the Chief to try and dominate the run game. They have Pacheco and Hunt with two All Pros blocking against a Buffalo run defense that can get got. Winning up front will be the key just like it was in the first half last week. 

 

Anyone remember a few weeks ago when Dorian Williams kept sleep blitzing up the middle getting immediate pressure? I wanna see that blitz a few times from him and Milano.
